In the latest episode of the “Mentorship Matters with Dave & Liz” podcast, Liz and I speak about the difficult topic of losing a mentor. As with most of our relationships with others, we do not really think about the time when someone is no longer going to be in our lives, so we often don’t take the time to prepare for that possibility. But it is still possible to draw inspiration and mentorship from those we have lost, and in many ways that is a great way to keep their memory going. During the podcast, I discuss the sudden loss of my friend and mentor, Marty Dunn, who passed away six years ago this month. Check out this 31-minute podcast to hear:

– What it’s like to lose a mentor.
– How to continue to draw inspiration and guidance from a mentor even if you are no longer regularly in touch.
– The value of maintaining multiple mentor relationships.
– How Marty’s passing changed Dave’s perspective on mentorship.
– Lessons from Marty that Dave continues to carry forward, and the benefits of continuing a mentor’s legacy.
– What Dave would like people to remember most about Marty.

Thank you to everyone who has been listening to the podcast. If you have a topic that you think we should cover or guest who you think would be great for the podcast, feel free to contact Liz or me by LinkedIn or email.
