OhHello - a show about non BS career mentorship and expert advice
Jeremy Bloom
At OhHello, we unlock the full potential of your workforce through personalized, real-time mentorship. Powered by AI, we deliver 1:1 mentor matches that drive growth, engagement, and immediate results. The post-pandemic workplace is fractured. Employees feel isolated, disconnected, and disengaged—leading to productivity slumps and high turnover. Traditional mentorship programs are outdated, while businesses struggle to offer meaningful career support. Key challenges include: 1. Quiet Quitting is Spreading: Disengaged employees do just enough to get by, killing productivity and innovation. 2. Remote Teams Feel Lost: Lack of in-person interaction drains team cohesion and trust. 3. Mentorship is Broken: Outdated programs fail to provide the timely, personalized guidance modern employees crave. 4. No Access to Expertise: Employees struggle to find guidance or career support when they need it most. 5. Vulnerability is Lacking: A culture of "fend for yourself" leaves employees feeling unsupported and alone. OhHello offers an urgent remedy to today’s workplace challenges. Our platform provides: * Instant Human Connection: Employees get real-time access to mentors who can guide them through challenges via 1:1 video sessions. * Top-Tier, Empathetic Mentors: Selected from the best global companies, our mentors deliver guidance with empathy and real-world expertise. * AI-Powered, Personalized Matching: Our AI ensures employees connect with the right mentor at the right time, accelerating problem-solving and development. * On-Demand Mentorship: Employees can book sessions on-demand, ensuring they get help exactly when they need it by hand-selecting multiple mentors to learn from. * Scalable, Annual Membership: As your company grows, OhHello.io scales with you, providing structured monthly sessions to keep your teams engaged and on track. Mentorship with a Purpose: Our unique model incentivizes mentors by connecting their time to 50+ charities. Mentors give back while delivering value to your team, creating a win-win.

"'However, In my head, I'm a 19 y/o Stanford drop-out dude-bro, with all the world's confidence, and this is how I present and this is how I talk.' When that comes in a different package than the audience perceives, it's a fine balance that many have to adapt to. I'm here to help."A pioneer of digital data management in advertising, this ‘Hello’ was responsible for the development of the @Demdex platform (aka Adobe Audience Manager) from its early days through its successful acquisition and integration into the Adobe Experience Cloud. Prior to starting Sparrow she established TransUnion's Global Strategic Consulting group (fka Signal) and helped Fortune 500 customers adopt advanced and predictive analytics across their marketing, ad ops, and digital content business units at SAS.Her consulting portfolio includes working for the United Nations, executing initiatives in 50+ countries, and advising companies on go-to-market strategies all around the globe. The mentor is frequently quoted by media powerhouses like The Wall Street Journal and Insider(who in 2018 named her as one of 23 industry leaders working on fixing advertising) as well as industry trades like Adweek, Ad Age, Digiday, AdExchanger, and ExchangeWire.Two special mentors she wants to give a special shout-out to: Adam Solomon + Bill Stratton.But, today, Ana Milicevic is most excited to be one of our earliest mentors on the OhHello.io platform…when we launch this summer!
