Press Room Hijinks: The Marketess Blocks Duck9’s Self-Promo Game

larry-chiang.jpg

This casual ad:tech SF press room convo takes place between Brent Terrazas of Everything’s Better with Brentter, Krista Neher of The Marketess and Larry Chiang.

Larry runs a company called Duck9, which helps college kids improve their FICO scores. He also explains the premise behind (read: plugs the living dickens out of) his BusinessWeek column, What They Don’t Teach You At Stanford Business School.

Krista, never one to resist an opp to antagonize, loudly observes Larry never actually went to business school.

Witness with awe how a (too) smooth operator eases out of that snagglety-snaggle.
