The Art of Manliness

ANECDOTE

Mentorship's Ripple Effect

  • Brandon Warmke shares a story about mentoring a 15-year-old boy through Big Brothers Big Sisters.
  • The boy initially lacked basic social skills like shaking hands, making eye contact, and ordering at a restaurant.
  • Through mentorship, the boy learned these skills, potentially changing his life trajectory.
  • Warmke emphasizes that small acts of service can have significant, unforeseen impacts, countering the idea that one needs to make grand gestures to be helpful.
  • He felt guilty while writing his book, not "practicing what he preached," thus signed up as a mentor.
