Information isn’t the gap between failure and success—action is. Path for Growth’s 1-on-1 coaching helps you create a plan and execute on what matters most for your business. Apply today at pathforgrowth.com/coaching.


We are talking about a topic that we’re deeply passionate at Path for Growth. Today is going to be extremely actionable because we’re talking about maximizing mentorship. This is a very practical conversation and I’m going to share with you the methodology I’ve created for finding and maximizing mentorship. 


  • After buying people coffee or lunch hundreds of times, I’ve created a method for maximizing conversations with people that I think of as mentors (1:43)
  • Everyone should be seeking out and learning from mentors (2:59)
  • I want to start with the three biggest reasons this is worth your time (3:30)
  • The first reason is that you have the opportunity to distill decades into days (4:25)
  • The second reason is that empathetic human connection is essential (6:31)
  • The third reason is that there are few things more valuable than context driven support (8:12)
  • What you’re really signing up for here is responsibility (10:08)
  • Here are the seven steps that I use to maximize mentorship (11:14)
  • Step One: Identify the area or the person that you want to grow (11:58)
  • Step Two: Send a well-worded, intentional and specific request (14:06)
  • Step Three: Prepare questions ahead of time (17:47)
  • Step Four: Buy the coffee or meal (20:14)
  • Step Five: Take notes and lead the conversation (21:40)
  • Step Six: If it was valuable and time you’d like to have again, ask them at the end (25:18)
  • Step Seven: Send an intentional thank you message with evidence of action (26:34)
  • My request to you is to take action (29:25)
