A listen of this special episode will be sure to make you think differently about change and innovation as Shoe-in Show’s Andy Polk philosophizes about all the changes to traditional footwear business models — giving some deep thought to the nature of successful companies innovating, the true nature of the changing consumer and why it could mean Amazon doesn’t continue to dominate eCommerce in the future. Taped during FDRA’s Retail Revolution Summit, Shoe-in’s famed producer Blake Althen makes his full debut as a special co-host helping push Andy to open up more on what FDRA sees taking place across the industry.

So you’re thinking about jumping out of a plane - for fun, of course. But how easy is it to pull that off, let alone pull the ripcord? On this week’s episode, hosts Blake Althen and Ernesto Gluecksmann talk skydiving with guest Nancy Koreen, Director of Sport Promotion with the United States Parachute Association (USPA). With both a national and international presence, the USPA is a nonprofit organization committed to helping educate and facilitate all things skydiving. Nancy explains her role as a promotor of this classic thrillseeker’s sport, as well as the high importance of safety, training and accountability in skydiving. Nancy also discusses skydiving as a progressive learning experience. With skills ranging from assisted beginner’s jumps, to freefalls, to group diving and acrobatic formations, there’s always room to learn and grow, even in the wide open sky - but always with a vital grasp on safety. So check out this episode of Through the Noise - no skydiver’s certification required! Nancy Koreen has been the director of sport promotion for the U.S. Parachute Association for the past seven years. She has been skydiving for more than 20 years and has completed more than 8,000 jumps. The United States Parachute Association is a non-profit association dedicated to the promotion of safe skydiving nationwide, establishing strict safety standards, training policies and programs at more than 240 USPA-affiliated skydiving schools and centers throughout the U.S.

Ron Barrett sat down with Ernesto Gluecksmann and Blake Althen to give a sobering view of the challenges that nonprofits face when they solicit charitable contributions across state lines (or country borders). That "donate now" button on an organization's website has a lot of regulatory implications that nonprofits must carefully understand to avoid running afoul with the IRS or state regulators. Fortunately, there's help. Ron Barrett is the Vice President of Nonprofit Services at National Corporate Research, Ltd., where he developed a comprehensive suite of nonprofit services, including corporate filings, charitable solicitation registrations, compliance filings, and sales tax exemption management. He is the co-author of Nonprofit Fundraising Registration: The 50-State Guide (Nolo, 2nd Ed., Nov. 2012), has authored numerous articles, and has presented public and in-house CLE seminars on state charitable registration requirements around the country. National Corporate Research is a professional registered agent company that provides nationwide corporate, secured transaction, business license, and nonprofit services.
