A short YouTube monologue (by David Jenyns) arguing that relying on mentors as shortcuts is overstated: early-career mistakes are acceptable and useful, and real progress requires a personal time commitment to learn and practice skills rather than expecting mentorship to replace hands-on experience.
I'm not a big mentor guy. I've always been a believer that if you really want to learn something and be great at something, you have to put in the time. A lot of people look for mentors as shortcuts, when in reality, maybe they help you a little bit, maybe they help you avoid some mistakes, but when you're just getting started out, in particular, it's okay to make those mistakes. And more importantly, you have to make the commitment to put in the time to learn what you need to learn to be great at something or good at what you want to be good at.
