How to Build a Personal Board of Advisors for Your Career

Lucas and Luna dive into the concept of a personal board of advisors—a small group of trusted people who give you candid career advice, unlike a formal mentor. Lucas shares the story of a marketing director who assembled a board of five: a peer, a former boss, a senior exec from another industry, a recruiter, and a friend outside work. They discuss how to choose members, set meeting cadences, and avoid common pitfalls like asking for advice instead of perspective. Luna pushes back on whether this replaces a manager, and they explore how a board can help with big decisions like job changes or salary negotiations.
