I'm a super connector – someone with the mindset, desire, and social capital to connect wonderful people with each other. I'm best when I'm making an impact using my voice – whether that's through podcasting, facilitating, being the emcee at an event, etc. I'm also adept at championing other people's movement instead of trying to start my own.

@ Zoom

Note 2020-11-01: Too few people committed to participate in this market, so I've canceled it.

The Offers and Needs Market (OANM) is a joyful, guided process where groups come together to discover and exchange their passions, knowledge, skills, resources, and needs. Whether for free, barter, or a set rate, people offer and need things like tech help, a place to live, or some extra produce.

This lively event will start at 7:00 am PST / 10:00 am EST / 16:00 CET on November 3 (or 1:00 am AEDT on November 4) and go for about one hour. If you need to convert the start time to your local time, use one of these two time zone converters: Time and Date or The Time Zone Converter.

What to Expect


The OANM unearths and shares the diverse forms of wealth we all have and reminds us that so much of what we need for a good life is already within our grasp.

Participants have found work, housing, new friends, a richer self-identity, and even a renewed trust in their community. Each exchange builds a connection, more connections create meaningful relationships, and the collective relationships strengthen communities – and maybe even create new ones.

It's also a way for us to practice ABCD as a simple, playful, and cheerful way to highlight what people can already do.

Required Preparation and How to Participate


If you want to participate in this event, you must do these steps at least one day before the market begins. If you don't, showing up will be a waste of your time and drain energy from the event itself.

  1. Read and take action on all of the Offers and Needs Market Participant Guide.
  2. Add all of your offers and needs in this Google Sheets template. If you prefer using forms to spreadsheets, you can use this form for offers and use this form for needs.
  3. If you use the Google Sheets template above, email me the link so I can combine your items with your fellow participants.
  4. Add a reminder to your digital or physical calendar so you remember to show up. :)

If you want more details about the OANM, feel free to explore here.

How to Join the Live Market


We’ll use Zoom for this special event. At a minimum, you’ll want a webcam or video-enabled mobile device, a microphone, headphones, and a quiet space to talk with us.

I'll email the Zoom room link to people who do the prep work one day before the real-time market.

Just One More Step …


Please add the details of the event to your physical or digital calendar now. :) I’d be sad if the only thing that stopped you from participating was a blind spot on your calendar or the wrong time zone conversion.
