Most people say they want a mentor but very few know how to actually choose the right one.
In this episode, I sit down with Francis Jones to unpack why mentorship accelerates success faster than almost anything else and why bad mentorship can quietly stall your growth. We challenge the idea that mentors are just “successful people you admire” and expose the hidden criteria most people completely overlook.
Francis breaks down three specific keys to finding the right mentor not the most impressive one, not the most famous one, but the one who will actually move you forward. We also talk about when mentorship becomes dependency, how to know if you’ve outgrown a mentor, and why the best mentors often don’t look like mentors at first.
If you’ve ever wondered:
- Why some people seem to level up faster than everyone else
- Why advice from smart people sometimes keeps you stuck
- Or how to find guidance without giving away your personal power
This conversation will reframe how you think about mentorship and may completely change who you listen to next.
