Feeling stretched too thin? Wondering how your nonprofit will survive the next wave of challenges? You're not alone.As we head into 2026, nonprofit leaders are asking tough questions: Where is funding going? Why is donor behavior shifting? How can we keep our teams motivated in the face of burnout and uncertainty?This week, I'm joined by Rob Harter — veteran nonprofit executive, leadership coach, and host of the long-running Nonprofit Leadership Podcast — to explore what's really happening across the sector, and where the hope lies. Drawing from his decades of experience, his writing on organizational health and leadership, and the hundreds of interviews he's conducted on the Nonprofit Leadership Podcast, Rob offers a hopeful — but honest — roadmap for social impact organizations navigating change.

Your AI images look impressive... until someone notices the extra finger or robotic grin. That's exactly what I saw when I first dabbled in AI branding. Without a solid process, you end up with weird artifacts, cold-traffic ads that flop, and zero ROI on your "pretty" creatives. Enter Jenna Soard. She's the AI brand wizard who taught me how to craft hyper-real images, upsell videos, B-roll storyboards, and more all using AI, without dropping thousands on photoshoots. Today on the podcast, I'm sitting down with Jenna to show you how to use tools like Nanobanana (Gemini 3.5), Ideogram, and SORA to build brand assets that actually convert in 2026. Listen in and discover the secret to hyper-real brand photos (no weird fingers), which tools to use for ad graphics vs. infographics, when to show your face to warm audiences, how to create a digital video twin with SORA for seamless upsell clips, and crafting B-roll storyboards that stop the scroll. Ready to get hands-on? Jenna and I are hosting a free workshop next week on AI-powered sales pages and branded creatives. Save your spot at brandonlucero.com/jenna  Did you enjoy this episode?

The date of the Expulsion in 1492 is infamous. Less known or understood is the historical context that led there. How did a 1,000-year-old community lose its status and power? The answer lies in the ferocious and sudden impact of 1391. With 100,000 conversions to Christianity, Jewish kehillos were left reeling and families were torn apart. Rebuilding became virtually impossible, and a new way of life was created for the Jews in Spain. Jews were still part of society, but rising Church pressure forced many into hiding. And the urgent question arose of how to deal with conversos amid instability, the Tortosa disputation and hostility from ‘Old Christians'. But the writing was still not on the wall.   Timestamps: - 0:00 — Converts' next-generation issue introduced   - 0:42 — Podcast intro and host   - 1:24 — Email about Radzivin/Vatican anecdote   - 2:24 — Recap: Jewish history in Spain; Golden Age → decline   - 4:20 — 14th-century status: wealth, roles, rising anti-Jewish politics   - 7:17 — Civil war in Castile; Henry II's measures; Ferran Martínez's preaching   - 12:45 — Martinez's actions, weak government, lead-up to 1391   - 16:20 — June 1391 pogroms begin (Seville)   - 19:33 — Scale of conversions; conversos' motives and consequences   - 23:00 — Rav Crescas's account and leadership role   - 27:32 — Rebuilding efforts and royal interactions   - 32:21 — Conversos' social ascent; community tensions   - 37:22 — Tortosa disputation lead-up; Vincent Ferrer's influence   - 43:07 — Tortosa debate outcomes and further conversions   - 50:10 — Fragile recovery; papal/royal reversals   - 57:32 — 1449 Toledo unrest; purity-of-blood measures begin   - 1:02:16 — Long-term social exclusion of conversos; legacy and summary

If you've been posting consistently but still wondering “Why aren't my lead magnets converting?” or “Where are my aligned clients?” — this episode is a must-listen. In today's conversation, Michelle Thames is joined by Lauren Najar, a business coach and lead strategist who helps women entrepreneurs turn visibility into real revenue — without burnout, constant posting, or chasing algorithms. This episode breaks down what's actually working in 2025 when it comes to lead generation, intentional visibility, and building a sales ecosystem rooted in relationships. Lauren shares why most entrepreneurs already have leads (they just aren't tracking them), why content alone isn't enough anymore, and how simple conversations can turn into consistent clients. In This Episode, We Cover: Why “not having leads” is usually a tracking problem, not a visibility problem How to use Instagram intentionally as a top-of-funnel tool Why follower count does not equal income The biggest mistake entrepreneurs make relying on content alone What intentional visibility really looks like in 2025 How to build a lead ecosystem that fits your business model The truth about lead magnets — and why most PDFs don't convert What types of lead magnets actually work right now The most underrated lead generation strategy: DM relationships Key Takeaway: You don't need more content — you need more intentional conversations and better systems to track and nurture the leads you already have.

Marketing should operate like a well-oiled machine. One offer leading into the next. But — that is FAR from what business owners actually do. Marketing instead feels ad hoc, based on seasons of busyness or launches. So, in this episode of the HerBusiness Podcast, I'm talking to Amanda Farmer of Your Strata Property about building a marketing system that attracts, converts, and keeps your ideal clients. Amanda has built a leveraged marketing system that brings clients from one offer to the next — and she's giving us a peek behind the curtain. Here's What You'll Discover in this Episode:  The basics of the Marketing Mountains system, coined by Michelle Falzon, and what looking at your entire product/service suite in its entirety will reveal. The methods Amanda uses to ATTRACT her ideal clients into her world — and which strategies work best. The one, repeated event that consistently CONVERTS Amanda's clients (she's been using this for years… and it still works!) What goes into KEEPING the clients she acquires, and how she intertwines her offers — so she always has a "next step" to take. How Amanda decides which marketing activities to double-down on (and which to throw out!) Why planning your marketing with a birds-eye view of your year prevents adhoc strategies or disjointed offers from popping up. How to create offers that work together so that you can leverage your time, pitch to your pre-existing clients (so you're not constantly chasing new leads), and… make more money!

What actually makes a brand break through and stay relevant long after the hype fades? I wanted to explore that question with someone who sees behind the scenes of real growth, not just what looks good online. In this episode, I sit down with Emily Hickey to talk about what performance marketing really means, why specificity matters more than volume, and how the smartest brands focus on what is already working instead of chasing every new idea. We get into product positioning, influencer strategy, why hero products matter, and how marketing decisions connect directly to identity and behavior. We also talk about fitness, discipline, GLP-1 medications, and why building a business often forces you to build yourself at the same time. Emily Hickey is the co-founder and CEO of Chief Detective, a performance marketing agency working with leading consumer brands across Meta, Google, and social platforms. She also advises companies like Goop and Weight Watchers, helping leadership teams think clearly about growth, positioning, and longevity.

In this engaging Ask Away episode, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe tackles listener questions on everyday halacha and deeper Jewish concepts. Key topics include:Leaving negative Google reviews: Permissible only if consistently poor (to protect others), not for one-off bad experiences, to avoid lashon hara.Converts reciting Kaddish for non-Jewish parents: Not forbidden, and may merit their souls (as Avraham elevated his father Terach), though its full effect is unclear; honoring parents remains relevant.Modern rabbinic ordination (semicha): The biblical Sanhedrin chain ended with the Second Temple, but the unbroken rabbi-to-student transmission continues today, granting authority through rigorous testing—distinct from mere professional licensing.Blessings on processed foods (juices, oat milk, Pringles, soups): When original form changes significantly, default to Shehakol; priorities and mixtures follow complex rules (e.g., separate blessings for distinct components in soup).Continuing to eat after benching: Allowed, but requires new brachot.Fluctuating faith and synagogue-hopping: Hashem cherishes every effort; simple, heartfelt prayer anywhere strengthens connection—encouragement over self-criticism.Jews as "non-fighters" yet having a strong army: Victories are supernatural miracles (stories from 1948, Six-Day War, recent conflicts), not natural might—Hashem fights our battles when we stay close to Torah.The episode overflows with inspiring stories of divine protection and encouragement to appreciate open Torah study in America amid 2,000 years of relentless persecution.Please submit your questions at askaway@torchweb.org_____________The Everyday Judaism Podcast is dedicated to learning, understanding and appreciating the greatness of Jewish heritage and the Torah through the simplified, concise study of Halacha, Jewish Law, thereby enhancing our understanding of how Hashem wants us to live our daily lives in a Jewish way._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Marshall & Doreen LernerDownload & Print the Everyday Judaism Halacha Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RL-PideM42B_LFn6pbrk8MMU5-zqlLG5This episode (Ep. #79) of the Everyday Judaism Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH is dedicated to my dearest friends, Marshall & Doreen Lerner!

I'm closing out 2025 with a candid reflection on the biggest lessons I've learned this year — about staying adaptable, protecting my freedom, and doubling down on what really matters in my coaching business.

Here's what I'm sharing: Why market shifts aren't a reason to panic — they're an invitation to get curious How going back to my beta mindset helped me test, tweak, and learn through uncertainty Why it's not just okay to change your mind — it's essential if you want a business that lasts What it actually took to step away for two months this summer while keeping revenue steady The single biggest constant in business: your funnel — and why it's the thing to protect when everything else feels uncertain If you've been craving a grounded, encouraging take on how to move into 2026 with confidence, clarity, and calm — this one's for you.

"We're not just telling stories anymore—we're helping people make sense of the world."That's the powerful message behind this week's episode of Nonprofit Nation featuring Kristen Grimm, founder and strategist of Spitfire Strategies, a leading communications firm that helps nonprofits, foundations, and social changemakers sharpen their voice and deepen their impact.In this conversation, Kristen introduces the concept of “meaning-making” — the process of helping people interpret what's happening around them, understand what it means, and decide how to act. With the world experiencing unprecedented levels of uncertainty, polarization, and complexity, Kristen argues that communicators now face a once-in-a-generation opportunity to help people cut through the noise and find clarity, purpose, and direction.Drawing on her recently published meaning-making blog series, Kristen shares a timely roadmap for nonprofit leaders looking to rise above the chaos and communicate with resonance. You'll hear about the different phases of meaning-making, how to spot a "meaning-making window" when it opens, and why now is the time to shift from persuasion to perspective-shaping.

In this episode, Larry and Cody deliver a complete plug-and-play framework for coaches who struggle to build offers that actually land with clients. They break down the two prerequisites every coach must meet before crafting an offer: knowing exactly who your ideal client is, and having a product or service that genuinely solves their problem. Without these two pieces, even the best marketing copy in the world won't save you.  From there, the hosts walk through the “Why This / Why You / Why Now” framework and apply it in real-world language that any coach can implement immediately. They illustrate how to articulate the specific problem your offer solves, why you're uniquely qualified to deliver the solution, and why the client should start now. They also show how stories—not statistics—drive real buying behavior and how testimonials should reflect the avatar you're trying to reach.  Finally, Larry and Cody reveal the value equation behind every high-converting offer: dream outcome, proof of likelihood, fast first win, and low perceived effort. They connect this directly to Active Life's assessment process, helping coaches understand how to structure, name, and deliver an offer that passes every prospect's logical and emotional filters. If you're a coach trying to sell responsibly, clearly, and confidently—this is a masterclass. 

The converts may have reverted to paganism but the impact would still be felt.

Lead generation isn't about getting more traffic. It's about getting the right person to take the right next step. Online advertising, funnels, and lead gen only work when they operate as one system: message → offer → page → follow-up. If any piece is weak, you don't “need more ads.” You need a tighter flow.…

Sales conversations feel vulnerable. Raw. Exposed.It's not your certifications or your follower count or the fact that you don't have the “perfect” line to say.It's that somewhere along the way, you started performing.Polishing yourself. Shrinking your edges. Trying to sound like the “ideal doula” instead of the real you.And polished? Polished doesn't convert.In this episode, we're throwing out the performative BS and getting back to what actually books clients:✨ Your presence ✨ Your intuition ✨ Your human-to-human connection ✨ Your ability to hold emotional space—not just in labor, but on the consult tooI'm breaking down:

Have you ever felt like you're doing all the right things with your messaging… yet it still isn't landing the way you know it could? You're showing up consistently. You're sharing value. You're following the strategies. But something about your message still feels off, or worse, invisible. In episode 469 of Amplify Your Success podcast, I'm joined by Samantha Riley, Human Design expert and business strategist, to explore why traditional messaging frameworks often fail for entrepreneurs, and how integrating your Human Design can help you express your brilliance with clarity, confidence, and resonance. Samantha and I dive into the five key Human Design elements that influence how your message is received, how you communicate most effectively, and how your natural energetic signature shapes client attraction. You'll even hear a bit about my own Human Design chart and how it's influencing my offers, brand and messaging. When you align your message with your Human Design, everything feels easier, and you stop trying to "sound like an expert" and start sounding like you. If you're ready for messaging that feels authentic, aligned, and powerfully compelling, this conversation will help you tap into a deeper level of expression and visibility. Key Takeaways: [03:12] Why so many entrepreneurs feel their message is falling flat online — and how Human Design bridges that gap. [07:45] The five Human Design elements Samantha uses to help clients refine and align their messaging. [11:10] How your Type determines the energetic tone of your messaging (and why some people are not meant to initiate). [16:30] What your Authority reveals about how you communicate decisions and guide your audience. [20:58] Why your Profile shapes the role you're designed to play in your client's transformation. [24:20] How undefined and defined Centers affect the way you communicate trust, leadership, and expertise. [29:44] Real-world examples of messaging pitfalls that happen when you operate outside your design. [33:55] The energetic shifts and aligned actions that make your message instantly more magnetic.

The twentieth century is understood as an era of growing, inexorable secularism, yet in Britain between the 1890s and the 1960s there was a marked turn to Rome. In the first half of the century, Catholicism became an intellectual and spiritual fashion attracting more than half a million converts, including fascinating artists, writers, and thinkers. What drew these men and women to join the church, and what difference did conversion make to them? In Converts: From Oscar Wilde to Muriel Spark, Why So Many Became Catholic in the 20th Century (Yale UP, 2025), Melanie McDonagh examines the lives of these notable converts from the perspective of their faith. For the Decadent circle of Aubrey Beardsley and Oscar Wilde—who converted on his deathbed—artists such as Gwen John and David Jones, the philosopher Elizabeth Anscombe, and novelists including G. K. Chesterton, Graham Greene, Evelyn Waugh, and Muriel Spark, Catholicism offered stability in increasingly febrile times. McDonagh explores their lives and influences, the reaction to their conversions, and the priests who initiated them into their faith. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

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. Her message is clear: in a noisy world filled with apathy and misinformation, storytelling is not a nice-to-have - it's absolutely essential.

"What content should I be posting to sell?" It's the question we get asked more than any other. And with every platform changing constantly, the algorithm shifting, and AI making "educational content" obsolete, it's no wonder everyone's confused. But here's the truth: While tactics change, the fundamentals of what makes content convert haven't changed at all. In this episode, Jenny and I are breaking down exactly what content actually converts in 2026, not what gets likes, not what goes viral, but what gets DMs, bookings, and most importantly, SALES. We're diving into the 4Rs of conversion content (the framework we teach inside Empire Era), why educational content alone isn't enough anymore, and what's actually working right now across platforms.

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/

Unity Without Compromise with Dr. Steven LaTulippe – Catholic conversions surge as Americans seek stability, authority, and spiritual depth in turbulent times.

What does it take to lead with strength and compassion when your work revolves around trauma, crisis, and healing?In this episode, I'm joined by Bridgette Stumpf, CEO and Co-Founder, and Lindsey Silverberg, Executive Director at Volare, a nonprofit based in Washington, DC that provides free, trauma-informed legal, advocacy, and therapeutic services to survivors of crime. Formerly known as the Network for Victim Recovery of DC (NVRDC), Volare has grown from a grassroots startup into a $5M organization with national reach.Bridgette and Lindsey share what it takes to lead in the survivor services space - from building resilient teams and navigating resource scarcity, to advocating for systemic reform and shifting how organizations think about trauma, healing, and justice.We also talk about how they use storytelling, marketing, and even their own podcast (TraumaTies) to engage with their community while honoring the complexity and sensitivity of the work.

Carrolee Moore shares her journey from a brand and marketing agency owner to becoming an expert in podcast guesting, highlighting how podcasting became her preferred platform for authentic connection and visibility as an introvert. She explains that after conducting market research and discovering a widespread challenge among entrepreneurs—gaining meaningful visibility—she launched her own podcast guesting service. This decision proved successful when she secured over $20,000 in clients at a single conference, confirming the strong business potential in helping others share their stories on podcasts.
