Description

Asking for help isn’t a weakness; it’s one of the fastest ways to get where you want to go.

When did we start believing that real leaders don’t need guidance? Dr. Andrew Fix takes a closer look at a recent Toyota campaign featuring Damian Lillard and unpacks the message that mentorship somehow conflicts with leadership. He doesn’t buy it, and explains why that mindset holds people back.

In this episode, Dr. Fix makes the case for mentorship as a key part of growth, not a detour from it. Even the most elite performers have coaches. So why do so many people hesitate to ask for help?

Whether you’re chasing a health goal, navigating your career, or trying to level up in any part of life, this is a reminder that seeking guidance isn’t a sign you’re falling behind. It’s a smart move toward getting where you actually want to go.

Quotes

• “One of the most efficient ways to help us get to where we want to go is to seek the mentorship and guidance of those that are already in the place that we want to be.” (05:34 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
• “It is okay to ask for help. In fact, I’m sure Damian Lillard or anyone else like that is in a very successful situation… I’m sure they would say, yes, it’s okay to ask for help. You should ask for help.” (06:42 | Dr. Andrew Fix) 
• “What that doesn’t mean is that you should expect other people to do things for you… They can’t help you if you’re not willing and wanting to be helped.” (07:00 | Dr. Andrew Fix) 
• “Even coaches need coaches. And any really good one is going to tell you that, right?” (08:00 | Dr. Andrew Fix) 
• “Don’t be so stubborn and so hardheaded to say, ‘I need to forge my own path.’ Sometimes that just means it takes you longer to get where you could’ve gone faster—with help.” (09:29 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
