This week, in honor of Father’s Day, we discuss the role and idea of mentorship, not just those that have played a role in our own lives, but also the concept. We focus on how we understand the best ways to be a mentee rather than on being a mentor and how finding the right mentor can change one’s trajectory. We learn from others in all areas and stages of our lives, so it’s a great topic to stop and think through here in the middle of the year.
Also, Matthias has thoughts on Father’s Day, the Beach Boys are on our minds, and we get a bit astronomical. It’s an all-new Get Invested.

Key Takeaways
If you want someone to mentor you, be ready to do what they tell you to do.
Be willing to forgo financial compensation to learn from those who have done it before you.
If there’s no need to invent a new way/your way, be ok with copying someone who has done it.
Being a mentee means learning, and all learning requires us to put our egos aside to grow.
Be open to discovering a mentor you weren’t looking for.
You can have many mentors for different aspects of your life and at different times in your life.
If nothing else is available, you can always find a passive mentor. Someone you can learn from who may not even know you exist.
