The Power of Reverse Mentorship

Everyone talks about the importance of mentoring younger professionals.
However, few seem to talk about learning from them.

I believe reverse mentorship is one of the most powerful tools for 4th Quarter professionals:
You bring wisdom, they bring speed.
You bring judgment, they bring experimentation.
You bring pattern recognition, they bring new patterns.

It’s a two-way advantage.

If you’re thinking about starting something in your 50s or 60s, this is the missing piece:
Pair your experience with someone who sees the game differently.

That tension creates innovation.

Don’t hide from the next generation.
Partner with them.
You can write the next chapter for both of you.
