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.

Enjoy this thought-provoking conversation between Carson Pue and Martin Sanders, two remarkable voices in the world of leadership and mentoring. They are delving into the importance of self-awareness—a quality they believe is absolutely crucial for effective leadership.

You see, when leaders are self-aware, they can understand their role better, empathize with others, and as a result, achieve better team results. It’s like having a mirror that not only reflects who you are but also how you impact those around you. Pretty powerful, right?

But here’s the kicker—Pue and Sanders pointed out that despite its importance, many leaders seem to lack this essential trait. It’s like trying to navigate a ship without a compass—you might get somewhere, but it probably won’t be where you intended to go.

So, what’s the takeaway here? If you’re in a leadership position (or aspire to be), take time to develop your self-awareness. Reflect on your actions, ask for feedback, and be open to growth. Because ultimately, understanding yourself is the first step to understanding others—and that’s what makes a leader truly great.

Isn’t it fascinating how a little introspection can lead to such profound change? We’d love to hear your thoughts on this!
