Stop Begging for Mentors. Build This Instead || Masterminds Podcast EP43
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most people say they’re looking for a mentor. What they’re really missing is a mentorship system.
In this solo episode of the Masterminds Podcast, Richie Mensah breaks down why waiting for a “big person” to mentor you is the wrong approach, and what you should be building instead if you actually want to grow.
This episode reframes mentorship as a process, not a person.
It’s about learning how to extract lessons, principles, and patterns from people, environments, books, experiences, and even failure, without needing access, permission, or proximity.
If you’ve been stuck waiting for guidance, validation, or opportunity, this episode will give you a practical framework to move forward immediately.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why begging for mentors keeps people stuck
- The difference between mentors and mentorship systems
- How to learn from people without having direct access to them
- The types of mentorship most people ignore
- How to extract principles instead of copying paths
- Why self-directed learning is a superpower
- How to grow faster with intention and structure
