    I don’t mentor anybody. I am not smarter than anybody and frankly I am always learning from everybody, at all levels of experience.

      I can recommend looking into “science days” and stuff like that. It makes you a lot more hopeful for the future to see a lot of curious, open-minded 12-year olds.

      And then they likely become the usual cynic adults, but hey, you tried.

      Never claimed to be smarter than anyone, but if you’re experienced then people look up to you. A little bit of encouragement can go a long way. Like my story, all I did was nudge her to negotiate, and she felt the confidence to do so.
