You Don’t Need A Mentor -> Focus On THIS Instead
About This Episode
Sam Parr and Shaan Puri discuss the critical role of 'believers'—people who see potential in you before you see it in yourself—rather than traditional mentors or advisors. They share personal stories of how figures like Scott Belsky, Tim Ferriss, and Michael Birch provided the psychological fuel and identity-defining labels that jumpstarted their successful careers.

Key Takeaways
Seek out 'believers' who see you as a blue-chip stock when you are still a penny stock, as their irrational confidence can bridge the gap until your own evidence catches up.
Cultivate a 'high bias for action' by immediately and aggressively executing on advice and closing the loop with the advisor to build elite-level professional relationships.
Identify and adopt positive professional labels provided by high-achievers, such as being a 'steward' or having 'high energy,' to use as a compass for your future growth and behavior.
