From Free Guidance to Price Gouging: The Hypocrisy of Modern Mentoring

It's downright infuriating to see how mentoring and training have become overpriced commodities. There was a time when knowledge was freely shared, and those willing to learn had access to experienced mentors who genuinely wanted to help. But now? It's a cash grab. People are slapping outrageous price tags on courses and coaching sessions, making it seem like their wisdom is worth thousands of dollars. What happened to the days of genuine guidance and support?

It's as if everyone forgot how they got their start. Many of these so-called "experts" were once the beneficiaries of free training and mentorship themselves. They were given a leg up without being charged an arm and a leg. Now, they've turned around and created a barrier to entry so high that it's impossible for those just starting out to get the same opportunities. It's hypocritical, it's greedy, and it's completely out of touch with the spirit of community and growth that should be at the heart of mentoring. How can we expect new talent to flourish if we're more concerned with lining our pockets than lifting others up?
