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?

Jeff Davis
Bugs Bunny. He always came out on top and nothing fazed him. 😉
Nicola Vargiu
Really interesting question, probably the Italian designer Bruno Munari - such a genius!
Gonzalo Alfaro
Steve Jobs, Alexander the Great and Benjamin Franklin.
Gonzalo Alfaro
I would also add Jacques Demolay ⚔️
Mehmet Çetin
Fatih Sultan Mehmet
So many to list. Just curious. What's your choice? :)
@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. :)
John Diaz
I think probably Steve Jobs.
Bud Broesky
me in 30 years

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
Sunny Kumar
Nikola Tesla
Sheehab Muhammad
Muhammad(PBUH), Nikola Tesla, and Steve Jobs
Kiura
@sheehab_muhammad Maan, I opened the discussion just to comment that I would choose Muhammad (PBUH). What a life that would be :)
Jannat Patel
@sheehab_muhammad Muhammed (PBUH) would be my choice too.
Abhisekh Kumar Sahoo
For me it could be very obvious choice Steve jobs and Peter theil

@milappert Thanks Michael!
Michael Scheiwiller
@edens that is a cool idea as well! :D
Eden Shopen
@jason_andries1 Amazing! Thank you Jason!
Sakshi Gahlawat
David Ogilvy and Steve Jobs
James Hallahan
I am genuinely loving Sahil Bloom and his thought pieces. Or Bob Iger - his outlook and business acumen is out of this world
Michael Scheiwiller
@james_hallahan isn't it too much influencer style? ;D
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
Emmanuel Nwosu
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. :)
Michael Scheiwiller
@emmyjo Who in tech could not have liked his feedback?! :D Not crazy at all!
Emmanuel Nwosu
@milappert Exactly! He was just brilliant!
Giannis Kiokpas
Marcus Aurelius and Lemmy Kilmister
Giannis Kiokpas
@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/
Sophia Büttgen
@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.🤔
Giannis Kiokpas
@sophia_buttgen oh well, just one bad example of the apple falling far away from the tree! :))
Michael Scheiwiller
This is a cool question! :D Actually i haven't thought about before... But i would enroll in Time-Travel Bootcamp with Ada Lovelace! She'll debug your code faster than you can say 'Analytical Engine' ;D
Renat Abyasov
It may be corny, but this is Steve Jobs. This person knows exactly how to create a brand
