I'll have a call with Mike Milken. What should I ask him?

I wrote a simple short letter to him, telling him how much I looked up to him and for some reason he was willing to talk to me. I have not written anything outstanding about myself at all, in fact I am from the third world.

Mike Milken is a genius. Talk to him to keep him interested in your path. He is highly connected and would be a great connection to have. Focus less on what you want to learn from him and focus more on developing a future relationship with him and keeping in touch. One day he might be able to pull the strings for you in a certain area through his connections. Aka schmooze him.
