How to Find a Mentor When Your Industry Is Shrinking

Episode 43 of The Career Mentor Podcast tackles a tough scenario: what to do when your industry is contracting and traditional mentors are scarce. Lucas and Luna explore concrete strategies, from looking for mentors in adjacent growing sectors to seeking 'negative mentors' — learning what you don't want from leaders who stayed too long. They also discuss how to leverage professional associations and alumni networks that may still be active. Central example: a former newspaper journalist who pivoted to tech by finding mentors in media-adjacent roles. No fluff, just actionable advice for career reinvention when your field is fading. #CareerMentorPodcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #CareerAdvice #Mentorship #Sponsorship #IndustryShrinkage #CareerPivot #AdjacentIndustry #NegativeMentor #ProfessionalAssociations #AlumniNetworks #Journalism #TechPivot #CareerReinvention #Networking #JobSearch #CareerChange Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
