Right now Barack Obama is one of the few people on earth who can phone absolutely anyone he pleases.

Imagine having all the Who’s Who on your contact list!

From a small business point of view, if you had an opportunity like this just for just one day, who would you call? Add your list in the comments.

Here’s my list (in no particular order):

1. Barack Obama’s marketing guy

2. Steve jobs

3. Oprah (this is a must for anyone in online retail)

4. Jacob Zuma (just for kicks)

5. Bill Gates

6. Jamie Oliver (the boy is a marketing genius!)

7. Richard Branson

8. Larry or Sergy (doesn’t matter which one)

9. Fred Roed

10. The Star Wars Kid (he did something right)

    I’m just stoked to be on a list with my man the Star Wars kid.

    I can’t believe Roed made your list. Up until then I had been impressive with your thought process. For me I’d like justification as to why he’s in your top 100 let alone top 10?

    @ Perky – Up and til now Roed has been avoiding all my calls (he owes me 50 bucks), I figured that if I had the opportunity to phone anyone, I may as well phone him and get my cash back.
