23M Making $120k. How to gain experience?

Pretty much the title. I’m making $120k/yr in my day job but I want to pivot into buying my own business. The funding isn’t the issue, it’s learning how to source deals and run a business.

This is something I’ve been passionate about for over 5 years, and I’ve done some research myself through YouTube and reading books like the “HBR Guide to Buying a Small Business”. But I feel like the only way to get true experience is to immerse myself within actual businesses/acquisitions. What’s the best way to find a mentor or learn from actual business owners?

I’m in a brand new city for work, and naturally free time is tight with the new job. But I do have an hour or so per weekday and more time on weekends. I know this is my ultimate goal in my career, and the sooner I can get exposure, the better. Thank you and I appreciate any input!

360 Market Square vs 220 Meridian

I have seen some posts on both these places from 1+ year(s) ago and I’m deciding which to live in. Both seemed great when I toured (but very expensive). Curious to hear thoughts from people that live in either.

One thing that I don’t like about 220 Meridian is the bedrooms not having any windows in the available units. I also saw reviews saying you don’t control your own thermostat. Hoping that isn’t the case anymore but I’d love to hear any reviews from someone that lives there now.
