This week we are going to try an interesting activity called "Free Money" where I try and give away a dollar to five different people. I am going to go to the gym because it is both crowded and near where I live. I am going to approach people who look exhausted because it shows they worked hard and deserve that dollar. I plan on starting the conversation by asking about their workout and then immediately showing the dollar and asking them if they want to take it. I will explain how I had this dollar given to me because I was working hard and that I encourage them to do the same. I believe that the dollar and my smile will speak for itself. I want to keep it simple and offer the money up front because I think it will increase the odds of the person taking it. I think at least 4 out of 5 people will take my dollar. Lets look at the results below!

Free Money
Hello again folks,
This week we are going to try an interesting activity called "Free Money" where I try and give away a dollar to five different people. I am going to go to the gym because it is both crowded and near where I live. I am going to approach people who look exhausted because it shows they worked hard and deserve that dollar. I plan on starting the conversation by asking about their workout and then immediately showing the dollar and asking them if they want to take it. I will explain how I had this dollar given to me because I was working hard and that I encourage them to do the same. I believe that the dollar and my smile will speak for itself. I want to keep it simple and offer the money up front because I think it will increase the odds of the person taking it. I think at least 4 out of 5 people will take my dollar. Lets look at the results below!

Hey Travis,
ReplyDeleteGood work on this assignment. Personally,I thought it was my least favorite assignment that we have done. I just found it to be super uncomfortable and not even in a good way. I even lost a few dollars haha! I think how you filmed your video at the gym was a great idea where the people were exhausted. I would have never thought to record it there.

Hey Travis,
ReplyDeleteFantastic job with this assignment. For me, this was the most challenging, awkward, and toughest assignment of the semester. I didn't have a problem interviewing people, but for some reason, giving away a dollar just increased the level of awkward for me. I liked your premise of the "pass it on" mentality. I thought that was a fantastic way to get them to keep the dollar and have a believable reason for you to be giving it away. Great job! Here is a link to my blog if you're interested:
