We are so excited for another (crossover!) episode with one of our most favorite people: small-town nonprofit expert and fun-haver, Patrick Kirby. This episode is all about how small town nonprofits can raise more money and create a bigger impact.    About Patrick Patrick Kirby is the Founder of Do Good Better Consulting and a believer that “we've always done it this way” is the most dangerous phrase in the English language.    Patrick has spent over a decade working in nearly every capacity in the nonprofit industry, for organizations of all shapes and sizes, and strives to ‘Do Good Better' every day. From organizing $10,000 cure walks to $1 million galas, Patrick's passion lies in creating creative solutions to make fundraising less boring.   He cut his donor relations/fundraising teeth as the Alumni Coordinator at the Academy of Holy Angels in Richfield, MN, before trying his hand as a manufacturing sales rep to companies such as Target and Best Buy. Tired of being yelled at for uncontrollable international shipping issues in both English and Chinese, Patrick re-joined the world of nonprofit work as the Sr. Development Director at the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation MN/Dakotas Chapter before taking the Chief Development Officer position at the Anne Carlsen Center.   He earned his B.A. in “B.S.” (politics) at Loras College in Dubuque, IA, and is hopelessly addicted to super nerdy Sci-Fi/Fantasy novels and old school SquareSoft ® RPG Nintendo games. Patrick married out of his league to his wife Shannon, has three ridiculously adorable children named Spencer, Preston, and Willow, and lives in West Fargo, ND.   In this episode, we cover: The unique struggles of small town non-profits Why we need to be more intentional with our giving  Why we need to say no to form letters What steps to take to transform your fundraising What the future of impactful, aligned philanthropy looks like   Links and Resources Mentioned: Do Good Better Consulting Website: https://www.dogoodbetterconsulting.com/ Do Good Better Consulting Podcast: https://www.dogoodbetterconsulting.com/dogoodbetterpodcast

On today's show, we're joined by Rebecca's good friend, Patrick Kirby, to talk about how to move forward with purpose during this difficult time. When all our events are being canceled and the “way we've always done it” won't work anymore, we need to get creative and Patrick's a great guy to spitball with. He recently moved up his in-person conference 3 whole months to offer it virtually because he knew his audience needed it. He shares the best of what he learned to help us make a similar positioning.  Purposeful Repositioning Episode Summary: Patrick Kirby, non-profit organization champion and virtual event pioneer, offers some great ideas for all of us who host events for our businesses or communities to purposefully reposition so we can still serve our people well. About Patrick Kirby: Patrick Kirby is the Founder of Do Good Better Consulting and a believer that “we've always done it this way” is the most dangerous phrase in the English language. ​​​​ Patrick has spent over a decade working in nearly every capacity in the nonprofit industry, for organizations of all shapes and sizes, and strives to ‘Do Good Better' every day. From organizing $10,000 cure walks to $1 million galas, Patrick's passion lies in creating creative solutions to make fundraising less boring. He cut his donor relations/fundraising teeth as the Alumni Coordinator at the Academy of Holy Angels in Richfield, MN, before trying his hand as a manufacturing sales rep to companies such as Target and Best Buy. Tired of being yelled at for uncontrollable international shipping issues in both English and Chinese, Patrick re-joined the world of nonprofit work as the Sr. Development Director at the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation MN/Dakotas Chapter before taking the Chief Development Officer position at the Anne Carlsen Center. He earned his B.A. in “B.S.” (politics) at Loras College in Dubuque, IA, and is hopelessly addicted to super nerdy Sci-Fi/Fantasy novels and old school SquareSoft ® RPG Nintendo games. Patrick married out of his league to his wife Shannon, has three ridiculously adorable children named Spencer, Preston and Willow, a chunky dog named Grover, and lives in West Fargo, ND.   In this episode, we tackle… What's a question we should all be asking ourselves right now? Pulling out the standard “leadership seminar” concept of brainstorming your BHAG (big, hairy, audacious goal) Patrick suggests that this challenging time when everything has slowed way down is a great time to actually do this.  What is it that you really want to accomplish? Define it and then figure out what easy, simple things you can do to get there.  What's the most important thing we can do for the people we serve? Pick up the phone, reach out, and simply ask, “What can I do to help you?” More important than whether they actually need you or you end up serving them specifically, the fact that you offer is what keeps you and your business top-of-mind.    Listen to this episode to hear more about: How to overcome the mental hurdle of accepting this challenging time as reality What grace as to do with repositioning your offers How to create meaning when the events you always hosted can't happen Why purpose matters and how it can open up new ideas for offers/services Why now is the best time to pursue partnerships/collaborations In what ways virtual events can be even better than in-person events, even though every part of you wants to resist this!

We were in the studio today with Kelli Dayrit, Outreach and Alumni Coordinator with Lord Fairfax Community College along with two of her former Student Ambassadors: Emily Hammersley, class of 2018 & Eric Bittner, class of 2017. Emily & Eric told us about their experience as Student Ambassadors, what they learned, and how it has (and will continue) to help them further their education and careers. Emily has chosen to become a mentor within the I'm Just Me Movement before transferring to GMU. Eric has joined the marketing team with Mayor Harbaugh and the Middletown Fourth of July Celebration. In the future, he plans to run for public office to advocate for his fellow Virginians. Student Ambassadors are a group of students dedicated to developing interest, pride, and participation in the growth of the college, and to increasing feelings of loyalty, service-driven partnership and fellowship between the college, students, alumni and the community. During their time as Student Ambassadors, students grow in their appreciation for service and become more aware of how they can make a difference. After they graduate, many Ambassadors choose to get involved in their four-year institutions or take on leadership roles within the workplace. Kelli also told us about the opportunity for LFCC alumni to become more involved with the college. She asked that any former LFCC graduates contact her to discuss how they can support current students and further the school's goals in the community. You can email Kelli: kdayrit@lfcc.edu

In the past 40 years, the American prison population has increased from 300,000 to 1.6 million. This week, Samantha and Remoy examine the prison industrial complex and the cyclical impacts of mass incarceration on men and society. They are joined by Alejo Rodriguez who faced incarceration himself before becoming the Mentor and Alumni Coordinator at the Prison Reentry Institute and shares his wisdom, weighing in on the dehumanization and intergenerational perpetuation of incarceration, how bullies are rewarded and how men are only allowed to deal with anger and pain.
