Larry Chiang yearns to be like R2D2 where most others want to be a Jedi Knight. He reads and regurgitates the best just like R2D2. He edits the Bloomberg BusinessWeek channel \u201cWhat They Don\u2019t Teach You at Business School\u201d. After Chiang\u2019s recyled Harvard Law keynote, Harvard Business wrote: \u201cWhat They Don\u2019t Teach You at Stanford Business School<\/a>\u201c (it is a smilar title as his NY Times bestseller and his mentors NYT Bestseller). He used R2D2 like qualities to become Entrepreneur in Residence at Stanford University. If you read his hilariously awesome \u201cWhat a Supermodel Can Teach a Stanford MBA<\/a>\u201d, Enroll in Stanford Engineering 145<\/a> and \u201cHow to Get Man-Charm<\/a>\u201d, you will like his latest post. Skip buying the book and see all 14 chapters of his book on video<\/a>.<\/p>\n

By Larry Chiang<\/p>\n

It is true. I sold cars at Village Pontiac in the summer while I was in Engineering School before I graduated with honors. Selling cars helped me get the record highest starting salary working at a Fortune 100 (Nalco Chemical) as a chem sales engineer.<\/p>\n

Just like my high school athletic records, I KNOW that record still stands. Its cuz I check it a lot. Seriously.<\/p>\n

Yeah I was #1 sales guy at both Nalco and Village.<\/p>\n

Yeah, I am a high school athletic hero, college zero.<\/p>\n

Do *not* think I am great. I just read and applied a really good book: What They Don\u2019t Teach You at Harvard Business School. It was written by my mentor, Mark McCormack. He is a genius. Skip my NY Times Bestseller and go right to McCormack\u2019s.<\/p>\n

I also applied my baseball coach, Augie Garrido\u2019s, teachings (from the bench) and used them at work. His theory is mapped out in Ch11 of my book. Skip buying the book and watch the video: https:\/\/youtube.com\/larrychiang<\/a>. Google him. He is Texas awesome.<\/p>\n

Right now, I take those mentor morsels that I was taught and regurgitate them at Palo Alto\u2019s Community\u2019s College (PACC). In the engineering program. You may know of PACC by its legal name Leland Stanford Jr University \":)\"<\/p>\n

Be nice and I will let you sit in on my class.<\/p>\n

What I am saying is that I am gonna stay doing what I have always done. I am gonna stay CEO of Duck9<\/p>\n

When I was in engineering school and made the baseball team, became officer at my fraternity, signed on to work at the school paper, started a credit card credit company out of my dorm room…, no one asked me if I was still in engineering school. No one.<\/p>\n
