Ask HN: Who has been your top mentor?
I’m curious to find out who some of the top mentors out there are - for myself, up to this point, it has been my mother, who ran her own business for 16 years and went from homelessness to owning our family home.
I’m not picky - your mentor in life, tech, business, love - whomever has been your top mentor.
Thanks in advance for sharing :)
- pizza 8y agoA good piece of advice I got once was to make sure you have a solid network of 25 people with more experience than you who also believe in you, and to be sure to maintain that network over the years. I'm really not anywhere near reaching that yet, imo.. but it is a good guiding principle, I think.
- ricberw 8y agoWhew - 25 is quite a few. Who was your top mentor, though?
- pizza 8y agoMy parents provided a good foundation, and there have been a few stand-out teachers along the way who gave me opportunities I'm not sure I would have said I deserved. This is kind of a cop-out answer too but I think lifting weights has also provided a lot of clarity.
