What does a lunch with a mentor look like?

[Michael Goodman]

My name is Michael Goodman. I am a newbie to real estate investing in Indianapolis, IN. I have been reading, listening to podcast, driving neighborhoods in my farm area, and attending Meet Ups and REIA meetings. Asking for help and advice is foreign to me since I usually just roll up my sleeves and go with the trial and error method. I'm trying a different approach. I was able to get the attention of a person I admire with 23 years of experience and is at the top 5% of their region and set up a lunch.

This question is for the Mentors; what did the mentee do to impress or gain your attention to take them under your wing? What did they offer or what value did they bring to the table?

Thank you in advance for the response.
