In a sector where competition for donors and dollars can feel fierce, one fundraising leader is making the case for a radically different approach — one built on partnership, curiosity, and community trust. In this episode, hosts Kristi Ackley and Jen Emerick-Cayton sit down with Jennifer Pinske, Director of Community Engagement at Family Service Rochester, a cornerstone nonprofit serving individuals and families in Southeast Minnesota for more than 60 years. Jennifer brings 25 years of nonprofit experience to a conversation that challenges the scarcity mindset and shows what's possible when organizations choose collaboration over competition.✨ In this episode, you'll learn: Why collaboration — not competition — is the foundation of a truly effective nonprofit How to identify gaps in your community rather than duplicating services that already exist What it looks like to partner with other nonprofits on programs, grants, and county initiatives Why referring a donor to another organization can actually deepen their trust in yours How to talk to donors about the bigger community picture — not just your own mission Why your organization's reputation in the community matters more than you think when it comes to legacy giving How smaller nonprofits and rural communities can start building collaborative relationships one step at a time Why the most meaningful donor relationships are partnerships, not transactions

After more than four decades in policing and serving as chief of three different departments, Chief Andy Mills has learned that leadership is far more complicated than most aspiring chiefs realize. From balancing city councils, community expectations, internal politics, and personnel challenges, to leading organizational change while maintaining trust, he has seen firsthand what it truly takes to sit in the chief's chair. His message is clear: nobody fully prepares you for the realities of the role, but the leaders who succeed are the ones who remain adaptable, competitive, and relentlessly committed to improvement. In this episode of The Chief Exchange, Chief Mills shares what it's really like to sit in the chief's chair, how he determines when it's time to leave a department, and why policing remains "the best ride ever." We discuss the importance of perfecting your tradecraft, understanding the "why" behind what you do, and developing intentional crime-fighting strategies that go beyond simply making arrests. He also breaks down how Palm Springs PD transformed community engagement by meeting residents where they are on social media, helping build the trust and political capital that contributed to officer wage increases exceeding 30%. Beyond policing, Chief Mills reflects on 45 years of marriage, the values that have sustained a successful relationship through the demands of public safety, and why loyalty, honesty, and shared commitment remain timeless leadership principles. This conversation is about leadership, accountability, relationships, and pursuing excellence without ever becoming complacent.

Guest: Dr. Aran MooneyWhen you think about saving coral reefs, you probably imagine divers, coral nurseries, or maybe even futuristic technology — but what if part of the solution starts with simply turning up the volume? Because it turns out, coral reefs don't just look alive… they sound alive. Today's guest, Dr. Aran Mooney, is helping scientists and conservationists tune into the ocean in a whole new way. His research explores how the natural “music” of healthy reefs — the pops, clicks, and choruses of marine life — can actually help guide coral larvae home and jump-start reef recovery. In this episode, we'll talk about listening to the ocean, using sound as a conservation tool, and why sometimes the key to protecting our planet isn't louder warnings — it's learning how to hear what nature has been telling us all along.Chapters00:00 The Sound of Coral Reefs06:00 Sound as a Restoration Tool12:02 The Mechanics of Sound Playback17:23 Break 117:55 Environmental Influences on Coral Soundscapes20:17 The Power of Sound in Coral Restoration26:59 Break 227:28 Hurricanes and Their Impact on Coral Reefs30:43 Understanding the Time Scale of Sound Influence35:39 Scaling Sound Solutions for Coral Reefs40:51 Community Engagement and Partnerships for Coral HealthResourcesWoods Hole Oceanographic Institution - https://www.whoi.edu/NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program - https://coralreef.noaa.gov/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

There are only about 76 daily newspapers left in America that are not owned by a major corporate chain or billionaire-backed private owner.Seventy-six.In a country with more than 19,000 cities, towns, and villages, that number should stop us in our tracks.Chapters06:43 The State of Local Journalism09:15 Challenges of Independent Voices14:17 Reflecting Community Voices16:01 The Role of Local Journalism17:41 The Impact of Digital Disruption19:26 The Soul of a Newspaper22:55 Community Engagement and Trust24:52 Building Relationships with Public Officials27:44 Navigating AI in Journalism44:46 Engaging Voters and Civic Responsibility53:17 The Future of Print vs. Online Journalism59:01 The Importance of Supporting Local News01:02:17 The Importance of Content in Media01:03:05 Engagement and Community ActionIn this episode of the American Dream Factory Podcast, Nick Smoot and Joe Toney sit down with Clint Schroeder, President and Publisher at Hagadone Media, for a conversation about local journalism, civic trust, the First Amendment, AI, news deserts, and why every community still needs someone watching, listening, verifying, and telling the truth.Clint oversees newspapers, magazines, and media properties across the Inland Pacific Northwest, Montana, Idaho, Washington, and Hawaii. After nearly 30 years in the industry, he has watched newspapers move from being the dominant civic voice in town to fighting for survival in a world shaped by Craigslist, Cars.com, social media, shrinking newsrooms, and now AI.But Clint does not talk about newspapers with nostalgia. He talks about them as mission.Local newspapers are not just businesses. They are civic infrastructure. They are archivists, watchdogs, conveners, mirrors, and defenders of the First Amendment. They record the story of a place. They cover school boards, city councils, local elections, public institutions, infrastructure fights, community victories, and warning signs that no national outlet will ever care enough to cover.And when they disappear, the information does not disappear.The verification disappears.The context disappears.The accountability disappears.Clint makes the case that healthy local media is one of the last remaining foundations of healthy civic life. As he says in the conversation, the press is the only industry named directly in the U.S. Constitution. That means newspapers carry a responsibility that goes far beyond content, clicks, ads, or subscriptions.Nick, Joe, and Clint explore what happens when a community loses its paper, why opinion pages and letters to the editor still matter, how local media can preserve balanced civic conversation, and why communities should not take their local newspaper for granted.They also discuss the difference between real reporting and content generation, why AI should not replace original journalism, how young people consume news, and what it would take to rebuild local news in places that have become news deserts.

In this spirited episode, the challenges and paradoxes of modern leadership are brought to the forefront, grounded in the world of philanthropy. My guest this week, Glen Galaich, author of the provocative book Control: Why Big Giving Falls Short and CEO of the Stupski Foundation, invites listeners to reconsider the myths surrounding control, generosity, and decision-making. He makes the compelling case about how organizational norms, incentives, and personal ego can unintentionally limit positive impact, even in the most purpose-driven organizations.During out discussion, we reflect on tough questions: What's the real difference between intentions and measurable outcomes? How do process, relationships, and results shape lasting change? Through first-hand stories and data, this episode reveals how well-meaning leaders too often mistake intention for impact and how letting go of control, building clear processes, and inviting feedback can dramatically enhance outcomes.For executives, nonprofit leaders, and anyone invested in meaningful change, this episode offers actionable advice: embrace self-awareness, question inherited processes, and trust the people closest to the work. It's a call to action for listeners to examine their own patterns and to move beyond good intentions to do good by leading well.What You'll Learn- The importance of letting go of control for greater impact.- Rethinking thoughtful giving.- Process, results, relationships: The leadership triad.- The temptation of control when doing good.- The power of systems, incentives, and leadership norms.- Lead with empathy across difference.- The critical role of self-awareness: Feedback as a gift.Podcast Timestamps(00:00) – Welcome to the Show and Guest Introduction(00:03:13) - The Motivation Behind "Control"(00:10:00) - Control, Psychological Safety, and Power in Leadership(00:14:29) - Process, Results, Relationships: The Leadership Triad(00:17:38) - Misconceptions and Accountability in Leadership(00:22:04) - The Temptation of Control When Doing Good(00:30:02) - Leading with Empathy Across Differences(00:34:14) - Systems, Incentives, and Leadership Norms(00:38:16) - The Critical Role of Self-Awareness(00:42:59) - Leading Through Uncertainty(00:47:33) - Key Mindset Shifts: Moving from Intention to ImpactKEYWORDSPositive Leadership, Philanthropy, Thoughtful Giving, Community Engagement, Control Mindset, Process in Organizations, Psychological Safety, Accountability, Feedback, Ego in Leadership, Power Dynamics, Self Awareness, Organizational Culture, Social Impact, Norms and Incentives, Empathy, Letting Go, Impact versus Intention, CEO Success

This week's guest is Val Haller, Founder and Co-producer of Winnetka Music Festival, a local Chicago music fest celebrating its 10th Anniversary. The festival takes place this week, June 19-20 and features a stellar lineup with headliners Father John Misty, Trombone Shorty, Grace Potter and Futurebirds among other fantastic acts. Throughout her career in music, Val has embodied a vibrant can-do spirit. She founded Val's List in 2007 which seeks to connect “busy adults” with new music from emerging artists. It uncovered a wonderful niche of music lovers who were looking for something new— and it was a massive success! She then morphed her passion into Living Room shows, which then ultimately became one of the most successful local Chicago festivals when she founded Winnetka Music Festival in 2017. Now partnered with Space Evanston, Val continues to foster emerging young artists and to that end, Val has founded the Just Listen Foundation to lend financial support to young touring artists.Val's passion, enthusiasm, drive and commitment is truly inspiring. She talks to me about the key moments along the way, and what the future holds.

What happens when a nonprofit thinks it's ready for a capital campaign—but discovers it still has critical groundwork to complete before moving forward?In this episode of All About Capital Campaigns, Amy Eisenstein sits down with Jacqueline House, Vice President for Communications and Community Engagement at Safe Children Coalition, and Paula Peter, Capital Campaign Pro Campaign Advisor, to explore the remarkable story behind a campaign that grew from an initial $3 million goal to nearly $10 million raised for a new youth shelter serving vulnerable children across Florida's Suncoast region.Safe Children Coalition serves more than 10,000 children each year through foster care, adoption, prevention, and diversion programs. Faced with the need to replace an aging youth shelter originally built in 1959, the organization embarked on a capital campaign that would ultimately far exceed its original fundraising expectations. But the path to success wasn't straightforward.Jacqueline shares how her organization initially believed it was already in campaign mode when, in reality, important campaign planning and donor development work still needed to be completed. Rather than rushing ahead, the organization made the difficult decision to pause for six months and focus on strengthening the foundation necessary for long-term campaign success.Listeners will learn why strategic pauses are often a sign of campaign strength—not weakness—and how organizations can use these periods to clarify project plans, secure key assets, build internal alignment, strengthen campaign leadership, and prepare compelling answers to donor questions.The conversation also explores one of the most important shifts in modern capital campaign fundraising: the evolution of the feasibility study process. Jacqueline explains how conducting donor interviews herself, rather than relying on an outside consultant, helped her build meaningful relationships with prospective major donors, gain candid feedback, and increase both her confidence and effectiveness as a fundraiser.Paula offers a fascinating perspective from her decades-long career in campaign consulting. Having conducted traditional confidential feasibility study interviews since the early 1990s, she candidly discusses why she initially resisted the guided feasibility study model and what ultimately convinced her that empowering nonprofit leaders to conduct their own donor conversations produces stronger fundraising outcomes and more confident campaign leaders.The episode also provides valuable insights for nonprofit executives, development directors, and campaign volunteers working in organizations with limited fundraising infrastructure. Jacqueline describes how she navigated a campaign with a relatively small development operation, a board that was supportive but inexperienced in fundraising, and a leadership team that was simultaneously managing a major construction project.Whether you're planning your first capital campaign, evaluating campaign readiness, considering a feasibility study, or looking for strategies to strengthen donor relationships, this episode offers practical lessons and real-world insights from a nonprofit that transformed its fundraising capacity while successfully completing a major campaign.If you're preparing for a capital campaign or looking to improve your campaign strategy, this conversation offers valuable guidance from leaders who successfully navigated the challenges and opportunities of a transformational fundraising effort.

This week, host Margaret Walls welcomes Celso Ferreira and Elizabeth Van Dolah on the podcast to talk about building resilience in coastal communities that are vulnerable to sea level rise. Ferreira, a professor at George Mason University, and Van Dolah, an environmental anthropologist and community engagement expert, were members of an interdisciplinary research team that aimed to construct nature-based solutions to flooding problems in the rural municipality of Pocomoke City, Maryland. Throughout the process, the team consulted with an advisory committee of community members who weighed in on the project—and the local input shaped the researchers' conclusions in surprising ways. In this episode, Ferreira and Van Dolah reflect on how continuous engagement with impacted communities can help identify overlooked ecosystem values and result in improved outcomes for people and the surrounding environment.
