If you could be mentored by anyone, dead or alive, who would you choose?

We all have someone we look up to and wish we could have a conversation with, even if it's just a brief one. Who would you pick to be your mentor if you could choose anyone, dead or alive?

Bugs Bunny. He always came out on top and nothing fazed him. 😉

Really interesting question, probably the Italian designer Bruno Munari - such a genius!

@jason_andries1 , haha, I guessed it. The same here. I go with whatever that's better. It could be from the best of the best or even our peers for that matter. :)

Lenoardo DaVinci - his mentorship would span things like tapping into natural curiosity to medical science to engineering cities and how to put on the best theater shows

@sheehab_muhammad Maan, I opened the discussion just to comment that I would choose Muhammad (PBUH). What a life that would be :)

I am genuinely loving Sahil Bloom and his thought pieces. Or Bob Iger - his outlook and business acumen is out of this world

@james_hallahan isn't it too much influencer style? ;D
Share
James Hallahan
@milappert just need to take the actual insights without the “influence” - if that makes sense 😂 That’s what I do anyway. Some of his thoughts, tips, frameworks are great - clearly a deep thinker

Michael Scheiwiller
@james_hallahan some true words. I just do not like all this self promotion/influencer like postings. The problem is, i realised i got somewhere there as well... Obviously you get there if you want to market your product. And if the product is yourself, then well... :D

Call me crazy but Steve Jobs. More importantly, because I share his deeper work and creator beliefs that I've come to this world as a global solution provider. A bit egoistical, I used to think. Not so more anymore. :)

@emmyjo Who in tech could not have liked his feedback?! :D Not crazy at all!

@jason_andries1 Marcus Aurelius, the grandmaster of Stoics, a true leader and an example to follow on how to live life! Lemmy, the hard rock Pirate, the epitome of full speed or nothing! \m/

@ikiok I love that you said Marcus Aurelius, because same. Funnily enough his son Commodus seems to be the exact opposite, even though he actually had him as a mentor.🤔
