$500k probably wouldn't get me dinner with Beyonce. But dinner with Jay-Z might. I'd go with Jay-Z. Also, I could on my own raise $500k for a startup. Dinner with Jay-Z, I would have the opportunity to raise significantly more.

> If I was able to have weekly meetings with Warren Buffet, Jamie Dimon, Tim Cook, and Elon Musk about "how to do business/grow a business I was in control of", how often do you think their ideas would be in alignment versus basically conflicting?

I wouldn't be able to estimate. Of the three I am aware of, they're all very different, so me personally, I would relish the commonalities, and the diversity of their viewpoints, allowing myself to select which ones resonate best with me.

> Could any of them combine and tell Steph Curry how to play whatever position he is today (magical mythical 3 point drainer)? If each of them had different attributes/style, what could they collectively come together to agree on/teach you on?

Steph Curry? Unsure. While not likely to help him with basketball fundamentals given he is already a superstar in his own right, but I could imagine they would be able to offer their viewpoints on rivalries/post career life/ etc.

> Can any of them teach you how to be a great center?

Great? No. But they would make better than I could be elsewhere. At the very least, it would give me some inspiration to emulate some of their habits.

> I would relish the commonalities

What commonalities might they have that you can't learn in business school?

"profit good, losses bad?"

You tell me, Muffin man.

relishing commonalities sounds great, but what does that mean specifically? How would getting all these people in a room help you learn anything? It seems like you’re engaging in the same kind of fluff the author is decrying.

I don't think any answer I provide is going to help your lack of imagination.

However, one of the things they teach you before meeting with an advisor is to have an agenda, and have an ask.

I'd start there, and see how things go.
