EP. 29: CROWDFUNDING AND SOCIAL IMPACT WITH TOM DAWKINS

In this episode of The Ocean Impact Podcast we caught up with Tom Dawkins from StartSomeGood via Instagram Live.

Tom Dawkins is a key figure in the Australian social impact and social enterprise landscape, developing and contributing to a number of powerful organisations, platforms and communities to increase this vital approach to creating positive change. A ‘big’ thinker and outspoken voice on the state of the planet and its citizens, Tom doesn’t shy away from telling it like it is and adding his two cents to a conversation about how the future should look and function.

In this podcast Tim and Tom discuss a range of matters relating to social and environmental impact and the current state of the world. They also talk at length about a campaign StartSomeGood and Ocean Impact Organisation collaborated on with Austral Fisheries called the ‘Seafood for Good Accelerator’.

The Seafood for Good Accelerator is nearing its final stages with the two finalists (Farmer Meets Foodie and Seaweedery) in the middle of their critical crowdfunding campaigns right now.

In this episode we cut to a quick call with one of the founders of Seaweedery after the chat with Tom Dawkins to quickly hear their insights from the experience too.
