Show Notes

Mentors: the wise guides who show up at just the right time—or so the movies tell us. But what does it really mean to have a mentor? Andrew and I dive into this question as we explore how mentors shape the Hero’s Journey and our own lives. From Yoda to Mr. Miyagi, we unpack what makes mentors unique, why they don’t just hand over all the answers, and how their wisdom often comes with impeccable timing. We also reflect on what sets mentors apart from allies, whether everyone needs a mentor, and how to recognize the mentors in our own lives.
