#47 Erika Wager & Simon Konks - Giving Back, Evolved

Welcome back to the Emajin Golf Podcast: Beyond the 19th. This episode we have the pleasure of being joined by Erika Wager and Simon Konks from DigiDonate, an innovative blockchain-based donations platform. Both Erika and Simon are valued members of our Emajin community, and share insights into fund raising and distribution, how to incorporate AI into your business and donations using cryptocurrency. Erika born and raised in Switzerland, moving to Australia at the age of 7. When she turned 16, she went back to Switzerland to become a waitressing apprentice, until she started her own automotive business back in Australia. Similar to Erika, Simon came to Australia from Estonia in 2011, bringing his expertise and love of technology to DigiDonate! DigiDonate is a game changer in today's cryptocurrency world, using a transparent blockchain technology to capture and compartmentalised data, ensuring a seamless donating process to keep your personal information safe. Through the blockchain, all transactions can be verified with confirmation from chosen charities on what and how your donation has been spent. With DigiDonate, all of your donation information is in one platform, with 85% of that donation going into the charitable cause. They praise themselves on minimised admin expenses, whereas other organisations can take up to 60% of that donation. Erika and Simon speak about how important it is to take advantage of technology when donating to charities, or when upscaling your business.
