Internet Mentors. noun; “an advisor or teacher that has no personal relationship with the mentee.”
The world is flooded with information. Books, podcasts, the internet, etc. People face an unprecedented amount of content. Most of it is garbage (in my opinion) however; this phenomena has its benefits. Notably, every day people have access to more remarkable, non-mainstream, thinkers.
Over the years, I developed a list of my favorite “creators.” People that have resonated and taught me the most. I call these people my “internet mentors.” A list that includes; Tim Ferriss, Ryan Holiday, and Seth Godin.
Why are these the favorites? Two reasons.
First, they are passionately curious and experts in questions. Second, they foster engaging conversations with interesting people.

The result? I grow my knowledge across a range of topics, but I also expand my list of “internet mentors.”
A recent example of this “expansion” is Rich Roll. I heard about Rich on a podcast episode with Tim Ferriss.
Rich has a one-of-a-kind life. My words couldn’t do it justice, but his transformative story had a profound impact. He overcame serious addiction to unlock his physical potential and achieve spiritual fulfillment.
Rich’s openness to reveal his personal scars is a model of true courage. It inspires me to share more about my inner self and energizes me to test my own limits. In short, I am grateful for Rich (and people like him). His story leads to my benefit.
He recently released a “docu-short” about his life. Take the 15-minutes to watch. You won’t regret it.
