You need multiple mentors, not one. Build a personal board of directors with trusted people who each bring specific expertise. These relationships grow through shared work and trust, not formal requests, though both formal and informal networks can work together.
Nobody that I really met with monthly or had that formal mentor title. But what I do have is a handful of people that I can call about specific things. I think I've heard it referred to as like your own personal board of directors where I need help with a career move. That's a certain person. If it's something in industry or something else, that's a different person. So I think that whole concept of mentorship can be widened. And I think that whether it's a formal mentor or those kind of personal board of director relationships, it's one of those things where it's not like you go to some to somebody and say, will you be my mentor? It really comes out of like growing the relationship together where, you know, you kind of earn that ability to be able to ask them for things by investing in the relationship, getting to know them. You know that you guys might have synergies. You maybe have worked together and it could start as early as like, hey, can I get advice on this? So I think the term is broader. Glenn, I know that you mentor so many people formally, right? I'd be curious as to— I can see my answer.
