Took me 10 years but I found two in my life.

I randomly found one in his only appearance at a ruby meetup, giving a presentation that changed my life, opened me to the community where I met a now dear friend who also became my mentor.

I wish I had a suggestion, it seems like it just happened randomly, even though I was searching for ages.

It wasn't random. You went to conferences and introduced yourself to someone who gave a presentation that impacted you.

I guess, my point in "random" is that I searched for years and then it happened on a conference where I wasn't really looking for one (although the conference was indeed very interesting)
