In this episode I unpack why I'm no longer interested in learning from people who have solved the problem I am looking to solve. I firmly believe the marketing of "I've been there, done that" is old paradigm and tired – it doesn't work because when we "arrive" we no longer have no momentum invested in that problem. So the very idea of bringing others along for the ride is backwards; counter-momentum if you will. Our best approach is to find and attract people who are in the mud with us. Desperately seeking and actively working to solve the same problem. I see a collapse of hierarchical mentorship and a rise in peer-to-peer (or copactivation) mentorship. A new approach to transformation grounded in shared curiosity rather than saviorism.
🐝 The Nuggets:
“What if your magic is that you're in the mud with people—not ahead of them, not behind them, but right there too?”
“The best people to support you are the ones who are currently experiencing the same problem in a different context.”
“When someone’s already solved the problem, they’ve closed the loop. There’s no hunger left—and hunger is what makes us move.”
“New paradigm transformation has no hierarchy. No one’s ahead, no one’s behind—we’re just in different orbs, solving different pieces.”
“The more you accept your current sphere, the faster you meet the people who belong there too—and then everything starts to change.”
