Meh. I’ll do the dinner and have 2 proposals for existing ventures ready to present to him
You eventually reach a point in life where merit based income growth is capped and you only get business by referral. It's the difference between pursuing a 200k job, and seeking multiple 200k contracts within a year.Like what?

There are specific algorithms you run to get in contact with chief legal council or a director of [xyz department] at a ABC megacorp. The most basic ones are the three touch model at confrences, trade shows, and continuuing education events.
At its core, 3touch involves ...
- Touch1: an initial meeting as an introduction at event1(but no selling attempt), first time target meets you
- a few cordial emails for a few months inbetween,
- Touch 2: "accidental" meeting at a different industry event with the same guy. This time you mention what you do, but still dont offer any services. The goal is to be a regular fixture and appear well known with the other bussiness contacts in the room
- Next a few targeted emails inbetween. This time you offer free value at the intersection of your profession and the target's profession. Even better if you give them a referral.
- Touch 3: You are now a regular fixture to the target and you meet at a 3rd industry event where you simply ask for a refferal as a warm introduction to somebody higher up in the Target organization. Alternatively you can afford to pitch your services directly to the target at this point.
But 3 touch is a very low level networking algorithm. There are better ones that allow you to systematically be a warm fixture to the entire leadership team at an organization, before you ever pitch your business to them. This effectively guarantees your contract.
How does this relate to Jay?The higher up a person is in society; the more high-value deals they have made, meaning that they have better algorithms. And in the case of somebody like Jay who is black, they will have a great idea of who in multiple organizations is a receptive Target vs who is hostile based on race. the significance of Jay specifically is that he is not the only rich rapper, but he is only one of four who can consistently get these kind of deals.
This is information that is literally worth hundreds of thousands at McKenzie and Company. McKenzie or Deloitte would typically use their Network to give you a few hours of time with people who are at this level. But it would cost you an arm and a leg.
To think this is what Beyonce has to look at during dinner every night. Money truly is an aphrodisiac.Dinner with Jay-Z
