On today’s show Dan and Ian explore the (arguably) most creative, powerful – but also potentially toxic – relationship in entrepreneurship: that between a mentor and a mentee.
We’re doing so by speaking with Tim Conley, a Dynamite Circle member who has quite a bit of experience in these types of relationships. We talk to him about how to find a mentor, what makes a good one and how these relationships evolve over time.
Listen to this week’s show and learn:
- Why anyone who would make a good mentor will say no when you approach them. (3:40)
- Tim’s definition of what a mentor is. (4:34)
- The different types of characters that pop up when fostering these kinds of relationships. (9:24)
- Tips to keep in mind when searching for a mentor. (22:53)
- Why successful people usually have more responsibility and not less. (27:00)
