I guess I’m having a binge month right now because THIS is the kind of conversation I listen to while I’m creating, going about my mornings, and most faithfully, while I have lunch everyday.
Gosh, this podcast. I love a story. I love an origin story. I love a success story. I love a testimony. I love answers. Real-life, real-time, current and wisdom-packed answers. The Mentee is a gold mine. This podcast is formatted in the most flowing way.
By Wyatt’s questions alone, there is a conversational flow that happens every episode where I, as a listener, feel so represented by a true spokesperson who asks so thoughtfully and meticulously of these mentors about their experiences. Wyatt has moves at a cadence that’s in our favor and carries on the dialogue as bridge for us.
Being a 24 year old in this eye-opening, deprogramming era of my life, I pause a heck of a lot to take notes… This is a powerful place where I spend time letting the interviews play on Spotify and have many revelatory moments. The Mentee has given me the language to define so many common hangups in my life experience while listening to the guests’ personal stories. These were hangups I didn’t know were common but thought were just me. I can undoubtedly come and find an abundance of wisdom, opportunity, have my mind blown, or hear something of relief/uplifting being shared at The Mentee table. Everybody needs to hear this. All the way down to the book suggestions, this Podcast helps you start breathing, broadens your perspective about life/ relationships, and makes one not feel alone.
Coming from a person who learned to despise asking for help—school played a huge part in that, I’ve regained the assurance through this podcast that—> just as much as I, personallyyy, want others to have a painless experience, enjoy life, and would be more than happy to share a resource or refer someone, there really are people out there who have the same heart. This podcast gives me hope in humanity. The humanitarian that Wyatt is has blessed me, likely unbeknownst to him as my mother currently works with his teams in business.
Before ever meeting Wyatt, all would describe him as the one whose resources spread far and wide. The one who changed their life. I, actually, have witnessed and overheard Wyatt being a resource and a problem solver for people on the spot! Just in passing through my mom’s office amongst his team.
A big concept for me in 2022 has been learning how to look at my life and myself and my thoughts “objectively.” That simple concept was a posture that I’d hardly ever taken on when it came my own life and problem solving. Yet, it’s the way we look at other people’s problems everyday.. we see solutions for others so quickly when someone lays out their dilemma.
It’s easy to zoom out for other people, and very seldom had I done that for me. Maybe just a fear of zooming out and seeing how complex I made it, and facing the feeling of wasted time.
This podcast WILL remind you,“Relationships. Connections. Resources.” The Mentee has given me relief that “asking for help is something that even the greatest mentors still do.” It’s a hallmark in my mind now.
Here I find alignment with the conversation and new pattern of thinking I needed. That would route me to my truest and most aware self.
As a start-from-the-beginning kind of viewer, I went back and listened to the early episodes to hear how it all came about.
So I must say, Thank you Geoff for starting this podcast…, and thank you Wyatt for not letting it go
