What do concert tickets and philanthropy have in common? Generally, not much, but a couple of friends of The Life You Can Save are working very hard to change that.

Tech entrepreneurs Joshua Ross and Adam McCurdie could have made a fortune building their ticketing platform start up, but a trip to war-torn Sri Lanka fueled their desires to do work that was truly meaningful.

It took a few years to get all the pieces aligned, but in 2016, Humanitix launched with a mission to be “The home of tickets for good, not greed.” And in less than a decade, they’ve transformed more than $10 million (Australian) dollars to healthcare, housing, education, and more — including a donation of $4M AUD to The Life You Can Save!

 In this episode, Charlie talks with co-founders Josh and Adam about the history of Humanitix, the good it’s done so far, and their mission to do even more in the years to come.
