Maintain two mentors at different stages: one about 18 months ahead for tactical advice, another several years ahead for perspective. Match their scale to yours—if you're at $2M revenue, find someone at $10M. Bad mentors cost you time.
But again, I really see negative ROI from a mediocre mentor. Right. So barely helpful. And then I'll give you the next barely helpful insight and then just try my best answer. I think you want two mentors. For most of the folks here, you want one mentor that's about 18 months ahead of you and one that's maybe four or five or further years. Right. The one that's for, like, if I. If we can get Henry from to be our mentor, that'd be great. And he has so many good lessons. But you heard him on stage today. Oh, it's early. Around 80 ML million. Okay. So most of us aren't there. That's not how we define early. So I would give a lot for Henry to be my mentor, but not my only mentor. Right. And then you need someone. If you're at 2 million, find someone at 10. So, but. But as a founder or exec, like, it's your job to hunt and find the best because they're always hard. Right? If you're at 10, find someone at 30. If you're at 30, find someone at 100.
