I have met some very high paid consultants who doesnt look smart at all(smartly dressed, if any); Knowing stuff and being able to do something useful with it (AND sell it) looks pretty smart to me. :)

What i wanted to know more about is (and i do now thanks to you): what does someone can sell, what does a business needs so bad that it reaches an outsider and pays him to get. Also interesting, your take on the "consulting ladder", when i

Very dense, the kind of book that a book geek writes. When i read The DaVinci Code years later, it feeled like a very decaffeinated (really "de-lots of things") version of Foucaults Pendulum. It also feels like it spawned this sort of genre

When my little girl was about 8 months old, she got her first baby doll (she only had fur animals) and her reaction was impresive: she hughed it, kissed it and nursed it. I used to think we're born a blank slate until I saw that.

I get to him by his Silicon Valley histories, and read ALL of his blog in a couple of days. Besides him being a great storyteller, he has something valuable to tell, even if its not your field.
