David Schwab (@David_Schwab), Executive Vice President at Octagon, joins Sports Business Radio to discuss the ad lineup for #SuperBowl 58 in Las Vegas on February 11. Companies will pay over $7M for the airtime on CBS for a 30-second ad during the telecast. Schwab, who works closely with top brands, celebrities and influencers, tells us how much the companies advertising in the Super Bowl are likely paying for celebrities to appear in their Super Bowl ad, how much production of the ad will likely cost and how the companies should be activating their Super Bowl ad online before and after the big game. Schwab also discusses the impact of Las Vegas hosting the Super Bowl for the first time ever and the parties that will be thrown during the week leading up to the game. Lastly, we ask David if he thinks the viewing audience for this Super Bowl will break last year's all-time record viewing audience of 115.1M viewers.

Let us ask you a question, fundraiser: When it comes to crunch time for your fundraising campaigns, do you feel intense pressure to find a poster child for your nonprofit, capture their iconic story, and optimize it to deliver maximum donations?Look into our eyes, listener, and hear us when we say that's a daunting task for anyone. It's no wonder storytelling stresses nonprofits out!But there is a way, and you're about to hear the secret directly from one of the storytelling greats. Olga M. Woltman has the key to discovering, creating, and distributing stories that will compel connections and keep donors coming back time after time.Spoiler alert: it doesn't involve parading a poster child around, invading your clients' privacy, or making something up.Today, Olga and David Schwab, Funraise's Director of Growth Marketing have the scoop for you on how to ethically and empathetically uncover the captivating stories just beneath the surface, weave relevant impact stats and authentic conversations throughout, and choose the perfect moment to release them for incredible impact.

Many nonprofits struggle to deliver meaningful content in a way that engages their donor base. It tracks; you can have the coolest impact story, but if it's just sitting on your website waiting for donors to come to it, it's not truly making the impact it was designed for.If that sounds like something your nonprofit struggles with, this episode is for you! Today, Funraise's Director of Growth Marketing, David Schwab, is talking to David Bowden, spoken word poet and Co-Founder & Executive Director of Spoken Gospel, a nonprofit that has a mind-boggling 50 million-plus engagements of their video, devotional, reading plan, and podcast-based content. They've got 151,000 subscribers to their YouTube channel!We think “holy moly” is an appropriate response.Plot twist: Spoken Gospel's entire content creation model relies on lots of listening, not talking. David focuses on building individual relationships based on each member's unique interests—and it's paid off in a strong recurring program that responds to Spoken Gospel's needs and asks alike.Sure, David's got the greatest story ever told to guide Spoken Gospel's nonprofit story, but making the content itself approachable and relevant is key to attracting the type of donor that sticks around for the mission long term. So listen in!
John Walsh comes to the Nonstop Nonprofit podcast through a purely digital path that began with some of the hardest-to-engage audiences and then expanded to include broader digital strategies. These days, he advocates for nonprofits to lean into digital fundraising, with his specific passion being email.As a self-proclaimed “digital guy” himself, our host David Schwab has seen how digital fundraising's speed, directness, and consistency contribute to donor awareness and engagement in ways that direct mail can't. But just like you all, he's still learning—and John makes that education exciting!Listen in as John teaches us how a holistic communication strategy adds value to all of your fundraising channels, provides actionable first steps for email newbies, and shares his secrets to keeping digital fundraising fresh and successful.
The road to $1 million isn't an easy or fast one to travel.Only 9% of nonprofits in the Los Angeles area grow to manage a budget of $1 million. Ten years ago, when Richard Reyes founded the PLUS ME Project, his budget was $4000 and his vision was to provide mentorship and role models for youth through storytelling.Today, an exciting part of this achievement is that PLUS ME's own growth story is still unfolding, expanding, and providing guidance and inspiration to other nonprofits just as their mentors provide role models for the youth they lead.As a nonprofiteer and consultant in the nonprofit space, Funraise's Director of Growth Marketing, David Schwab, has seen the results when nonprofits rely on storytelling to build supporter relationships—and what happens when those same supporters have their stories silenced. (Spoiler alert: it's called donor churn.)Join David and Richard as they discuss the ways that new fundraising tactics like peer-to-peer are a natural fit for PLUS ME's mission, what their COVID pivot-and-response taught the PLUS ME team, and how PLUS ME's usage of and reliance on technology has evolved on their road to $1 million.

Jenny and David talk about his time at Miami and his experiences since graduating. The Farmer School and Jenny thank David for his work, and look forward to continuing his legacy.
Big news ahead for Beyond High Street but before I share, please let me reminisce for a moment. When I started Beyond High Street three years ago, I set forth to find the commonality for Miamians and all of us that ventured through the cornfields into Oxford, beautiful Oxford. But I learned and gained so much more. I built new and deep friendships, created mentor and mentee experiences and even personally invested with a few of my guests. I’ve had the pleasure of talking to wrestlers, CEOs, authors, doctors, visionaries, actors, producers, journalists, sports executives and many others. Each have shared their personal tales of Miami and life since. I am humbled for each and every one of the conversations and time they spent to participate. Beginning Monday, Beyond High Street will have a new host (stay tuned) and I am honored to participate as a guest for the first time. Beyond High Street will continue on! Thank you so much for participating, listening, sharing and supporting this journey and the Miami community. See you all at Skipper’s for a pint real soon. #LoveAndHonor

With the same authors (led by Felix Hill along with David Barrett, Adam Santoro, Tim Lillicrap), Ari showed that while architecture choice can influence generalization performance, the choice of data and the manner in which it is presented to the model is even more critical.(48:18) Ari discussed "Neural Scene Representation and Rendering” (led by Ali Eslami and Danilo Rezende) that introduces Generative Query Network (GQN), a framework within which machines learn to represent scenes using only their own sensors (watch the video and check out the data).(55:09) Ari explained the findings in "Analyzing Biological and Artificial Neural Networks: Challenges with Opportunities for Synergy?” published at the Current Opinion in Neurobiology (joint work with David Barrett and Jakob Macke).(57:04) Ari shared the properties of pruning algorithms that influence stability and generalization, as claimed in “The Generalization-Stability Tradeoff in Neural Network Pruning” led by Brian Bartoldson.(01:00:56) Ari went over the generalization of lottery tickets in neural networks, which is inspired by the lottery ticket hypothesis from Jonathan Frankle and Michael Carbin at MIT. The two papers mentioned are collaboration with Haonan Yu, Yuandong Tian, Michela Paganini, and Sergey Edunov (Check out his talk at REWORK Deep Learning Summit in Montreal 2019).(01:09:00) Ari investigated "Training BatchNorm and Only BatchNorm” which looks at the performance of neural networks when trained only with the Batch Normalization parameters (joint work with Jonathan Frankle and David Schwab).(01:12:12) Ari mentioned "The Early Phase of Neural Network Training” (presented at ICML 2020) that uses the lottery ticket framework to rigorously examine the early part of the training (joint work with Jonathan Frankle and David Schwab). (01:16:25) Ari discussed at length “Representation Learning Through Latent Canonicalizations" (presented at ICLR 2020). This work seeks to learn representations in which semantically meaningful factors of variation (like color or shape) can be independently manipulated by learned linear transformations in latent space, termed “latent canonicalizes” (joint work with Or Litany, Srinath Sridhar, Leonidas Guibas, and Judy Hoffman).(01:22:15) Ari summarized "Selectivity Considered Harmful: Evaluating the Causal Impact of Class Selectivity in DNNs" - which investigates the causal impact of class selectivity on network function (led by Matthew Leavitt).(01:25:26) Ari reflected on his career and shared advice for individuals who want to make a dent in AI research.(01:28:10) Ari shared his excitement on self-supervised learning, which addresses the need of neural networks to require expensive labeled data.(01:29:47) Closing segment.His Contact InformationWebsiteGoogle ScholarLinkedInTwitterGitHubHis Recommended Resources“Understanding Deep Learning Requires Rethinking Generalization” by Chiyuan Zhang“Singular Vector Canonical Correlation Analysis for Deep Learning Dynamics and Interpretability” by Maithra RaghuRaven’s Progressive Matrices IQ test"The Lottery Ticket Hypothesis” by Jonathan Frankle and Michael Carbin (Open-Source Framework)“Random Features for Large-Scale Kernel Machines” by Ali Rahimi and Ben Recht (NIPS 2017 Test Of Time Award)“beta-VAE: Learning Basic Visual Concepts with a Constrained Variational Framework” by DeepMindSamy Bengio (Research Scientist at Google AI)Aleksander Madry (Professor of Computer Science at MIT)Jason Yosinski (Founding Member of Uber AI Labs)“The Idea Factory: Bell Labs and The Great Age of American Innovation" by Jon Gertner

Check out my audio below where I share my vision of this new pod, Beyond High Street. Since graduating more than 20 years ago, I have always wondered what it is – what’s the commonality of all Miami students. We were willing to venture into the farmland and into the corn stalks of southwest Ohio, we left major cities to study and live in a tiny, rural community for 4 years and for some, even more. I’ll say this - whatever it is - it drives us. It’s why Miami consistently ranks in the top 5 in the country in producing Fortune 500 CEOs and CMOs and It’s why you have seen Miami names on the executive leaderboard at Instagram, twitter and other emerging global brands. The list of Entrepreneurs, business heads, community leaders, media executives and authors is endless, it even includes a former United States President and Super Bowl winning quarterback. I am going to have weekly conversations with these alum (releasing every Wednesday) and dig into their current experiences and what drove them to Miami and how Miami helped them turn that drive into tangible success. I hope you enjoy the pod and do share with all Miamians. And follow along on twitter via @BeyondHighSt. -David Schwab
