#49 Finding a Mentor: Why Your Goals Need a Guide
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of the Wholistic Productivity Podcast, Chris LeBrun continues his series on building relationships that accelerate your progress.
We often think productivity is about better systems, tighter schedules, or stronger discipline. But sustainable growth doesn’t happen alone. If you want to reach meaningful goals — professionally, personally, or purpose-driven — you need the right people around you.
One of the most powerful relationships you can build is a mentor.
In this episode, Chris explains why your goals need a guide — someone just a few steps ahead who can help you avoid common mistakes, grow faster, and build confidence along the way.
You’ll learn:
- How to find a mentor in your existing network
- Why your mentor doesn’t need to be wildly successful or older than you
- How to approach a potential mentor without awkwardness
- Smart, strategic questions to ask
- How becoming a mentor yourself strengthens your own growth
Drawing from real-world experience in fundraising, entrepreneurship, and even the mentorship culture of amateur radio, Chris breaks down practical steps you can take immediately.
If you’ve been trying to grow on your own, this episode may be the missing piece.
