possible mentors i can think of:
international head of my company - mr. d... think he is brilliant and grounded. it takes enormous strength of character to remain on earth while really you can let it all get to your head.
strange can't think of anyone else...
i enormously enjoy tough people who have the fucking guts to be who they are and say it as is... then there are the pretenders. some are absolutely brilliant. but it's possible to defeat them at their own game. that's assuming they need to be defeated.
