Want to grow faster than 99% of the people you meet? Learn from everyone. In this episode of 10-Minute Masterclass, Trey Sheneman shares a game-changing mindset he picked up while working with leadership coach Brendon Burchard: be a "maverick with mentors." Trey breaks down how adopting a posture of humble curiosity and intentional generosity accelerates your growth, expands your influence, and keeps you grounded in any leadership season.

Key Takeaways

  • Most people chase the perfect mentor—instead, become someone who learns from everyone.
  • Trey’s leadership framework: Mavericks with Mentors.
    • Humble Curiosity – Ask more questions than you give answers.
    • Intentional Generosity – Mentor others, share what you’ve learned.
  • Three ways to apply this mindset:
    • Value curiosity over certainty—junior team members have powerful insights.
    • Turn your ego off and your ears on—growth starts with listening.
    • Give to grow—teach what you’ve learned to reinforce your own mastery.
  • The three types of mentorship: direct, indirect, and situational.
