Season Two Premiere: Is there a Doctor in the House?

In the Season Two opener, Mindful Mentoring producer Jim Hickey turns the tables and interviews the podcast's host, Tom Martin. Jim asks Tom about his recent experience receiving an honorary doctorate (along with his wife, Wanda), and delivering the commencement address at the College of Charleston Winter Commencement ceremony. In his speech, Martin challenged the graduates to think about the mentors who had shaped their lives and helped them reach this milestone moment in their academic journey. Martin expands on the themes of the speech, including the importance of curiosity, humility, and giving back as these graduates embark on their careers. He also shares what the Martin Center research efforts are revealing about why some mentoring relationships are more successful than others, and why the role of the mentee is so crucial to making the relationship work. This episode also has a surprise ending.
