As far as advisors, you will have many--they will be your "mentors". There are mentoring books out there as well as professional mentoring or coaching books out there.

Usually, professors that seem to support your endeavors will be your advisors and mentors.

As yes, you need an outlet. Please be strategic about it. Although you are in grad school for XYZ and you learn very particular material, it does not hurt to know somethings about a business plan or conceptual framework or writing proposals for areas outside your studied area.

For example I work in cardiovascular disease, but I also do alot of work with researchers who study breast cancer.
