Last November, Zohran Mamdani did what many considered impossible: he won the mayor’s office of a major U.S. city as a Democratic Socialists of America candidate. And in Atlanta, Kelsea Bond recently became the first DSA member elected to the City Council. The DSA, while not an official political party, has also picked up momentum elsewhere. Over the past several months, DSA candidates or candidates aligned with the organization secured primary wins in New York, Colorado, and Washington, D.C. Two years ago, Georgia House District 42 Representative Gabriel Sanchez became the first Democratic Socialist elected to the state legislature. The gains are small but notable. So, what does this shift mean for voters, for the political system, and for the possibility of more DSA candidates rising to prominence in a battleground Southern state like Georgia? Ashik Siddique and Megan Romer, the National Co‑Chairs of the Democratic Socialists of America, join the show to discuss how the organization is defining itself in this moment, the messaging strategies they believe resonate, and the challenges of still needing the Democratic Party designation to appear on most ballots. Smaller nonprofits face distinct challenges in today’s shifting philanthropic landscape, and many are struggling to stay afloat. This episode of Closer Look with Rose Scott explores the realities of under‑funded nonprofits and how a local effort, the Nonprofit Sector Sustainability Fund, is attempting to address those gaps through a targeted funding initiative. Ayana Gabriel Turner, Vice President of Community Impact at the Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta, explains the needs facing smaller nonprofits and how the NSSF ultimately selected 12 organizations from more than 200 applicants. Dr. Bambie Hayes‑Brown, CEO of Georgia Advancing Communities Together, Inc., one of the twelve awardees, shares how this funding will strengthen her organization’s mission and expand its impact.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What does one person in a slightly smelly chicken suit have to teach us about building a stronger community? Quite a lot, actually. Erik sits down with local community advocate Tim McMahon to talk about mental health awareness, civic engagement, voter registration, and why simply showing up can change lives. From holding signs promoting the 988 crisis line to encouraging neighbors to get involved at town meetings and Vail Yeti hockey games, Tim shares why connection, compassion, and persistence matter more than recognition. It's an inspiring conversation about ordinary people making an extraordinary impact—one conversation, one sign, and one act of kindness at a time. 

What happens when academic research, climate resilience, digital inclusion and community development all collide? In this episode of ScaleUp Radio, Kevin Brent is joined by Vicki Ayton, Founder of BizEd, a Community Interest Company (CIC) that exists to bridge the gap between research and real-world community impact. What started as a response to a local library closure has evolved into a growing community hub delivering digital inclusion support, climate resilience education, research projects and policy work across Shropshire and beyond. Vicki shares the realities of building a sustainable CIC, the challenges of balancing commercial income with social impact, and why digital skills are now fundamental to both business success and community resilience.   In This Episode From Research to Real Impact Vicki explains how her background in climate and environmental research highlighted a common challenge: excellent research often fails to reach the people who need it most. BizEd was created to translate knowledge into practical support for communities and businesses. A pivotal moment came when the local council approached BizEd to replace services lost when a library closed due to RAAC concrete concerns. That request became the catalyst for creating a physical community hub.   Why BizEd Chose a CIC Structure One of the most fascinating discussions centres around the decision to become a Community Interest Company rather than a charity. Vicki explains: Why financial resilience matters for community organisations How BizEd generates 60–70% of its income through trading activities The dangers of becoming overly reliant on grant funding How organisations can lose community trust when grant-funded projects disappear The CIC model provides greater flexibility to trade and generate sustainable income, helping create long-term impact rather than short-term projects.   The CIC Catch-22 The conversation highlights a significant challenge faced by many social enterprises. While CICs are encouraged to trade and become self-sustaining, they are often excluded from support programmes available only to registered charities. Examples include: Free software licences Digital infrastructure grants Technology support programmes Meanwhile, charities often have access to these benefits but face restrictions on how much income they can generate through trading activities. It's a structural challenge that many social enterprises continue to face.   Climate Resilience is a Business Issue Climate change is no longer a future concern. Vicki explains why businesses need to focus on resilience today, including: Managing disruption caused by extreme weather Protecting supply chains Supporting employee wellbeing during heatwaves Preparing for changing customer and community needs Rather than focusing solely on sustainability, businesses must also prepare for adaptation and resilience.   Digital Skills are Now Essential A major theme throughout the conversation is the importance of digital capability at every level. Vicki breaks digital skills into three areas: Foundation Skills Email Online services Digital communication Accessing information safely Workplace Skills Productivity software Collaboration tools Digital workflows Data management Advanced Skills Artificial Intelligence AI risk management Data analysis Automation opportunities She also highlights the growing overlap between green jobs and digital capability, where data and technology skills are becoming increasingly valuable.   Why Young People May Hold the AI Advantage For many small businesses, hiring experienced AI specialists isn't realistic. Vicki argues that younger people often bring natural AI fluency and experimentation skills that SMEs can benefit from immediately. For owner-managers looking to improve productivity, younger team members may already hold valuable expertise that businesses are overlooking.   Building Community Hubs That Actually Work One of BizEd's biggest lessons is that community needs rarely exist in isolation. Someone seeking digital support may also need: Benefits advice Banking assistance Employment support Access to other local services Vicki shares her vision for integrated community hubs that bring multiple services together under one roof, making support more accessible and effective.   Productivity Tools and Personal Effectiveness Despite operating in a highly digital world, Vicki's favourite productivity tool is surprisingly simple. Her trusted Busy Bee physical diary remains the cornerstone of her planning system. The discussion explores: Why writing things down improves thinking Managing the overlap between work and home life The importance of finding tools that suit your working style BizEd itself takes a tool-agnostic approach, using Trello, Notion, Planner and other platforms depending on team and client preferences. The focus is on removing barriers to collaboration rather than enforcing a single system.   The One Key Thing Building sustainable impact requires balancing purpose with commercial reality. The organisations that create lasting change are the ones that develop the resilience to generate income while staying true to their mission.   Standout Quote "Digital skills are no longer optional. They are the foundation of resilience for individuals, communities and businesses alike."   About Vicki Ayton Vicki Ayton is the Founder of BizEd, a Community Interest Company focused on climate resilience, digital inclusion, research translation and community impact. Through education, community engagement and policy work, BizEd helps bridge the gap between knowledge and practical action.   Scaling up your business isn't easy, and can be a little daunting.

Welcome to this episode of Talking about Coaching, the podcast from coaches for coaches. This episode is one of Yannick's deep dives into one topic or person and we're talking about coaching with Ruth Cooper-Dickson who shares her inspiring journey from doing corporate work to coaching classical musicians, highlighting what it takes to break into a new line of work as well as innovative approaches to wellbeing and resilience through music and positive psychology. In July 2026 Ruth will be presenting the insights and learning from this journey at the European Conference for Positive Psychology (ECPP) in Dublin, and we thought it would be excellent to offer the conference audience (as well as a wider one) access to a deeper dive into how she made this dream happen, her approach to working with musicians and performers, and her experience along the way.KEY TOPICS- How to launch a successful coaching pilot- Building resilience and confidence in musicians- Community and relationship building through arts- Using strengths and values in coachingABOUT RUTHRuth Cooper-Dickson is an award-winning positive psychology practitioner, trauma-informed coach, and founder of Thrivership Coaching™. A published academic, her recent practitioner research focuses on classical musicians, and she has developed and delivered a positive psychology coaching programme for musicians and composers in collaboration with the Royal Philharmonic Society, bringing evidence-based wellbeing tools to the unique pressures of a life in classical music. Her earlier academic work explored post-traumatic growth and coaching, a thread that continues to underpin her practice.Ruth launched her wellbeing consultancy after her own experience of mental ill health, including Generalised Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, and chronic burnout. That lived experience sits at the heart of her work, where she helps individuals and organisations start open, honest, and human conversations about Mental Wealth. Her trauma-informed approach to thrivership coaching supports people to grow after adversity rather than simply recover from it. She has been a patron of the UK anxiety charity No Panic since 2018.Alongside her coaching, Ruth is a radio broadcaster who has hosted live since 2024, and a keynote speaker who has delivered talks for global brands, combining academic research with real-world insight.

In this episode of The Steward Chair, host Jeff Bond sits down with Jackie Cardello, President of GRF CPAs & Advisors, to discuss how values, independence, and community impact drive sustainable success. Jackie shares how her background in English, philosophy, and psychology fuels human-centered leadership in a technical industry. We explore GRF's courageous pivot from an "eat what you kill" compensation model to a goals-based system that rewards collective stewardship and leadership behaviors. Jackie also shares the strategic advantages of remaining fiercely independent and managing difficult partner conversations with vulnerability. Key Takeaways The Humanities Edge: A background in philosophy and psychology builds the empathy and communication skills required to lead people and navigate tough organizational shifts. Incentivizing Stewardship: Swapping out individual profit models for goals-based compensation allows a firm to intentionally reward mentorship and collaboration over short-term revenue. Independence as a Magnet: Staying independent preserves a firm's core values, allowing for client-first decision-making and an authentic culture that naturally attracts and retains top talent.

"Send us a message!"Episode 250 feels like the perfect time to talk about something bigger than salons.As this episode releases alongside America's 250th birthday celebration, we found ourselves thinking about opportunity, entrepreneurship, responsibility, and why small businesses matter so much to the communities they serve.In this episode, we discuss how small businesses create opportunity, build stronger communities, support education, develop leaders, and give ordinary people the chance to build something meaningful.We also talk about profit, responsibility, community involvement, leadership, culture, growth, and why owning a business is about far more than simply making money.Whether you own a salon, run a business, or dream about starting one someday, this conversation is really about something bigger:The opportunity to build something that matters.Your business should serve you, so that you can serve others.And small businesses give people the opportunity to do exactly that.Key TakeawaysSmall businesses create opportunity.  Every dollar spent is a vote for what you value.  Profit is not greed—it's sustainability.  Ownership comes with responsibility.  Education and growth create long-term value.  Strong culture protects itself.  Opportunities can change the direction of a life.  Community involvement strengthens businesses and neighborhoods.  Being busy is not the same as building a business.  Small businesses create hope for a better future.Time Stamps00:00 — Episode 250 + America's 250th celebration 01:00 — Opening takes: leadership and Facebook advice 03:00 — Why awards and recognition often don't matter 06:00 — Opportunity, capitalism, and entrepreneurship 08:00 — Why small businesses matter 09:00 — Community impact and giving back 11:00 — Every dollar is a vote 13:00 — Supporting vendors and local relationships 14:00 — Education and investing in people 16:00 — Small businesses that changed our lives 20:00 — Why opportunities matter 21:00 — Why owners struggle with profit 23:00 — Profit, sustainability, and responsibility 25:00 — The difference between income and profit 27:00 — Why hope isn't a business strategy 29:00 — The responsibilities of ownership 32:00 — Growth opportunities for staff 34:00 — Difficult conversations and leadership 35:00 — Responsibility is the price of ownership 36:00 — The opportunities we're most proud of creating 38:00 — Culture, education, and apprenticeships 42:00 — What we'd lose without small businesses 45:00 — Being busy vs building a business 48:00 — Creating opportunities for others 49:00 — What we hope people take from this episode 50:00 — Why small businesses create hopeLinks and Stuff:Our Newsletter Mentoring InquiriesFind more of our things:InstagramHello Hair Pro Website

For many student-athletes, the discipline learned on the track does not end at the finish line — it can become a foundation for academic ambition, college access, and long-term opportunity. At a moment when young people are navigating rising college costs, uneven access to counseling, and growing uncertainty around higher education, programs that connect athletics, academics, and personal support are taking on new importance. At The Armory Foundation in Washington Heights, that connection is more than a theory: since 2016, Armory College Prep has maintained a 100% four-year college acceptance rate for its seniors. The stakes are clear for first-generation and underserved students, many of whom need not only academic guidance, but also exposure, confidence, and a sense of belonging.So what happens when a track-and-field institution becomes a launchpad for college access, career exploration, and community transformation?Welcome to DisruptED. In the latest episode, host Ron J. Stefanski speaks with Rita Finkel, Co-President of The Armory Foundation, and Clayton Harding, Director of College Counseling for Armory College Prep. Their conversation explores how the historic Armory has evolved from a former homeless shelter into a hub for athletics, education, health, and community programming — and how its college prep model helps students translate the discipline of sports into academic persistence and long-term opportunity.Top insights from the talk…Athletics becomes a bridge to academics. Harding explains that student-athletes already understand the value of practice, discipline, and measurable improvement. Armory College Prep helps them apply that same mindset to grades, test preparation, essays, college applications, and persistence through graduation.College access requires exposure and trust. The program takes students beyond New York City to visit small liberal arts colleges, private universities, SUNY and CUNY campuses, and other institutions they may not have considered. Finkel and Harding emphasize that seeing a campus firsthand can help students and families overcome “sticker shock” and understand how financial aid can make a private college more affordable than expected.The Armory model is high-touch and long-term. With a strong adult-to-student ratio, structured SAT/ACT preparation, essay coaching, alumni mentorship, college visits, and paid summer internship support, the program focuses not only on college admission, but also on college completion and career development.Rita Finkel serves as Co-President and COO of The Armory Foundation, where she has spent more than 20 years leading operations, strategy, finance, and youth-serving programs. She previously served as Executive Vice President of Strategy and Finance at the Armory and has played a major role in advancing the organization's athletic, educational, and community impact work. Before joining the Armory, she was Executive Director of Fencers Club, where she oversaw membership development, coach recruitment, and day-to-day operations.Clayton Harding serves as Director of College Counseling at Armory College Prep, where he has spent more than 12 years guiding students through college admissions, academic planning, financial aid, and long-term success. He has previously served as Interim Director of College Success, supporting alumni with paid internship placement, academic resources, graduate school applications, resume writing, mock interviews, networking, and career readiness. Earlier in his career, he co-owned and led test-prep organizations, including Bell Curves/The ProTesters and PLR Publishing, where he developed K-12 and LSAT preparation programs and co-authored test-prep materials.

In this Omni Talk Retail interview, recorded live from the Global DIY Summit 2026 in Amsterdam, Chris Walton sits down with Curtis Smith, Executive Director of the Do It Best Foundation and True Value Foundation, to discuss the role of community impact in the future of retail. Curtis shares the story behind Do It Best's acquisition of True Value, how the combined organization has expanded to roughly 9,000 locations across 60 countries, and what it takes to merge two philanthropic organizations into one unified mission. The conversation explores how retailers can create meaningful impact beyond selling products, why community investment remains a competitive advantage, and how business leaders can balance growth, efficiency, and social responsibility in a rapidly changing world. Most importantly, Curtis offers a powerful reminder to leaders attending the Global DIY Summit: every business ultimately serves people, and lasting success comes from creating value both inside and outside the store. Key Topics Covered: • The Do It Best acquisition of True Value and its impact on the organization • Combining two foundations under one mission • Building stronger communities through retail philanthropy • Why retailers should think beyond products and transactions • Lessons from supporting more than 150 nonprofit organizations • The challenge of scaling charitable impact across markets • How business growth and community investment work together • The role of social responsibility in modern retail leadership • Why the DIY industry naturally attracts people-first leaders • Curtis Smith's message to executives on purpose, people, and legacy Thank you to Vusion for supporting Omni Talk Retail's live coverage from the Global DIY Summit 2026 in Amsterdam. #GlobalDIYSummit #DIYSummit2026 #OmniTalkRetail #DoItBest #TrueValue #RetailLeadership #RetailPhilanthropy #CommunityImpact #HomeImprovement #DIYRetail #RetailInnovation #Vusion

 In this episode of the Sumud Podcast, we sit down with comedian, humanitarian, and community organizer Said Durrah for a wide-ranging conversation about identity, service, storytelling, and purpose. Said reflects on growing up Palestinian-American, balancing comedy with humanitarian work, and the experiences that shaped his commitment to serving communities around the world. From fundraising efforts and refugee camp visits to building cultural platforms and launching his new Arab Is Me podcast, he shares personal stories about faith, resilience, representation, and the responsibility of preserving culture through art. The conversation also explores the challenges facing younger generations, the importance of authentic storytelling, mental health, and how creative work can become a vehicle for impact during times of crisis and uncertainty.  Palestinian by way of Gaza, Syrian by way of Damascus, and American by way of Detroit, Said Durrah has made audiences laugh in ways that transcend borders, languages, and cultures. Said's first performances as a young child were in front of his family, where he'd tell stories and impersonate other family members. It was only a matter of time until Said made his way on to an official comedic stage -- first, at the Comic Strip in NYC in 2010, and since, at famous venues such as the Kennedy Center, Carnegie Hall, Hollywood's Laugh Factory, DC Improv, Caroline's in Times Square and even a performance on Broadway, just to name a few. Thousands have seen his performances live via tours including Allah Made Me Funny, 1001 Laughs Comedy Tour, Funatical Comedy Tour, and performances throughout Palestine including the historic El-Hakawati theater in Jerusalem. Said has also taught comedy workshops for children in the West Bank. Combining his love of comedy with his dedication to humanitarian work, Said has led, supported, and lent his comedic stylings to dozens of fundraising efforts, helping provide millions of dollars in vital aid for people in need around the world.  In this conversation, we explore  - Said's journey from stand-up comedy to humanitarian and advocacy work  - Fundraising efforts and supporting families affected by conflict and displacement  - The balance between entertainment, service, and community leadership  - Why preserving Arab and Palestinian culture matters for future generations  - The story behind the launch of the Arab Is Me podcast  - Identity, belonging, and growing up Arab in America  - The role of comedy in storytelling, healing, and cultural representation  - Navigating public criticism, activism, and community expectations  - Mental health conversations within Arab and Muslim communities  - Why authentic human connection matters more than social media validation  - Lessons learned from years of community organizing and nonprofit work  - Supporting young people pursuing creative careers and unconventional paths  - Said's biggest comedy influences and the future of Arab-American storytelling Sponsored by The Karate Attorney (@karateattorney) fighting for justice inside and outside the courtroom.

In the social impact sector, scaling an organization nationally while maintaining deep community trust is one of the hardest balancing acts to pull off. It requires an unshakeable operational foundation, a clear mission, and creative revenue models that move beyond traditional grant dependency.In this episode of the Charity Charge Show, host Grayson Harris sits down with Jen Rifkin, Executive Director of the Volo Kids Foundation, an organization dedicated to removing economic, gender, and racial barriers to youth sports. Jen shares her inspiring journey from volunteer coach to national executive leader, breaking down the operational "special sauce" behind their 12-state expansion. She also reveals how their unique, symbiotic partnership with a for-profit adult sports league offers a brilliant blueprint for sustainable nonprofit funding.Show Notes: Key TakeawaysBuild a Replicable Operational Formula: Rapidly scaling a national footprint requires a standardized core program structure—what Jen calls a "cookie-cutter" framework—that can be easily deployed anywhere while leaving room for local market adaptation.Leverage Hybrid Corporate Partnerships: Volo Kids sustains its growth through a powerful relationship with Volo Sports, a for-profit adult leagues provider. Guided by the slogan "We play so the kids play free," a portion of adult registration revenue offsets the foundation's core operational costs, allowing donor and grant funds to go directly to youth programming.Move at the Speed of Community Trust: Entering a new city shouldn't involve a prescriptive "we know what's best" mentality. Lasting impact is built by attending local neighborhood meetings, listening to schools, and collaborating with local municipalities to fill genuine gaps.Prioritize Relational Fundraising over Transactional Grants: In a hyper-competitive funding climate where grant dollars are stretched thin, organic word-of-mouth advocacy from volunteers, coaches, and corporate partners remains the most effective tool for unlocking new donor relationships.

What if the thing holding back justice isn't lack of will — it's lack of access?  Today's guest is doing something about that after coming up from a really rough time in high school, a near-fatal car crash, a parent who believed in him endlessly, and ending up not only at Stanford Law but also with one of the most powerful mentors in the field of law. For those of you who - like Sara - have liked to tease lawyers for being miserable people with secret languages, this episode brings the absolute best in the field to rehabilitate that image, infuse us with hope and humanity, and remind us that, even if we're not lawyers, there is a LOT we can each do to make the world a better place.   What to listen for: Transformation is rarely linear — and patience is the secret ingredient. And a message for parents of struggling teens: believe in them relentlessly, even when they make it hard, because knowing someone is in your corner can be the difference that keeps a young person from going over the edge. Mentorship is a two-way street. Luke describes his decades-long relationship with trailblazing attorney Harry Bremond, who shaped him both professionally and personally — but he's clear that great mentorship requires great mentees. Showing up, being reliable, and genuinely investing in the relationship is what transforms a professional connection into a lasting legacy. You don't have to be a lawyer to fight for justice in your community. There is so much we can each do in our communities to create tangible change, even volunteering for a few hours. And mentally? Luke says it's important to be good to yourself and allow yourself and others grace. Go on and find the joy in life while we're living it!   About our guest: Luke Liss is the Pro Bono Partner of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati. He manages the firm's global Community Impact program. Luke also actively leads multiple pro bono impact litigation and immigration teams.  Luke has also played a key leadership role in high-profile pro bono litigation, including a trial win on behalf of one of the largest classes of Medicare patients in history, a historic win on summary judgment against a former Colombian paramilitary war lord on behalf of family members of a murdered community activist, and the settlement of a civil rights lawsuit alleging constitutional violations in Louisiana. Luke remains active in the leadership of multiple ongoing impact litigation matters.
