This video led me to reflect on the relationship with some people I
started connecting with since I decided switching carreers into UX
Design. Great point you make about asking specific questions or for a
concrete advice.

My fav mentor is books. I tried to read at least 3 UX/UI or any other design related books per year. Some of those books are not even design related. "Deep Work" by Cal Newport was a profound book I read 4 years ago. I was very much inspired by it which prompted me to quit most of my social network accounts(FB, TW, INST). I never looked back. The time I've gained on doing more meaningful things is priceless.

I don't have a mentor but I did get a great deal of help from someone higher up in my industry. I found her in the credits of a movie I liked, emailed her some questions, and she offered to call me. I emailed lots of people my questions, but she was the most responsive. Years later I thanked her for her help and she offered me a portfolio review. You don't always need someone to help you every day
