In Chapter 13 of 20 in his 2015 Capture Your Flag interview, bestselling author and inspirational speaker Simon Sinek answers "What role have advocate and sponsor relationships played in your development?" Sinek notes that what he sees as the value delivered by advocates and sponsors he sees in his friends. In short, Sinek considers his friends his advocates and sponsor, and feels it is a reciprocal relationship. This type of relationship builds on what Simon has shared about mentoring relationships in previous Capture Your Flag interviews - the mentor-mentee relationships in his life are mutual or two-way mentor relationship where both parties benefit. Simon Sinek is an author of multiple best selling books "Start With Why", "Leaders Eat Last", "Together is Better", and "Find Your Why". His next book is titled "The Infinite Game".
