19
00:02:01,418.16426531 --> 00:02:01,988.16426531
Hi, Sarah.
20
00:02:03,808.16426531 --> 00:02:05,48.16426531
Hey, I'm so excited.
21
00:02:05,48.16426531 --> 00:02:16,448.16326531
So we, I had you on last year, unbeknownst to me, really right before the summit, like I didn't know a lot about the summit and then I went to the summit, and it was phenomenal.
22
00:02:16,538.16426531 --> 00:02:18,568.16326531
You did an amazing job.
23
00:02:19,923.16426531 --> 00:02:23,203.16426531
The presenters are just top notch.
24
00:02:23,513.16426531 --> 00:02:29,863.16426531
I met so many colleagues that I work with now on a regular basis, and so I am so excited to welcome you back.
25
00:02:31,123.16426531 --> 00:02:33,33.16426531
Thank you for having me back.
26
00:02:33,43.16426531 --> 00:02:49,653.06326531
It was so much fun being on the last time, and I just loved our conversation, and I am so excited for this next summit to have you actually as a speaker, so I'm sure we'll talk about that more, but I can't wait to have you and welcome you to the summit.
27
00:02:49,793.16326531 --> 00:02:53,293.16326531
the virtual stage for, for the next upcoming summit.
28
00:02:54,58.16326531 --> 00:02:54,688.16326531
Awesome.
29
00:02:54,938.16326531 --> 00:02:55,258.16326531
Yeah.
30
00:02:55,258.16326531 --> 00:02:57,548.16326531
I've been telling everybody about it because I'm really excited.
31
00:02:57,578.16326531 --> 00:03:08,778.16226531
You have invited really amazing guests and people who are dealing with the rapid evolution of the nonprofit sector.
32
00:03:08,828.16226531 --> 00:03:12,328.16226531
And this, so this, this year's topic is evolve.
33
00:03:12,348.16226531 --> 00:03:13,828.06326531
And I think it's such a.
34
00:03:15,908.16326531 --> 00:03:17,338.16326531
well timed topic.
35
00:03:18,538.16326531 --> 00:03:19,348.16326531
Thank you.
36
00:03:19,368.16326531 --> 00:03:19,788.16326531
Yeah.
37
00:03:19,788.16326531 --> 00:03:26,178.16326531
It's, it's crazy because we actually are hitting our 10th Nonprofit411.
38
00:03:26,198.16326531 --> 00:03:27,728.16326531
So congratulations.
39
00:03:28,108.16326531 --> 00:03:28,818.16326531
Thank you.
40
00:03:28,838.16226531 --> 00:03:29,268.16226531
Yeah.
41
00:03:29,268.16326531 --> 00:03:32,428.16326531
I've been on the team for the last three years.
42
00:03:32,428.16326531 --> 00:03:35,78.16326531
This is my seventh summit that I'm planning.
43
00:03:35,368.16226531 --> 00:03:38,138.16226531
There was, there was three incredible ones before I got here.
44
00:03:38,138.16226531 --> 00:03:56,43.16326531
So but it's, It's been such an exciting journey and we just kind of felt like with this 10th summit, like it was the perfect time to reflect on where we've been and where we're going in the sector as a whole and also as, as the summit evolves itself.
45
00:03:56,43.16326531 --> 00:04:00,433.16326531
So it was such a cool moment to do some reflection.
46
00:04:00,493.16326531 --> 00:04:06,573.16326531
And so we were taking a look at some of the themes that we've done in the past three years.
47
00:04:07,573.16326531 --> 00:04:42,458.16326531
And I felt like all of our summits have been very, very forward thinking, and I think that was exactly what was needed at the moment, right? The summit really started as, as a reaction to COVID where every organization that we worked with and was on our email list was just looking for direction of how do we move forward in this newly virtual digital first world where all of my golf events and galas and all of my things that I usually do in person are now Having to navigate the digital space.
48
00:04:42,458.16326531 --> 00:04:45,898.16326531
And so for that reason, we've been very, very tech forward.
49
00:04:45,948.16326531 --> 00:04:53,978.16226531
And it was the perfect way to equip organizations to continue to scale in in these digital spaces.
50
00:04:54,18.16326531 --> 00:04:57,458.16426531
And so now I took I took a look back.
51
00:04:57,628.16426531 --> 00:05:21,343.16426531
And I think a lot of our messaging, I don't, I don't think that this was ever stated outright and it, and it definitely wasn't even the intention, but it could have, if you weren't really diving a little bit deeper and attending the sessions, be interpreted as Hey, like technology is a silver bullet to driving nonprofit growth, which it's not.
52
00:05:21,403.16426531 --> 00:05:26,413.16426531
It's all about how you're leveraging the technology for your organization.
53
00:05:26,733.16426531 --> 00:05:34,853.16426531
And how you leverage that actually goes back to a lot of those foundational principles that have always propelled nonprofits forward.
54
00:05:34,873.16426531 --> 00:05:50,248.16426531
And so, And even myself, like, I just hit 10 years working in the nonprofit sector, and so many people like yourself and so many of our attendees and speakers have been doing this work, if not for a decade, but decades.
55
00:05:50,598.16326531 --> 00:06:02,28.16426531
And so those foundational principles that are hard earned and hard learned over the course of 10, 20, 30, 50 years are still so valuable.
56
00:06:02,38.16426531 --> 00:06:06,438.16426531
It just looks Different in the context of 2025.
57
00:06:06,448.16426531 --> 00:06:18,298.16426531
So that's what I really want to do is really celebrate all of us who have been doing this work a long time and take all of those foundational principles and then put it in the context of how you can.
58
00:06:18,438.16426531 --> 00:06:41,663.16526531
Take these ideas and then use tech tool solutions and all of the opportunities available for organizations To drive growth in 2025 and beyond so that's really where evolve came from I do feel like we're in the midst of this big nonprofit evolution of, of technology and how we engage with it and how we incorporate it into our organizations.
59
00:06:41,663.16526531 --> 00:06:45,133.16526531
And so yeah, it's not about getting rid of the old things.
60
00:06:45,163.16526531 --> 00:06:49,593.16526531
It's about looking at what does that look like in today's context.
61
00:06:50,593.16426531 --> 00:07:00,853.16426531
So I love that for so many reasons because I, you know, my business is relatively new and this is the second time that I've done nonprofit consulting.
62
00:07:01,423.16526531 --> 00:07:02,883.16526531
And one of the things.
63
00:07:03,328.16526531 --> 00:07:06,768.16526531
That is different this time I did it before in 2014.
64
00:07:07,368.16526531 --> 00:07:22,968.16526531
One of the things that's so different this time is that as a solopreneur, I have the opportunity to be able to add to what I do in so many positive ways because of technology, you know, I have a CRM, and I can.
65
00:07:23,513.16526531 --> 00:07:25,913.16526531
Post my social media on it in advance.
66
00:07:25,943.16526531 --> 00:07:27,943.16526531
We were just talking about automations.
67
00:07:27,953.16526531 --> 00:07:39,473.16526531
Like I can do some automations, which helped me with like reminders and things that I know are really important to the people that I serve, but there are other things that.
68
00:07:40,483.16526531 --> 00:07:52,393.16476531
Are the same and actually things that I'm revisiting because this year I have started doing 15 minute phone calls instead of zoom calls with people.
69
00:07:52,393.16476531 --> 00:07:59,573.16426531
I just want to check in for 15 minutes on the phone and it feels different, but.
70
00:08:00,88.16526531 --> 00:08:02,238.16526531
It's right in that space.
71
00:08:02,268.16526531 --> 00:08:07,628.16526531
And it's something that I have not been historically comfortable with.
72
00:08:07,628.16526531 --> 00:08:09,418.16526531
I just, I've never made a ton of phone calls.
73
00:08:09,478.16526531 --> 00:08:15,218.16326531
I, you know, I don't use the phone for that reason which is funny cause I'm 45, so like I'm right there.
74
00:08:15,218.16326531 --> 00:08:16,818.16426531
I'm always on the cusp of everything.
75
00:08:16,828.16426531 --> 00:08:18,138.16426531
I was born in 78.
76
00:08:18,548.16426531 --> 00:08:23,128.16426531
So right as technology was changing and I have a little brother who was born in 82.
77
00:08:24,8.16426531 --> 00:08:25,568.16426531
So by then.
78
00:08:26,118.16426531 --> 00:08:30,528.16426531
Technology was, had infiltrated everything and I was blessed with an opportunity.
79
00:08:31,733.16426531 --> 00:08:33,733.16426531
To be raised with technology.
80
00:08:34,33.16426531 --> 00:08:37,633.16426531
I have no memories without at least a computer in the house.
81
00:08:37,883.16426531 --> 00:08:44,103.16326531
Now the first computer was the Commodore, but you know, I had a computer in my house from the time I was little.
82
00:08:44,553.16326531 --> 00:08:47,23.16326531
And so I think that you're right.
83
00:08:47,23.16426531 --> 00:08:56,953.16426531
I think we're in this really unique place in time where we are evolving, but evolving means looking at the whole picture.
84
00:08:57,543.16426531 --> 00:09:10,733.16426531
And remembering those things that are really strengths and keeping them and then looking at the weaknesses and seeing how we can improve or change in those areas, but it doesn't mean scrapping everything.
85
00:09:12,903.16426531 --> 00:09:13,643.16426531
Exactly.
86
00:09:13,653.16426531 --> 00:09:18,773.16526531
And I feel like it can be overwhelming for a lot of nonprofit professionals.
87
00:09:18,773.16526531 --> 00:09:23,323.16526531
They're like, well, we've been doing this the same way for 20 years.
88
00:09:23,333.16526531 --> 00:09:24,313.16426531
It's like, how do we just.
89
00:09:24,673.16526531 --> 00:09:33,13.16526531
fully change our focus and adopt all this tech and, you know, what does that even look like? It can be, it can be overwhelming.
90
00:09:33,53.16526531 --> 00:09:37,63.16526531
Especially if you're using a lot of new platforms or tools for the first time.
91
00:09:37,513.16426531 --> 00:09:42,583.16526531
And so evolving is also incremental, right? You can do one piece at a time.
92
00:09:42,968.16526531 --> 00:09:48,278.16526531
And it's not so overwhelming because you're incorporating this on an ongoing basis.
93
00:09:48,298.16526531 --> 00:09:54,518.16526531
And it just is enabling growth in a sustainable and organic way for organizations.
94
00:09:54,858.16526531 --> 00:09:58,528.16526531
And so that's really something that I want to equip people with as well.
95
00:09:58,538.16526531 --> 00:10:05,928.16526531
Because yeah, the last thing I ever want is someone to come and be like, wow, there's so much great things.
96
00:10:06,8.16526531 --> 00:10:09,338.16526531
I learned so much and I have no idea what to do next.
97
00:10:09,338.16526531 --> 00:10:11,418.16526531
You know, because there's so much.
98
00:10:11,638.16526531 --> 00:10:16,98.16526531
Opportunity, but that can in and of itself be a little overwhelming.
99
00:10:16,98.16526531 --> 00:10:26,208.16526531
So I do think that with evolve, we're taking this new approach because we want to say like, Hey, here's the things that you're already doing are really effective.
100
00:10:26,508.16526531 --> 00:10:42,663.16526531
Here's just like a few other ideas of how you can do this throughout the next year in order to drive growth and add to it instead of necessarily you know, Yeah, having people revamp the entire way that they've set up their organization.
101
00:10:43,3.16526531 --> 00:10:47,143.16526531
So there's like some really cool sessions that I think are going to help with that.
102
00:10:47,223.16426531 --> 00:10:50,683.16326531
You know, we have Tucker Wanamaker from Thrive Impact.
103
00:10:51,73.16326531 --> 00:11:14,293.16226531
And so his session is all about like, How do you say no to, like, the things that are, are good in order to say yes to the things that are great? And so I'm really excited for so many of the sessions, but I think that's, you know, just an example of one of the sessions that is going to really equip a lot of nonprofit professionals to move forward with that confidence and, and ability as well.
104
00:11:14,993.16326531 --> 00:11:16,883.16326531
Yeah, I think that's very important.
105
00:11:16,893.16326531 --> 00:11:22,383.16326531
I know whenever I work with clients, it's really the first question.
106
00:11:22,393.16226531 --> 00:11:31,133.16326531
I, the first question I usually ask is like, what are you currently doing now? And then my follow up question is, okay, how's that working? Right.
107
00:11:31,553.16226531 --> 00:11:33,598.06326531
And it's funny that.
108
00:11:33,788.16326531 --> 00:11:37,578.16326531
So often the, what are we doing now is really easy to answer.
109
00:11:37,578.16326531 --> 00:11:46,418.16326531
And when I say, how's that working, they say it's not, but they have maintained it for a long period of time, but it's not working.
110
00:11:46,458.16226531 --> 00:11:51,498.16226531
And maybe one at one point it really did work, but you know so many things have changed.
111
00:11:51,498.16226531 --> 00:11:51,738.16226531
Right.
112
00:11:51,738.16326531 --> 00:12:05,628.16326531
And so the, I think pausing, you have to pause and you have to ask that question, how is this working now? And I, we're at a, we're recording this the 17th of January.
113
00:12:05,628.16326531 --> 00:12:09,298.16326531
I think it's going to be released the 29th, but we'll still be in this first month of the year.
114
00:12:09,858.16326531 --> 00:12:14,618.16226531
I think this is, I think at the beginning of the year, but really you can do it anytime.
115
00:12:15,108.16326531 --> 00:12:22,868.16326531
It's really a great time to pause and say, how is that working for me? And I've learned.
116
00:12:23,163.16326531 --> 00:12:24,633.16326531
I'm trying to add in exercise.
117
00:12:24,633.16326531 --> 00:12:29,893.16326531
I really love exercising, but you know, I haven't found a perfect time for it to work.
118
00:12:29,893.16326531 --> 00:12:39,963.16326531
And so I'm playing around with some different times and, and right now I have, it's working well for me, but when it stops working well for me, I need to figure out, like, I still, I'm still going to love to exercise.
119
00:12:39,963.16326531 --> 00:12:45,783.16326531
I'm just going to need to figure out, okay, how can I do this now? Yeah.
120
00:12:45,783.16326531 --> 00:12:49,53.16326531
I, and I mean, I think that's, that's what it is too.
121
00:12:49,53.16326531 --> 00:12:49,673.16326531
It's, it's.
122
00:12:50,63.16326531 --> 00:13:08,3.16326531
Our, our tagline actually for the event is adapt and thrive in 2025 and so a lot of the times it's maybe like when you ask those questions because I also have a background of working directly with organizations on their I digital fundraising campaigns.
123
00:13:08,3.16326531 --> 00:13:10,283.16326531
And so I did that for, for years and years.
124
00:13:10,733.16326531 --> 00:13:23,383.16226531
And so a lot of the times that would also be a question that I would, I would ask, like, so what, why do you want to do this campaign this way? And a lot of the times the answer would be, oh, because we've always done it this way.
125
00:13:23,383.26226531 --> 00:13:32,723.16226531
A lot of the times it's not even that the campaign or event or idea, whatever they're working on, it doesn't even need to be.
126
00:13:33,68.16326531 --> 00:13:42,528.16326531
Fully like done away with it just might need some adaptations to it so that it can thrive in today's landscape.
127
00:13:42,528.16326531 --> 00:13:51,278.16326531
And so that's what we're also really baking into the, the summit itself is what are those ways that we can adapt and.
128
00:13:51,838.16326531 --> 00:13:57,468.16326531
Set ourselves up to really, really thrive and drive growth in 2025 and beyond.
129
00:13:57,468.16326531 --> 00:14:05,198.16226531
So I am, this summit is so extra special for me in so many ways, but I just feel like this is.
130
00:14:05,688.16326531 --> 00:14:14,198.16226531
Kind of the right message at the right time and really overall empowering and yeah, I'm just really excited for this one.
131
00:14:14,208.16326531 --> 00:14:17,588.16326531
Plus, it's a decades theme.
132
00:14:17,998.16326531 --> 00:14:26,428.16326531
So, we have four stages that are fully, like anyone can join live for free, go to all of the sessions.
133
00:14:26,728.16326531 --> 00:14:29,28.16326531
And then we also have our fifth stage.
134
00:14:29,933.16326531 --> 00:14:31,33.16326531
For the first time ever.
135
00:14:31,453.16326531 --> 00:14:36,383.16326531
And this is a gated stage for our experience plus members.
136
00:14:36,383.16326531 --> 00:14:45,673.16326531
And so these are people who like purchase the experience plus pass, and then they have all a whole stage of exclusive sessions, which are mostly workshop oriented.
137
00:14:45,673.16426531 --> 00:15:11,818.16426531
They're, they're Designed to be a little bit more practical so that you know, you're not just getting the know how you're getting the Real opportunity to put these things into action and walk away with something So that's really what a lot of that stage is is designed for but each stage as you navigate through it, you're kind of on a little journey back and forth through time And so that's that's the idea.
138
00:15:11,928.16426531 --> 00:15:16,208.16426531
Yeah, so we have our main stage is gonna be the 70s.
139
00:15:16,218.16426531 --> 00:15:19,408.16326531
So you'll see me all out in 70s vibes.
140
00:15:19,788.16326531 --> 00:15:23,988.16426531
And then we have our community stage is the 80s.
141
00:15:23,998.16426531 --> 00:15:25,478.16326531
So everyone loves the 80s.
142
00:15:25,518.16326531 --> 00:15:26,798.16326531
That's going to be a lot of fun.
143
00:15:27,298.16426531 --> 00:15:29,868.16426531
We have our 1920s stage.
144
00:15:29,878.16426531 --> 00:15:32,388.16426531
So we're going 100 years back.
145
00:15:32,788.16426531 --> 00:15:36,618.16326531
And that will be a swanky type of experience.
146
00:15:36,638.16426531 --> 00:15:40,913.16426531
And then, you know potentially my, my favorite, but it's, it's.
147
00:15:41,478.16426531 --> 00:16:01,48.16426531
Very, very biased, I'll be honest, is the 2000 stage which I feel like we've officially reached the time of nostalgia for, so I'm taking a little bit of a, like a pop punk, Emo route with that one a very off the wall warped tour sort of vibes.
148
00:16:01,48.16426531 --> 00:16:07,28.16426531
And so that's our, our fourth stage and then our, our fifth stage or experience plus stage is gonna be the sixties.
149
00:16:07,28.16426531 --> 00:16:11,978.16426531
So it's just gonna be a really fun journey, like throughout the whole process too.
150
00:16:11,978.16426531 --> 00:16:14,698.16426531
And yeah, I, I'm really looking forward to it.
151
00:16:15,348.16426531 --> 00:16:16,608.16426531
Oh, no, that's interesting.
152
00:16:16,668.16426531 --> 00:16:18,828.16426531
I'm not very good at dressing up, but I'm gonna have to.
153
00:16:19,188.16426531 --> 00:16:20,758.16426531
I'm going to have to find out what stage I'm on.
154
00:16:20,758.16426531 --> 00:16:24,978.16426531
So I know you're on the you're on the 2000 stage.
155
00:16:24,988.16426531 --> 00:16:26,798.16426531
So I'm on the 2000 stage.
156
00:16:28,208.16326531 --> 00:16:31,168.16426531
I can wear pretty much anything on the 2000 stage.
157
00:16:33,758.16326531 --> 00:16:35,628.16426531
So, well, that's so fun.
158
00:16:35,848.16426531 --> 00:16:36,108.16426531
Yeah.
159
00:16:36,108.16526531 --> 00:16:37,548.16326531
I'm so excited to present.
160
00:16:37,558.16326531 --> 00:16:44,368.1642653
It's it is an amazing opportunity and I'm going to get to present on something that I just.
161
00:16:45,353.1642653 --> 00:16:47,873.1642653
I have fallen in love with it's called ripple mapping.
162
00:16:48,193.1642653 --> 00:16:50,753.1642653
I came across my first ripple map.
163
00:16:50,833.1642653 --> 00:16:53,403.1642653
Oh gosh, it was probably four years ago now.
164
00:16:53,433.1642653 --> 00:17:02,283.1652653
And it's a way of capturing people's experiences with your organization and visualizing it.
165
00:17:03,173.1632653 --> 00:17:05,133.0642653
And the amazing thing is.
166
00:17:05,463.1642653 --> 00:17:11,923.1642653
That we often don't realize how far our reach can go.
167
00:17:12,403.1642653 --> 00:17:22,73.1632653
But, you know, I think that the nonprofit market is such, or the summit is such a great example because so in ripple mapping, you like.
168
00:17:22,453.1642653 --> 00:17:47,143.1642653
Interview people who have been involved with your organization and they can be from the community or they can be from your organization and you ask them how they've been impacted by it and you let them kind of just like below and you get, and then when you're all done, you find themes of you know, where you're doing great, you know, and how some of these connections have been made.
169
00:17:47,643.1642653 --> 00:17:56,748.1642653
But I think about how just From the last one, when I was on, I was on this call and then I went to the Nonprofit411.
170
00:17:56,768.1642653 --> 00:18:08,268.1642653
There I was in a conference with Tim Milwaukee, who has been on my show twice and sponsors actually a space for AI for everyone through Nonprofit411.
171
00:18:08,288.1642653 --> 00:18:09,518.1642653
So like, you know, my.
172
00:18:10,383.1642653 --> 00:18:11,103.1642653
Can get a discount.
173
00:18:11,643.1642653 --> 00:18:16,83.1642653
I had Julia Campbell on, and she's phenomenal.
174
00:18:16,313.1642653 --> 00:18:18,133.1642653
You know, she does social media.
175
00:18:18,433.1642653 --> 00:18:23,113.1642653
She did a social media presentation last year that I really enjoyed how to her on.
176
00:18:23,123.1642653 --> 00:18:32,573.1642653
And then I did not meet Mallory Erickson from what the fundraising, I think Eric sensor lesson on the stage.
177
00:18:32,573.1642653 --> 00:18:34,603.1642653
But I know that she was there last year.
178
00:18:35,208.1642653 --> 00:18:45,998.1642653
And, or she's, you know, but we've connected and so like, you know, and then through them, I got connected with other resources, other people.
179
00:18:46,328.1642653 --> 00:18:52,688.1642653
And so you can see just from my own experience that these ripples just continue.
180
00:18:52,728.1632653 --> 00:18:59,58.1642653
And how exciting is it for an organization to collect those? And be able to talk about their impact in a different way.
181
00:18:59,58.1642653 --> 00:19:00,658.1642653
So I'm so excited to share.
182
00:19:00,678.1642653 --> 00:19:12,848.1642653
I can't wait to see what organizations do with that information and how they utilize it and implement it because it becomes amazing to see how much our nonprofits impact their communities.
183
00:19:14,208.1642653 --> 00:19:16,408.1642653
Yeah, I cannot wait for your session.
184
00:19:16,418.1642653 --> 00:19:22,68.1632653
When you first told me about the concepts of ripple mapping, you blew my mind.
185
00:19:22,78.1642653 --> 00:19:54,688.1642653
So I was like, 100 percent that's going to be on the stage at the summit, because I think that's so valuable because there's so many things where it's like you can report on impact, but you Not every impact is necessarily tangible, and so how do you really share that with your stakeholders, share that with your audiences, where it's like maybe you do a fundraising event, and yeah, you reach your fundraising goal, but also there's all these kind of soft tips.
186
00:19:54,688.1642653 --> 00:19:54,708.1642653
Yeah.
187
00:19:55,373.1642653 --> 00:20:06,433.1642653
Soft, hard to measure pieces that can come out of that, that oh, this person heard about your organization there and then they actually connected you to your next major donor.
188
00:20:06,563.1632653 --> 00:20:40,533.1642653
Like, that's not always something that you're able to report on, but now with this concept, there's going to be so many opportunities to also just show the impact of, you know, what the work you're doing, and also better understand what that, Impact is too, because I think that's one of the things that a lot of nonprofit professionals probably don't know is some of those soft impacts that, you know, they're making every day, but because they're caught up in the day to day, they might not be hearing those things and understanding the full impact.
189
00:20:40,533.1642653 --> 00:20:43,303.1642653
So I just think that's going to be so powerful.
190
00:20:43,303.1642653 --> 00:20:44,63.1642653
I would love.
191
00:20:44,368.1642653 --> 00:20:45,528.1642653
To attend your session.
192
00:20:45,558.1642653 --> 00:20:52,728.1642653
I am going to, while I'm hosting, try to pop in a little bit, but I'll definitely be watching the recording after.
193
00:20:52,738.1642653 --> 00:21:11,943.1642653
And yeah, no, I think what's so amazing about the summit and I'm just so thankful to be in this position where I really do see the summit as the sector leaders coming together to move the sector forward.
194
00:21:12,333.1642653 --> 00:21:17,943.1642653
And so we would be completely lost without all of our sponsors, all of our speakers like you.
195
00:21:18,223.1642653 --> 00:21:20,683.1647653
And you just named some of my favorite people in the world.
196
00:21:20,693.1647653 --> 00:21:24,163.1647653
And everyone is just So, so smart.
197
00:21:24,413.1647653 --> 00:21:30,263.1647653
And I've learned so much from, from all of these speakers and partners as well.
198
00:21:30,263.1647653 --> 00:21:33,133.1647653
And just so excited to have them back.
199
00:21:33,133.1647653 --> 00:21:38,693.1642653
You know, Tim Mallory, Julia, everyone's coming back to the summit this time.
200
00:21:38,693.1642653 --> 00:21:43,643.1647653
And then I'm really excited to have Adrian Sargent.
201
00:21:44,53.1647653 --> 00:21:46,413.1647653
Are you familiar with him? I'm not.
202
00:21:46,423.1647653 --> 00:21:48,203.1647653
I saw that he was going to be there.
203
00:21:48,203.1647653 --> 00:21:50,803.1647653
I want to look him up because I haven't gotten to yet.
204
00:21:51,213.1647653 --> 00:21:53,663.1647653
He is so brilliant.
205
00:21:53,673.1647653 --> 00:21:58,673.1647653
He's a professor of philanthropy at the Institute for Sustainable Philanthropy.
206
00:21:58,953.1647653 --> 00:22:01,703.1647653
He's basically like written the book on philanthropy.
207
00:22:02,333.1647653 --> 00:22:05,873.1642653
And so he we're really excited to have him back at the summit.
208
00:22:05,883.1652653 --> 00:22:07,893.1652653
It's been quite a while since he spoke.
209
00:22:08,243.1642653 --> 00:22:13,493.1642653
So we're, we're talking about growing love in fundraising in that session.
210
00:22:13,493.1642653 --> 00:22:16,63.1642653
And we have just so many really, really great.
211
00:22:16,273.1642653 --> 00:22:21,513.1642653
Speakers, including we just got Neil Patel.
212
00:22:21,723.1642653 --> 00:22:23,673.1642653
I don't know if he means anything to you.
213
00:22:23,743.1642653 --> 00:22:24,523.1642653
I do know that name.
214
00:22:24,523.1642653 --> 00:22:24,953.1642653
Yes.
215
00:22:25,63.1642653 --> 00:22:30,233.1652653
So Neil Patel is joining us for a session closing us out on day one.
216
00:22:30,873.1652653 --> 00:22:44,863.1652653
And we have Jake Wood who co founded team Rubicon and we're doing a fireside chat with him just to really like learn what that whole process was like of, you know, creating that incredible organization and also scaling it to what it is today.
217
00:22:45,708.1652653 --> 00:22:51,448.1652653
And then we're going to hear from the one and only Deepak Chopra joining us.
218
00:22:51,588.1652653 --> 00:22:53,138.1652653
Yes, that's so exciting.
219
00:22:54,958.1652653 --> 00:23:00,328.1652653
So we're, we're having just like a stack, stacked speaker lineup this time.
220
00:23:00,328.1662653 --> 00:23:12,438.1662653
So I'm just, I'm just so thankful and excited to provide this opportunity for just honestly so many smart people to join us and show their stuff.
221
00:23:13,923.1662653 --> 00:23:15,963.1662653
So that's what I love about my podcast too.
222
00:23:15,993.1662653 --> 00:23:21,533.1662653
I just get to like talk with all these amazing people who do amazing things and it's so fun.
223
00:23:22,473.1662653 --> 00:23:23,823.1662653
It's so fun.
224
00:23:23,873.1662653 --> 00:23:31,783.1652653
And also, you know, like it's such a great resource that, you know, not, not many things like this are free and available.
225
00:23:31,813.1662653 --> 00:23:32,733.1662653
And so.
226
00:23:33,263.1662653 --> 00:23:46,193.1662653
And, and, you know, with a lot of in person conferences, you got to have some budget set aside for that, you know, cause it's not cheap to fly out and pay for the ticket and you know, pay for all of your travel expenses.
227
00:23:46,193.1662653 --> 00:23:53,793.1662653
You know, there, there's something about being virtual that makes this really accessible to, to anyone with a laptop or even a phone.
228
00:23:53,813.1662653 --> 00:23:55,93.1662653
So, yeah.
229
00:23:55,538.1662653 --> 00:24:10,138.1662653
I'll tell you something I didn't do last year that I did do this year is last year I didn't block the full days on my calendar, and I have all of those days blocked so that I'm sure I'm attending as many as I can.
230
00:24:10,898.1652653 --> 00:24:17,758.1662653
So I recommend that to any of our listeners, if you're going to go, make sure you block the time, you will want to be fully present.
231
00:24:18,453.1662653 --> 00:24:22,473.1662653
You'll be wanting to be able to take those screenshots as they present.
232
00:24:22,783.1662653 --> 00:24:32,403.1662653
And then you will probably also want to be you know, paying for the recordings because you're going to miss all this amazing stuff when you're going to the ones that you're actually in.
233
00:24:32,403.1672653 --> 00:24:37,33.1672653
So like, there's not, you know, there's not enough time in a day to do it all in.
234
00:24:37,468.1672653 --> 00:24:38,478.1672653
In three days.
235
00:24:38,548.1672653 --> 00:24:38,928.1672653
Right.
236
00:24:39,658.1672653 --> 00:24:46,828.1662653
But so, and I will drop a link to the conference in the notes in the show notes here.
237
00:24:47,808.1662653 --> 00:24:53,408.1652653
How else can they reach you, Candace, if they want to reach you and get ahold of you.
238
00:24:54,643.1662653 --> 00:25:06,743.1662653

Yeah.
244
00:25:53,893.1662653 --> 00:26:05,733.1662653
The other thing I wanted to say to you, cause I want my listeners to understand that like, this is called the Nonprofit411, but there is so much information that goes so far beyond just marketing.
245
00:26:06,113.1672653 --> 00:26:10,253.1662653
It fundraising is intimately involved with marketing.
246
00:26:10,823.1672653 --> 00:26:11,173.1672653
Right.
247
00:26:11,543.1662653 --> 00:26:15,53.1672653
So it's marketing it's fundraising.
248
00:26:15,343.1672653 --> 00:26:16,593.1672653
It is just.
249
00:26:16,988.1672653 --> 00:26:23,138.1672653
Any type of nonprofit professional development, you really get a little bit of everything here.
250
00:26:23,238.1672653 --> 00:26:28,188.1662653
Even human resources, you know, even human resources, there's, you know, things that are touched on in there.
251
00:26:28,188.1672653 --> 00:26:31,558.1662653
So it's such a dynamic and amazing program.
252
00:26:31,628.1662653 --> 00:26:33,568.1667653
I cannot wait to be there.

254
00:26:39,418.1672653 --> 00:26:42,408.1672653
And I hope that we make another record year.
255
