Podcasts about First Day

May 28, 2025 - Season 15, Episode 139 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to talking about the Pittsburgh Steelers signing rookie WR Montana Lemonious-Craig on Tuesday and how that now means the team has 91 players under contract. We also quickly go over the one-year contract that RB Trey Sermon recently signed in addition to the small signing bonuses that two other rookies reportedly received. The Steelers' first day of OTA practices took place on Tuesday so Alex and I go over everything notable from that momentous event. We discuss the four veteran players, OLB T.J. Watt, WR DK Metcalf, CB Darius Slay, and G Isaac Seumalo, that were reportedly absent from the voluntary Tuesday OTA practice. Alex and I go over the overall health of the Steelers at the start of OTAs and how it was great to see several players that dealt with injuries last season all on the practice field participation. QB Mason Rudolph was one of several players that met the media on Tuesday, so we go over what he had to say. We also go over the notable things that several other players said after Tuesday's first OTA practice as well. Former Steelers QB Terry Bradshaw had a lot to say during a Tuesday radio interview, so Alex and I make sure to review what the Hall of Famer said about the Steelers and their perceived pursuit of free agent QB Aaron Rodgers. Bradshaw isn't a huge fan of Rodgers, so we cover that aspect as well as what he said about the Steelers and their handling of former QB Kenny Pickett. Is it possible that the Steelers do indeed have some level of interest in trading for Atlanta Falcons QB Kirk Cousins, and especially if they are unable to sign Rodgers? Alex and I discuss Cousins not being present for the start of Falcons OTAs on Tuesday and why June 1 could be a huge date on the calendar when it comes to Atlanta possibly trading him. Alex and I go over the timeline of the Steelers situation with Rodgers that has now exceeded two months since he had a meeting with the organization in Pittsburgh. We discuss if Rodgers really will ultimately play for just $10 million in 2025 and how he possibly not signing with the Steelers until after mandatory minicamp just stinks overall. We also discuss how many more wins that Rodgers would be worth to the Steelers versus Rudolph being the starter. This 94-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap.

Did you have the worst first day at work ever?

Brian would not confirm or deny if Aaron Rodgers is at the Steelers facility. The people's choice for quarterback is now Will Howard instead of Mason Rudolph! Brian is keeping an eye on the offense line these OTAs. Roman Wilson needs to be the receiver the Steelers drafted him to be.

Hour 2 with Joe Starkey: The people's choice for quarterback is now Will Howard instead of Mason Rudolph! Brian is keeping an eye on the offense line these OTAs. Roman Wilson needs to be the receiver the Steelers drafted him to be. Brian needs to see more from all the Steelers receivers to know if they're better than... Van Jefferson. Intern Dom came at Bob by saying Bob is a moron for thinking Jack Nicklaus is better than Tiger Woods.

The Steelers have wrapped up the first day of OTAs and Aaron Rodgers was nowhere to be found. He hasn't signed with the team, so why expect him to be there? Is it a big deal that Rodgers hasn't signed yet? When will the Steelers finally hold his feet to the fire? Who is to blame over this? TJ Watt was also a no-show at OTAs. Did anyone out there watch Aaron Rodgers on the Joe Rogan podcast? Pirates insider Noah Hiles from the PG joined the show. Noah gave Ben Cherington a 50/50 shot of being back in 2026. If the team has a winning record in their remaining 100+ games, he thinks there is a real chance Cherington comes back. How will the team handle things at the trade deadline? Noah said Mitch Keller would be the biggest name that ‘could' be on the move by late July. Noah's bold prediction is that Spencer Horwitz finishes second on the team in HRs.

In this episode of The First Day from The Fundraising School, host Bill Stanczykiewicz, Ed.D., reconnects with his longtime mentor and fundraising sage, Tim Seiler, Ph.D., Director Emeritus of The Fundraising School. Together, they dive into a topic that's more relevant than ever: how to navigate the stormy seas of fundraising during uncertain times. Dr. Seiler shares war stories from his early fundraising days, reflecting on crises from the 1987 stock market crash to today's mix of economic and social uncertainties. His message? While fundraisers can't control the turbulence, they can control their approach, and it starts with what he calls “rational hope.” Dr. Seiler unpacks this idea of rational hope, steering us away from the siren song of blind optimism. Instead, he champions a clear-headed, proactive mindset: keep reaching out to donors, but with empathy and creativity. Forget about relentless asks, instead, update them on your mission's progress, share ideas, and show them you're still standing tall. He shares his own experiences as a donor receiving thoughtful “just checking in” messages from nonprofits, illustrating how these gestures reinforce connection and purpose. As Seiler says, it's about reminding donors not just of the need, but of the joy and satisfaction that comes from making a difference. The conversation also explores a delicate, often unspoken challenge in the nonprofit world: fundraisers' hesitancy to admit when times are tough. Dr. Seiler and Stanczykiewicz shine a light on this vulnerability, encouraging transparency and authenticity. They argue that sharing struggles, whether it's a budget cut or a missed goal—doesn't signal failure; it signals humanity. This honesty not only builds trust but also invites donors to become part of the solution. As Seiler puts it, “If it were easy, we wouldn't need fundraisers.” Or in the words of A League of Their Own: “The hard is what makes it great.” Wrapping up, the episode channels a rousing spirit of resilience, celebrating the enduring generosity of donors who bounce back time after time, through recessions, crises, and even pandemics. With references to the classic wisdom of Henry Rosso and a dash of literary flair from William Faulkner and Walt Whitman, this episode offers fundraisers a playbook for tough times: stay hopeful but realistic, be persistent, and never forget the shared humanity that fuels philanthropy. Bottom line? Keep swinging for the fences. Fundraising's not for the faint of heart, but it's worth every pitch.

In this episode of The First Day from The Fund Raising School, host Bill Stanczykiewicz, Ed.D., welcomes Dr. George Newman, Associate Professor of Management and Marketing at the University of Toronto, to explore one of the most deceptively simple questions in fundraising: Should we give donors gifts? Backed by years of research and a background in psychology, Dr. Newman offers a compelling and somewhat counterintuitive answer, those tote bags and coffee mugs might actually be hurting more than helping. Drawing from a series of six studies, Dr. Newman and his colleagues found that offering thank-you gifts in advance of a charitable contribution often results in lower donations. Why? Because it shifts the donor's mindset. Rather than giving out of altruism, they begin to interpret their action as transactional. This subtle psychological shift, known as motivation crowding, can reduce both the likelihood and amount of giving. “It raises a question that's not there when people are simply asked to give,” Newman explains. But all gifts are not created equal. Dr. Newman emphasizes that the timing and framing of a gift matters. When gifts are unexpected, given after the donation, they don't seem to trigger the same psychological conflict. And when the gift is tied to the organization's mission, such as a product made by program participants, the donor sees the item not as a perk but as a meaningful expression of the cause. Even simply reframing a thank-you gift as a tool to spread awareness can reverse the negative effect. The episode closes with practical advice for fundraisers navigating the delicate dance of donor appreciation. Dr. Newman encourages organizations to focus on understanding how donors perceive incentives, and to consider what a gift might unintentionally communicate about the nonprofit's values or efficiency. “It's not that all gifts are bad,” he says, “but how, when, and why they're given can make all the difference.” Bottom line: the best gifts support the story, not distract from it.

First day after birth BON

In this episode of The First Day from The Fund Raising School, host Bill Stanczykiewicz, Ed.D., sits down with Virginia Harrison, Ph.D., Assistant Professor at Clemson University, to dig deep into a question many nonprofit professionals fear to ask out loud: Why do donors leave? With a background in public relations and firsthand fundraising experience, Dr. Harrison brings both academic insight and real-world perspective to the increasingly vital topic of donor stewardship. Drawing from her research, Dr. Harrison outlines the seven reasons long-time donors walk away, even after years of involvement. From lack of responsible reporting to weak engagement, poor recognition, legal and policy missteps, organizational instability, and a fading sense of social fit, the message is clear: stewardship is not fluff, it's strategy. “I don't want to just be a checkbook,” one donor told her. They want impact, community, and communication that goes beyond the thank-you letter and holiday fruit basket. Dr. Harrison emphasizes the power of meaningful engagement. It's not about inviting donors to every ribbon-cutting and hoping they post it on LinkedIn, it's about tailoring involvement to their passions and skills. Whether it's mentoring a scholarship recipient or lending financial expertise to a capital campaign, donors want to feel useful, respected, and connected. And for smaller nonprofits feeling under-resourced, Dr. Harrison reassures that personalization doesn't mean perfection, small groups and natural social connections can still build a powerful community of philanthropy. The episode closes with a reminder that stewardship isn't something that happens after the gift, it's what makes the next one possible. In a world where fundraisers are often pushed to “just go get the money,” Dr. Harrison's research reframes stewardship as the fuel, not the fluff, of long-term fundraising success. Or as a colleague succinctly put it: “Stewardship is the fundraising that happens in between the asks.”

Red Solo Cups and Blood Trails: Sgt. Bukhenik's First Day on the Stand in Karen Read Trial Day one of Sgt. Yuri Bukhenik's direct testimony in the Karen Read trial opened with what should have been a methodical review of crime scene procedures. Instead, it became an immediate flashpoint for controversy. Bukhenik, one of the lead investigators in the death of Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe, walked jurors through his arrival at 34 Fairview Road and the early hours of processing the scene—but what stood out most was his admission that red Solo cups were used to collect blood samples from the snow. The prosecution guided Bukhenik through his timeline, highlighting his observations of O'Keefe's body, the snowy terrain, and the surrounding evidence. Bukhenik confirmed seeing blood trails leading toward the rear of Karen Read's Lexus SUV and discussed collecting taillight fragments, emphasizing that these physical markers supported the theory that Read struck O'Keefe with her vehicle while reversing. But the moment he said “Solo cups,” the courtroom shifted. For the prosecution, it was a minor improvisation during an unusual winter scene. For the defense—and perhaps the jury—it raised serious doubts about whether standard procedures were followed in a murder investigation involving a fellow law enforcement officer. This video examines the first half of Bukhenik's direct testimony, the evidence he claims supports the prosecution's case, and the early cracks that began to form in the credibility of the investigation. It's a must-watch if you want to understand the foundation the state is trying to build—and how fragile that foundation might be.

Red Solo Cups and Blood Trails: Sgt. Bukhenik's First Day on the Stand in Karen Read Trial Day one of Sgt. Yuri Bukhenik's direct testimony in the Karen Read trial opened with what should have been a methodical review of crime scene procedures. Instead, it became an immediate flashpoint for controversy. Bukhenik, one of the lead investigators in the death of Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe, walked jurors through his arrival at 34 Fairview Road and the early hours of processing the scene—but what stood out most was his admission that red Solo cups were used to collect blood samples from the snow.

In this episode of The First Day from The Fund Raising School, host Bill Stanczykiewicz, Ed.D., welcomes back Dan Heist, Ph.D. and Gen Shaker, Ph.D., to explore new research on how fundraisers are navigating relationships with donors who give through donor-advised funds (DAFs). With nearly 2 million DAF accounts holding $250 billion and distributing over $50 billion annually, these philanthropic vehicles are now a central feature of the fundraising landscape. The study, presented at AFP ICON, sheds light on the unique opportunities and challenges DAFs present for building meaningful donor relationships. While the data shows that only a small percentage of DAF grants are truly anonymous, fundraisers report consistent struggles with identifying and stewarding DAF donors. Gen and Dan highlight that these issues are often tied to data entry and internal processes rather than actual donor secrecy. When gift entry and CRM systems are not optimized for DAF giving, opportunities to connect with donors, and properly thank them, are lost. This creates barriers not only to stewardship but also to long-term relationship-building. Fundraisers who've adapted their systems and collaborated closely with back-office teams are better positioned to maintain strong connections with DAF donors. The study also emphasizes that DAFs can be powerful indicators of donor intent and capacity. Fundraisers reported that knowing a donor uses a DAF gives them confidence to engage in deeper conversations about giving goals, major gift potential, and long-term philanthropy. Despite common skepticism about DAFs being used as “parking lots,” the researchers point to data showing DAF donors are among the most strategic givers, granting a higher proportion of their assets annually than private foundations. With the right approach, fundraisers can transform these gifts into lasting relationships that fuel mission-driven work. Finally, Gen and Dan identify key roles fundraisers play in working with DAF donors: educator, facilitator, and compliance guide. These roles require fundraisers to be adaptable, strategic, and highly relational. The research team has even updated the traditional major gift cycle to reflect the nuances of DAF fundraising, offering a customized roadmap for cultivating DAF donors. As always, the episode underscores a core truth: no matter the tool or vehicle, fundraising remains deeply rooted in relationships. And with the right systems and strategies, DAFs can become a bridge, not a barrier, to transformational giving.

In this episode of The First Day from The Fund Raising School, host Bill Stanczykiewicz, Ed.D., welcomes back the legendary Kay Sprinkle Grace to tackle a critical topic: staying resilient in fundraising during turbulent times. Kay emphasizes that the nonprofit sector becomes even more essential when the world feels shaky. She reminds fundraisers that their steadiness provides the strength communities crave, and that their role is to radiate hope, not hoard anxiety. Rather than surrendering to fear, she calls on leaders to embody "radical amazement," seeing each day and each impact as a phenomenal gift. Kay highlights a key shift: nonprofits shouldn't just "diversify" during hard times, they need to solidify. By collaborating with like-minded organizations and reinforcing their core missions, nonprofits can weather the storm stronger together. She shares the powerful story of New Orleans' AIDS organizations banding together after Hurricane Katrina, a vivid example of unity and resilience. Fundraisers, she says, must anchor their work not in scarcity, pleading for help because things are bad, but in abundance, celebrating and showcasing the transformative impact they already have. In tough times, abundance is the secret sauce that keeps the spirit, and donations, flowing. Zooming in on individual fundraisers, Kay throws down some real-world advice: don't be a lone wolf marooned at your desk. Seek community, lean on coaching, and don't be shy about asking for help. Self-care isn't a luxury; it's survival. She warns that harboring anger corrodes resilience and stresses that fundraisers must live the very values they champion. And if your organization becomes a hot mess of broken values and endless negativity? Be brave enough to fix it, or walk away with your spirit intact. Wrapping up, Kay and Bill shine a light on the enduring power of nonprofits through decades of crises, from the civil rights movement to economic downturns to global disasters. In the end, resilience is about renewal: the beautiful dance between stability and change, anchored by purpose and sprinkled with radical joy. Nonprofits are here not just to exist, but to solve problems, and by standing together, focusing on mission, and celebrating the good, fundraisers can be the steady, luminous force their communities need most.

A Note from James:Oh my gosh. This guy was thrown in jail for 65 years—and he deserved it. You'll hear about his crimes and misdemeanors. He started as a superstar quarterback, high school and college hero turned meth addict, and eventually became a hardcore RICO gang criminal. Sentenced to essentially life in prison, Damon's story is genuinely one of the most inspirational I've heard. He's got a bunch of books out—his latest, Six Dimes and a Nickel: Life Lessons to Empower Change, just came out and refers to the 65-year sentence he received. You need to read this book, which follows his memoir The Change Agent and The Coffee Bean, teaching a simple yet profound lesson about creating positive change. I could have talked to Damon forever about jail, prison fights, criminal life, meth addiction, and most importantly, the transformation that changed everything. By the way, this conversation will change your life, too—I really took a lot from his insights.Episode Description:Damon West was handed a 65-year prison sentence, effectively life behind bars, after spiraling from a promising college quarterback into meth addiction and becoming the leader of a burglary ring. This episode covers the dramatic highs and devastating lows of his journey, from his arrest and brutal introduction to prison violence to his profound transformation inspired by the "coffee bean" metaphor. James and Damon discuss deeply personal stories about addiction, identity, and redemption, offering listeners unique perspectives on overcoming profound adversity and using pain as a catalyst for extraordinary personal growth.What You'll Learn:How identity can become an addiction, and strategies to rebuild after losing itThe "coffee bean" metaphor and how it can help you transform difficult situations into opportunitiesSpecific ways Damon earned respect and survived brutal prison conditions without joining a gangPractical insights from the 12-step recovery program applicable to anyone facing challenging circumstancesHow forgiveness and accountability can become powerful tools for personal changeTimestamped Chapters:[00:00] Introduction to Damon's Story[01:27] Damon's Early Life and Downfall[02:40] Life of Crime and Addiction[17:02] The Arrest and Trial[29:06] The Verdict: 65 Years in Prison[30:25] A Mother's Ultimatum[31:06] Advice from Muhammad[32:19] Surviving Prison Fights[39:33] The Coffee Bean Story[41:38] First Day in Maximum Security[49:00] Earning Respect on the Rec Yard[51:08] Spiritual Awakening and Self-Improvement[55:38] Understanding the Eighth and Ninth Steps[56:31] Living Amends: A Path to Redemption[58:49] The Impact of Crime and Seeking Forgiveness[1:03:56] The Power of Forgiveness[1:10:29] Lessons from Prison: Servant Leadership and Community[1:15:41] The Journey to Freedom and Beyond[1:18:02] The Coffee Bean Message: From Prison to Global Impact[1:24:54] Final Thoughts and ReflectionsAdditional Resources:Six Dimes and a Nickel: Life Lessons to Empower Change by Damon WestThe Change Agent: How a Former College QB Sentenced to Life Transformed His World by Damon WestThe Coffee Bean: A Simple Lesson to Create Positive Change by Damon West and Jon GordonAlcoholics Anonymous: 12-Step Recovery ProgramSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
