The best career advice: “Find a mentor.” The reality: mentors are hard to find, harder to schedule, and almost impossible to maintain.
But the KNOWLEDGE you’d get from a mentor? That’s available everywhere — in the articles, essays, and interviews published by the people you admire.
Pick 5-10 people whose thinking you want to absorb. Save everything they publish to audiclip.
Your mentor station might include:
Two AI hosts discuss each piece. The second host asks the mentee questions: “How would you apply this if you’re only 2 years into your career?” “What’s the advice for someone who hasn’t achieved [X] yet?”
A real mentor gives you:
Three out of four isn’t bad for a system that requires zero networking, zero scheduling, and zero awkward “can I pick your brain?” emails.
Day 1: You hear about an idea from someone you admire. Day 30: You’ve absorbed 150+ ideas from your “mentor panel.” Day 90: You start THINKING like them — their frameworks become yours. Day 180: People notice. Your judgment improves. Your perspective deepens.
A mentor you listen to for 20 minutes daily shapes your thinking more than a mentor you see for 30 minutes quarterly.
You can’t schedule a mentor. You can press play on one.
