The nonprofit is an intertribal organization that advocates on behalf of thirty-three federally recognized Tribal Nations, from the Northeastern Woodlands to the Everglades and across the Gulf of Mexico. On this episode, Ashton shares about their social justice work as student body president at Carolina (and reflections from the 2023 reunion of former student body presidents at the Morehead-Cain Foundation), their path to working in public policy for Tribal Nations as a recent graduate, and the complexities of working in tribal law and policy. Ashton also gives guidance in using respectful language when referring to Tribal Nations. Prior to joining the fund, Ashton worked as the Rodney B. Lewis Fellow in American Indian Law and Policy at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP.

In Episode 38, we are joined by Steve Goyer and Dennis Whittle, a minister and an entrepreneur, who walk regularly, contemplating what is working and not working in today's religious organizations. We wanted to talk with them about their walks and explore what has arisen from their conversations. As we interviewed them, it was clear that Steve and Dennis were giving us a peek at their own dynamic competence as they wrestled with this question of what a new church might look like for them, both internally and externally. Steve Goyer is the current interim Pastor at Riverside Presbyterian Church in Jax, Fl.  He has been a Senior pastor at Presbyterian Churches in Charlotte, NC, Atlanta Ga, and Jacksonville Fl. Steve retired in 2019 and was asked to stay on the interim Paster and is retiring again this year…we'll see how that goes. We know many of his congregational members and Steve is a beloved figure in the church. His humbleness and devotion to his community, combined with his porousness to new ideas and approaches provides the vessel for a rich connection to the spiritual.Dennis Whittle is a very successful entrepreneur who has spent many years focusing on entrepreneurship for good. He is the founder and president of The Whittle Group and facilitates a number of wide ranging networks that focus on global issues of change to local citizen feedback loops. Steve has worked globally as Economist, including a stint at the world bank and continues to share his knowledge as a visiting lecturer and fellow at top universities and non-profits, like the Center for Global development. A funny story, while we were working on the podcast, Dennis took a week off and sent a photo to us of him sitting with Yo Yo Ma, discussing social entrepreneurism, I perfect way to capture the seriousness and influence of Dennis as well as the fun he has with life.

Devin: Mari, what’s your superpower?Mari: I love to learn new things, and I like to think that other people in this organization are motivated to learn new things because I’m constantly sending out Slack messages, e-mail messages, you know, about, check out this new article. Did you see what so-and-so said? Think about the implications for this. I find all this work incredibly important, incredibly fascinating. The other thing that I’m incredibly grateful for is that this has been a job where I learn every day.You can watch the full interview with Mari here: mari.s4g.biz.Mari Kuraishi co-founded and later led Global Giving, a nonprofit crowdfunding site for international development that could be the first crowdfunding site ever. She created it with Dennis Whittle (see Chapter 41) about a decade before Indiegogo or Kickstarter launched.While at the World Bank, Mari learned that at the same time it was providing money to a few large institutions in each country, there were millions of people and small organizations working to solve problems. These folks needed money, too. She concluded that if they received the funds required, they could solve many of their own issues.Years later, while networking, Mari met a person who responded to her introduction as a leader at Global Giving by saying, “Oh, I’ve heard of you guys. You guys work with the great unwashed.”“My jaw dropped,” Mari says. “I mean, first, because the statement was outrageous, even back in 2001, right? But then I was like, ‘Yes, damn it. We are the outfit that works for the great unwashed.’”And work she has. Since its founding, Global Giving has raised over $500 million for international nonprofits serving people in the developing world. In 2020 alone, donations reached $100 million.Mari is proud of the flexible culture she led at Global Giving. Having come from a large organization with many rules, she helped form a company governed by values instead. The company focuses on the mission and challenges employees not to complete tasks but to contribute meaningfully to accomplishing the primary goal to help people in the developing world.Mari says she’s not sure her ability and enthusiasm for learning have contributed directly to Global Giving’s measurable impact on people around the world. As the objective arbiter I’ve appointed myself to be, I am sure. Her superpower has helped change the world for the better.How to Develop Learning as a SuperpowerYou can become a better learner. If you take to it like Mari, it can become your superpower. To help me with this book, Mari agreed to a follow-up interview that you can watch here: mari2.s4g.biz.Mari notes that it is vital to know yourself. She observed that she liked to develop a plan and stick to it. Events that derailed her plans irritated her. Over the years, she’s learned to adapt and now celebrates the sorts of events that once annoyed her. She sees how even significant events that impose life-altering adjustments can be good things. She recognizes that she has found wonderful things at points in her life precisely because of a derailment.Take time to get to know yourself. Mari says one of the vital things to understand about yourself and learning is that “people learn in different ways.” You need to know what sort of learner you are.Scientists haven’t settled firmly on the number of discreet learning styles. One popular model is called VARK, an acronym for four learning styles.Visual. These learners (I think I’m in this group) learn by seeing things.Auditory. This group learns by hearing lessons.Reading and writing. Such students learn best by reading and writing about a subject.Kinesthetic. Some people learn by touching or by doing a task better than by other methods.Most people learn best in one way, but that doesn’t mean they only do it in that style. It is easy to find simplistic online assessments to help you assess your learning style. That may be an excellent place to start.Mari’s primary lesson about learning is profound. Rather than focus on learning facts, processes or skills, she talked about the need to learn about people. She said, “Every place and every person—even organizations—has a story that’s unique.”The lesson from Mari is in how we get past the surface level familiarity with people to find deeper hidden realities. She uses the example of your reaction to a friend or colleague who says, “Oh, I didn’t sleep well last night.” What you say next will determine what you learn.Imagine how different the response to each of the following reactions will be.“Well, did you drink coffee last night?”“Oh, I’m sorry to hear that; what was going on that made you not sleep well last night?”From the second reaction question, you could learn something that matters. “You might discover something about that person that you had no idea about, even though you may have been working with that person for years,” Mari says.“Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way,” wrote Tolstoy as the opening line to Anna Karenina. Mari points out that learning to know people is about understanding Tolstoy’s message and applying it in our interactions with others.As you think about learning, you may see yourself in Mari. You may be capable of learning as a superpower. I’m convinced it can help you change the world. If it’s not your superpower, it could at least make you happier.“Anyone who is open to learning, and the change that comes from learning, might end up happier,” Mari says.

Oldham Comic Con 2019 (or Oldham Comic Con 3, to give it its proper title), run by Dennis Whittle is a comics-centric convention, is now in its third year and managing to attract some incredible names to its guest list, mostly small press and indie but bolstered by some impressive mainstream comics guests, including a couple of international talents. Held this year in the Queen Elizabeth Hall, the show continues its tradition of being a completely free event (something that Dennis insists will always be the case), encouraging a crowd of all ages through its doors... Here, in this interview held with Dennis on a very rare chance for him to stop and take a breather, he talks about what it has taken to put on the show, along with why he's determined not to let Oldham Comic Con to grow to become a monster... Thanks to Dennis for the opportunity to talk during his very busy convention. Find out more about Oldham Comic Con at: https://www.facebook.com/oldhamcomiccon/ Intro Music: 'Punky', bensounds.com

Never miss another interview! Join Devin here: http://bit.ly/joindevin. Read the full Forbes article and watch the interview here: http://bit.ly/2upxsGo. When Mari Kuraishi and Dennis Whittle, 57, launched what became GlobalGiving back in the late 1990s, the term “crowdfunding” was not in use—and wouldn’t come into vogue for nearly a decade. These two are clearly on the short list of candidates for those who can credibly make the claim to have invented internet-based crowdfunding. Today, the term crowdfunding means many things to many people. All those things have in common the idea of gathering funds from many people and most of those meanings include the use of the internet as a central feature. GlobalGiving gathers donations for international nonprofits. According to Kuraishi, who married Whittle while both were working at the World Bank, before leaving together to launch the site, “GlobalGiving has delivered $332 million to nearly 20,000 projects in 170 countries supporting community-led projects since 2002. We've also helped 780,000 donors find vetted nonprofits.” Read the full Forbes article and watch the interview here: http://bit.ly/2upxsGo.

I’d like to start today’s episode with a quick, informal poll. Ask yourself: as a social sector professional, do you regularly receive calls or emails from the people who you’re trying to help where they ask - with great anticipation - about when the next version of your project or programme will be released? While this regularly happens for other sectors, like mobile phones, automobiles, and fashion, for the vast majority of us in the social sector, the answer to this question is, emphatically, no. The disconnect that this question exposes is the foundation that Dennis Whittle, who is my guest for today’s 158th Terms of Reference Podcast, stumbled upon a few years back and which has now grown into a powerful collaborative effort to change how we help those in need. Dennis is the Executive Director of Feedback Labs, an organization that aims to change the norms in development, aid, and philanthropic policy to be more responsive to the people that those policies aim to help. Before Feedback Labs, Dennis was the co-founder of the groundbreaking Global Giving platform. This is an important conversation because after we talk about the origins of Feedback Labs, we get into how they are helping to flip the, generally, top-down approach of the social sector to one that is truly responsive to local needs. The organizations that make up Feedback Labs believe we’re now at a stage where you cannot NOT afford to get feedback from those you seek to help and Dennis beautifully relates common issues faced by organizations and governments in being adaptive. So I invite you to sit back and enjoy this conversation with Dennis that looks to a future where feedback is not only the connected thing to do, but also the expected thing to do.

On this special edition of Returns on Investment, we're featuring a panel discussion from The Liquidnet for Good 10 Year Anniversary Forum. The conversation focuses on the future of philanthropy and includes Fay Twersky of the Hewlett Foundation, Dennis Whittle of Feedback Labs, and Blue Meridian's Chuck Harris. The moderator is business and philanthropy journalist Mark Gunther. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/impact-alpha/message
