Go MAD Giveaway

Andy Gilbert, Group Managing Director of Go MAD Thinking, entered the Poker Face TV quiz show to demonstrate the power of the Go MAD Thinking System. From over 10,000 people he successfully made the final three. Now he has decided to make a difference and give away his £65,000 prize winnings to help 1,000 people with £65 each.

However, you cannot ask for money to help yourself or support other charity fundraising, religious or political activities. This blog is about challenging you to use your thinking skills to make a positive difference, preferably sustainable, and help others to "Pay It Forward". What difference could you make? Please post your requests and comments.

Keep the ideas coming

A quick summary of some areas that people are using £65 for:
  • having a fun weekly adventure/quest
  • surprising and helping people with random acts of kindness
  • helping young people
  • helping old people
  • helping people develop their careers/start a business
  • creating sustainable projects

Please let me know if you would like £65 to help someone else or make a difference in the lives of others.

Making A Difference - Sustainable Results

Yesterday I received a jar of Go MAD Honey produced by the 5000 bees bought with £65 (see post published 7th May) by Everard Brewery employees. The goal of producing and selling 100 jars of honey has been achieved and each year a local hospice will benefit by £200 through the sale of honey.

This is a great example of having fun, involving others and making a sustainable difference - apparently the bees reproduced to nearly 50,000!

Who could you involve?
