Second, I often hear how easy it is to find a mentor and it seems like I am striking out for unknown reasons. I have changed my ask (beta testing it against those who respond to the first question - advice oriented) but not the ask itself.

Lastly, I interviewed with Google for a PM role and let nerves get the best of me.

P.S. Things I have done outside of looking for a mentor:

Readings: 1. Cracking the PM Interview 2. Cracking the Coding Interview 3. Many other PM books

Learnings: 1. Advanced Project Management Certificate Stanford University 2. Various online PM courses (Coursera, UDacity, Edx) 3. General Assembly PM course

Experience: 1. 10 years leading teams designing and building products at the bottom of the pyramid. 2. Founded a "hard tech" company and was part of the Impact Engine in Chicago. 3. Various other companies and side projects around Product Management. 4. I also teach UI / UX as DesignLab.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated (purposefully not specific to solicit a broad range of responses).

Thanks!
