What does family mean to you? For years, we’ve stuck to a picture-perfect concept of family, but does that image serve us anymore? On this last episode for Season One of  Mentored Podcast, Carson and Martin look at family issues encountered when mentoring leaders and how you might be more like family to others.

Family issues can profoundly impact a leader's decision-making, focus, and emotional well-being. Understanding this connection is crucial for mentors developing leaders. Let's have a conversation to learn how to create an environment where leaders feel supported.

Carson and Martin will be tackling big questions like:

What if the family you’ve longed for could be built?

How can we get past those negative voices from our upbringing?

Is it okay for Christian leaders to admit their families aren’t picture-perfect? (Spoiler alert: Yes, it is.)

Why is it that people try to control their image and its impact on laughter.

Martin and Carson also share some personal stories—because, hey, even these two grandpas have had their moments with their families.

If you’ve felt the pressure to have it all together or wonder how to show up as “family” for others, this conversation is for you. Take a break, pour a coffee, and join us as we unpack the complexities of family, leadership, mentoring and authenticity.
