Do you have any suggestions on how we can get the most from our mentors?

It's a fair question, and I'm sure you've already figured out that I am a huge believer

My whole life, I've collected mentors like others collect rare coins or beanie babies.

At every business that I've ever had, at every conference that I've ever attended, even

at restaurants where I frequent, as far as I'm concerned, there could be a mentor waiting

around every corner.
