What are the benefits of being a mentor?

A lot of advice is given about finding a mentor. But what are the benefits of BEING a mentor? (Other than the "feel good" of doing someone a favor.)

I asked Bill Lindquist, Brandon Mahoney and Stewart Wiggins their experience with having and being mentors. I'm not confident that we came up with a solid answer to the original question.

What do you think? Does being a mentor have benefits?
