Keynote Speaker
Kyle MacDonald - The Red Paper Clip Guy
Kyle MacDonald has planted more than one hundred thousand trees, delivered more than one thousand pizzas, but eaten only one scorpion. He has also traded one red paperclip for a house only once. Kyle MacDonald started with one red paper clip and after 14 trades, ended up with a house.
Inspired by the kids’ game “Bigger and Better”, MacDonald set out to trade up with the goal of finding a house. He launched his quest on the Internet and used the web to solicit trades from all over the world. The story travelled like wildfire and caught the attention of news and entertainment agencies across the globe.
Audiences will learn about MacDonald’s encounters with Alice Cooper and Corbin Bernsen, and understand that his story isn’t really about the trades he made, but about building relationships, being open to adventure and believing in a dream.
