I have seen the faces of reverse mentoring. They are different colors and shapes and sizes and they are all awesome.
I love them in all of their happily determined, purposeful, “Why not?” caution-to-the-wind-ness.
They are out to do things that generations ago would’ve taken meetings and rallies and marches. Now it takes an idea and passion (and lots of friends and followers).
And the coolest thing of all is, they’re doing it because of something they feel deep inside. Not because IPO’s or WSJ hedcut portraits are beckoning. They have deep conviction that what they’re doing is right, and that alone could explain their success. Their incredibly hard work and perseverance doesn’t hurt.
My reverse mentors are born entrepreneurs. They act first and think later, then act again then think some more. Then they do, do, and do some more.
They do a lot of doing.
And the stuff they do is amazing.
Someday soon, when I get younger, I’m going to be like them.
