The author argues that today’s entrepreneurs should prioritize mentors over traditional business coaches, emphasizing lived experience and shared values. Drawing on a 30‑year career—from IBM’s Next Gen Program to a six‑figure mentorship investment—the piece illustrates how mission‑driven mentorship delivered seven‑figure product launches.
