Today, I'm talking with Dr. Deborah Heiser, a renowned psychologist, speaker, and author of The Mentorship Edge, to explore the critical yet misunderstood role of mentorship in today’s society. 

Together, we unpack how mentorship extends beyond professional titles and corporate settings, delving into its deeper presence in everyday life — from family car rides to lifelong friendships and lateral relationships.

Dr. Heiser reveals the five essential ingredients of true mentorship, distinguishing it from coaching, advising, or job-driven guidance. We break down common myths around mentorship, especially in structured environments like the military, where mentorship is often assigned rather than inspired. Through real-life anecdotes and powerful insights, the conversation emphasizes that mentorship thrives on intrinsic motivation, mutual respect, trust, and meaningful connection.

The discussion also navigates the influence of technology, social media, and virtual platforms in shaping modern mentorship. From influencers to YouTubers, today's youth are forming deep parasocial connections that may mimic mentorship but lack essential ingredients. So, we get into how podcasting, storytelling, and shared values contribute to generational impact, allowing us to mentor people we may never meet — even beyond the grave.
