Episode 8 - Impact - NFTs and the future of social impact

In this episode, we are excited to be joined by Alex Balasky and Brandon Hulston, co-founders of Impact, a collective with a simple mission, to make philanthropy an integral part of web3. We discuss the launch of their exciting new project in support of Keep A Breast, the intersections of NFTs and social impact, and much more.About ImpactImpact re-imagines the giving experience for a crypto-native generation by allowing charities to easily accept crypto while providing donors with NFTs that commemorate their donation. Their goal is to make giving engaging, community driven, and transparent by giving donors an inside look into the projects they support while providing on-chain verification that they funded a cause. 95% of all funds raised by impact go to charitable causes. They aim to chart a new direction for the NFT community that is rooted in progress and giving back.Follow Alex, Brandon, & Impact, and learn more:Alex BalaskyTwitterBrandon HulstonTwitterImpactTwitterDiscordVisit their website: impactapp.xyzFor more info on the Keep A Breast NFT fundraiser: impactapp.xyz/causeEpisode Time Stamps0:30- Introduction2:22 - What was your "ah hah" moment that got you interested in cryptocurrency?7:00 - Tell us about Impact and how it got started10:35 - Recently you launched your first project in partnership with Keep A Breast.
