The Do One Better! Podcast – Philanthropy, Sustainability and Social Entrepreneurship
Patrick Dunne, author of "Boards", joins host Alberto Lidji on the Do One Better Podcast for a timely conversation on how boards can become more effective, more agile and more valuable. Drawing on the third edition of his book "Boards", Patrick explores how governance is changing in a world shaped by AI, faster decision making, dynamic strategy, rising uncertainty and more complex risk. He looks at the growing role of AI in boardrooms, from summarising papers and tracking regulatory change to supporting better decisions, while also considering where human judgement remains essential. Patrick also discusses the increasing importance of subcommittees, the value of bringing domain experts and next generation voices into governance, and why advisory boards may not always be the best way to access external insight. He reflects on trustee remuneration, generational diversity and the need for boards to move beyond traditional meeting formats. A highly practical episode for board members, chairs, chief executives, trustees, philanthropists and social entrepreneurs who want to strengthen governance and make better decisions. Patrick's executive experience includes 26 years in a variety of investment and management roles with 3i Group plc where, until 2012, he was Communications Director, a member of its Operating committee and Chairman of its Operational Risk forum.

AI can give you words. But it can't give you judgment. This episode is a live recording from Localist Lab, the free monthly marketing event series for small business owners in Birmingham. Janna Stevens, Communications Director at Infomedia, takes the stage to walk a live audience through writing with AI. Janna is a career writer. She has spent years honing grammar, voice and style. She talks about what AI is actually good at, where it falls short, and how to use it without losing your voice. Janna covers where AI helps: beating blank page paralysis, drafting structured writing, repurposing content, editing for length, grammar checks, document summarization, research and brainstorming. She also covers where it falls short: average output, flattening your voice, not knowing your audience, sameness across the internet, and the iteration loop that often takes longer than just writing it yourself. Then she shares practical tips for getting better AI output, including building richer prompts, asking AI to critique instead of create, and deleting the first paragraph almost every time. If you've been wondering how to use AI for your small business writing without sounding like everyone else, this is a clear and honest guide from a writer who is using it every day. ___________________________________ Mentioned in This Episode Claude (AI assistant) Claude Cowork ChatGPT Google Gemini NotebookLM Pam Darden's SEO for the AI Era talk at Localist Lab Luke Richey email marketing episode of The Localist Uptick Marketing Tempo Websites Infomedia Studios _______________________________________________________________________________ Thanks to Our Sponsor, Infomedia The Localist is sponsored by Infomedia, a Birmingham-based web and digital marketing company that helps small businesses get big results online.

It's the gift that will keep giving! Fox Valley Technical College just received a generous donation of land that they're already putting to work for students. Kiley Allan gets the story from Paul Groell, Department Chair Natural Resources Program @ Fox Valley Technical College. Fox Valley Technical College received an anonymous donation of a 160-acre plot of land, intended to preserve the habitat from development and serve as an educational tool for the school's two-year Natural Resources program. The property acts as a powerhouse of biodiversity, containing mixed forested areas, prairies, ponds, wetlands, and a navigable stream. This variety allows students to study forestry, soils, water and wildlife all in one location. Students are already utilizing the land as a safe place for practical coursework including chainsaw safety, tree limbing, trail maintenance, and wildlife data collection using camera traps. The program prepares students for versatile technician or wildland firefighting roles, and benefits from close partnerships with four-year institutions to offer an easy transfer path for students looking to continue their education after their associate degree. From hail to measurable rain - that's what Wisconsin saw on Tuesday. There could be more of the same today! Stu Muck shares the outlook on showers and thunderstorms that have already started moving into the state. Yes, Wisconsin FFA continues to grow, but finding teachers to execute the lesson plans connected to those chapters is tough. Pam Jahnke visits with Cheryl Zimmerman, executive director of the Wisconsin FFA Association, about current worries going into the next school year. She says they're already aware of 10 teacher retirements that will need to be filled. While Zimmerman acknowledges that tools like experience based licensing have added some staff to schools, it doesn't negate the huge need for agriculture educators. She says they currently have about 28,000 members statewide with 6 newly chartered chapters. Zimmerman also says they're considering opening options to students as young as 5th grade to keep the pipeline full of potential members.

Well the event was well received, however, she said they also learned that finding the right cuts of meat for the grill was a bit of a challenge for some of the women. Fortunately, the chefs on hand and the resources at beeftips.com helped steer them in the right direction.

Germany pioneered Europe's crackdown on Palestine solidarity, and Britain is catching up fast — proscribing solidarity groups as terrorist organisations, criminalising slogans, and threatening to ban the marches altogether. What the official story leaves out: the anti-genocide Jewish voices being written out of "the Jewish community." They have been silenced, expelled from parties, and accused of antisemitism for opposing a genocide. The same establishment that pushed Corbyn out now decides who's allowed to speak as a Jew. In this livestream, Yanis Varoufakis is joined by James Schneider — co-founder of Momentum and Jeremy Corbyn's former Communications Director, currently serving as Communications Director for Progressive International — to take on what's happening in Britain, Labour's collapse, what's coming across Europe, and what resistance looks like now.

There are few industries in the world that have a greater need for skilled communications than the nuclear industry. It’s a challenging technology to understand and to explain to those who are not really interested in the nitty gritty details. There is a significant portion of the industry that believes in silently going about its tasks, partly because there are so many parts of the field that are classified. The influence of the Silent Service is deep and wide within the nuclear sector. There is a growing group that has a different point of view. They bring originality and experiences from outside of nuclear and are not constrained by the traditional tactics. Those newcomers aren’t starting from scratch, however. There are some experienced communicators who also have valuable thoughts and ideas that they are willing to share. Jarret Adams, the founder of Full On Communications, has been professionally explaining the nuclear industry for more than two decades. He has experienced and supported the ups while also figuring out how to respond and adapt to the downs. He started his career as a business journalist. He learned about the nuclear industry during a stint with the Nuclear Energy Institute. While there, he learned the value and the promise of nuclear energy and chose to realign his career to support and defend what was, at the time, a bruised sector with exciting potential for growth and for making positive contributions to humanity. He took advantage of his facility with the French language as he moved over to Areva, which had ambitious plans for international growth during the first phase of the nuclear renaissance that continues today. As prospects for immediate growth diminished as an extended period of low cost natural gas was combined with strongly negative public perceptions caused by the widely publicized damage at TEPCO’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, Jarret departed from Areva to become the Communications Director in the UAE for an international public relations firm. He was part of the program that enabled the UAE to expeditiously create a capable nuclear industry where there wasn’t one before. Following his time in the UAE, Jarret founded Full On Communications to provide services to a broader and more diverse set of customers in the nuclear industry. We discussed the importance of story telling, the value of purchased media time to enable companies to tell their own stories and the importance of techniques like press releases to keep the public, the press and investors informed about both progress and hurdles. Full On Communications recently celebrated its 10th Anniversary. Jarret and his team have contributed to many of the initiatives and actions that have combined to dramatically change the future prospects for nuclear energy development. They look forward to many more years of growth as the next stage of the nuclear renaissance continues to emerge.

Cory Hinton is the founder of Disciplined Apparel, a faith-and-fitness brand built to encourage believers to live with purpose, discipline, and boldness in their walk with Christ. What started in 2017 as a vision to create authentic, Christ-centered apparel has grown into a thriving brand generating over $20,000 a month in revenue, all while Cory continues serving full-time as a Communications Director at a church.Cory's story is rooted in transformation. At 18 years old, he was a skinny 120-pound kid who had never read the Bible. Through discipline, consistency, and a growing relationship with Christ, he transformed not only physically but spiritually. By his mid-twenties, he had developed a strong standard of fitness, read through the Bible multiple times, and built habits that continue to shape his life today as a husband, father of two, and entrepreneur in his mid-thirties.For Cory, discipline means defining your priorities and eliminating distractions until the work is done. His journey has required learning e-commerce, social media marketing, leadership, and time management while balancing ministry, business, marriage, and family life.In this episode, we talk about faith, fitness, business, discipline, consistency, and what it looks like to pursue excellence without compromising your walk with God.
In explosive legal filings, the DOJ indicted the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) on multiple counts of wire fraud and money laundering – accusing the anti-racism organization of secretly paying millions of donor dollars to KKK leaders, white nationalists, and even organizers of the infamous 2017 Charlottesville rally. Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche stated that the SPLC was “manufacturing the extremism it purports to oppose by paying sources to stoke racial hatred.” The documents contain many examples, including allegations of $270,000 paid to a source that “made racist postings under the supervision of the SPLC” and an informant who was paid over $1,000,000 after stealing 25 boxes of documents from another extremist organization – with full support of his high-level SPLC contact.
