I recently had the pleasure of diving deep into the world of crowdfunding and media with Dr. Letitia Wright, America’s Crowdfunding Strategist, on the “UnMasking Humanity: 21 Questions with Joshua T Berglan” podcast. With over two decades of experience in television production and crowdfunding expertise, Dr. Wright shared fascinating insights that could reshape how we think about funding and media in the digital age.

Key Takeaways:

1️⃣ The Fintech Revolution:
Dr. Wright highlighted the exciting convergence of fintech and crowdfunding. “The two together are growing exponentially,” she explained. This merger is opening up new possibilities for entrepreneurs, especially those traditionally underserved by banks.

2️⃣ Media and Crowdfunding Synergy:
We’re seeing more media projects directly connected to crowdfunding. This shift presents enormous opportunities for creators to bring their ideas to life without relying solely on traditional backing.

3️⃣ Empowering Underrepresented Voices:
Crowdfunding is proving to be a powerful tool for empowering women and minority-owned businesses. It’s democratizing access to funding and giving voice to innovative ideas that might otherwise go unfunded.

4️⃣ The Future of Crowdfunding:
“I definitely see crowdfunding bringing more equality,” Dr. Wright predicts. While regulatory challenges remain in some countries, the potential for global impact is immense.

5️⃣ Keys to Successful Crowdfunding:
- Leverage compelling visual storytelling
- Understand and connect with your audience
- Be prepared to put in the work
- Start with your existing network
- Maintain transparency and clear communication
- Have a solid plan for using funds
- Offer meaningful rewards to backers

Dr. Wright’s journey from chiropractor to crowdfunding expert and media personality is truly inspiring. Her parting words resonated deeply with me:

“Ignoring one’s conscience is neither safe nor right. So don’t ignore what’s on your heart. Go for it. It’ll bless your life, and it’ll bless others.”
