#142: How to Find Mentors to Help You Level Up and Grow
b'Welcome to The Big Idea of the Week!\\nOn today\\u2019s Broken Brain Podcast, our host, Dhru Purohit talks to us about how to find mentors to help you level up and grow.\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nThink of someone you want to learn from, someone you respect, but don\\u2019t know. How do you show up on their radar? How do you get a bit of their time, council, and mentorship so you can grow?\\n\\xa0\\nThe thing about people who are up to big things is that they tend to have a lot on their plate. That includes having a lot of people, sometimes hundreds or thousands, all wanting something from them. Everywhere they go someone\\u2019s asking for their help, time, or resources.\\n\\xa0\\nYou could be a great person, a mini-Gandhi in the making, but if you approach them the same way that everyone else does, your voice will get lost in the crowd\\u2014the crowd of people who all \\u201cwant\\u201d something from them.\\n\\xa0\\nSo what\\u2019s the alternative?\\n\\xa0\\nDhru shares that every mentor he has ever wanted to meet and learn from has something they care about that isn\\u2019t getting much attention or could use some extra support. It could be a little passion project they started or a non-profit they really care about for example. Whatever it is, it\\u2019s something that could use a little help, but chances are, most people don\\u2019t know about it\\u2014it\\u2019s under the radar.\\n\\xa0\\nFind that thing that they care about and authentically support it. Not as a means to an end, but because it deserves it. Support it because you respect them and believe in the project. Support it because the project could use your help and your unique skill set.\\n\\xa0\\nEveryone wants, few are willing to give. But as Dhru\\u2019s friend Sean Stephenson says, \\u201cThe more you give, the more you live.\\u201d\\nFor more on Dhru Purohit, be sure to follow him on Instagram @dhrupurohit, on Facebook @dhruxpurohit, on Twitter @dhrupurohit, and on YouTube @dhrupurohit.
