In a conference setting, the speaker challenges the audience to contact Bill Gates, then mobilizes the crowd to achieve it. Within 15 minutes, a chain of personal connections—starting from a neighbor’s cousin who knows a secretary to Bill Gates—secures a phone call with Gates, who briefly wishes the conference well. The live success convinces attendees that, with a clear purpose and collective effort, no individual is truly unreachable, underscoring the power of networking and rapid crowd‑sourced problem solving.

We're only a couple phone calls away from anyone. I put this challenge out to the audience: who do we want to contact? The time, uh, Bill Gates was the richest person in the world and probably the hardest person to get in touch with. So I said, okay, before this conference is over, we're gonna get Bill Gates on the line. All of a sudden I had a notch in my throat and I'm like, what did I just commit to? But then I said, let's swarm this, let's figure out how we can solve this problem together. This would prove to all of us that there's no one in this world that would be impossible to get a hold of. Ultimately, one of the people in the crowd had a neighbor that had a cousin that was friends with the lady that was one of Bill Bill Gates' secretaries, and this happened within 15 minutes. We were able to get Bill Gates on the line. Wow. We put him on the phone in front of everybody, and he's like, well, I hope you have a good conference. These people are now believers that they can connect with anyone in the world if they really have a reason.
