During #1024, a "Success stories" section was added as a draft.

We need to fill that content.

This will help with growing the mentorship programs by attracting more mentors.

I know @bradmccoydev was showing interest previously: @bradmccoydev

Maybe @bwplotka too?

We can even create a blogpost for cncf.io afterwards.

@Srishtihere would you be interested in conducting such a survey and writing the success story?
We should first create a Google doc with possible questions, interview format and the success story format though.

Happy to help!

yes I would be very happy to contribute and survey for the same

If a person with good knowledge about mentoring to interview the awesome mentors we have, it would be great!
