Summary

It is a natural process within the corporate ecosystem for a mentee to bloom into a mentor. A shift so delicate that Ross woke up one day to realize he had metamorphosed into an old, wise professional equipped to bestow his knowledge on a young corporate spawn. It’s a beautiful thing to witness. In this episode, Ross and Natalie discuss their experience with mentors helping guide their professional and personal lives. Ross shares the fulfillment he gets from being a mentor, and Natalie shares a touching story about her current mentor, Lauren. You’ll hear why you shouldn’t disregard peer-mentors, and the duo also gives some inadvisable techniques for locking down a top-tier mentor such as hiding in golf bags, short-circuiting elevators, or crafting voodoo dolls of your prospective mentors. Stay tuned for some responses to listener advice requests about wearing make-up in the office, whether to send an AI written poem to fire someone, and if it’s worth risking your job to rig a golf sweepstakes.
