    This Week on The Heart of Giving Podcast, Ben Erwin, CEO of Charity Buzz, reveals how his organization has transformed fundraising by creating a marketplace for unique experiences that benefits nonprofits of all sizes. Three compelling moments:   "Our mission at Charity Buzz is to deliver the most unique and exciting inventory opportunities on the Internet for good... a curated marketplace for people to live out their wildest dreams while also getting a chance to support terrific charitable organizations."   "We found out in a really exciting way that the chance to spend time with a CEO, with a fund manager, with a titan of industry actually has the potential to raise more money than a celebrity experience. The beauty is most charities have relationships with business leaders."   "Giving as a percentage of GDP has not changed in the last 50 to 60 years in this country... Yet the number of charities during that time has increased by 40x. So I don't know how we expect charities to maintain their programs, scale their impact if the relative size of the pie has not changed."   Last week, Christa Stelzmuller of Charity Water shared how innovative technology is transforming both global water access and donor engagement. From VR experiences that simulate water walks to hologram boxes that connect donors with communities, her team is using cutting-edge tech to build empathy and support for the 700 million people worldwide who lack basic access to clean water.

Send us a textDid you catch last week's episode on ditching formality? I'm so excited to dive a little deeper into the concept today with the idea of breaking the fourth wall and why it's so crucial, especially as we approach the critical year-end fundraising season. Breaking the fourth wall is all about ditching the formality and inviting your audience, your donors, to be a true part of the narrative. By creating these interactive, authentic moments, you can build deeper, more lasting relationships, not just transactional interactions. You'll hear about examples from TV, film, and businesses that have mastered this approach, showing how it earns trust, boosts organic reach, and ultimately drives higher donations and retention. You'll learn how to identify ways you can incorporate breaking the fourth wall into your upcoming campaigns and communications, whether it's a vulnerable email, a behind-the-scenes social post, or getting your team and advocates involved. The key is taking that first step to make your donors feel truly connected to your mission. Ready? Topics:What it means to break the fourth wall, which is most often seen in entertainment, but how you can apply it to your nonprofit How breaking the fourth wall increases authenticity, story creation, and extends your reach to build deeper relationships Examples from Toms, Charity Water, Patagonia, and more on how they're breaking the fourth wall really well The collateral benefits (support, engagement, participation, etc.) you may experience when breaking the fourth wall Action steps you can take today to start the process of breaking the fourth wall For a full list of links and resources mentioned in this episode, click here.Connect with Christina on Instagram: @splendidconsulting>> Book a Growth Strategy CallThink you've reached out to “everyone” in your network?

For this episode, David is joined by Christa Steizmuller the CTO Chief Technology Officer of CharityWater. She explains how they bring clean water to people. They discuss why transparency, trust, and technology are so important, particularly in the context of Charity Water's 100% model. A way of working that means one set of donors covers all operating costs, while 100% of what small donors give is spent directly on water projects. David & Christa discuss how non-profits work, what for-profits can learn from them and how they can collaborate more closely. To explore how to get unstuck on your mission, put your purpose into practice and convert your ideas into impact book a discovery call with David here https://calendly.com/david-peoplewithpurpose/30min KEY TAKEAWAYS Over 700 million people are living without clean water. 10 years ago, it was 1 billion. Water infrastructure is expensive; many countries can´t afford to build it, so many use private water companies. The water points are fitted with sensors to spot issues early. CharityWater always looks at existing simple tech first to see if that can be used and improved. Use your data to tell compelling stories. Non-profits work under a lot of constraints; this makes them very innovative. Stick to your mission, and continually pivot to achieve it. Take care of your team, in particular, their mental health and don´t overwork them. BEST MOMENTS ‘They are safe in knowing that 100% of their donation goes directly to projects.' ‘These sensors didn´t exist, we had to build them ourselves.' ‘Every single piece of information that we have is an asset.' ‘How successfully you can continue to pivot is what ultimately drives your success.' EPISODE RESOURCES https://www.charitywater.org/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/cstelzmuller/ ABOUT THE SHOW People with purpose make a difference. Imagine a world where more people can just get their purpose out of them, into a plan and then actually make it happen. What a world that would be - People everywhere finding meaning and harnessing that to bring inspiration and energy to each and every day, changing lives for the better. But no one ever achieved anything on their own - we all have something unique to bring and that means we all have to play our part - if we want to go far, we have to go together and lead or serve towards a vision of the world we want to see.

The discussion kicks off with Chidi reflecting on his foundational years at renowned advertising agencies like Gray and BBH, where he learned valuable lessons about strategic thinking, creative storytelling, and relationship management. These skills were put to use while managing the Levi's account globally and contributing to the establishment of BBH New York. We cover Chidi's shift to the client side with Nike, where he led a creative team to relaunch the iconic Cole Haan brand, aiming to attract a younger demographic. This diverse background culminated in Chidi landing into his current role as Chief Product Officer at Huge, where he focuses on integrating AI and technology to create 'intelligent experiences' that are highly personalised and conversational. The episode also touches on maintaining long-term client relationships, the shift toward outcome-based agency models, and the critical role of visionary leadership. The episode also touches on the Chidi's involvement with Charity Water, an organisation I am a huge fan of since my time in non profits, and we discuss their commitment to leveraging technology for transparency and impactful communication in the nonprofit sector.

For this episode, David is joined by Hannah Bellamy, the MD of Charity: Water UK, whose mission is to bring clean water to the 703 million people living without it. Hannah explains how they tailor their solution to each community, and then monitor and maintain it to ensure the long-term availability of clean water.

Using sensors enables them to monitor how well each system is working. An approach that makes Charity Water fully accountable and highly effective. The vision doesn´t change, but the goals underneath it that fulfil the vision do evolve. BEST MOMENTS ‘Everything starts with water… nothing is actually possible without clean water.' ‘It comes down really to cultural processes, systems.' ‘There is a certain fluidity and autonomy into how you get there.' ‘It's not just about an organization. I think it's how different people work together.' GUEST BIO Originally from Dorset, Hannah has lived all over England and in Scotland, Norway, Alaska, Abu Dhabi, India, and Texas. Her degree in English and American Literature launched her career in publishing, but she transitioned into corporate responsibility and then the nonprofit world.

In this episode of the Millionaire Mindcast, we have a return guest from episode 2, David Osborn who shares insights and wisdom on how to navigate entrepreneurship in today's environment, why spending money and enjoying life matters, how to deal with impostor syndrome, how to be successful in real estate, and smart and strategic way to build wealth!  David is a father, an incredible entrepreneur, real estate investor, speaker, and wealth-building mentor,  traveler, author of the best-selling book “Wealth Can't Wait”, co-founder of GoBundance, an accountability-based group of entrepreneurs, and sits on the board of the 1Life Fully Lived non-profit, a member of YPO/WPO Austin and TIGER 21, and contributes to various causes from fighting cancer to building clean water wells through Charity Water. He is also the principal owner of the 6th largest real estate company in the US, operating principal and/or investor in five Keller Williams Regions and nine Market Centers owns 20+ real estate related ventures, principle of an REI private equity group, and the operator of over 35 profitable real estate-related businesses in the US and Canada.   David got around with wealth as a kid. At a young age, he decided to be rich like his uncle. He was a great student and worked very hard throughout his life. He believes that it takes some sacrifice, some process, and some pain to build wealth. At 37, David bought his first new car. He realized that although he needed to live below his means but also spending money and enjoying life really matters. In spite of being successful in his journey, David shows up being humble and always shows the eagerness to learn from high-level people. He keeps looking for winners who can teach him anything that would be useful to reach his goals. Besides, he is a black mamba when it comes to his goals. David strikes, sleeps with the approach, and gets his goals done. In fact, he maintains a habit tracker that tracks all the things he wants to get through. Also, he tried to give value to others by any means like through his wealth-building mentorship. Now, David has 101 single-family homes and makes a million a year without doing anything. His best advice, don't wait and waste time buying real estate. Do it now! Some Questions I Ask: Where did your journey start? (03:04) When did you actually start to feel rich?

(24:53) What has been your secret to success in terms of bringing really exceptionally talented and skilled but also just well-rounded human beings into your world? (28:13) What is it that keeps you consistently committed to that discipline of networking, of education, of growth? How did you stay complacent in the world that many people would say is ideal and you don't need to do anything anymore?  (31:57) What were some of the things that showed for you last year and what you may be focusing on this year in terms of growth? (34:49) What do you see the opportunities that you're focused on maybe in your world and what are you hearing in some of the networks that you're involved in? What are people excited about? Where's the money flowing to right now? (39:45) What's your message to the people that want to build wealth and create an amazing lifestyle for themselves and the reality of the timeline and the discipline to unlock it?  (45:07) In This Episode, You Will Learn: Living below your means while spending money and enjoying life (11:25) Likability Formula & Internal Family Systems Concept (19:42) Quotes:  “Life always boils down to a decision: Do you want to be wealthy or not?” “Don't wait to buy real estate, buy real estate and wait.” “Repetition is the mother of all success.” Connect with David Osborn on:  Website Instagram Wealth Can't Wait book by David Osborn Sponsor Links: HelloFresh: Visit https://hellofresh.com/50mindcast or Use the code 50MINDCAST to get 50% off plus free shipping!
