In the past, you may have heard Clark Vandeventer talk about adding steps to the process. The more you elongate the major gift process and slowly bring your donors along, the safer you'll be. Clark recently heard Amazon Founder Jeff Bezos share the same idea with the phrase, "Slow is smooth and smooth is fast." The phrase "slow is smooth and smooth is fast" is a military saying that emphasizes the importance of taking time to do things carefully and methodically, rather than rushing and risking mistakes. It can also be thought of as the power of strategic thinking and deliberate action. Clark also shared in this episode that We are giving away FREE ACCESS to MasterClass!

It's another Masterclass inspired episode. In this episode, Clark Vandeventer shares some of his notes from Robin Arzón's MasterClass on Mental Strength. Robin Arzón is an exercise instructor and author, best known as an instructor at Peloton, for which she is also the Vice President of Fitness Programming. Clark shares an incredible mental test he picked up from Robin for you to use whenever you hear yourself saying, "I don't have time." Her JOY METRIC also inspired a twist on a mental exercise Clark has been doing for 20+ years. Great quotes from Robin: "The pursuit of movement unlocks endorphins but the pursuit of movement also enables us to have a relationship with discomfort and discomfort becomes less scary. so when things get real like when a capital r in our lives we have these smaller less intense, hopefully less stress inducing moments where we rose above. I believe that willpower and resiliency are also muscles worth exercising and they really go hand in hand so when you are willing to get uncomfortable physically you become tenacious mentally and I talk about ritualizing discomfort because we create a ritual around I'm going to go this distance today or I'm going to push this intensity today." "Pain will become power."

Clark Vandeventer interviews George Beals about Azerbaijan. In 2014, George became the Director of Strategic Development for World Hope International. Before serving with World Hope, George served his local church as the Pastor of Global Ministries for over two decades. He was the very first missions pastor in his denomination. While serving as the missions pastor, his church was involved in sending their people short-term and long-term cross-culturally. George led the church to strategize their part in fulfilling the Great Commission. George earned a Doctor of Applied Intercultural Studies degree with a concentration in International Relief and Development. His research was on training Christian business professionals who are working cross-culturally. George is the director of the missions pastor forum for West Michigan, which brings together mission pastors and mission agency leaders to exchange ideas. In 2019, George participated in the United Nations High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development in New York City. Sometimes, in humanitarian work, and in relief and development work, we can do more harm than good. I have spent a lot of time thinking about these unintended consequences, and how we can do relief and development work that helps without hurting. I've thought a LOT about this, but George has thought a LOT more than me. He's studied it. And he has experience in it. He's traveled to 45+ countries -- some that no longer exist. In this interview we focus on the country of Azerbaijan.

They have identified their family values being WELL-BEING, CONNECTION, CREATIVITY, and ADVENTURE. And Travel is how they live their value of adventure together. A lot of really cool perspectives in this interview -- and I sort of feel like Spain was just a jumping off point to get them to talk about lots of cool things they have come to know through their deliberate travels -- but -- I loved their individual answers at the end of this interview about their top experiences in Spain. Don't miss Angela talking about Sagrada Familia or James talking about Running with the Bulls! But there is so much in this interview about the routines and rhythms of life in Spain and how that has helped them more intentionally shape their life back home in Southern Utah.

"Travel is one of the best personal development tools. You voluntarily insert yourself into situations where you don't understand everything, where the culture and thinking is different, and you maneuver through the frustration, the celebration and the new experiences. " - Sabina King You've got to hear Sabina King talk about Bali! Nyepi is a Balinese "Day of Silence" and her description and analysis in this episode is fascinating! In this episode Clark Vandeventer interviews Sabina King. Sabina and her family were based in Bali -- or used Bali as a homebase -- for 5 years -- and she still has Airbnbs in Bali. In this interview we talk about her family's move from Chicago to Denver -- and Denver to Costa Rica -- and then Costa Rica to Bali. Clark became acquainted with Sabina and her family around 2010 or 11 when he and his wife had crashed and burned and were trying to re-invent their life. At that time, blogs were a big thing -- and they got connected with so many cool people around the world. Sabina was one of those people. Sabina is someone who knows how to build a life around the things that she values. Born in Poland. Her family immigrated to America when she was 5 years old. Sabina has been around the world -- lots of travel -- all over Central America, Western Europe, New Zealand, Australia, Fiji, Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Korea, Mexico, Canada -- to name a few. Asheland, Oregon has been their base over the past few years.

A Passion For Purpose, Peak Performance, and Inspiring Others In this episode, Clark Vandeventer interviews Greg Denning aboute life in France. "You can go somewhere and not experience anything but I wanted it to touch me and and reach me and change me and instruct me, and I wanted to squeeze the juice out of everywhere we went, and it really affected me, it really impacted me, and I'm like, 'man I want this for my family,' and I wanna connect with the people in the places all around the world." "But there's there's a few things in France that just stand out, like the food culture... It seems like a simple thing but they take it so serious... And and you take something simple like the ingredients that are everywhere in the world and they make it taste amazing. .. they're taking the same ingredients and they're operating at this level of excellence. And you see it in the museums, and you see it in the art, and you see it in the music, and you see it in the language, and then then you go into the alps." About Greg: Out on his own by the age of 16, Greg experienced years of hardship, loneliness, hunger, homelessness, and discouragement. He struggled desperately to find the answers that would bring him a life of real happiness, success, and fulfillment. Through the power of life-changing books (an average of one book a week for over two decades) he was able to catch a vision of the life he wanted to create for himself, and then take action to bring it about. Greg transformed his mindset, heartset, and skillset in order to design and create the extraordinary life he dreamed of living! Today he is married to the woman of his dreams and they have seven wonderful children. As a family, their big dream is to travel to as many countries as possible and to connect with the amazing people and places of the world. So far they have traveled and lived in more than 55 countries on 5 continents, while Greg has the incredible privilege of being a keynote speaker, trainer, and high-performance executive life/business coach to ambitious parents. Greg is passionate, even obsessed, about peak human performance, health and fitness, education, adventure, travel, and inspiring everyone he meets to Reach Upward for their full potential. Every day he lives to help people believe in themselves, think differently about their lives, and create the EXTRAORDINARY Family Life they dream about. Greg is the host of the Extraordinary Family Life podcast, and he and Rachel are the co-creators of The Extraordinary Family Life Formula.

Your host Clark Vandeventer is launching a new interview series on the podcast! From Clark: As a traveler, when I visit a new country, I don't expect it to look like my country. In fact, I WANT it to look and be different! But my home country, the United States, is a country of immigrants, and one thing that's great about America is that we've taken the best stuff from all over the world and made it ours. So when I travel and find something cool in another country, I ask the question, "Why don't we do that?" In this new podcast series -- this spinoff -- well -- not a spinoff because we're wrapping it in. But -- in this series -- I invite a guest on the show to share something cool they've discovered in some far corner of the world and ask, "Why don't we do that?"

7,000 islands and 44 Million People. That's more people than Canada. But, how do you pronounce it? Is it "care-ib-BEE-an" or "cuh-RIB-be-an"? Look at those bright blue waters around the Bahamas. Let's talk about Alexander Hamilton. And Pirates! This is a Caribbean overview episode before host Clark Vandeventer moves to specific islands in forthcoming episodes.

England is like the land of Great Works! We didn't even have time to talk about William Shakespeare, or William Wilberforce, or Charles Darwin. David Beckham barely got a mention, though David Beckham's right foot and David Beckham's left foot were both specifically mentioned. Even Winston Churchill only get a few lines at the end of this episode. Also, a Queen of England called the Spanish the "foul scum of Europe!" In this episode, host Clark Vandeventer talks about England -- the big piece on the island of Great Britain and the (by far) most populpous country of the four countries that make up the United Kingdom.

Two of the most famous Scots in history are highly fictionalized acounts. One is William Wallace. The other is Macbeth, fictionalized by William Shakespeare. But you can't talk about Scotland without quoting and heavily referencing Mel Gibson's epic portrayl of William Wallace in the movie Braveheart. Scotland is part of the United Kingdom, home to about 5 Million people, and, probably the place where the game of golf was invented.

About 6 Million people live in the two countries that occupy the island of Ireland. There are about 80 Million people in the world who claim Irish Ancestry.

11:22 - "If you have a donor who you think could give a million dollars, don't spend two years cultivating them for a million dollar gift." In this episode, Clark Vandeventer emphasizes the importance of balancing relationship-building and asking for gifts in fundraising. While it's crucial to cultivate relationships with potential donors and avoid coming across as someone who is always asking for money, it's also necessary to let people know that you are a fundraiser. Timing is also crucial, as it's recommended to ask for smaller gifts early on in the relationship to gauge a donor's interest and willingness to give, rather than spending a lot of time cultivating them for a larger gift. Clark suggests that fundraisers should identify potential donors who can give early gifts without much cultivation. These early gifts can help fundraisers determine the level of giving that a donor is capable of and can lead to larger donations in the future. Clark advises that fundraisers need to become known as fundraisers at some point in order to ask for donations effectively. However, they should also be mindful of not getting a reputation of always asking for money in every conversation. Clark also discusses the question of how long one should cultivate a donor before asking for a gift. Clark explains that there is no set timeline for this and that fundraising is not a science. Clark gives examples of meeting with a donor 19 times before asking for a major gift and also meeting with donors and asking for a gift on the first meeting. The timeline for cultivating donors can vary based on the type of gift being asked for. For example, for a major gift, it may take longer to cultivate the donor, while for a smaller gift, the cultivation process may be shorter Overall, the episode emphasizes the importance of cultivating donors, but also highlights the need for flexibility and adapting to each individual donor and situation. Fundraisers need to find a balance between building relationships and making asks, as both are crucial for successful fundraising. By identifying potential donors and strategically asking for early gifts to determine their level of giving, fundraisers can increase their chances of success.

In this episode Clark Vandeventer gives an update on where he is in the process of "Dealing with 40" now that he has nine months of experience in his 40s.

In this episode Clark Vandeventer introduces the Dealing with 40 Project. In short, Clark's had a really hard time dealing with 40. And he's spent a lot of time processing where he is and how he has not lived up to his own expectations. He's wanted to talk to people. To go back to old mentors and talk with them. To talk to some of the men and women who knew him when he was 20 years old. And they're 60 or 80 now. Talk with other people he looks up to who are a little older and a little wiser and talk with them about life. And ask questions like, "Did you feel this way when you were 40?" Dealing with 40 is a series of interviews where Clark asks deep questions about life. From Clark: This a declaration, a plea, and an invitation. A declaration to live and to seek my destiny. A declaration to become the very best version of myself and to do great things. A plea that you would be patient with me, and with others. I have issues and I'm insecure. Please give me grace and know that even if I say something foolish or do something wrong that my heart is in the right place. Remember this of others too. Be kind. I'm guessing that you have your issues too. So please, please, let us affirm one another. I think we all probably spend enough time condemning ourselves. An invitation to join me on this journey. Lean in with me. Share the lessons that you have learned and the perspective you have gained. Listen to the wisdom shared by the people I interview as a part of this project. Commit to being the best version of yourself.

What would you do if you left your big-shot corporate gig to pursue an entrepreneurial venture which then fell apart? And then you ran for public office? And lost. And then wound up living in your in-law's garage completely flat broke. Would you then go back, admit defeat, and rejoin the corporate grind? Or, would you continue pursuing your dream lifestyle in a systematic way? My guest today went through that exact process of life. And he's systematically worked to build his dream lifestyle with his family. Today we sit down with Clark Vandeventer, author of "unWorking: Exit the Rat Race, Live Like a Millionaire, And Be Happy Now." Clark has a very encouraging story to share and a wealth of experience in building his ideal lifestyle on the cheap. Enjoy!

Over the weekend, I was reading the book "unWorking: Exit the Rat Race, Live Like a Millionaire, And Be Happy Now" by Clark Vandeventer while sitting in a tire repair shop, waiting for my tire to be patched. When I came to this page, I stopped. And then I had an epiphany. When you're very, very clear on what you want, it's simple and easy to decide what to do. But when you don't know what you want, it's almost impossible to decide what to do. So, do you know what you want? Enjoy the show!
