In this powerful episode, Gavin sits down with Dr. Eric McFee, Superintendent of Grady County Schools, to unpack why mentorship isn’t just helpful — it’s essential. With over 35 years of experience in education, Dr. McFee shares his personal journey, the impact of mentors in his life, and how mentorship shows up in both leadership and everyday interactions.

From defining what true mentorship looks like, to exploring ego, humility, and the lens through which we experience life, Gavin and Dr. McFee discuss how mentorship can be a game-changer — whether you’re a student, a leader, or someone simply trying to do life well. They talk about the different types of mentors (some lifelong, some seasonal), the value of listening over advising, and how being mentored and mentoring others is a two-way street.

Whether you’re seeking guidance, offering it, or just trying to figure out what mentorship can look like in your world, this episode is packed with insight, practical wisdom, and inspiration to pursue growth through meaningful relationships.
