Jacob Wells, founder & chief financial officer of the Online Fundraising group, ‘Give Send Go‘, was my guest for this episode of, ‘Frankly Speaking’. This particular interview took place on, 9-6-23, in the Nashua Public TV studio.
‘Give Send Go‘ is a Christian-based Online Fundraising, a.k.a. Crowdfunding, business created by Wells, along with his sister, Heather Wilson about eight years ago. Although this business had been turning over profits during its first five years in operation, its public visibility strongly increased when it represented Kyle Rittenhouse, an alleged vigilante during one of the 2020 Black Lives Matter riots in Wisconsin which Rittenhouse had shot and killed two individuals, and severely wounded a third all while trying to protect his relatives Auto Parts business from being destroyed in this event.
Another business which gave, ‘Give Send Go‘ quite a bit of public exposure was that of the Canadian truckers when they were protesting against their country’s government a couple years back.
We talked quite a bit about how the name, “Give Send Go” was first initiated, and what were some of the main distinctions between it and it’s main rival, ‘Go Fund Me‘. We further talked about how someone in need of fundraising can avail themselves of ‘Give Send Go‘ services.
Much of the Internet criticisms against, ‘Give Send Go’ stem from many others, who most likely never used their services but attempt to “cancel” both Jacob and his sister Heather mainly because they refuse to conform themselves to our country’s “Woke” community. Wells added that he and his sister strive to help those following ‘Give Send Go‘, live their lives “selflessly”, and hopes to prove to its public audience that, “our (Give Send Go’s) actions speak louder than their (Woke community critics) words.”
I joked with Wells in the interview that he and his sister Heather ought to go on the TV show, Shark Tank, and ask the Sharks if they’d be willing to give you two, $1 million for 1 percent of your business. I told Wells that even if none of the Sharks were willing to give you and your sister $1 million (sometimes 1-2 Sharks might make a ‘counter offer’), him and his sister would be afforded about 10-15 minutes of Prime National (or International?) broadcast visibility. I further joked about one of the more popular Sharks on that show, Kevin O’Leary, a.k.a. Mr. Wonderful, has an old cliche which he’s shared on that production about a zillion times – ‘Anybody who’s been operating a business for at least three years and still hasn’t made a profit yet, is actually doing a Hobby as opposed to running a Business’. Funny thing – both Wells and his sister, Heather, DISPROVE O’Leary’s theory as they didn’t really hit “the Big Money” till about the Five-year mark of, ‘Give Send Go’.
After the studio interview, I inadvertently forgot to ask Wells about the situations that ‘Give Send Go‘ would automatically REFUSE to represent, right up front. He told me that it would be any type of funding for Abortions, and secondly, any type of funding for either a youngster or a teenager to have, Gender Reassignment Surgery.
Incidentally, Wells and his sister, Heather operate an Internet podcast called, ‘Shine Brightly‘, which largely correlates to their Non Denominational Christian upbringing in nearby Salem NH. If you wish to learn more about, ‘Give Send Go‘, please log onto its website – http://www.GiveSendGo.com .
