Although I don’t think social change is for everyone, I do think you need the following ingredients in place before anything can happen:
- Some “thing” worth getting behind (e.g. the song in the video is worth dancing to),
- At least one incredibly confident individual willing to go it alone (e.g. “Dancing Man” from the video),
- At least one or more people ready to stand behind ‘the leader’ and show the crowd, “Hey, this is good, come on!” (e.g. the first two guys to join Dancing Man).

So, the next time you’re thinking of instigating or supporting some type of social change – whether it be big change like starting an industry trend or small change in your school or workplace – be sure you have the necessary ingredients.
You’ll be “unstoppable.”
And you’ll have people like the woman at the very end of the video asking, “How did he do that?”
