Show Notes

So, you want to reach out to someone who’s gone before you to ask for advice or learn more about their story.

Is there a better way to connect than asking to pick their brain?

On this episode of The Live Out Loud Show, I share three tips for reaching out to a potential mentor the RIGHT way.

I explain why you shouldn’t get emotionally attached to the outcome of asking for an exchange and how to make the conversation a win-win for both parties.

Listen in for insight on what to say instead of ‘pick your brain’ and learn how to be a blessing to someone you admire by going in prepared and ready to serve!
