In this brief monologue, the speaker argues that the single most powerful tactic for entrepreneurs to achieve massive growth is to focus on serving a specific community. By catering to a niche group, that community can amplify the product to broader audiences. The speaker illustrates this principle with the example of Crocs, which were originally designed for the boating and sailing community; that initial community helped spread the shoes to the mass market. The talk concludes with a humorous aside claiming that Crocs act as a “prophylactic” because wearing them supposedly prevents sexual activity.

There is one thing that entrepreneurs consistently do that results in colossal growth, and this is what it is. They cater to a community, a specific community. Because when you cater to a community, that community will carry you to larger audiences. Case in point is the crock. The croc was designed for the boating community, for sailors, and it's that community that carried the crock onto everyone. In fact, you may own a croc today. There's been study around prophylactics, and they identified the croc is the most effective prophylactic of all time. Because if you're wearing a croc, you're never getting laid.
