The Closers Inner Circle Podcast with Denise Griffitts and Ben Gay III - What a Great Mentorship Looks Like

A mentor is not your manager, your accountability partner, or the person responsible for your success. If you’re expecting someone to build your career for you, you’re going to be disappointed. Mentorship doesn’t work that way. It’s not about being carried. It’s about being guided.

This is where most people get it wrong. If you want a mentor to invest in you, you have to give them a reason. Show up prepared. Take action on what they tell you. Don’t ask the same question twice, and respect their time. And just as important, bring value back. Even if you’re new, you can bring effort, energy, and a fresh perspective. Mentorship is not a one-way street.

On the other side, a good mentor isn’t just there to encourage you. They’re there to tell you the truth, even when it’s uncomfortable. They set clear boundaries, they don’t overextend themselves, and they teach you how to think, not just what to do. A real mentor helps you become independent, not dependent.

Most mentorships don’t actually end, they just fade out. Usually because there’s no follow-through, expectations were never made clear, or one person is doing all the work. Access without action is wasted opportunity, and that’s where a lot of these relationships quietly fall apart.

A strong mentorship is built on mutual respect, consistency, and real growth. Over time, something shifts. It starts to feel less like a mentor and mentee relationship and more like a conversation between peers. That’s when you know it’s working.

If you’re looking for a mentor, don’t just ask who can help you. Ask yourself if you are someone a great mentor would want to invest in. Because they are out there. But they choose people who show up, do the work, and take it seriously.

Achieve Bigger Goals by Changing the Odds of Success with Kyle Austin Young

Kyle Austin Young is an award-winning strategy consultant — and he works with high achievers, entrepreneurs, and leaders across just about every industry you can think of. Over the years, he's developed a system — a real, practical system — for helping people accomplish the goals that actually mean something to them. And it all comes down to understanding your odds of success and knowing how to change them.

His insights have shown up in some pretty impressive places — Harvard Business Review, Fast Company, Forbes, CNBC, Psychology Today, The Boston Globe, and Business Insider. So this is not someone who just talks a good game. He's also the author of 'Success Is a Numbers Game' — and I have this book sitting right here on my desk as we speak. 

And when he's not consulting, writing, or spending time with his family — you'll find him out fishing. Which, if you think about it, might be the perfect hobby for someone who thinks a lot about patience, strategy, and playing the long game."

SPONSORED BY: Today’s show is brought to you by Bradley Rausch. Most founders obsess over the funnel and ignore the first 72 hours after someone pays. But those first 72 hours in the program are where churn, refunds, and weak referrals are born. Bradley works with founder-led coaching and consulting businesses to redesign those first 72 hours and the systems that follow, so clients stay longer, refer more, and growth feels lighter instead of heavier. See how at bradleyrausch.com.

Sales Infiltration: The Most Powerful Sales Principle You’re Not Using with Denise Griffitts and Ben Gay III

Today on The Closers Inner Circle Podcast, we’re digging into the concept of Sales Infiltration—what it really is, how it differs from traditional sales approaches, and why Ben has called it the best sales work he’s ever written.

We’ll also explore the mindset of the master closer: what separates top performers from typical salespeople, how understanding human behavior plays a critical role in effective infiltration, and whether this skill can be learned—or if it’s something only innate to the best in the business.

Ben Gay III has called this the best sales work he’s ever written—and after decades of experience, countless deals, and a lifetime in the art and science of selling, it truly stands above the rest. This is a very important conversation for anyone serious about sales. To get the most out of it, we encourage you to follow along with The Closers books, Pts 1 and 2, available on eBay at Ronzone Books—signed and dated by Ben himself.
