  • Great, highly valuable content for nonprofits

    This episode is a must-listen for nonprofit leaders preparing for year-end giving. Seb does a fantastic job breaking down why donor expectations around fees are shifting and how nonprofits can adapt to build more trust with their supporters. The conversation with Dr. Rob Harter is both insightful and practical—you’ll walk away with clear strategies to make this your best giving season yet. Highly recommend for anyone looking to raise more while keeping their donors happy.

  • There are so many nonprofit podcasts out there, but this one truly stands out.

    Rob brings in incredible voices from diverse backgrounds and offers not just ideas, but real, actionable takeaways. As someone who cohosts a podcast myself, I know how hard this work is … and Rob makes it look effortless. He asks thoughtful questions, brings out the best in his guests, and is a genuinely fantastic host.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bringing Your Organization’s Impact to Life Through Story
Q: How do you see AI and technology really enhancing nonprofit organizations, particularly in light of fundraising, storytelling, and communications?
Kamin says AI can save time on tasks such as grant writing and summarizing large file collections, but users need enough knowledge to verify its accuracy. He warns that AI-written communications can feel impersonal and make organizations' work look alike.
Bringing Your Organization’s Impact to Life Through Story
Q: What holds leaders back from telling their story well, and are there things organizations can shift in their culture to prioritize storytelling?
Kamin says a culture of philanthropy helps staff understand that fundraising makes services possible. He recommends sharing real client outcomes with permission and respecting privacy, including setting an end date for stories.
What This Nonprofit Leader-Turned-Podcast Host Has Learned About Leadership
Q: How do you continue to marry the idea of being bold, taking bigger risks, but also maintaining that trust with your donors?
Goldenburg says to meet donors where they are and build a relationship toward shared goals rather than making an immediate solicitation. He illustrates this with an angry donor he reassured he would not ask for money without permission; after rebuilding trust, the donor gave nearly $400,000.
What This Nonprofit Leader-Turned-Podcast Host Has Learned About Leadership
Q: What have you learned about leadership from your guests that you never learned just in real life, and what did you learn in real life that you could never learn just by interviewing people?
Goldenburg says leadership is an ongoing process that should change as leaders gain experience. From guests, he learned principles such as wanting more for people than from them and treating organizational problems as people problems, which makes careful recruitment and onboarding essential.
What Real Support for Parental Leave Looks Like
Q: What is the ROI of getting this right from your perspective, knowing all the different complexities involved?
Wanner says planned coverage can protect important work and donor relationships, reduce burnout among coworkers, and lower the risk and expense of turnover. She recommends tailoring coverage to essential responsibilities rather than automatically replacing an entire role.
