A mentoring journey that went from indifference to making a difference—watch the full story!

When Daniel (mentee) first met Benjamin (mentor), he had his doubts. Benjamin struck him as a bit of a nerd—he also didn't really want anyone else in his life having just come out of foster care. Daniel questioned how someone like Benjamin could guide him through life's complex challenges. But as their mentorship progressed, Daniel's perception drastically shifted.

Over time, he learned that Benjamin’s wisdom went far beyond academic knowledge. He absorbed lessons about relationships, work ethics, emotional intelligence, and self-care. Daniel realised he wasn’t just learning from Benjamin; he was growing into adulthood, and Benjamin was a crucial part of that journey.

From handling tough decisions to navigating life’s uncertainties, Daniel credits Benjamin with teaching him “every adult thing” he now knows. What started with doubt transformed into deep respect and dependence on his mentor's insights.

This short clip really shows the impact that Benjamin has had on not just Daniel's life but the whole family as he continues the mentoring journey with Daniels brother Johnny.
