Awesome as always Reena. I was recently asked by someone starting a company “would you be my mentor?” I responded by saying that I would be delighted to spend time getting to know him and sharing whatever I could to assist him in his work and would ask the same in return. We could talk as frequently as needed without a “scheduled 1:1” and overtime we could decide what to call our relationship, assuming it needed a label…whether he elects me to his personal BOD (and I love that concept…) only time will tell but that is far from my objective for all the reasons your thoughtful post articulates.
This post got some creative energies flowing and potential names for this substack came to mind: the Pande Perspective, Reena’s Rounds, or Pulse on Prosperity (who doesn’t love a good alliteration!)
