After Chiang’s Harvard Law keynote, Harvard Business wrote: “What They Don’t Teach You at Stanford Business School“ (its the same title as his NY Times bestseller.

Last year was a year of getting dashboards up and going for consumers to see a snap shots in a dashboard metric of personal wealth, expenses, revenue and the associated ratios. Well this year, I’m delving way behind the scenes and uncovering the lies told during networking sessions.
-1- I know Richard Fairbank. I went to the same business school.
-2- I have never taken out a pay-day loan
-3- I’m staying at the Four Seasons at the Ty Warnet suite.
-4- I know about them because I read the NetBanker blog via an RSS subscription that feeds into my iPad.
-5- See that VC over there… I got a term sheet from them.
-6- Oh, this phone is new and I don’t know my number… email me.
-7- I’m friends with Jim Bruene
-8- I’m not dee-runk. I really do know the ex-CFO of paypal that works at Sequoia.
-9- Yes, I took notes at all the presentations. I came to my vote for “Best-in-Show” by using a speadsheet my assistant put together
Good luck networking out there and have fun calling out these ‘lies’
