But the best part is that I crowd-sourced the question out to all my musician clients (+ friends like Tim Ferriss and some record label people) - and they all contributed their opinion on video. All these are linked in the post, too.
(I curated it, so the ones in the post there are the best of the best. At very least, click the "Big Kenny" one.)
It's very musician-centric, but maybe you'll find it useful.
Sorry, wasn't written for normal tldr blog consumption but so many people were telling me to blog it I wanted to share.
tldr version: calendar is fluid, RSVP to everything, every person is an opportunity, don't forget you're there to get leads, brand plays, take care of your team

No, a jaded opinion is branded jaded. Obviously I don't agree with your opinion, or I wouldn't have spent an hour writing an email to the 500 startups mentors and founders.
