Free Money

Hey everyone! I opted to stand outside a Walmart. I figured this would allow me to interact with many different kinds of people from all sorts of backgrounds. I told people I was trying to do a random act of kindness and asked if they would take a dollar from me. I expected 3 out of 5 would take the money. I was right. The extra $2 I gave to a sports team that was raising money. Men took the money, women looked at me like I was crazy. Sorry for the horrible video, my vedographer backed out last minute so I was trying to inconspicuously record people while giving them (or trying to give them) money. This is video of three of my experiences. I didn't get video of the other 2. I expected women to be more open, since I am a women. Instead I had one ignore me completely and one so no thank you and continue talking on her phone. All three guys took the money and thanked me, although I did get interesting looks and am sure I was a story at someone's dinner table.

Elevator Pitch No. 2

The last time I did this my video as at an odd angle because I waited until the last minute and did not set up well. This was noted by those who commented on my blog. Since presentation is important, I took a better video of myself this time while using the same speech since it was not critiqued in any way. I did receive feedback that the entire premise of the idea may not be good because fashion is so hard to get into, but I am not letting that deter me from pursuing this idea at least within the confines of this class. I personally tried to be less nervous and a little more comfortable this time as well.
