SPEAK LIKE A CEO

217: How to Get Bill Gates to Speak at Your Conference. Jörg Rheinboldt


Listen Later

When investor and entrepreneur Jörg Rheinboldt was a student, he managed to convince Bill Gates to speak at a student conference in Germany. 

Jörg was bored of “just studying”, and joined a student organization putting together conferences. They called Microsoft, and asked if Bill Gates would be interested to speak. 

Of course, it wasn’t that simple. But sometimes you just have to dare to make the call!

This is a Moment from episode 25, one of our most popular episodes ever. 

Jörg Rheinboldt is General Partner at HEARTFELT_
