The word mentor has been watered down to just mean people that you want to look up to and emulate.  To me, a mentor relationship is a two way street and unless you are having personal interactions with your &#8220;mentor&#8221; on a regular basis, you&#8217;re doing it wrong.<\/p>\n<p>To top it off, when looking to find potential mentors, we may be barking up the wrong tree in terms of finding what we really need.  I don&#8217;t spend any time talking about <strong><em>why<\/em><\/strong> you need a mentor, because I felt that everyone knows why they need to have their own Yoda or Mr. Miyagi.<\/p>\n<p>You can also subscribe to the podcast at any of these places:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/the-pete-on-software-podcast\/id789451013?mt=2&amp;ign-mpt=uo%3D4\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.peteonsoftware.com\/images\/Podcast\/iTunes.png\" style=\"border:none;\" alt=\"iTunes Link\" title=\"iTunes Link\"><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peteonsoftware.com\/pospfiles\/posp.xml\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.peteonsoftware.com\/images\/Podcast\/Rss.png\" style=\"border:none;\" alt=\"RSS Feed\" title=\"RSS Feed\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Thanks to all the people who listen, and a special thanks to those who have rated me.
