What No One Tells You About Mentorship

What is a mentor… really?

In this episode of You Don’t Know Jack, Dr. Haley Perlus and Dr. Jack Groppel break down what mentorship actually looks like beyond the buzzword.

But this conversation is different.

This podcast is built on a real mentor–mentee relationship. Jack is the mentor. Haley is the mentee. Every episode is a live, unfiltered exchange of perspective, experience, and growth from both sides of that relationship – something you don’t typically hear.

This isn’t a conversation about mentorship. It’s mentorship happening in real time.

In this episode, we talk about:

  • What a mentor is (and what it is not)
  • The real responsibilities of both mentor and mentee
  • How to find and approach the right mentor
  • How to build a relationship that actually works
  • Why mentorship can accelerate your growth in sport, business, and life

This isn’t about waiting for someone to guide you. It’s about learning how to engage, ask better questions, and take ownership of your development.

Because the right mentorship doesn’t just give you answers.
It changes how you think.
