Telana Simpson is one amazing woman. She started a project over 2 years ago to try trade office space, for one matchstick.
Eh? You may be asking yourself. Yup, that’s right, but not a direct trade. She’s trading up incrementally to finally get the offices she dreams of for her company, as well as contributing some space to mentoring a start-up entrepreneurial enterprise.
Her trades so far: One matchstick for a green ballpoint pen for a fluffy frog for 3 business books for 18 bottles of wine for a holiday in Utopia for 3 grand cash for a balloon safari with champagne breakfast for two.
If I’m not mistaken, right now she’s looking for an iPhone to trade for the balloon safari.
Any takers to fulfill this dream?

I remember someone doing this exact same thing but started with a red paper clip, eventually swopping it for a house!

Yeah, cheap imitation of Kyle MacDonald’s, one red paperclip.
