How Mentorship Transforms: Five Men by Dave Schmit (North Fulton Business Radio, Episode 884)

What happens when you reflect on the people who shaped your character, not just your career?

Dave Schmit, principal of Schmit + Associates and author of Five Men: The Transformative Power of Mentorship, joins host John Ray for a moving conversation about the mentors who changed his life. From his father and a high school baseball coach to a faith leader who walked with him through unimaginable grief, Dave shares how each man left a lasting imprint. Their influence continues to guide his work, his family, and his approach to leadership.

This episode is not about business tips. It is about legacy. It is about the quiet power of showing up for someone else. Dave’s book is an invitation to reflect on the mentors in your own life and the person you could become for someone who needs you.

John Ray is the host of North Fulton Business Radio. The show is produced by John Ray and North Fulton Business Radio, LLC, an affiliate of Business RadioX®, and is recorded inside Renasant Bank in Alpharetta.

Key Takeaways from this Episode

Mentorship is built over time: Dave’s mentors spanned decades and shaped every part of his life—vocational, personal, and spiritual.
Mentors speak hard truths: The most meaningful guidance often comes in the form of tough love, delivered with care.
Mentorship vs. coaching: Unlike coaching, true mentorship is grounded in long-term relationships and mutual respect.
Anyone can be a mentor: teachers, bosses, priests, parents; many roles can become mentoring relationships when trust and consistency are present.
Mentorship can heal division: Dave and his book’s preface writer, Egbert Perry, highlight how mentorship fosters understanding in a divided world.

Jordan O’Halloran lives in beautiful lake county California and is constantly intrigued by nature.

O’Halloran always had dreams of being a writer as a child, but inevitably chose careers of direct service. Now, while finding her voice and purpose, she has made her way back to the written word. Jordan is the self published writer of her first novel, ‘CLEAN UP ON ISLE THREE’ which is a young adult thriller that explores the inner world of main character, Lucy McBride.
