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?

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
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!
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
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
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. :)
Giannis Kiokpas
Marcus Aurelius and Lemmy Kilmister

@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! :))

Can we choose a fictional character too ?;-) Someone like Professor Dumbledore mentoring Harry Potter.
Sunny Kumar
Nikola Tesla
Igor Lysenko
I never thought because there are so many wonderful people in the world, and I think I could not choose specifically. Too big option.

Albert Einstein, Narayana Murthy, Steve Jobs or Jeff Bezos.

Prophet Mohammed, peace be upon him. Went from orphan to shepherd to general and Caliph... Quite impressive.
Charlie Mack
Great question. My first thought was to say Socrates, but then I thought he is kind of a dick. George Carlin. Then I would not only learn a lot but have a hilarious time doing so.

@rainbows_glitter sound like my kinda guy no 🧢 bro be chilling and inventing atomic weapons on the side
Of course the master Leonardo Da Vinci
John Diaz
I think probably Steve Jobs.
Rudy Azhari
Wonderful project, this project is very good and this projector has a lot of attractions, so hopefully the project will be better in the future and the cryptocurrency will be the best.
Gonzalo Alfaro
Steve Jobs, Alexander the Great and Benjamin Franklin.

Freddie Mercury. I feel he could teach you a thing or two about many things 😀

Mahatma Gandhi. Gandhi was an influential leader and philosopher who played a crucial role in India's struggle for independence and advocated for non-violent resistance. His teachings on peace, justice, and equality continue to inspire people around the world. Learning from his wisdom and understanding his approach to social change would be invaluable.
