About Panel
Leveraging Social Media.
I am focusing this on, "What They Don't Teach You At Business School". We have all heard the basics but we want to get next generation strategies. My panel will lead-off with three awesome rounds with nuggets of knowledge from each social media "EXPERT". Good nuggets will be rewarded with praise and moderator adoration. Bad, boring nuggets will be recognized by being beaned by three week old Halloween candy. Audience participation is required and yes, one audience member may get promoted to panelist. Tweet your thoughts @larrychiang and who knows... you just might crash my panel.

Larry Chiang, Speaker, Author
Hi there, I am Larry Chiang-I had friends who were in credit card difficulty and decided to do something about it. I started collecting deep underground credit knowledge (duck) into a controversial site: www.Duck9.com. It breaks-down the mysterious FICO score and graduates people with a FICO in the 90th percentile. SECRET: The key is to make the first 24 interactions with the FICO grid PERFECT ... email me and I'll send you the 101 secrets/tips or you can explore the secrets yourself by clicking on the ducks butt at duck9.
I wrote the NY Times bestseller: "What They Don't Teach You At Stanford Business School". Its a book about sales, entrepreneurship and character compassing people. My mentor, Mark McCormack wrote, "What They Don't Teach You At Stanford Business School"
My writing centers around mentorship: whether you're building a business or improving your credit score, it is easier to do with a mentor. One of my proudest achievements was to testify in Congress on behalf of the financial services industry. Congressman Tom Campbell also wrote the foreword for my last book, "Internet Marketing Secrets" that I co-edited with Gerri Detweiler. I try to hide the fact that I am old - thank goodness I am Chinese cuz my wrinkles aren't here yet. When I crash campus gyms to play basketball, I lace my hair with mucho product so people don't see my grey hair. In addition to playing basketball, I love to write, coach entrepreneurs, and sneak into dorm cafeterias. Invite me to your house for dinner and I'll entertain with stories of credit ... my email is chiang9@duck9.com
