What Makes Mentorship Work: Lessons from the Closers Inner Circle Podcast with Denise Griffitts and Ben Gay IIIMentorship is one of the most powerful forces in business and in life, but not every mentorship works. On today’s episode of The Closers Inner Circle Podcast, Denise Griffitts and Ben Gay III dive into what truly makes mentorship thrive—and why so many attempts fall short. At its core, a successful mentorship is built on trust, respect, and commitment from both sides. The mentor must be willing to invest time, wisdom, and accessibility, while the mentee must show accountability, humility, and a willingness to act. Without that balance, even the best intentions can collapse.We’ll explore the importance of chemistry and compatibility—how some mentor–mentee relationships click naturally, while others struggle despite the best credentials. Great mentorship isn’t about telling people what to do; it’s about listening, guiding, and sharing real-world experiences in a way that resonates. Ben brings decades of lived stories from the world of sales and leadership, showing how storytelling and careful listening become the glue that holds the relationship together.Finally, we’ll tackle the long game of mentorship. The best relationships often grow into lifelong connections, with lessons that ripple far beyond the individuals involved. And yes, we’ll also talk about what happens when mentorship fails—how to recognize the signs and why not every great leader makes a great mentor. Whether you’re seeking guidance or stepping into the role of guiding others, this conversation will give you the practical insights and inspiration to make mentorship truly work.And for listeners who want to dive deeper into Ben’s teachings, you don’t have to stop at the podcast. His entire catalog of books — including The Closers series and many other powerful works authored by him and select colleagues — is available directly through him. Every book arrives with free shipping and is personally signed by Ben Gay III. This makes each copy not only a resource but also a keepsake, carrying the legacy of one of the most respected voices in sales and mentorship.If you’re serious about learning from the best, I encourage you to explore his collection.

Shen Yun Conductor Ying Chen on 18 Years of Reviving China’s 5,000-Year Culture Through Music, Dance, and ResilienceMy guest today on Your Partner In Success Radio is Ying Chen, and her story reads like a symphony of courage, resilience, and unshakable faith.In 2006, she stood at the conductor’s podium as Shen Yun Performing Arts was born—not in the glitter of Broadway or the security of an established institution—but as an all-volunteer effort by first-generation immigrants determined to bring back 5,000 years of Chinese civilization nearly erased by communist rule. Against impossible odds, they transformed that vision into what is now the fastest-growing performing arts company in American history.But Ying’s journey goes far beyond the music. Her family in China endured detention and torture for holding to their beliefs. Instead of silencing her, those experiences gave her voice even more power. Today, through Shen Yun’s orchestra, she leads a sound that does more than entertain—it awakens memory, revives culture, and delivers a message of hope to audiences worldwide.Ying’s life reminds us that even in the face of tyranny, the human spirit cannot be crushed. It finds a way to rise, to create, and to inspire. And that is exactly what Shen Yun does every time the curtain goes up.Shen Yun Tickets & Show Info https://www.shenyun.com/SPONSORED BY: Today’s episode of Your Partner In Success Radio is brought to you courtesy of The Blaine Group.

I am your host Denise Griffitts and in this episode of The Closers Inner Circle Podcast, my cohost, legendary sales trainer Ben Gay III reflects on the timeless lessons he learned from his greatest mentors—wisdom that continues to guide his work and life to this day.  We are picking up from where we left off last week. There was just too much to talk about!From mastering the art of influence to understanding the psychology of human connection, Ben shares the strategies, stories, and turning points that shaped him into one of the most respected voices in sales. In my LinkedIn newsletter today, I hadn’t planned to write about Dr. Napoleon Hill and Chapter 6 — I actually had a completely different article queued up and ready to go. But after our conversation last week, it seemed only right to slightly shift gears.Ben mentioned that he feels the “tide is turning back” in America, pointing to ads and corporate behavior. He compared it to the backlash against New Coke, calling it a “Cracker Barrel lesson.” That connection to Coca-Cola made the timing of today’s article feel perfectly aligned.

He doesn’t just point it out, he gives you tools to recognize those patterns and replace them with habits that build clarity, confidence, and momentum. MindShifting isn’t theory—it’s a practical guide you can use every single day to stop the self-sabotage and start creating the life and success you want. You’ll find it on Amazon, and I encourage you to add it to your success library. We appreciate you tuning in to this episode of Your Partner In Success Radio with Host Denise Griffitts.

Your Leadership Legacy: LTC Oak McCulloch on Servant Leadership, Trust, and Building Leaders for TomorrowLieutenant Colonel (Retired) Oakland “Oak” McCulloch is back with us today, and I couldn’t be happier to welcome him back to Your Partner In Success Radio. Oak served our country for more than 23 years in the U.S. Army, holding leadership positions at every level—from training young recruits to commanding soldiers in the field and advising senior leaders. His career gave him not only a wealth of experience but also a deep belief in servant leadership: that leadership is never about you—it’s about the people you serve.Since retiring from the Army, Oak has carried that mission forward. He’s become a sought-after speaker and mentor, traveling across the country to teach leaders how to build trust, empower their teams, and leave a lasting impact. He captured these lessons in his book, 'Your Leadership Legacy: Becoming the Leader You Were Meant to Be', which blends personal stories with practical, timeless wisdom.What I appreciate most about Oak is how approachable he makes these lessons. He doesn’t just talk about leadership in theory—he shares the real, sometimes tough moments that shaped his perspective, and he does it with honesty, humor, and heart.Connect with Oakland McCulloch: Website | LinkedIn | Twitter | AmazonSPONSORED BY: Today’s episode of Your Partner In Success Radio is sponsored by Roberta Fernandez, an integrative emotional intelligence trainer and hypnotist, and the creator of the Conscious Napping® app.If your days ever feel overwhelming, this app is a powerful tool to help you reset.

They Liked It but Didn’t Buy? How to Diagnose and Fix a Stalled CloseWelcome back to The Closers Inner Circle Podcast. We are your hosts, Denise Griffitts and Ben Gay III, and today we’re tackling a situation every salesperson knows too well: the prospect loved your presentation, nodded along, said all the right things… and then didn’t buy.Why does that happen? Where did the close stall? And more importantly, what can you do to diagnose it and move from ‘I like it’ to ‘I’ll take it’?Ben and I are going to break down the most common reasons deals stall, how to uncover the real objections hiding under polite smiles, and practical steps you can take to turn interest into action. Because in sales, ‘liking it’ doesn’t pay the bills — closing does.If you’d like to go deeper into these conversations, grab your copies of The Closers Books 1 and 2 by Ben Gay III at Ronzone Books on eBay. They arrive with free shipping and are signed by Ben. These books are the foundation for everything we discuss here, and you can follow along with us each week as we break down the timeless lessons inside.SPONSORED BY: What’s Right with America! by Paul Johnson and Larry Aldrich.This is one of my favorite books—and an important one. It offers a refreshing break from the negativity that dominates today’s headlines. Johnson and Aldrich, leaders with deep experience in government, business, and media, don’t shy away from America’s flaws, but they refuse to let those flaws define us. Instead, they highlight the courage, innovation, generosity, and grit that have shaped this nation. Their message is a timely reminder that liberty, free enterprise, and democratic values have empowered generations of Americans to solve problems and create a brighter future.The book is available now on Amazon We appreciate you tuning in to this episode of Your Partner In Success Radio with Host Denise Griffitts.
