Podcasts about First Day

In this episode of The First Day from The Fund Raising School, Bill Stanczykiewicz, Ed.D., welcomes Soren Kaplan, PhD, nationally regarded educator, consultant, and author, for a practical and energizing conversation about nonprofit collaboration. Drawing from Soren's 2025 article in the Stanford Social Innovation Review, the episode asks a big question: why should fundraisers and nonprofit leaders collaborate when they already have plenty to do inside their own organizations? Soren's answer is wonderfully direct: impact. Big, tangled community challenges like food insecurity, health equity, and environmental protection are rarely solved by one organization paddling alone. Bill and Soren explore what collaboration looks like in real nonprofit life, including examples from Points of Light and White Pony Express. Points of Light, founded by George H. W. Bush, served more than 3 million volunteers last year by building a network of nonprofits and corporate partners around shared goals. White Pony Express, meanwhile, worked with other food-security organizations in Contra Costa County to pool data, standardize information, and create a heat map showing where services were strong and where gaps remained. That shared picture helped open up new possibilities for collective action, which is nonprofit-speak for “Aha, now we can see the whole elephant instead of arguing over who is holding the trunk.” The conversation also digs into the mechanics of making collaboration work without turning it into a bureaucratic octopus wearing reading glasses. Soren emphasizes the value of a common goal, shared data, a clearly identified community need, and an external facilitator who can help organizations move past competition and toward synergy. He also introduces the idea of “light governance,” where each nonprofit remains autonomous but agrees to align major strategies and initiatives with the broader collaborative mission. In other words, nobody has to surrender their board, mission, or identity at the door. They just agree not to wander off into the weeds while everyone else is building the road. Bill and Soren close by connecting collaboration directly to fundraising. Donors and funders increasingly want to see innovation, scale, efficiency, and measurable impact, and a strong collaborative can often make a more compelling case than several individual organizations submitting separate appeals. Soren notes that when nonprofits pool capabilities and pursue funding together, they can sometimes access resources that would be out of reach alone, including the Measure X half-cent sales tax funding that supported underserved communities in Contra Costa County. The takeaway is clear: collaboration is not just a feel-good handshake in a conference room. Done well, it can expand impact, strengthen fundraising, build culture, and give nonprofits a better story to tell. Because when one plus one can equal five, fundraisers should probably sharpen their pencils and start doing that math.

He Interrupted Her Mid-Sentence and Said "I Don't Agree." She Asked: "How Many Recruitment Drives Have You Led?" CHRO Deepashri on Standing Your Ground It was her first day in a new role. The leadership team was deep into planning the launch of a major production system. She raised her hand and asked: "What about the people strategy?" Everyone looked at her like she was speaking a different language. "What does people have to do with this? It's a manufacturing system." She asked again. Still dismissed. Still polite. Still ignored. She could have let it go. Instead, she spent six months building an irrefutable business case. She spoke to the consultants. She researched the ROI. She calculated exactly what would be lost if people failed to adopt the system. She pre-worked the stakeholders she already had relationships with, one by one, so she would not be the only voice in the room when the moment came. Then she walked into a meeting with the global head of manufacturing, the global head of HR, and the other senior sponsors. She was the only woman in the room. She was a nervous wreck. She had her game face on. She got the budget. She got the resources. She built a people pillar that outlasted her, survived an acquisition, and is still running today. Deepashri is Chief Human Resources Officer at 8th Ave Food and Provisions. In this episode, she shares two very different stories of standing her ground at work — one strategic and six months in the making, one instinctive and decided in seconds — and what she learned from both. You'll learn: Why she refused to use HR buzzwords like "empathy" or "doing the right thing" when pitching to hard-nosed manufacturing executives, and what she said instead to make her idea impossible to ignore. The pre-meeting strategy she uses before any high-stakes pitch: influence the people you already have relationships with one-on-one first, so you are never the only advocate in the room. How she walked into the biggest pitch of her career feeling like a nervous wreck, knowing that if she failed, she would be "just another person on the leadership team with no voice." The investment banker who interrupted her mid-sentence and said "I don't agree." What she said back, why she still calls him a friend today, and what happened when she pulled it off. Why she thought she was being assertive in a conversation that completely failed to land, what her coach told her, and the three-part technique she developed to deliver the most difficult messages in a way that registered clearly without feeling disrespectful. Why assertiveness looks and sounds different across cultures, and how she learned to calibrate between India's indirect communication style and the blunt directness expected in U.S. corporate environments. Her best career compliment: "Deeps will tell you the most difficult things in the nicest possible way." About Deepashri: Chief Human Resources Officer at 8th Ave Food and Provisions, Deepashri has built her career across global HR, change management, and organizational transformation roles in India and the United States. She is a coach, storyteller, and advocate for assertive communication across cultures.

In this episode of The First Day from The Fund Raising School, Bill Stanczykiewicz, Ed.D., welcomes Jasmin Graham, founder, president, and CEO of Minorities in Shark Sciences, for an energetic conversation about leadership, vision, representation, and yes, sharks. Jasmin shares how her lifelong connection to the ocean, her curiosity for science, and one fateful Twitter exchange with other Black women shark scientists helped launch an organization dedicated to moving people “from fear to fascination” while broadening participation in marine science. What began as a club quickly became a nonprofit after Jasmin and her co-founders planned to raise $24,000 in a year and instead raised it in a week. That is not a fundraising goal; that is a cannonball into the deep end of donor enthusiasm. Bill and Jasmin explore how Minorities in Shark Sciences tackles both ocean conservation and systemic barriers in the scientific field. Jasmin explains that marine science often relies on unpaid internships or “pay-to-play” opportunities, creating financial obstacles for students and professionals who do not have a safety net. Her organization offers K–12 outreach, field trips, camps, workshops, internships, fellowships, and hybrid programs for people changing careers or returning after disruptions. The mission is beautifully twofold: conserve endangered sharks and rays while uplifting scientists and conservation leaders from communities that have historically been left out of the boat, off the dock, and nowhere near the grant-funded snorkel gear. The conversation really gets its sea legs when Jasmin starts myth-busting sharks. While many people immediately picture Jaws, she reminds listeners that most sharks are about three feet long or less, many live in the deep sea, and some are downright adorable, including shy sharks, pajama cat sharks, and bonnetheads. Jasmin also offers a sobering statistic: sharks kill one or two people per year on average, while humans kill around 100 million sharks annually. In other words, sharks are not roaming the oceans looking for snacks; they have much more reason to fear us than we have to fear them. Bill and Jasmin close by connecting her leadership journey to fundraising success. Jasmin reflects on building a team with different communication styles, noting that each staff member's strengths naturally aligned with their role, from programming to operations to communications. She also offers a powerful lesson for nonprofit leaders: create a vision that is authentic to your mission, not one designed merely to “sell.” Early on, some people told her that Minorities in Shark Sciences was too narrow, but Jasmin stayed focused on the slice of the pie she was best equipped to change. The takeaway is clear: big ideas attract big support, but precise passion attracts the right support. Stay true to the mission, find donors who share it, and then go make waves.

Episode 421: On July 28, 1996, a fisherman hauling nets off the coast of Devon, England pulled up a body. The dead man had no wallet, no identification — nothing but a Rolex watch still ticking on his wrist. When British police traced the watch, it gave them a name: Ronald Joseph Platt, 51, of Essex. When they went looking for him, they found him — apparently alive. The trail led back across the Atlantic to Ayr, a small town in southwestern Ontario, where roughly seventy people had spent years trusting the wrong man with everything they had. By the time anyone understood what he'd done, he was already gone, and Ronald Platt was dead in the English Channel.

In hour 1, Sterling navigates a variety of "talk radio facts"—loosely verified claims ranging from conspiratorial stock market theories regarding Zoom and Dr. Fauci to skeptical critiques of modern wellness trends like the "5 a.m. club." The narrative structure blends personal anecdotes, such as a humorous injury sustained in a celebrity yoga class, with segments on specialized subcultures like global ham radio competitions and the success of films based on video game lore. In hour 2, Walter Sterling navigates a wide variety of social and topical issues, moving from personal anecdotes about the merits of homeschooling and the nuances of special needs education to discussions on LGBTQ+ identity and the ethics of the service industry. Threaded throughout the dialogue is a fascination with the unexplained, specifically regarding government transparency on UFOs and recent celestial events like a meteor blast. In hour 3, Walter Sterling features interviews with investigators like Dave Scott and Ross Coulart who explore the supernatural and extraterrestrial theories behind UFO sightings, specifically contrasting high-level political rhetoric with the perceived lack of "real" evidence provided to the public. Beyond the search for "the juice" regarding alien hybridization and interdimensional portals, the program transitions into a human-interest segment where listeners share personal anecdotes ranging from raising autistic children to finding neighborhood mechanics. In hour 4, Walter Sterling transitions from listener call-ins regarding generational laziness, local mysteries, and 9/11 conspiracy theories to the host's own philosophical reflections on the monotony of daily life. Sterling characterizes his audience as intellectually sharp night owls who stand in contrast to the "day people," whom he critiques for their perceived arrogance and rigid routines.

Fred wants to know when you think the week officially begins.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of The First Day from The Fund Raising School, Bill Stanczykiewicz, Ed.D., welcomes Neelam Makhijani, Director of Strategy and Operations for SUVIDHA, for a lively and practical conversation about blended financing; bringing different kinds of funders together to create long-term social impact. Neelam explains that blended financing combines private capital, government support, community resources, philanthropy, and sometimes market investment so nonprofits can use one source of funding as a catalyst to attract others. In other words: one dollar walks into the room, brings friends, and suddenly impact has a much bigger dance floor. Bill and Neelam explore why this approach is a gamechanger for nonprofits and NGOs. Unlike traditional grants, where organizations often receive money upfront and then report back later, many blended financing models focus on outcomes. The pressure shifts from “Here is what we plan to do” to “Here is what we actually achieved.” Neelam notes that investors may accept smaller financial returns because they also want social good, using tools like impact bonds, guarantees, and revolving funds. The key is designing the model well and defining outputs clearly, because “behavior change” may sound lovely on a brochure, but investors still need something more measurable than vibes in a spreadsheet. The conversation comes alive through examples. Bill shares the story of a donor who invested $300,000 to help an NGO build three affordable homes. Families rent the homes below market rate, eventually buy them, and then the money goes right back into building more houses. That is not a one-time gift; that is a philanthropic boomerang with a hard hat. Neelam offers another example from Mumbai, where women received small amounts of startup capital, sometimes just $300 or $400, to launch shops, salons, embroidery businesses, or poultry enterprises. By combining donor support, personal investment, and bank loans, these women became credit-ready, built income, gained dignity and decision-making power, and created ripple effects for their children and communities. Bill and Neelam close by turning to what nonprofits need in order to participate in blended financing responsibly. Neelam emphasizes that organizations need enough size and financial stability to absorb some risk, strong strategy, solid technical expertise, and robust monitoring and evaluation systems. Boards may need more business experience, staff may need stronger financial skills, and leaders must be willing to think like entrepreneurs without losing sight of mission. The takeaway is clear: blended financing is not just another fundraising trick hiding in a nonprofit magician's hat. Done well, it can diversify revenue, attract new partners, recycle dollars for ongoing impact, and help nonprofits move from “please fund our project” to “invest in our mission.”

They have been moms for one quarter of that time and it shows. How do they cope? They laugh about all of the craziness that comes with being a mom and they want you to laugh about it too! From snot to stretchmarks to sleepless nights, Kristin and Jen know firsthand that parenting is a hard job and they invite you to join them in taking it all a little less seriously (even if for a few short minutes a day).

Australian authorities take a softer approach to returning ISIS fighter's families, amid ongoing investigations into the women's activities overseas.

A conservation officer interviewed Richard Allen two days after Abby Williams and Libby German were found murdered. Allen said he'd been on the trail. He gave his name. He answered every question. And then his report was misfiled under the wrong name and sat in a box for five and a half years. That one clerical failure cost the investigation half a decade — time that was spent, according to the defense's appellate filings, losing interviews with suspects who admitted to pagan rituals and owned .40 caliber firearms, declining invitations to review surveillance footage, and marking tips as "cleared" without follow-through. The crime scene itself should have driven the investigation in a different direction. Officers on the ground believed it was too complex for a single perpetrator. The FBI's BAU found elements that couldn't exclude a ritualistic motive. And the only eyewitness who saw Bridge Guy up close described someone who looked nothing like Richard Allen — a young man in his twenties with poofy brown hair. She rated her sketch a perfect 10 for accuracy. The jury that convicted Allen never saw that sketch. They were asked to "fast forward" five years and convict on what remained after the court stripped away every piece of evidence that told a different story. This is the opening chapter of a five-part investigation into the decisions, failures, and institutional breakdowns that produced a conviction built, in my opinion, on a foundation that cannot hold.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this episode of The First Day from The Fund Raising School, Bill Stanczykiewicz, Ed.D., welcomes Connie Falcone, JD, founder and CEO of Firefly Athlete, for a conversation about what fundraisers need to know when sports and philanthropy collide. Connie brings serious insider credentials: seven seasons leading Cubs Charities, a 2016 World Series ring, and the proud title of “Connie from the Cubs.” Her work now focuses on helping athletes turn purpose into action by reducing the barriers that often keep them from engaging meaningfully in philanthropy. Bill and Connie unpack why philanthropy can be surprisingly hard for professional athletes, even with fame, resources, and cultural influence. Many athletes assume the first step is starting a nonprofit, but Connie warns that creating and running a charitable organization is a major undertaking, not exactly a “grab a lemonade stand outside Wrigley and call it a foundation” situation. Athletes face limited time, demanding training schedules, constant travel, family responsibilities, and a real need to protect their careers. As one NFL player told Connie, much of his day is spent figuring out how “not to get cut from the team.” The conversation also explores trust, access, and authenticity. Athletes are frequently approached by nonprofits, agents, teams, family members, and plenty of people who may or may not have the right expertise. Connie emphasizes that nonprofits should not simply chase star power; they should look for genuine alignment between the athlete's lived experience, values, and charitable interests. If an organization supports food insecurity, first responders, youth mentoring, or another cause, the best athlete partner is someone with a real connection to that mission. Otherwise, the partnership risks feeling like a celebrity sticker slapped on a brochure. Bill and Connie close with practical guidance for nonprofits considering athlete ambassadors. First, expect that securing an athlete's involvement may require paying a fee, especially at the beginning. That investment can open the door to a relationship that may grow over time, perhaps even into future giving. Second, nonprofits should understand what athlete ambassadors are best positioned to do: expand visibility, reach new audiences, and bring in everyday donors, rather than magically landing a million-dollar gift while fireworks explode over the end zone. The takeaway is clear: sports philanthropy works best when nonprofits lead with mission fit, patience, professionalism, and stewardship; not just a dream of getting a famous name on the gala invitation.
