in 2019 I was musing out loud toying with the idea of mentoring, and it felt like even before I finished the sentence I had 3 of my friends shoot up in front of me going "wait, are you serious? because I was wondering if it was possible to ask you to do that for a WHILE now"

so I took them on as an experiment -- which apparently worked out, because the more I worked with them the more I kept being told "you have no idea how good you are at this, for what we're getting this is a STEAL."

so I started opening up spots for it publicly, and got more people interested, also to great feedback. I kept thinking "eventually I'll run out of clients/interested people" but here in 2024, it's still ongoing decently, so there's that.

It could be there's an end of the road to this, but for right now I'm glad that I can be a good teacher to so many.
