Larry Chiang premiered a book via a blog post a year and a half before 09/09/09 The sequel to his mentor’s tome, “What They Don’t Teach You At Stanford Business School” grand opened on the New York Times best seller the same day the book was released on a NY Fashion Week runway. By prerolling and pre-promoting excerpts from the book at Sundance and SXSW film festivals, nine months and six months, respectively, Hollywood optioning “WTDTYASBS” seemed as inevitable as gravity. People forgive the audacity because boastfulness is coupled with “Mentor mentions per press interview” (#MMPPI) His mentors, Gerri Detweiler and Mark McCormack (yes, Gerri Detweiler of “Ultimate Credit Handbook” fame and Mark McCormack of, “What They Don’t Teach You at Harvard Business School” fame) are promoted at nearly every media interview. Play using a long forgotten technology tool: The hashtag,#PObox105281; #CS178 like a Jedi welds her light sabre.
“New York Fashion Week (#NYFW) is packed with underage female supermodels with uber high FICO scores because I networked with them at Westin hotel.” — Larry Chiang |
