Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

"The gun, the shoes and the meaningful mission moment..."
Q: What led you to adopt a model of frequent, smaller asks rather than focusing on a few large donors?
I realized we weren't curing cancer, we were developing leadership in young men, and the scalability came from engaging many people with manageable asks that together built a durable pipeline.
"The fundraising shift that turned $30K into $130K...”
Q: What would you advise people to do as the first step to bring in a product mindset to fundraising without feeling overwhelmed?
Start by talking to donors to understand their motivations, what they value about the event, and why they choose to fundraise for your charity, which provides clear direction on strengths to build on and potential gaps to fix.
"The advice I stopped giving after I became the executive director...”
Q: So how has the experience of actually being in the ED changed the way you advise nonprofits now?
I now lead with empathy, focus on underlying causes for gaps, and tailor advice to the nonprofit's context rather than prescribing standard templates, because context often drives whether traditional fund-raising guidance works.
"The advice I stopped giving after I became the executive director...”
Q: Before you became an executive director, you were telling me that you would give your nonprofits, your leaders, this advice about how to get their boards fundraising. What did you tell them and why did you think it would work?
I advised clearly that boards should fundraise and that the ED should model and teach; however, I learned firsthand that being in the ED shoes means there are real-world constraints, and even perfect implementation doesn't guarantee board participation.
"The shocking advice I got when starting my nonprofit...”
Q: What happened when you reached out to other veteran service nonprofits for guidance, and what did you learn?
Most of the large organizations discouraged the idea, telling me it was stupid and suggesting I quit or join them, but one organization, Big Sky Bravery, offered genuine mentorship and practical advice on how to start, focus funding, and market the program.
