Larry Chiang conjures up momentum like Bruce Li. He mastered how to get effed in deals and fail forward. He can even take critical mocking negative energy and parlay it into forward momentum. MIT’s 40 years of entrepreneur woes were solved by a 35 minute lunch keynote and 22 pieces of french toast. Across the river, Harvard’s Harbus,\u00a0 wrote, <\/strong>“What They Don’t Teach You At Stanford Business School<\/a>“. <\/strong>He refuses to put “NY Times best selling author” next to his name in bios and plods forward with his anti-marketing, marketing approach<\/strong>. His secrets about working the secret world of casting agents is Ga Ga Guaranteed to be an instant-classic.<\/strong><\/p>\n

********************
Here are some ways to leverage a reality show, open casting call
-1- Blog about your experiences. Expose a world. Let someone get mentored from your experience<\/p>\n

-2- Be helpful but don’t drop your boxer shorts at the first sign of a potential j-o-b, no matter how desperate you are. In this case Valerie was wanting a shirtless picture.<\/p>\n

Oh no, I am not Aaron Patzer like that. And you’re not my VC.
(Inside joke: Aaron, CEO of Mint, took off his shirt for Rob Coneybeer, VC @ Shasta and GP, to hold Aaron’s shirt while Aaron climbed a tree at SXSW)<\/p>\n

If you want a picture of me shirtless, you will have to PAY. Yes, I close deals via text message<\/a> and asked Valerie to “paypal me”…<\/p>\n

Which led to this Jan 9 email<\/p>\n

Let me know about Pay Pal information…<\/p>\n
