The book "Mastery" by Robert Greene does a deep dive into mentorship, including the process of finding mentors. I highly recommend it. I won't attempt to summarize it all, but one of the strategies outlined in the book involves building a relationship over time by making yourself useful to the person who you want to be mentored by.

Many of the most high-powered people aren't going to have time to just mentor people out of generosity, so I wouldn't rely on the kind of advice that involves hoping that you'll get a reply from a cold call request for mentorship. Make yourself useful to that person, save them time and they'll mentor you in order to keep you around.

But I recommend reading the book itself to get a better idea of how this works.
