Larry Chiang scandalously reveals how stuff really works and breaks it down. He edits the Bloomberg BusinessWeek channel \u201cWhat They Don\u2019t Teach You at Business School\u201d. After Chiang\u2019s Harvard Law keynote, Harvard Business wrote: \u201cWhat They Don\u2019t Teach You at Stanford Business School<\/a>\u201c (its the same title as his NY Times bestseller). He is Entrepreneur in Residence at Stanford University. If you read his hilariously awesome \u201cWhat a Supermodel Can Teach a Stanford MBA<\/a>\u201d and \u201cHow to Get Man-Charm<\/a>\u201d, you will like his latest post:<\/p>\n

How Do You Hack Loyalty as a College Student<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

By Larry Chiang<\/p>\n

Loyalty is tremendously under-studied<\/p>\n

Me, I study random stuff and look to hack it. By hacking, I mean engineering how it works<\/p>\n

After reading this tweet, it got me to break down two insights…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Insights are below, but what are your thoughts after reading this snippet?<\/p>\n

My thinking is wow, after 30+ years, this guys still remembers his first break.<\/p>\n

If you’re looking for your first big break or next break… read on!<\/p>\n

Eff it, I just cried while writing this<\/p>\n

I just cried while writing this because I got major, MAJOR, major beaks from some random GIFT opportunity (cc Heaven’s Mark McCormack. Authored: “What They Don’t Teach at Harvard Business School”<\/p>\n

cc Tom Kosnik, Stanford Engineering Professor and author of “Delight”)<\/p>\n

Anyway, loyalty insights…<\/p>\n

-1- older people extrapolate younger people live longer than them.<\/p>\n

Older people’s legacy depends on getting remembered.<\/p>\n

For example, sell or promote something like Bobby Rivers. Other older people will say in their mind: i wish I were Melvin Van Peebles getting promoted by Bobby Rivers<\/p>\n

-2- show loyalty to something<\/p>\n

So many people in Hollywood, Silicon Valley and nyc Social Climb. Show and sell some loyalty to something.<\/p>\n

I was GIVEN a BMW by my neighbor because he sold it to me at 10k below his ask and 20+k below blue book. It was because I was uber loyal to a crappy Buick.<\/p>\n

I sell my mentor Mark McCormack and have given away many copies of “What They Don’t Teach at Harvard Business School”. It primes the loyalty pump. It gets other people to notice. It is good karma.<\/p>\n

This is me:<\/p>\n
