So there are two ways people look at me, Crazy & Sharp.

Half the people I meet think I'm a crackpot, I come off slightly arrogant, over-generalize, make bold statements of fact based on opinion (my mom says i like being over dramatic and i suppose its true) and sometimes am just plain wrong - and i often cross the line by saying or doing things that other people only think and won't admit. Yes, I can be uncouth. I also can't be an ass if you are trying to sell my on something (don't care what it is) I don't patience for long sales pitches. If you want my help, you have 30 seconds before my ADD kicks in. If you want to space out and bullshit, sure, i can listen for hours, but if you are asking for my help, get to the point. I also hate long demos. I want a quick demo and an explanation of how it works and a document with supporting technical information to study if i like what I saw. That's it. Simple. I am the ass that will ask questions to invalidate a presentation in a public forum because I don't like seeing people getting away with bullshit. With that said, I'm also the guy that will scream "that's fucking amazing", offer a free marketing strategy and make 5 tier 1 introductions if i like it. I'm one extreme or the other.

As a result, I come off a bit nuts. And I am, i am a self described crazy entrepreneur. If you an entrepreneur and not crazy or at least had one very hard breakup or divorce as a result of you spacing out, hyper focusing and neglecting your loved ones, then i will over-generalize and say you aren't a real entrepreneur. Let's be honest, we've got to be crazy to take the risks we take.

The people that like me, value my advice and introductions and know that i only make solid introductions (or give a disclaimer with the intro) and I mean come on, how many other people have you met ever that without asking gave 5 introductions that can help your business and maybe even make a friend? Not many. I do though. So while i am a cartoon (richhecker.com) and come off crazy, i'm the not the best person to write off.

I used to try to hide my zany side but lately i've let it come out in full bloom. For better or worse, I'm just me.

How many people do you know admit they are crazy in a public form :) ?

Who are you?
