Jayson, in similar situations, I have reached out to colleagues in other disciplines. As a result, I have learned considerable amounts about general business, visual design, marketing, sales, and so on. I have been able to apply the bits and pieces of knowledge into my own UX practice. I have to think, too, that by engaging with others outside of my chosen field, they have learned a bit about UX, as well. I also agree with the other poster - you'd be amazed what you can learn by mentoring others, too. I have found that in mentoring others, my own convictions become even stronger.
