The Talk
When most people think of mentorship, they picture structured office environments or a quick sit-down over coffee. But real growth is rarely that clean.
Drawing from front-line railroad experience, this talk explores how true mastery is passed down through hands-on guidance and occasionally learning what not to do the hard way. Through two unforgettable stories from the tracks, one of operational triumph and another of a wild mishap that left a rookie blue in the face, we will break down why mentorship is an indispensable two-way street, how even messy failures yield massive returns, and why the effort is always worth it.
