Talent can be found for a T-shirt
22 November 2009
Kerrin Black is a wonderful lady. She's made me another unbelievable three-way offer. And she's also the person behind Faces of Hope.
But this post isn't about that.
It's about Talent... and finding it.
Talentfinders is the web-based database for the entertainment industry. It's the place on the internet to be listed if you are an artist, model, sports start, musician or any other kind of entertainer. If you want exposure to the whole wide world, this is the www you want to be on.
And Kerrin has offered not one, but TWO year long listings on Talentfinders for just one of my T-shirts.
So if you're a professional entertainer, or even an amateur one new to the industry, this is your chance to be listed on the site for a year, and to get your friend listed. And you don't have to have an agent. But if you do, that is ok too- you and your agent can get listed for just one T-shirt. Agents – you can also be listed on the site, and then list one of your talents too, just for one T-shirt.
So this offer is open to anyone who is:
- an agent of talent
- talented
And the kind of talent that is found here is:
- models
- public speakers
- artists
- sports people
- musicians
- stand up comedians
- dancers
- presenters
- voice over artists
- master of ceremonies
- fire poi dancers
- graffiti artists ;)
- ventriloquist
- etc
So for Talent out there, this is an offer to market yourself as well as get exposure to a very valuable database for clients.
And this offer is going to go fast- so it'll be to the first person who PHONES ME on 0837302979 to be part of this 3-way Trade.
This 3-way Trade is for:
- You to get 2 listings on the talenfinders.com website
- Kerrin to get one T-shirt
- Me to trade on another of my T-shirts

I chatted with the Ice God and the Chosen One
Mongezi hooked me up with Chuma Kave. Chuma sounds like a rock star- his passion is daydreaming and daring- what an awesome combination. He also believes he is the CHOSEN ONE- seriously! So I look forward to meeting him in person one day, then I can say I've met the Chosen One, Chuma Kave himself.
But seriously, I'd like to meet him one day and chat more, because Chuma's also into helping entrepreneurs build successful businesses and uplifting rural communities through technology- subjects I'm into too. He's also created the Kave Foundation which focuses on empowering the youth through education, and is going to be involved with the Global Entrepreneurship Week in 2010.
Anyway, so Chuma phoned me up early on Tuesday 10th November for my interview on Radio 2000's super fantastic 'Super Fantastic Breakfast Show', which he produces. I went on air with Just-Ice Ramohlola. He's known as the "Ice God", so I think that's why Chuma and Just-Ice make a good team: The Ice God and the Chosen One on the same team can only be a hit!
It was a great chat with Just-Ice, and you'll hear at the end of the interview he talks about there being a "growing number of these people, philantropreneurs". He mentions that, because just a few weeks before he had interviewed my friend Adin who's doing a 'NO MONEY REQUIRED' experiment for 5 years.
And to now add to this list, there is also another South African, Sonja Kruse, choosing to live without money and show how Ubuntu is alive in our country, and she started her journey just 22 days ago with R100 in her pocket.
So with all these philantropreneuers, as Just-Ice calls us, popping up, have a listen to my chat with the Ice God himself on Radio 2000 by clicking here.
Enjoy!
Later

Another evening with the 'matchstick girl and the cashless dude
I'm off to Cape Town on Tuesday- It's going to be a packed week in the Mother city, and I hope to get some quiet time on the beach and to also catch up with some special friends, and make some new ones.
If you'd like to meet up then get in touch! You can come and meet Adin van Ryneveld - the No Money Man- and I on Thursday night at the Primi Piatti, Cavendish for the onematchstick movie première, where Adin will be the guest speaker, and Mongezi the MC. Join the event on facebook here.
It's going to be a fun evening if the Joburg première is anything to go by, so do come along and say hi, and be one of the first to see the onematchstick movie.
So it'll be great to meet up if you're in Cape Town: Get in touch!

Johannesburg Premiere of the onematchstick Movie
18 November 2009
What a fun evening we had premiering the onematchstick movie! Now nearly 50 people have seen the movie.
(That's me on TV!!)
Mongezi was our MC and he did a strip show, revealing the onematchstick official T-shirt.
Adin wowed people with his ambitious goal of giving away all his money over the next 5 years- he's now officially a public speaker, after this being his second time as being the guest speaker at an event.
I got to hang out with my youngest fan- Ashley and my biggest fan- my Mom.
Tu made an appearance after attending TEDx all day, and got to meet Andy of bidorbuy.co.za, who is organising to get his prize to him for winning the Springleap.com official onematchstick T-shirt design competition.
I got to meet new friends and fans, and chat to my long time wonderful friends!
The movie was well received, and many commented on how well it was put together (that's thanks to Jarred of Missing Link) and got the onematchstick story across.
Thank you to all who came and made this such a memorable and fun-filled evening!
Now I'm off to Cape Town next week to the Cape Town Premiere on the 26th November. I managed to barter my flight down to Cape Town, so all is sweeeet!
The onematchstick movie will be released after the Cape Town Premiere!

Three-Way Trades for T-shirts
11 November 2009
So I still have 285 T-shirts to trade in order to complete my tenth trade. I'm being called to think very, very creatively about how to find the 285 people to trade with.
Nikki contacted me and said she wanted one of my T-shirts and would trade for it for a place on her small business startup workshop.
That got me thinking.
So I put the word out and within a day Chris had found Michelle who was starting her business and wanted to do Nikki's course, and for her it was a bargain to "pay" Nikki with a T-shirt and at the same time make that T-shirt count as a trade with me.
So we traded:
Nikki got her T-shirt.
Michelle got to go to the workshop.
I got one less T-shirt to trade.
An awesome Three-Way Trade!
That has sparked off three more offers for T-shirts that involved Three-Way Trading (is there something about the number 3 right now?)
- David has offered 4 private Pilates classes for three T-shirts (Johannesburg only)
- Tuesday as offered her beautiful artwork for two T-shirts (Global)
- KK Diaz has offered his audio payroll workshop for one T-shirt. (South Africa)
PILATES:
David du Plessis has been offering Pilates classes for many years, and – being my Pilates instructor- I can vouch that he knows his stuff and gets results. He combines Pilates with Gyrotonics and Kettlebell training, and is uber-cool.
His studio is in Fourways, Johannesburg, at the centre where I have my temporary office (temporary until I get my onematchstick office).
He is offering four private Pilates classes that could be used one a week for a month, or all four in four days- you decide- in exchange for three of my Springleap T-shirts.
So if you are keen to try out Pilates in the Fourways area, or get back into it, and get super fit and strong and have a laugh while you work out, plus get the four private session at a discounted rate- CALL ME!!!
ARTWORK:
"Tuesday Houston is a contemporary South African artist making a significant impact on the local art market."
She's been arty since – well forever! She's even dabbled in welding metal into gorgeous jewellery and is very into fashion and stuff like that, especially fashion for kids.
She's offered me TWO limited edition lino prints (about A4 in size) which are very popular, and unframed go for R900 in a Gallery.
All she wants is two T-shirts in return for one of the prints, and we can post the print to you! What a sweet deal!
So if you want one of Tuesday's limited edition lino prints- CALL ME!
PAYROLL TRAINING:
I met KK Diaz at this months Netweb event, and he's an entrepreneur. He runs Rekopane Payroll Services and develop a nifty payroll audio support programme called 'Payroll With A Voice'. It's South Africa's first payroll workshop in audio and workbook format, so you can learn in your own time, even sitting in your undies at home if you like. ;)
When he's not helping people demistify payroll for good, he's working on his record label dedicated to assisting indi artists, called Liber8. He's also just a man looking to play his part on this beautiful planet.
And his part in the onematchstick story is he's offered his audio payroll workshop for ONE of my Springleap T-shirts. It's worth R399.99, he's running a special right now for R279.99, but YOU can get it for R219.00 if you do a Three-Way Trade with KK and me. If you want this audio payroll workshop – CALL ME!
So it's as easy as 1 – 2 – 3 for a three-way trade with me.
CALL ME! 083 730 2979

I didn't do this…
02 November 2009
But I did do this:
Because my timing sucked and our last attempt at graffiti got painted over within 24 hours, I decided to give it another bash, with the help of Richard and Carol... and on the way there we passed this white bus stop on Jan Smuts, just near the Zoo...
I have no idea why someone has whitewashed the trees and grass around this bus stop, and the actual bus stop, but it made for a fun playground for a few photos!
Now I am looking for 285 people- I've trade 90 T-shirts so far, and am ready to trade with another 285 people for any of these Springleap T-shirts (use coupon code onematchstick to track your trade with me!). So contact me on 0837302979 to find out how to become part of the onematchstick story!
