People of Fundition
Welcome to February our lovely people, the month of love, snow melting, and the month where most of the New Years decisions have been abandoned. To keep your spirits up, we have decided to show you ours so welcome to our new series Humans of Fundition where we will show you the real people behind the scenes.

We will regularly bring you interviews with our Associates, Ambassadors, and Angels so you can learn more about them and see the human side behind a project as big as Fundition. We will also bring you interviews with project founders and Backers and give you both sides of that crowdfunding coin.
We will start this off with the person behind our posts and texts, our Editorial director @zen-art. (yes, I will be interviewing myself lol, do not laugh, Mimee made me do it, blame her 😄 ) But I do get her intention behind it, by doing it first, I will show you that it is not hard at all and that questions are not as scary as you would think. Enjoy my little schizophrenic experience where I am talking to a mix between myself and an imaginary interviewer. I am sooooooooooo looking forward to doing this with someone else...
Hello, welcome to our interview. Can you briefly talk about yourself?
Hello to you too, I am happy to be here. My name is Petra, and I live in Zagreb, the capital of a European country Croatia. I am 33 years old and consider myself a successful person. To me, happiness equals success and since I am a pretty happy person, the conclusion is simple, I must be successful then. I have been called a happy fairy here and there and I happily (how else?) accept that nickname. My philosophy of happiness is simple, live every day as it is your last but learn as you will never have the last day. This is because it is always better to be prepared and not need that knowledge than to need the knowledge and not have it. Life is about fun and about growth. Those are kind of my missions, to always have fun and to always learn. I enjoy reading, walking, writing, painting, not talking to people before morning coffee, wine, chocolate, fantasy novels, George R.R. Martin, Tolkien, black beer, Rick and Morty, science stuff, spiritual stuff, dogs, not cats, cold showers and warm baths, the smell of patchouli, snow, the sea, open-minded and intelligent people, everything that is green, rock music, meditation, traveling, sudoku puzzles and food.
How long have you been using the Steem Blockchain?
I have just celebrated my first steemiversay or my first steemit birthday just a couple of days ago. I joined in January 2018.
Did you introduce the Steem blockchain to your friends and family?
Yes and no. My friend introduced me to steemit and we were supposed to start together but she never got around to doing it. My hubby is a big enthusiast and will probably start one day but we need a second laptop for that. When you get the chance, go on my profile and upvote my posts, help me earn money for it 😄.
Are you working on any project for the moment?
I am working on the best project there is, the FUNDITION! I am the Editorial director and also a part of customer service. If I am not working on writing posts, I am editing some texts for the website or doing whatever I can to help the Fundition grow and become all that it can be, and it can be a lot. When I think about it, it already is a lot.
How long have you been in the Associates team and how were you recruited?
This is my fifth month of being a part of the team and so far so good. I am loving every moment of it. Fundition was looking for someone to write their posts and I applied, jumped through some hoops and the rest is history. An inside joke is that since most of the Associates are French, my biggest job at Fundition is fixing their broken English 😄.
What motivated you to work in Fundition?
I saw an amazing potential to really impact the world here and work on something that truly matters. The idea is incredible and I have to admit, when I saw the platform, I was astonished and amazed at how beautiful and brilliant it looks so I had to meet the person who created the code behind it.
Do you have any behind stories to tell us?
I just turned around and there was nothing behind me but some dust. I think I have to vacuum more often. My personal "behind story" is pretty colorful and includes some serious ups and downs, luckily the ups were bigger. The "behind story" with me and Fundition, well... If I told you than it would not be a surprise and you know how us at Fundition like surprises.
What are your goals in life?
Getting my book published would be nice. I am still deciding between going with agents and publishers or publishing it myself online, at least the first one. I am still thinking about it. Other goals include staying as happy as I am or becoming even happier. There are some plans with almost every part of my life but that is what progress and improvement are, becoming better with each day.
Any words you’d like to say to the future Fundition Users?
READ OUR EDUCATIONAL POSTS! 😄 99% of all the answers you are looking for are there and if you want to create an amazing project presentation that will make your project shine, they will help you and teach you how to do it. There is a lot of psychology involved in crowdfunding and we understand that you can not know everything about everything. That is why we are here, to help you along the way. If you are not interested in creating projects but would love to support them instead, you have come to the perfect place. Fundition is building the future today and no matter what you are interested in, from art and education to innovation or charity, you will find it on Fundition. Open your hearts and open your wallets, this is the place you want to be if you want to impact the world.
Thank you for doing the interview. Do you have any last words you would like to add?
Life is as fun as you make it. It is as happy as you make and as enjoyable as you make it. What are you doing with yours? Are you enjoying it? Either nothing is a miracle or everything is. I choose everything and suggest the same to you. Always keep your smile on (it irritates the hell out of people who want to bring you down). You are an amazing person and you owe it to the Universe to stay unique and gorgeous just the way you are but do not confuse improvement with not being true to yourself. Always try to be a bit better today than you were before and ask yourself are you smarter, more intelligent, kinder, wiser, nicer, happier today than you were yesterday. Do not compare yourself with anyone else but yourself from the past and if you want to spread some love, spread it with Fundition.
Spread your love with:
Join a community with heart based giving at its core
Thanks for sharing this Petra :)
It has been only five months that you joined us and even if you was a bit late^^... you did so much for Fundition at the point that you became a pillar of this amazing associates team in a short time, I talk for myself but I presume that the whole team also agree with me.
Fundition is all about helping people, but without a lot of patience and the help of talented bravehearts like you it would be more difficult, or near impossible so everyday I feel lucky to work with you and to have you in the team as editorial/content director and I wish to never see this collaboration ending!
I didnt know that you prefer wine to chocolate :) or it's only because you couldnt put them at the same position? :)
Again thanks for being here, for being how you are and for rocking and walking with us !!
Awwwwww, now you got me blushing and yeah wine and chocolate hold the same position and work best when they are together ;)
The wonderful team of Fundition had been such a great inspiration for me and many people here.
Thank you for doing what you are doing ! More HeartPower ❤️

"Welcome to February our lovely people, the month of love, snow melting, " haha, where do you live? Snow melting???
When I lived in Western Canada we had snowstorms sometimes right into May, just when we though Spring was here.
You know the temperatures in the Midwest right now?
I am glad I am in Austria - living in the East and not in the Mountains, there are no avalanches in Vienna, haha
But I don't think the snow is melting in Zagreb any time soon either.
Hihihi, maybe the intro was more of an optimistic wishful thinking than anything else :)
We had 18°C in Zagreb two days ago actually but I have heard that another cold front is coming so out with that scarf again.
