Podcasts about First Day

In this episode of The First Day from The Fundraising School, host Bill Stanczykiewicz, Ed.D., sits down with veteran fundraiser and Scouting America CEO Andy Price, who is blazing a trail through the digital frontier with his trusty sidekick… an AI assistant named Cassie. Yes, Cassie. Named after a Netflix thriller, because why not? In this lively conversation, Bill and Andy explore how artificial intelligence is turbocharging everyday fundraising tasks, without replacing the humans who make it all meaningful. Andy walks us through his first encounter with AI as more than just a buzzword. It was January, he was in training, and boom; the floodgates opened. Since then, he and his team in Arizona have gone full warp speed. From daily donor emails to personalized thank-you notes that include fun tidbits like fishing and basketball references, Andy has trained ChatGPT (a.k.a. “Cassie”) to speak in his voice, remember his style, and save him time, lots of time. As Andy puts it, these are “30-second miracles” that used to take 15-20 minutes each. But it's not just about efficiency, it's about clarity, tone, and confidence. Andy explains how AI helps him fine-tune language to better reflect his intent, turning “robot-speak” into warm, human communication. He even uses Cassie as a digital rehearsal partner before donor meetings, role-playing pitch sessions and receiving real-time feedback that makes him a better communicator. That's right; AI as coach, not just copywriter. The result? More mental space, deeper donor relationships, and a staff that's working smarter, not harder. Bill and Andy also tackle the elephant in the fundraising room: Is AI coming for your job? Not even close. Andy's message is clear, AI isn't replacing fundraisers; it's empowering them. By automating routine tasks and standardizing messaging, staff can focus on what really matters: building genuine connections with donors. And with grant writing, branding, and even internal training getting the AI treatment, the possibilities are endless. So grab your digital notebook (or your favorite AI assistant) and tune in to find out how to work faster, write better, and fundraise smarter, with a little help from Cassie.

In this episode of The First Day from The Fundraising School, host Bill Stanczykiewicz, Ed.D. is joined once again by fundraising researcher and nonprofit rockstar Ruth Hansen, PhD, Associate Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. Together, they dive into Ruth's latest co-authored paper, “A Literature Review of Experimental Studies in Fundraising,” which combs through 187 academic studies to answer one burning question: what really works in annual fund fundraising? Spoiler alert, it's not just your gut feeling. This episode is a masterclass in evidence-based philanthropy, breaking down complex research into practical nuggets fundraisers can use right now. Ruth and Bill unpack some truly mind-bending findings, like the fact that donors respond more to percentages than numbers. Five out of ten (50%) feels more impactful than eight out of twenty (40%), even though the latter helps more people. Why? Our brains love shortcuts, and percentages are easier to grasp. They also wade into the murky waters of negative imagery; yes, sad puppy photos do boost one-time gifts, but could turn off donors long-term. This leads to a golden takeaway; fundraisers must balance emotional impact with long-term relationship building. A little “warm glow” goes a long way in keeping donors connected and inspired. Speaking of warm glow, Ruth reminds us that smaller donors often give because it feels good, not just out of pure altruism, and that's okay. In fact, appealing to that emotional satisfaction is a powerful way to start building those donor pipelines. The conversation also busts some long-standing myths around special events. Turns out, there's science behind why folks give more when they're surrounded by others: peer pressure, reputation, and that sweet social buzz all play a part. It's not just networking; it's neuroscience. From social proof in direct mail to gender-matched testimonials, Dr. Hansen and her research offer a toolkit of small tweaks that lead to big results. At the heart of it all? Donors want to know they're making a difference; regardless of income, background, or cause. Ruth sums it up perfectly: fundraisers aren't just talking to people with wallets; they're talking to people with values. So if you're looking to make your annual fund stronger, smarter, and more donor-friendly, this episode is your evidence-based jam.

In this episode of The First Day from The Fundraising School, host Bill Stanczykiewicz, Ed.D. welcomes Dr. Kraig Kinchen, Executive Director of 100 Black Men of Indianapolis, for a conversation on how this impactful nonprofit is embracing the power of planned giving. From a career in medicine and corporate America to nonprofit leadership, Dr. Kinchen shares his journey and explains how his organization, rooted in decades of youth mentorship and community empowerment, is now planting seeds for long-term sustainability. With signature programs like summer academies, leadership development, and financial literacy workshops, the 100 has a deep legacy, and now, they're working to ensure their impact extends well into the future through intentional planned giving strategies. Kinchen explains that a recent consultation with a fundraising agency opened the organization's eyes to the untapped potential of legacy gifts. While annual giving is essential, he emphasizes that planned gifts; including bequests, IRA distributions, and insurance policies, offer a unique opportunity to deepen donor commitment and maximize tax-friendly contributions. Armed with data showing that 90% of donors who give $500 or more annually have not made a planned gift, Kinchen and his team recognized a golden opportunity: meet supporters where they are today, while helping them plan for how they can support tomorrow. As Kinchen outlines, one of the biggest hurdles is simply starting the conversation. Many donors assume planned giving is only for the wealthy, or they hesitate to address end-of-life planning. But with support from Endowment Development Services and resources like the Mays Family Institute on Diverse Philanthropy, the 100 is taking an education-first approach, building trust, especially within the Black community where wills and estate plans are less common due to systemic and cultural barriers. Planned giving isn't just about paperwork; it's about storytelling, relationship-building, and showing donors they can leave a legacy. Dr. Kinchen leaves listeners with practical advice: start small, tell your story, and lean on expert partners. Legacy gifts don't have to be seven-figure estate transfers, sometimes they're IRAs, insurance policies, or even a car. The point is to open the door to possibility. As he puts it, the motto of the organization, "What they see is what they'll be," applies to donors as much as to youth. When donors see peers giving in meaningful, lasting ways, they're more likely to follow suit. It's not just fundraising, it's future-proofing.

Overlooking iconic Hibbing Taconite Mining Operation in Minnesota, Mining Minds had the opportunity to speak with two remarkable women whose stories capture the history and heart of mining in the state. First, we're joined by Talia Sandys, Communications and Engagement Director for Mining Minnesota, who has been our guide through the region's rich mining heritage. Then, we dive deep into the incredible 30+ year career of Darleen Gargano, a retired miner who began her journey in 1976 when opportunities for women in the pit were almost unheard of. From her first day pulling cable and driving haul trucks to operating graders in subzero blizzards, Darleen shares candid stories about resilience, camaraderie, and the changing face of the industry. Along the way, we explore Hibbing's fascinating history—including the relocation of an entire town for mining, the legendary Hibbing High School, and life growing up in a tight-knit rural community. With humor, honesty, and a lifetime of lessons, Darleen reflects on what it took to thrive in a male-dominated industry and why she wouldn't trade her experiences for anything.

Welcome back to School Counseling Simplified! As we dive into the back-to-school season, many of us are seeing students who are struggling with separation anxiety and school refusal. In this episode, we're talking about how you can support not only the students experiencing anxiety, but also the teachers in your building and the parents at home. We'll cover a wide range of practical, school-based strategies that you can implement right away. From calming tools and classroom tips to talking points for caregivers, this episode will give you a full toolkit for addressing separation anxiety at the start of the school year. Whether you're working with new kindergarten students, recent transfers, or kids who are just feeling unsure after summer break, these ideas will help you build connections, reduce fear, and create a strong foundation for the year ahead. Tips for Supporting Students School Tours: Offering a separate tour (outside of open house or back-to-school night) can help new or anxious students become familiar with the campus and reduce fear of the unknown. Safe Spaces: Creating a calm-down corner in your counseling office, or encouraging teachers to have one in the classroom, can give students a space to feel grounded. Daily Check-ins: Offer brief check-ins during the first few days or weeks to help students feel supported by a trusted adult. Safety Plans: For students still experiencing significant anxiety after rapport has been built, work together to create a personal safety plan that outlines their support system and calming strategies. Small Groups: Run a separation anxiety small group using CBT-based activities, mindfulness tools, and games to help students feel less alone and more empowered. Tips for Teachers Buddy Systems: Pair students experiencing anxiety with a calm, confident peer to help them feel supported and included. Visual Schedules: Use visual schedules to help students know what to expect throughout the day, reducing anxiety caused by uncertainty. SEL Integration: Incorporate social-emotional learning into daily routines with a consistent morning meeting or circle time. Read-Alouds: Use books like The Invisible String to open up conversations about separation and connection. Classroom Jobs: Assign meaningful classroom roles to help anxious students feel a sense of purpose and belonging. Transitional Objects: Allow students to bring a comforting object from home (such as a stuffed animal, small toy, or photo) during the first few days. Tips for Parents and Caregivers Validation: Encourage caregivers to acknowledge their child's feelings without minimizing them. A simple “I see this is really hard for you” goes a long way. Consistent Routines: Remind parents of the power of predictability. A steady sleep schedule, breakfast routine, and drop-off ritual can ease anxiety. Practice Separations: Suggest that parents do short practice separations before school starts (e.g., playdates or time at a grandparent's house). Quick Goodbyes: Encourage brief, confident goodbyes at drop-off and reassure the child about who will pick them up. Lingering can unintentionally reinforce anxiety.

What starts as a journey of self-discovery after a life-altering decision takes an unexpected turn, leading to a hilarious and surprisingly public health crisis on the very first day of a new job. Sometimes, life’s most challenging moments can also be the most liberating. Hammy calls his story “Hammy's First Day at the Health Department”.

He is a homosexual, and lives in Butte with his partner Clayton—also a homosexual. He's passionate about harm reduction, ending stigma, and walking on his hands. Above all, Hammy believes storytelling can save lives—and he's thrilled to be here tonight to share his story!
