Before The Bicycle Caught On, People Road Around On This Dandy Horse. Welcome to May 29th, 2021 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate a good way to get around and a crazy way to trade up.  Have you ever heard of a velocipede? It may sound like something out of Jurassic Park or even a giant insect, but it's something a lot more ordinary. A velocipede was an early version of the bicycle, but without a key feature. Instead of using pedals, riders would propel the vehicle along with their legs and once it was going fast enough, they would pick up their feet and cruise along. A lot of people thought these looked silly and gave them the nickname “dandy horses,” which wasn't the nicest expression at the time. About 50 years later, pedals and a chain were added and we got what we know today as bicycles. May is National Bike Month and today is the perfect day to get out and enjoy Spring! Have you ever heard the story about the guy who traded a paperclip for a house?  Kyle MacDonald, a Canadian blogger played the childhood game called Bigger, Better and started with a simple paperclip.  The idea of the game is that you keep trading up for something bigger and better until you reach an item you would actually like to keep.  At first Kyle traded his paperclip for a fish-shaped pen.  After thirteen exchanges he found himself with a movie role, which someone offered to trade for their two story farm house in Kipling, Saskatchewan!   Imagine turning an office supply into a house after only fourteen transactions.  On National Paperclip Day, celebrate the simple things in life that are worth more than you think!  I'm Anna Devere and I'm Marlo Anderson.  Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day.

In this first episode of the series, “Growing in Your Call,” Evelyn speaks with senior residential M.Div. students Kari Martin and Kyle MacDonald.

Kari grew up part of a non-denominational church in Virginia and pursued placements at Duke where she could be formed in church settings affiliated with both the United Methodist Church and Cooperative Baptist Fellowship. While Kyle, came to Duke from Kentucky with tons of music ministry experience and grew his idea of what kinds of ministry God might be calling him into.

In 2005, Canadian blogger Kyle MacDonald traded a red paperclip for a fish-shaped pen. From there, he wanted to see how many times he could "trade up" for something bigger and better. After one year and 14 trades (facilitated by the Internet, of course), he acquired a two-story farmhouse in Saskatchewan. No money changed hands. The barter-only experiment became a viral sensation and presents deep thoughts about the nature of value. Alli and Jen talk to MacDonald about his inspiration for the project, the amazing and strange people he met along the way, how the fame has affected his life, and the businesses who are still trying to cash in on Red Paperclip mania.

Remember the Red Paperclip Guy from a few years ago? In 2005, an out-of-work Kyle MacDonald started with a single red paperclip and traded his way up to a house in Kipling, Saskatchewan. Remarkably, this barter adventure took only 14 trades and was completed in less than a year. Kyle started out small, each time seeking something “bigger and better” in exchange. For example, his first trade was the red paperclip for a pen shaped like a fish. Then he traded the fish pen for a doorknob, and on and on up the ladder. The story certainly has some feel-good elements to it, and after a while the media attention definitely helped speed the process along, but I think it’s worthwhile to revisit because we’re all trying to “trade up.” By “trading up”, it’s important to note I’m not necessarily talking about acquiring a bigger house or a better car, but more along the lines of making bigger impacts and living better stories. I was reminded of the red paperclip story by last week's episode with Rob "The Flea Market Flipper" Stephenson. He talked about a challenge inside his community to start with something small and keep flipping the profits into bigger deals to see how much you could trade up over the course of a year. I think we all have a red paperclip story. Like Kyle, even starting with almost nothing, you can make big things happen with a little initiative and a little help from others along the way. This episode is about connecting the events that got you to where you are today, and thinking about where you want to go tomorrow. What’s the next trade you’d like to make? In the spirit of the red paperclip story, I’m going to use my own entrepreneurial journey to illustrate this; and similar to Kyle, I’ll use a series of 14 key decisions or trade points. But unlike Kyle, this took me a lot longer than a year!

In der letzten Folge ging es ja um Deine Gedanken und Deine Geisteshaltung. Wir haben gelernt, dass die Gedanken zu Gefühlen führen, diese wiederum zu Handlungen führen, und daraus dann Ergebnisse zu Stande kommen, die dann unsere Etappen des Lebens werden. Heute möchte ich Dir eine Geschichte vorstellen, bei der dieses Gedankenprinzip nach meinem Dafürhalten sehr gut angewendet wurde. Ich rede vom Tauschgeschäft „Büroklammer in Haus“. Du fragst dich jetzt sicher, ob das geht. Natürlich geht das, und ein Mann namens Kyle MacDonald aus Kanada hat es gemacht. Er war damals 25 Jahre alt und wollte eine rote Büroklammer per Kettentausch in ein Haus verwandeln. Er hat darüber sogar ein Buch geschrieben. Er fing an, die Büroklammer in einen Kuli aus Holz in Form eines Fischs zu tauschen. Es folgte später ein Campingkocher und irgendwann ein Nachmittag mit Rockstar Alice Cooper. Nach 1 Jahr und 14 Tauschgeschäften gelang es ihm, eine Nebenrolle in einem Film von US-Schauspieler Corbin Bernsen in ein Haus zu tauschen. Dort zog Kyle MacDonald dann auch ein. Sein Buch heißt übrigens „One Red Paperclip“ und wurde bereits ins Deutsche übersetzt. Falls Du also bisher gedacht hast, Deine Gedanken könnten Dein Handeln und Dein Leben nicht verändern, so kann ich nur sagen: Es gibt Beweise dafür, dass es funktioniert. Also probiere es bitte aus.

Hello there and welcome to a bonus edition of Join Up Dots. Have you ever looked at things that you can do in your lives easily, and think what's the point in taking time to do them? Such small insignificant actions that appears to not make any difference at all to the big picture? Well most people think that way, which is why they are reluctantly content to stay in their current situations. Unless they get instant gratification for their actions, then they fail to grasp the simple fact, that all these small actions add up to something amazing. Learn to cook over a period of time, by learning about the oven, food, and cutting devices and you never go hungry. Simply keep throwing  packages into the microwave eating happily, until you get a power cut and then what are you going to do? It's the small actions that make the difference. Well in today's episode of Join Up Dots, David Ralph lays down a challenge to all his listeners to take such a small action that on it's own it wont make any difference. But the compound effect is huge, and best of all everyone of you reading this can do the same and join in. He was inspired by reading the story of Kyle Macdonald, who went on an epic adventure swapping items to see how much value he could gain each time. Starting with just a red paper-clip, he travelled the globe until someone was willing to swap a house with him. Amazing. He was also inspired by the many people who have started with 1 penny, and doubled it in just 28 steps to over £1,000,000....equally amazing. The true inspiration being that these people believed in the impossible. They could see that these small steps all add up, unlike the majority of the world who will look at the penny and say...."What's the point it's only 1 penny". However action takers will say that it's actually 1/28th of a million dollars. Totally different mindset. So in today episode he has simply asked everyone of his listeners to go out and tell two people about the show, and ask them to listen. If they like the show then he would like the two additional listeners to tell two people. Nothing huge, but the start of a world changing compound effect. Will they do it, or think what's the point? Will they head to the instant gratification of a tweet, FB post or other form of social media and fail to tell anyone, as they won't be able to see the results of their actions straight away? Well, if they do share in twenty eight days it would be possible to have over 1,600,000 new listeners starting from just one pair of ears. A total movement being created in less than a month. Once again amazing. So today instead of just doing what needs to be done in your life, have a thought about what would happen if you look for the compound effect in your actions. Where could you be in 28 days, by working on a series of small actions leading to a big dream? Well, you could be a millionaire for a start, which would at least make you extremely popular with opposite sex.   And that is a dream worth having I would have thought!

Jason Hartman interviews Kyle MacDonald, author of One Red Paperclip, about Kyle's amazing bartering journey from one red paperclip to eventually a movie role opportunity to a house in Saskatchewan, where the biggest housewarming party ever was held. The idea began with a childhood game of Bigger and Better. Kyle's opinion is that anything in life is only worth what someone is willing to give for it. Things are worth different amounts to different people, and that worth may surprise you! Kyle MacDonald grew up in Belcarra, near Vancouver. He's really into projects, usually fun things that take on an obsessive element to some degree. Most noteworthy of these projects was the time he started with a red paperclip and traded it for bigger and better things until he wound up with a house. It was a silly idea and turned out to be a big deal. So big that the red paperclip has become his de-facto symbol and he's somewhat known as the “red paperclip guy.” To Kyle, a ‘red paperclip' is more of a symbolic thing, an idea that you're ready to launch. A new project about to happen. That spark of insight or inspiration. The most important thing about an idea is to do something with it. Today, Kyle lives in Montreal with his wife and does speaking engagement, photography, art projects, and “Who are These Guys?” to name a few of the projects he has embarked on.
