  1. This isn't what happened at all. "Stole" is not only a strong word, it's a fabrication. I'm not sure if you misunderstood or are deliberately mischaracterizing what happened. I'll assume the former. I wrote a letter in a legal argument format to the Admissions Committee. They let me in for a future year of law school, not the current class. Nobody had to leave school because I was admitted (of course). Nobody else was more entitled to that spot simply because of their scores. That's not how admissions works. Scores are one element, soft skills and experiences another. I did not have a 'connection' to the admissions committee, nor was any phone call made other than to offer me a place in the class. I would also argue soft skills, especially when it comes to being admitted to law school > hard skills ANY day of the week. Soft skills and deficiency in that area is actually why I was asked to speak at Google in the first place. :)

  4. Shame on us for learning, pivoting and becoming highly successful. We should have just sat around and complained on YouTube. Clearly that's a more productive path! /s

  7. You're missing the point, but I think it's probably an oversight as opposed to deliberate. You're assuming here that the person doing the connecting isn't as qualified. That's a big assumption, and one that people often make as an excuse to not have to do the connecting, but to assume that since you're keeping your head down, or are skilled, that you deserve the position. You're also assuming that a connector has no value in the network itself. I covered this in the talk, as the network alone has value. In fact, it's MORE valuable than mere skill, as your technical skills are often replaceable, whereas networks largely are unique to the individual. You'd be well-served to rethink your assumptions when it comes to this. Thanks for watching.

  14.  @finfan7  Disagree. The network itself IS a feature. Human trust is not replaceable (right now). This isn't simply a transfer of information. You're also assuming networks are formed by personality, not skill. This is also false, as demonstrated by the talk itself. So, while you might be right about efficiency, etc, you're mistaken/wrong about the greater concept at play here. Thanks for watching! -Jordan.
