Former University of South Carolina standout and two-time team captain Debo Williams launched Spendher Hotline, an app that connects real people who need advice with other real people who can provide it. "Spendher Hotline is like Google or Reddit, but with real people behind the answers," said Williams, "This is a bridge for mentorship, mental health, and genuine conversation—something that's never been done before."
The mobile app, powered by humans, not AI, gives advice seekers a place to engage in private chats or simply connect with someone who will listen, while advice givers benefit just as much from being able to share content, set personal rates for their services.
Alongside the mobile app, Williams has launched Spendher Hotline Apparel with styles for men and women.
