🌱 Episode Overview

In this thoughtful and wide-ranging episode of Yes And Land, Ryan Gregerson sits down with attorney Kenton Walker to explore the true meaning of mentorship—and why it matters more than ever in fast-paced, high-pressure professional environments.

Kenton shares his unconventional career journey, from pharmacist to patent litigator to family law attorney, and reflects on how each chapter shaped his approach to people, leadership, and learning. At the heart of the conversation is a powerful idea: mentorship isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about sharing experience, building trust, and guiding others through uncertainty.
