Chasing Excellence

Coaches Aren't Essential. Here's Why You Need One Anyway.


Listen Later

Coaches and mentors aren't essential — but they might be the best shortcut you'll ever find.

In this episode, we answer Chase Club member David's question about whether coaches need coaches, and explore how Ben has built three very different mentorship relationships, each running on a different value exchange.

You'll learn why reciprocity is the non-negotiable foundation of any real mentorship, and why curiosity, vulnerability, and patience are what you must bring as the mentee. Whether it's a paid business coach, a peer who trades expertise, or a friend who keeps you accountable — the best guidance always helps you see what you can't see from inside your own life.
