Great writeup! I especially like your point of not prescribing because the landscape changes so fast, as it's very true. Would love to see your thoughts on the lessons from game UX design for product designers next!

Totes agree! Very good advice here. One thing I try to emphasize to mentees, or when I approach people to ask about peer mentorship, is that the exchange of value is not unidirectional. Personally, I’m not too fond of the mentorship model of one person Knowing All the Things and the other person being but a humble sponge. I always learn a lot from the people I mentor, and I want them to know that!! I also find that asking people to do peer mentoring can be less intimidating than regular mentoring, because it’s not just like “please do me this massive favor” it can be more like “hey let’s grow together.” And I figure you KNOW all this stuff already!! Great newsletter!!!
