Here's some common sense: if you're the CEO of a startup, you should be focused on your own company. Period.
This might come off as overly harsh, but it's absolutely true: taking 45-plus minutes out of your day to engage in an "argumentative" call with "the brother of a friend" who has a "world-changing idea" is a waste of time. As is blogging about it.
Your job as CEO is not to advise other entrepreneurs or to preach the startup gospel; it's to steer your own ship.
