Trading Up – I’ve Got Three Green Pens – and Far Reaching Goals

You’ve probably heard the story of Kyle MacDonald who realized his dream of owning a home by trading up from one red paper clip.  He also gets to meet some interesting people along the way, including Alice Cooper and Corbin Bernsen.  Very inspiring.  I’m going to do something similar, only three times as big!

My goals for this project are to trade up for 1) College education for Jackie Kennedy 2) Feed 100 families for 5 years  3) International Travel for myself.

I’ve got three green pens (ballpoint) that I am going to be trading up for.  Want to be part of my story?  What do you have to trade for one green pen?  Email your offer to JoeConnector(at)Gmail.com Those offering to trade must be open to being part of the story and having photos and videos of them used on the internet.

Please spread the love and let your social networks know about this project.  Thank you for your help!

    My first recent offer (I still have a few old ones to respond to) was from Amanda who wants to trade one ten inch green candle still wrapped in plastic. I do appreciate Amanda’s offer – do you think I should trade her one of my pens?
