How to go from a nobody to a somebody

a) When someone asks you what you do, answer concisely. “Hello, I’m Jason Calacanis … I’m an angel investor and I like to write the first check for founders with a crazy idea.” I actually say it like that all the time.

Self serving - and the second one of these I've seen from this author in as many days. Where I come from this would be an off the Island moment.

did you read the actual piece? It's far from self-serving... it's basically a road map of how to hack social media and silicon valley to become really well known. It's working for a lot of folks and I'm giving the playbook away for free.... since it worked for me :-)

... because I wrote it for folks that want to get ahead. Did you read the piece yet?

takes the bait
