Before finding a mentor, I feel it's essential to really find your own calling and passion. From my experience, this will become a guiding bond in this kind of relationship. Be curious and engaged - and push yourself actively. Be as good as you can at what you love to do, and you will certainly get a mentor's attention.

I always wish I had a road map for how to navigate my life as a parent and a producer, but in truth, it's a lot of trial and error.
