My Mentor is Shirtless : WhatTheyDontTeachYouAtStanfordBusinessSchool

By Larry Chiang

Pattern recognize that I study mentorship in a method and magnitude that is unmatched.

After I recognized Mark McCormack’s pattern via a book, I pattern replicated great results.

Here is something Fu Fu Funny

Larry Chiang ✰ (@LarryChiang) 6/6/12 8:53 AM Aaron Patzer. mimicking. Mentorship. Shirtless. Degrees of following

First you observe it Then you test it Then you get great results Then you thank your mentor Maybe you later teach it

This is exactly what I did first with Mark McCormack.

Back to Aaron Patzer… A live action case study of this is taking off your shirt. I founded “Live Action Business Case Studies at Stanford Engineering”. It’s one of 11 franchised I co-founded at Stanford University. I am founding EIR there. EIR is Entrepreneur In Residence.

First, Aaron Patzer took off his shirt at SXSW. Its a super cool tech conference to launch at in Austin Texas. It also has celebs swirling because there is sxsw film and sxsw music.

Aaron Patzer’s Facebook profile pic. Shirtless.

After observing for a long long long while…

I warily went to STEP TWO: I tested being shirtless myself at Yoga.

GAWD THE RESULTS WERE AMAZING!!!

Next, I’ll be shirtless at the Guardsman Bachelor Auction. June 21.

Keys to this ‘Stanford Engineering Live Action Case Study’

– Just mimic and play while you’re learning

– Don’t go above and beyond. Your mentor recommends going shirtless. Don’t be too enthused and go pants-less at Opal Financial Group Public Funds Summit East, Venture Alpha or ‘Larry Chiang Startup Academy’.

– Doh, GET A MENTOR!
