Quest · Side quest · for parents

Find your dream mentor.

Describe the person you wish your kid could learn from. We go find them. A Harvard math PhD. A game designer. Someone who finishes things. Say who, and what you'd pay an hour.

A subject, a quality to develop, a kind of person. Anything goes.
