There is a great entrepreneurial divide in California colleges.<\/p>\n
I wanted to call this article: ‘Making Poor Kids Richer Too’. You see I am guilty of making rich kids richer. I am an EIR at Stanford University. What that role catalyzes me to do is to stimulate and excite pre-entrepreneurial thoughts.<\/p>\n
California has a limited amount of the precious resource called ‘Larry Chiang’. It is incredibly valuable and scarce. It also only prevalent at MIT and Stanford University.<\/p>\n
That is changing.<\/p>\n
I am now an EIR at University of California. Which one?! UCLA? UCsF<\/p>\n
All of them<\/p>\n
Yes, even Stanford’s arch nemesis Cal Berkeley. (which is silly)<\/p>\n
You see my having such a mega role here at Stanford is a series of Forest Gump like events. 11 cray cray inflection points*. Those 11 coupled with the fact that Stanford has a gravitational pull ( my house is in Atherton and my dorm room is in Palo Alto ). I have five residences as reported to the IRS.<\/p>\n
These 11 inflection points coupled with the guilt of picking a different school over Stanford. Stanford heavily, heavily recruited me to play baseball and study engineering. (SOURCE: phone records to Naperville house 708-983-xxxx, invites to camps, two Chinese parents mad as hell about phone calls. and same baseball coach here at Stanford). I did go to a higher ranked engineering undergrad school and at that same highly ranked ENGR school play for the college baseball living legend coach Augie Garrido. # 1 in baseball collegiate wins. True story.<\/p>\n
REPORTS THAT AUGIE GARRIDO CAME TO MY SCHOOL TO COACH ME AS A 6’3″ 220 Sporting News Top 50 player are inaccurate. It was COINCIDENCE that he left Cal State Fullerton to come to University of Illinois Urbana Champaign.<\/p>\n
I’m bridging the great entrepreneur education divide by – agreeing to be EIR system wife Err system wide at University of California. – removing the copyright for required book and blog readings for ENGR 145. It’s the class I teach at Stanford. This way UC schools can have my book and my blog posts. The other ENGR 145 textbooks are under $200\/per and well worth over $10k in knowledge<\/p>\n
If u don’t have the money for the books, text me and I’ll lend u the money via the LCRRM<\/p>\n
You see, SXSW ranked me #1 in entrepreneur education. I am a natural resource that shouldn’t be just bottled up here at Stanford.<\/p>\n
NO THIS DOESN’T INCLUDE THE TECH CONFERENCES ME + 22 OFFER THAT ONLY STANFORD KIDS GET.<\/p>\n
