Really resonating with your perspective on authentic mentorship emerging from genuine connections rather than transactional relationships. Your point about mentorship requiring mutual respect and capability alignment particularly stands out - it reflects what I've seen implementing mentorship programs where the most sustainable relationships develop when both parties can grow from the exchange. The evolution of your relationship with Bill beautifully illustrates how powerful these organic mentorship connections can be.

For some informal mentoring, I have found an avenue with having a few discussions with our yearly interns. It is interesting to learn what schools are teaching, or not teaching, but more importantly help give insights to importance of the data. Many interns have their eyes on building cool web and mobile apps. Trying to plant a think data first seed.

PS - Interesting listen on your Friday Podcast - Bill Inmon - Data Warehousing Facts and Myths - Definitely some stuff to unpack living through that era - from a Inmon/Kimball methodology perspective - on what is an "Data Warehouse".
