Larry Chiang scandalously shows granular tid-bits in how to start as an entrepreneur. He edits the Bloomberg BusinessWeek channel “What They Don’t Teach You at Business School”. After Chiang’s Harvard Law keynote, Harvard Business wrote: “What They Don’t Teach You at Stanford Business School“ (it is the same title as his NY Times bestseller). If you read his scandalously awesome “What a Supermodel Can Teach a Stanford MBA” and “How to Get Man-Charm”, you will like his latest post:
How to Host an 11 Minute Tech Party

by Larry Chiang
1) Pick a CAT.
For example my CAT (Consumer Advocacy Truth is 11:11. 24 1s in a row is good credit)
2) Get a cool theme semi related to your CAT

3) Dont feel uber responsible for the first four to five people that roll into your party. Early birds figure it out and end up quasi co-hosting for you

4) Promote someone else before you promote yourself.

5) Execute Anchor Satellite maneuver.

6) Pick a venue across the hall, across the street or across the ballroom

7) Copy a kid: Google Justin Wilcox.

8) Polish up your hosting and co-hosting skills

9) Happy to talk via text if these video embeds weren’t enough for you.
