Most mentors fail because mentees pick the wrong ones. You need someone whose actual experience matches your specific goals, not just someone famous or well-connected. A bad match wastes both people's time.
all the time. I think there's so much confusion in the market with this. And at the end of the day, look, the problem is most of the mentors suck, and that's not their problem because they probably have good intentions. I think the problem sometimes is, is oneself really trying to figure out like what it is that, that you need. And what I mean by this is that, look, mentors can be extremely helpful, but ultimately there has to be the right mentor for you. I think it's very important to learn from someone that you want to be like, you know, someone that you look up to that truly has experience in what you want to get better at. And, and sometimes people tend to kind of compromise and go for something that is not as optimal, or they end up just taking the direction of paying someone because it looks good on paper. So it's important to have mentorship, I'm a big believer, but I've also seen this model go wrong more than well.
