Send us a text

What really makes someone a mentor? 🧠 In this powerful episode, Joey Pinz uncovers the deeper emotional truths behind mentorship with psychologist and founder of The Mentor Project, Dr. Deborah Heiser.
👥 Mentorship isn’t a job title — it’s a calling. Deborah shares the five essential ingredients that define true mentorship (spoiler: one of them is trust), how lateral mentorship can save lives — literally — and why everyone, no matter their expertise, has something valuable to pass on. You’ll learn how mentoring is more about generativity than generosity and why vulnerability is key on both sides of the relationship.
💡 Is it time to rethink the way we mentor and seek mentorship? Deborah says yes — and she explains how modern mentorship spans generations, tech, and even AI.

🌟 Top 3 Highlights:
 1. 🔍 The 5 key traits that define authentic mentorship
 2. 🌍 Lateral mentorship examples — including one from space
 3. 🎨 How one artist’s mentorship changed a Tanzanian community
