How do you tell stories that not only inform but inspire people to act? In this episode of Nonprofit Nation, I'm joined by Caroline Keylock, co-founder of LookUP, a global storytelling consultancy helping nonprofits, brands, and agencies harness the power of narrative to drive growth, connection, and impact.Caroline shares her unique perspective drawn from both the nonprofit and commercial sectors, including her work with Wikimedia, Alzheimer's organizations, and The Communications Network.

The Catechism discusses the significance of prayer beginning with the prophets and their observations about the Temple and ritualism. It is noteworthy that while we must worship the Lord externally, this must be in tandem with prayer and cannot remain external. With Fr. Mike's insight, we see that our thinking affects how we act, and our behaviors can influence beliefs. Taking this to heart, if we ever feel that we are just “going through the motions”, we should persist and continue praying. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 2581-2589. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

What if everything you've been taught about fundraising isn't wrong—but just too safe?In this episode, I'm joined by Lisa L. Stueckemann, CFRE, author of Fundraising Rebel—a book that's shaking up how we think about donor relationships, generosity, and what it means to lead with courage in today's fundraising landscape.Lisa is a consultant, mentor, and nationally recognized speaker who's worked with hundreds of nonprofit teams to help them ditch the “donor-centric” buzzwords and build real, lasting connections instead. In a time when donor trust is down and fundraising feels harder than ever, Lisa offers a refreshing—and rebellious—approach to leadership, authenticity, and generosity.

Who would've guessed that one of the world's best company cultures was hiding behind a can of WD-40? Of all the places to find a leadership masterclass, the blue-and-yellow can in your garage probably wasn't on your list - but it's time to put it there.Garry Ridge - an Australian who brought his charm and curiosity across the Pacific  - joined WD-40 Company in the late '80s and rose through the ranks, eventually serving as CEO for 25 years. But he didn't start out as the culture-building expert he's known as today. Early in his career, he lived by the old mantra: “be brilliant, be brief, be gone.” He had to unlearn that mindset and rebuild himself into a leader who centers people, learning, and belonging  - an evolution that reshaped WD-40 from the inside out. His new book, Any Dumb Ass Can Do It, captures that journey.In this episode, we break down how Garry built a company where people genuinely love coming to work  - even through recessions, pandemics, and all the external chaos leaders can't control. We dig into the systems and behaviors that fueled WD-40's rise, from psychological safety to accountability to building internal consistency no matter what the market is doing.Garry and I both believe that people deserve to love their work - even if they don't like it every single day. People want to feel seen, heard, and valued. And Garry is one of the rare leaders who knows exactly how to make that happen.This is A Bit of Optimism.---------------------------This episode is brought to you by the Porsche USA Macan---------------------------Check out Garry's new book.https://thelearningmoment.net/any-dumb-ass-can-do-it/And his coaching work with The Learning Movement. https://thelearningmoment.net/

What do you do when the needs around you are bigger than your capacity?As we come to Acts 6, we're stepping into a moment where the early church hit a crisis — not of apathy, but of capacity.Widows were being unintentionally overlooked. Tension was growing. Unity was threatened.But instead of ignoring the problem or pretending they could just “do more,” the apostles did something stunning:✨ They acknowledged their limitations.✨ They invited the whole church into the solution.✨ They raised up Spirit-filled servants to meet real needs.And the result?The Word increased. Disciples multiplied. And the most unlikely of people came to saving faith in Jesus.This passage reminds us:The church doesn't flourish when a few people do everything.It flourishes when every member steps in with the gifts God has given.Consider as you listen:

In Malaysia, every citizen carries an ID card that includes religion; every person is classified as either ‘Muslim' or ‘Non-Muslim'. The Malaysian constitution promises religious freedom and the right to choose one's religion. So, what happens if a citizen changes their faith? Brother ‘Samuel' was born into a Muslim family, but he chose to leave Islam behind to follow Christ. At first, he kept his newfound faith quiet, knowing that being publicly identified as a follower of Jesus could bring all kinds of trouble. But as he grew in faith, he felt convicted about his silence. Jesus had died for him. How could he be unwilling even to acknowledge Christ? Learning of his conversion, Samuel's family encouraged him to dive more deeply into Islamic training and activities. Wanting to honour his father and his family, Samuel agreed to attend Islamic classes. But instead of bringing him back to Mohammed, the training forced him to become more rooted in Biblical truth and more capable of explaining and defending Christian doctrines. In 2018, Samuel began the process of applying for a new national ID card, changing his religion from “Muslim” to “non-Muslim”. Seven years later, his court case is still dragging on.

Visit http://ryzehealth.com/BootstrapMD today and see how simple running your practice can be. ______________ How do you attract more patients—without spending a fortune on ads or hiring a marketing agency? In this episode of BootstrapMD, Dr. Mike Woo-Ming demystifies the concept of marketing funnels and reveals how any doctor can build a simple, trust-based system to bring in patients organically. Whether you're running a cash-based practice, launching a telemedicine brand, or just starting out, Dr. Woo-Ming shares a step-by-step process that turns awareness into engagement—and engagement into conversion. He begins by redefining the "funnel" not as a piece of software, but as a relationship journey—a path that guides potential patients from discovery to booking. Using his signature mix of practical teaching and relatable analogies, Dr. Woo-Ming explains how building an organic funnel is simply about building trust before the sale. He  listed seven-step framework for creating an organic funnel: Understand the Funnel Journey, Start with One Irresistible Offer, Create a Value Magnet (Not Just a Lead Magnet), Build the Trust Loop, Add a Clear Conversion Path, Promote Organically, Measure and Refine  Through these seven steps, physicians learn how to stop chasing patients and start creating systems that attract and nurture them naturally. Dr. Woo-Ming emphasizes that effective funnels don't rely on complicated tech—they rely on empathy, clarity, and consistent follow-up. He wraps up by reminding listeners that they don't need a big budget, marketing degree, or social media fame to grow. What they truly need is a repeatable system that builds trust and invites action—one small step at a time. Whether you're a physician tired of depending on word-of-mouth referrals or a healthcare entrepreneur ready to scale your practice, this episode gives you the tools, mindset, and motivation to start attracting more patients organically today. Three Actionable Takeaways: Simplify Your Offer: Focus on One Clear Transformation:One of the biggest mistakes physicians make in marketing is trying to promote every service at once—weight loss, hormone therapy, aesthetics, telemedicine, and more. But as Dr. Woo-Ming explains, "a confused mind never buys." When your messaging is scattered, your patients don't know what to focus on—and they leave before taking action.  Build Relationships Before Revenue: Trust Comes Before Transactions: Funnels aren't just about automation—they're about authentic connection. Patients today are looking for more than quick fixes; they want to know who you are, what you believe in, and whether they can trust you with their health. Track and Tweak Consistently: Measure What Matters: In marketing—and in medicine—what gets measured gets improved. Many physicians struggle with patient acquisition because they're guessing at what's working.    About the Show: Bootstrap MD is the ultimate podcast for physician entrepreneurs looking to escape traditional healthcare and control their financial futures.

In this solo episode, I'm breaking down three industry beliefs I used to swear by that quietly killed my launches, and the shifts that helped me convert higher with fewer leads.  We'll talk about why "giving more value" doesn't work in 2025, why launches aren't actually a numbers game, and how sharing more of your real life (strategically) leads to deeper trust and more buyers. I'm also giving a quick behind-the-scenes update on what's happening over here: from prepping my Black Friday workshop and holiday bundle to leaning into SEO, blogging, and (surprise!) moving into a new house right before Thanksgiving.  By the end, you'll know how to audit your own messaging, warm up the audience you already have, and create content that actually activates people to buy.  DM me on Instagram (@meganyelaney) with where you rate yourself (1–10) on each belief, and if you want early access to my Black Friday workshop at the lowest price, DM me "Black Friday."  Let's make your messaging impossible to ignore
