Show Notes
Demi Weitz, a seventeen-year-old from Los Angeles, transformed her birthday Zoom call into a massive fundraiser, Quarantunes, six years ago. With celebrity performances from Dolly Parton, John Legend, and the Hamilton cast, she raised thirty-eight million dollars for charities during the pandemic. Despite her own battle with kidney pain, leading to six surgeries and an MRI revealing a dead kidney, Demi persevered. She hosted a whimsical funeral for her kidney, raising more funds for good causes. Now, at nearly twenty-three, Demi is launching a music tech startup, On Octave, connecting artists with fans and tying earnings to charities.
