Paul was very kind and easy to talk to, and I appreciate the time I spent with him. After two sessions, though, I realized he wasn't quite the right fit for what I was looking for in a mentor. I felt that a lot of the advice centered around needing to give up many other commitments, which I understand can be necessary at times. However, I didn't feel like my personal situation or the specific challenges I was facing were fully understood. I left feeling that my concerns weren't really being heard, so I don't think it was the right match for me. I can definitely see how his approach could work well for others—it just wasn't the best fit for my needs.
