Description

If you would like to donate directly to someone in need in Belfast you can do so at https://app.esther.org.uk/   ESTHER is a pocket-to-pocket giving app that allows donors to directly fund people in need.   The Belfast tech startup is leading the way in peer-to-peer donations with their revolutionary app that puts transparency at the core.   100% of the money you donate goes directly to the person who needs it via a prepaid card (one that prevents spending on things like gambling and alcohol).   Plus with monthly updates from the person receiving funds, you’ll be a part of their transformational journey every step of the way.   In today’s show, we caught up with Newry born and bred cofounder Carol Rossborough to chat about how their startup is supporting the most vulnerable members of our community during the COVID-19 Crisis.   She also slips in some absolute nuggets of wisdom including: How to recover from burnout Why investing in your marriage is essential And finding our identity outside of work   All this and more in today’s episode.   Check it out!   // To see a 'treasure trove' of all things related to ESTHER (including a photo) please visit https://bestofbelfast.org/stories/esther-donation-startup   Best Of Belfast is Northern Ireland's #1 Interview Podcast. We've shared 100+ hour-long conversations with incredible people from Northern Ireland.   To find out more, or join 'The Producers Club' please visit https://bestofbelfast.org/   Cheers!   — Matt
