A catch phrase will go here soon.

I’ve been getting 20-30 speaking offers a month for the past couple of months and I have a really hard time saying no to these things. I think I’m averaging three month, which puts me on track for 30+ this year. I told myself (and my wife) I would do one a month, but it’s so hard for me to say no. Especially when it’s a student organization or a regional event like ConvergeSouth. Some of my best creative ideas come when I go to networking events, and some of the biggest business deals I’ve been involved with went down after meeting folks at these kind of events.

This weekend I’ve got back to back speaking gigs at UCLA and USC!

StartUpLA, UCLA
Fireside/Keynote Chat @ 5:25PM

USC Instittue on Entertainment Law and Business
Panel: How do you make money on the Internet? (right before Barry Diller–who’s always a riot/super smart/blunt/entertaining).

Anyone out there going to either event?

Hello, my name is Jason. Welcome to my blog on the interwebs. You can reach me on twitter @jason and by email at jason@calacanis.com. My Skype is jasoncalacanis, and my mobile phone is 310-456-4900.

I only pick up numbers I recognize, and in terms of emailing me, the best strategy is to write short, blunt and to the point requests. I can quickly respond to short messages, and many times I simply don't have the time to read five page pitches. In terms of taking meetings, I only do that after reviewing an actual product (not a business plan). So, the best time to ping me is when you have mockups or an alpha site. I don't read business plans, and I've never written one.
