Larry Chiang wrote a 2009 sequel to three books his mentor wrote in the 80s. “What They Don’t Teach You At Stanford Business School” is a sequel to his mentor’s, Mark McCormack’s book, What They Don’t Teach You At Harvard Business School. What They Don’t Teach You At Harvard Business School helped Chiang start a company as an engineering major in Illini Tower where he was encouraged to try doing sales as a CS major via ‘Pop Up Internships’. Duck9 helps students get a FICO credit card credit score over 750. Prior to the NY Fashion week book launch party, Chiang did a Harvard Law School keynote summarized by Harvard Business School, “What They Don’t Teach You at Stanford Business School“. Yes, Harvard Law pokes at Harvard Business very often so Stanford Business is not off limits. “Lets win SXSW, this SXSW” is in Harbus right now.
