This document outlines a three-phase approach to solving global problems based on the successful global effort to eradicate polio. The three phases are: 1) Start Throwing Stars (take action first), 2) Build Support and Momentum, and 3) End Game Strategy. It provides examples of how this approach was used to make tremendous progress in reducing polio cases worldwide from 400,000 cases per year in the 1980s to just 356 cases in 2015. If properly applied, this same three-phase approach could be used to make progress on other large-scale global issues like poverty, climate change, and more. The document encourages attendees to donate to end polio and continue the momentum toward the goal of eradicating

- A few of you may recall when in 1976, the Teton dam in Southeastern Idaho failed, damaging or destroying about 80 percent of the structures in the small town of Rexburg. Living then as I do now in Salt Lake City, my father invited me to join him and a volunteer group to Rexburg where we helped dig mud out of a basement and otherwise work to salvage a home. As an 11-year-old kid that was a lot of fun. The whole trip took about 24 hours, leaving about 2:00 AM, arriving at dawn, working all day, leaving at dark and returning after midnight. Now, I’m not a big guy. Picture me as an eleven-year-old standing next to a shovel—I wasn’t as tall as the handle and just lifting the empty shovel was a task for me. I’m sure I was of virtually no real help that day, but the experience has come to define my life. I felt so good helping people that day that I promised then I would never miss an opportunity to .serve. Of course, I have missed many opportunities to help. I was, perhaps, distracted by building a successful finance career, but ever since I was let go from my position as the CFO for a global food and beverage company three years I have focused on channeling the enthusiasm of my youth to do my part to make the world a better place.
- Visit to India in 2014
- Polio has been eradicated in India. The poverty, population, population density, insanitary conditions, etc. led many to believe India would be the last country on earth to do it, but the last case of polio was reported in January 2011 and the country has been polio free ever since.
- Loren Eisley’s story of a man who sees another man throwing starfish and other sea creatures back into the ocean after a storm, ponders what he sees, and returns the next day to join in the effort.
- In 1991, Ann Cotton heard that there were 7 boys for every girl in school in rural Zimbabwe so she went to find out why. She’d heard that it was because parents didn’t value girls’ education. What she found was something more fundamental. Girls didn’t go to school due to poverty. Parents couldn’t afford to send all of their children to school, so they chose the boys, who had better job prospects upon graduation. Ann figured that if she could pay for the girls to go to school, she could change their lives completely. She went back to England, held a bake sale, and raised the money to put 32 girls through school. Now almost 25 years later, she is responsible for having educated on the order of 1 million girls and now has the backing of the OECD, such that her organization is now helping over 1 million children per year in sub-Saharan Africa. She started by making and measuring progress by helping 32 girls.
- No bitter pill to swallow. What would you pay to have your sight restored? Everyone who doesn’t die of cancer remains a patient, a customer and a contributor to the global good for years or decades longer. By eliminating poverty we welcome 3 billion new consumers representing trillions of dollars of global economic growth the party we’ve been enjoying for generations. This doesn’t have to be painful; it can and should be fun and profitable.
- Envision a world without polio. No vaccinations. No polio corrective surgeries. No suffering from polio. None. Envision a world without blindness, where every living person can share in the joy of a sunrise and funny cat videos on YouTube. Envision a world where few people get cancer, where everyone who does is diagnosed early, and treated successfully. A world where no one dies from cancer. Envision a world without poverty, where everyone has food to eat, a quality primary and secondary education, and a legitimate opportunity to earn a living. Envision that world within 30 years. A world that you and your children are likely to see and enjoy. A world your grandchildren will take for granted. Ending polio will prove once and for all that when we humans combine our God-given talents to solve big world problems in time frames that are relevant to individuals, not just to the human race, there is virtually nothing we can’t do.
