Ryan Clark maintains that young professionals should not fear or avoid established legends in their field, as these figures are valuable resources for learning.

“that's what I think a lot of uh a lot of young players players on one side comedians on the other side that's what they don't to do don't don't run away from the OG right that [ __ ] is a Hall of Fame you know what I'm saying like why would you not tap into him”

Channing Crowder advocates for proactively seeking help and advice from experienced professionals in one's field.

“I don't think a lot of ball players comedians whatever your craft is I don't think people ask enough questions”

Experienced players have a responsibility to act as mentors by leading by example and guiding younger athletes.

“The kids they actually have to see you see how you carry yourself you got to be extremely transparent you know and for me i'm always i'm chill i'm laid-back a lot of that other [ __ ] is unnecessary”

Mentors should be individuals who have achieved success in their field and are willing to provide objective feedback and accountability.

“having that mentor somebody who is older has more experience has some knowledge and has wisdom and when you can sit down with them okay here's where I am here's here's what's going on here's why it's feeling this way I feel like I want to go this direction not sure you're able to be totally vulnerab”

A high level of career success is best celebrated at the end by mentoring others and fostering the development of the next generation.

“And I think there's no higher celebration to be had at the end of one's career. If you can look back and be like, "Hey, I put some really important knowledge into the world. People made use of that knowledge." And guess what? You spawned all these other scientific offspring”

Mentorship is a form of fatherhood that provides deep meaning by helping others reach their potential.

“we also talked a lot about the pleasure of mentorship which is a form of fatherhood I would say and the fact that people men particularly in relationship to fatherhood have a vested interest and instinctual tilt towards developing the best in other people”

Younger generations require fathers and mothers to provide encouragement and support in order to fulfill their calling.

“I feel like for our generation, if you're someone older watching and listening to this, like we need more fathers and mothers coming behind our generation so that we can feel empowered and encouraged to walk out the call that God has had on our life.”

Effective mentorship for boys and men requires a safe space that offers both discipline and love, allowing them to process emotions rather than reinforcing their internal wars.

“They didn't need more discipline. They needed more love. And I shifted the model to more of like a safe space. still pushing them, still giving them the fire they need, but yet giving them the opportunity to share what's heavy on their hearts.”

A father figure is necessary for a young boy to learn how to be a man because a mother cannot fulfill that role alone.

“Most definitely, man. Cuz the mom ain't she can't do it alone. The women can't do it. One thing about it, a woman can't show a little boy how to be a man. It's going to take another man to do that.”
