This deeply moving final episode of The Mentored Podcast, Season One, explores the profound legacy of our co-host and mentor, Martin Sanders. Joining Carson in the studio is Martin’s son Bo, who carries forward much of his father’s wisdom, humour, and unshakable commitment to developing others. With his father Martin’s unexpected death in January 2024, the conversation is a heartfelt tribute and a powerful reflection on what it means to leave a lasting mark on those you love and lead.

Martin’s son Bo offers a glimpse into the man behind the mic — the father who instilled values, the mentor who shaped lives, and the leader whose influence transcended generations. He shares personal stories about their relationship, from moments that defined his path to leadership to the tender wisdom Martin imparted along the way. Listeners will hear about the resilience of someone’s legacy and the beautiful blend of grief, gratitude, and inspiration that comes with it. What does it mean for a leader’s lessons to live on after they’re gone? How do we honour those lessons in our daily decisions and relationships?

This episode powerfully reminds us that leadership isn’t about titles—it’s about impact. Martin Sanders understood this better than most, and his influence endures through his family, friends, and countless mentees. If you’ve been searching for clarity on how to live and lead in a meaningful way, this conversation will inspire you to rethink what true leadership looks like.

It’s a tribute, a conversation, and an invitation to reflect on your legacy. Don’t miss this special episode and the wrap-up of Season One of Mentored.

What does family mean to you? For years, we’ve stuck to a picture-perfect concept of family, but does that image serve us anymore? On this last episode for Season One of  Mentored Podcast, Carson and Martin look at family issues encountered when mentoring leaders and how you might be more like family to others.

Family issues can profoundly impact a leader’s decision-making, focus, and emotional well-being. Understanding this connection is crucial for mentors developing leaders. Let’s have a conversation to learn how to create an environment where leaders feel supported.

Carson and Martin will be tackling big questions like:

  • What if the family you’ve longed for could be built?
  • How can we get past those negative voices from our upbringing?
  • Is it okay for Christian leaders to admit their families aren’t picture-perfect? (Spoiler alert: Yes, it is.)
  • Why is it that people try to control their image and its impact on laughter.

Martin and Carson also share some personal stories—because, hey, even these two grandpas have had their moments with their families.

If you’ve felt the pressure to have it all together or wonder how to show up as “family” for others, this conversation is for you. Take a break, pour a coffee, and join us as we unpack the complexities of family, leadership, mentoring and authenticity.

🎧 Listen now—and share this episode with someone who needs to hear it.

Because family? It’s more than blood. It’s building connections that shape a better tomorrow. ❤️
