The rules of mentorship have changed. Did you get the memo? I didn't. That is, until I read Eric Koester's new book, Super Mentors: The Ordinary Person's Guide to Asking Extraordinary People for Help. In this episode, Eric teaches us why the old approach to mentorship is no longer relevant, and what effective mentorship looks like today.

Join us to learn the new rules of seeking out, reaching out, and getting life changing help from extraordinary people. Our conversation is packed with actionable advice, including what to ask, who to ask, and how to overcome your fear of asking, even your biggest idols, for assistance.

Eric is an entertaining storyteller, sharing his personal experiences mentoring others, research into mentorship best-practices and the #1 secret to engaging extraordinary people in your success.

In this episode, legendary thought leader Daniel Pink and I debunk conventional wisdom on a range of topics. We start out chatting about Pink's former TV show Crowd Control for teaching behavioral science principles in an entertaining way, highlighting the importance of communicating the reasons behind rules and humanizing those affected by them. Then we discuss the myth of extroversion being necessary for sales, with ambiverts shown to be the most effective. We also explore a little know trick for smarter "self-talk" when you want to hype yourself up for better performance. We close the discussion by exploring Dan's latest research on regrets.
