Episode 589 - Ben Toland Interview


Listen Later

One theme we often hear about on this show through our many athlete interviews is the struggle when it comes to funding, and how Olympians support themselves to pursue their Olympic goals. It's a complicated journey for many to receive the money to help them with their careers, with limited avenues available to them outside the traditional sponsorship route. But one man is trying to change that, with British startup founder Ben Toland founding the online crowdfunding website Fayder, which aims to help support athletes in a way never seen before. But just what is this platform? How does it work? And how can it help future Olympians succeed on their path to ultimate sporting glory?
