Welcome to The Daily Quote—a podcast designed to kickstart your day in a positive way. I'm your host, Andrew McGivern, for March 14th.

Now, today is Crowdfunding Day, a celebration of the collective power of people coming together to fund ideas, dreams, and, let’s be honest, some really weird inventions. I mean, who wouldn’t want a smart toaster that prints your selfie onto a piece of bread?

But at its core, crowdfunding is about believing in something before it exists, investing in potential, and trusting that a good idea—when supported by enough people—can turn into something great. About something bigger: the idea that when people unite around a shared vision, incredible things can happen.

And that brings us to today’s quote and I don't know who said it because it is an African proverb without a known author. But somebody once said...

“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”

This proverb is a perfect reflection of why crowdfunding works—not just for raising money, but for achieving anything meaningful in life. Sure, you can sprint ahead on your own, but real success, the kind that lasts, is built with the support of others.

Whether it’s launching a business, pursuing a creative dream, or making a big life change, having the right people behind you makes all the difference. The most successful ventures aren’t just about one person’s vision—they thrive because a community believes in them.

So, on this Crowdfunding Day, ask yourself: What’s something you’ve been trying to do alone that might be even better with a little help?

That’s it for today’s episode. If this message inspired you, don’t keep it to yourself—share it! After all, the best ideas thrive when supported by a crowd. Thanks for listening, I'm Andrew McGivern, signing off for today but I'll be back tomorrow, same pod time, same pod station for another Daily Quote.
