Comment on Reflections on founder mental health, coaching, a decade after losing my momparent

Just my point of view, but while the two roles overlap, it feels like there's a difference in how you work with them. A mentor is someone you can bring your problems to and they suggest paths forward, navigating challenges based on their experience. A coach looks at what you're doing and proactively suggests changes you may not have brought to them. The two complement each other but I don't think they're quite the same.
