Ep248 - Good Mentor vs Bad Mentor - The Tony vs. Ray Factor

A good mentor is like a guiding light, illuminating the path
ahead with knowledge and experience. They help their mentees
grow, develop and reach their full potential.


On the other hand, a bad mentor usually lacks the proper
education and knowledge, which can skew their personal
experiences, rendering their advice useless. This leaves the
mentee feeling frustrated and lost.


When we compare the two mentors, one tends to provide conflicting
advice, which can confuse or even undermine their mentees'
confidence. While the other is based on science and common sense.
Every step forward should be a validation that they are on the
right path.
