Depends on the field you’re looking for a mentor in. You need to attend in person conferences/luncheons/summits/trade shows, wherever your target audience is. Approach them, talk to them, take them out for a coffee or for lunch. You want a mentor you actually get along with and whose values align with yours. Once yall get to know each other, you’ll be able to depend on them for favors and advice and direction. I’ve never come across anyone outright asking for a mentor and it workout unless it’s a family friend
