Welcome to Episode 4 of The Thinklings Podcast!

Have you ever wondered where the idea of mentoring originated? Although the practice has existed since the beginning, we explore one fascinating answer in this episode.

After Books & Business, Thinkling Carter introduces The Adventures of Telemachus — a 17th-century work written in a Greek-mythological style to tutor a French duke. The book overflows with ideas about discipleship, and we dive into how they still matter today.
