  • Help, my daddy is a coach
    Dec 15 2025

    “Help, my daddy is a coach” – a conversation with Karl Mortier on The Golden Cage Podcast In this episode of The Golden Cage, host Bernard Moerman speaks with Karl Mortier about talent, mentorship and what truly makes people unique. We all have more than one talent. The real power lies not in being the best at one thing, but in understanding how the combination of your talents creates a unique advantage. Being average at several things can sometimes be your greatest strength. Karl shares why mentors play a crucial role in talent development, especially in moments when things don’t go as planned. A mentor doesn’t give answers, but helps you grow by asking the right questions. And often, the right mentor only appears when you are truly ready to receive honest feedback. A thoughtful conversation about growth, responsibility and becoming who you are meant to be.
