About Mentor Buffet
Alexi Pappas's Mentor Buffet is a podcast about mentorship: Who influenced the people who influence us? Who helped them along their journey? Alexi is an Olympian, filmmaker, actress, and bestselling author, and she's leaned on mentors to help her level up faster than she could on her own. After losing her mom to suicide when she was four, she needed to find other people to lean on. Now, it's Alexi's turn to peel back the curtain on mentorship. In each episode of Mentor Buffet Alexi sits down with people who inspire her—athletes, entrepreneurs, creatives, and beyond—to have conversations about chasing dreams and befriending pain, through the lens of those who have shaped them into who they are today.

[…] Your whole life is an offering. And the most dangerous thing, I think, for a young kind of developing mind is to think there's one person that's going to answer all. It's almost dangerous. To be like a complete follower of – that can go into religion. It can go into a lot of things. It's like, oh, wow, you've just lost the thread completely of who you are. You're outsourcing your wisdom, right? I know. It's like, no, the combo is how you relate to all these ideas. So you learn from everybody. Yes. Everybody. And I was never a hangout in the coffee shop with my friend's guy. Because I never want to insult them. […]
