I traded the matchstick with Nikki for an ordinary green ballpoint pen. And that pen I traded with Megan for a toy frog. We called him Rodrigus Rana, or Rod for short. Then I got offers for the frog that included a doll that raised funds for AIDS orphans, some books, and an optical mouse with 5 CD’s…
- Who did I trade Rod the Frog with?
- And for what?
@telanasimpson Now I had Rod the #Frog. What would you have traded with me for the frog? I swapped him with Retha for trade number 3 in #onematchstick ♬ original sound – Telana Simpson | Courage Coach
I chose the books, and traded with Retha at the opening of her Wellness Centre in Johannesburg. Retha was a good sport, and allowed Rod the Frog to go on many adventures.
And the books were great for startup businesses and entrepreneurs. They were “The Mentor” by Jack Carew, and “Fire & Ice” by Mike Lipkin and Reg Lascaris about their business experience in South Africa.
I actually got to meet Reg Lascaris in 2014 at a Heavy Chef event, where he was speaking about his latest book at the time, called “Lessons from the boot of a car”.
It shares what he learnt growing a start up from out of the book of his car, to becoming one of the most successful advertising powerhouses TBWA\Hunt\Lascaris.
Next up- what offers did I get for “Jack, Mike & Reg”? And who did I chose to trade with?
