We're pulling back the curtain on the tech, trends, and title industry shifts that are quietly reshaping the real estate transaction from the inside out. In this episode, Steve Nassar and Joe Fistolo welcome Justin Tucker of Fidelity National Financial for a conversation that's part reunion, part reset. It's all about what comes next. We'll unpack how COVID sparked a digital transformation in title and escrow, from Zoom closings to remote online notaries, and why that momentum still faces resistance across county lines and lender requirements. You'll hear why January 2025 saw a 20% spike in closed sales over the prior year, why May fell nearly 15%, and why a recent surge in new escrow orders could point to a long-awaited market rebound or just a short-lived summer pop. Justin shares why consumer protection is now a core part of the customer experience, and how wire fraud threats are forcing title companies to rethink their entire communication strategy. With interest rates settling in the low 6% range, buyers and sellers are getting creative through strategies like co-buying with friends or holding onto golden-handcuff rentals, which is quietly reshaping the market behind the scenes. This episode offers timely perspective, real data, and forward-looking insights for anyone serious about staying ahead in today's unpredictable real estate climate.   Key Takeaways Justin Tucker returns to Fidelity National Financial after years with a competing title company, marking a significant shift in local industry dynamics. COVID acted as the catalyst for tech adoption in title and escrow, normalizing Zoom closings and remote online notarization. Title companies now face the challenge of offering both high-tech and traditional in-person services to meet diverse client preferences. Wire fraud is increasing, making client protection a top priority, even if it adds friction to the customer experience. Real estate professionals should educate clients that title companies will never send wire instructions via email. The title industry has seen a significant drop in refinance volume since COVID, with overall production remaining flat or slightly down in 2025. January and February 2025 showed strong year-over-year closed sales growth, but March and May declined, and June was flat. A recent surge in new escrow openings may signal renewed activity, though it's unclear if this is a short-term summer spike or a longer trend. The “golden handcuffs” of sub-3% mortgage rates are discouraging homeowners from selling, leading to fewer transactions. Cash deals and creative financing strategies like co-buying and renting out low-rate properties are becoming more common. Interest rates in the low 6% range have reignited buyer urgency after three years of market stagnation. Perceptions of future Fed rate cuts and political shifts may influence buyer behavior more than actual policy changes.   Connect with Justin Fidelity National Financial Justin on LinkedIn   Connect with Joe Soldera Properties Joe on LinkedIn   Connect with Steve Steve's Team at Premiere Property Group Steve on LinkedIn   Listen to The Portland Real Estate Podcast on: Apple Podcasts | Spotify  

Future-Proof Your Career: Why Reputation Isn't Enough Anymore with Jennifer McClure Are you successful, but just not visible in the way you want to be?  You've built a strong career and delivered results, but you're not sure people really know who you are or what you stand for. With AI reshaping the workplace and market shifts accelerating, you could be left wondering:  "What if I'm seen as replaceable?" After 20 years in HR leadership, personal branding expert Jennifer McClure has discovered a truth: reputation is earned, but it no longer guarantees visibility or opportunity. Your Career Isn't Safe on Autopilot The old idea of "just do good work and you'll get noticed" doesn't cut anymore. With AI changing the game, being known as "a hard worker" won't get you the recognition you want.  Personal Branding: Your Career Insurance Visibility equals opportunity. The people getting promotions are those who've made it clear what they want to do more of, and what unique value they bring. Your differentiators become career insurance: Decision-making abilities AI can't automate Curiosity and strategic thinking Leadership and people skills Your unique perspective Breaking the Myths Myth: "I don't want to seem self-promotional" Reality: You're already being perceived in some way. Make it more intentional. Myth: "Good work speaks for itself" Reality: Your boss isn't psychic. They need to know what you want more of.

How are you going to rise above that?" —Jennifer McClure "What you want to be is the most employable person. There will always be layoffs, but there were still people getting jobs during 2008 whose names came up when leaders asked 'Who's the best [your role] that you know?'" —Jennifer McClure “Curiosity, problem solving, innovation, leadership and people skills. These are the things that can't be replaced." -Blake “When you have that level of clarity and intentionality about who you are, how you operate, what are the best ways that you create the biggest results, you actually do less." -Blake   Resources Mentioned https://jennifermcclure.net/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifermcclure/   Enter the Giveaway + Win Prizes!

In this episode of Business Coaching Secrets, Karl Bryan and co-host Rode Dog tackle some of the most pressing questions facing business coaches: how to harness AI (like ChatGPT and Grok) to grow your coaching practice, which industries are likely to be safe from AI disruption, and where exactly to find—and close—high-end coaching clients in today's dynamic business landscape. Karl also unpacks the art of closing with confidence, breaks down a powerful Zen-inspired mindset shift, and explains why product quality is the domino that knocks down all other business challenges. Key Topics Covered AI Prompt Engineering for Business Coaches Karl shares how specificity and defining context are vital when prompting AI tools like ChatGPT and Grok. He walks through advanced examples of framing prompts to get world-class business advice personalized to your ideal client and circumstance. Industries Resilient to AI Disruption The conversation covers which industries are least likely to be “decimated” by AI over the next decade. Empathy-driven sectors—like coaching, healthcare, and education—are less vulnerable to automation, along with trades (construction, home services), fine arts, government, and cybersecurity. Where to Find High-End Coaching Clients Karl details actionable strategies to uncover business owners ready to invest in coaching, such as: Targeting businesses actively spending on advertising, new award nominees/winners, and recent chamber of commerce members. Building relationships with the people who sell advertising, chamber memberships, and run award programs—offering referral incentives to tap into fresh, motivated prospects. Approaching businesses for sale, as they often desperately need systematization and profit optimization to become sellable. The Art of Closing Clients (with Scaled Pricing) Karl shares his proven “scaled pricing” hack: rather than cutting your fee, start clients at a low monthly rate and gradually increase once trust and value are established, making it easy for new clients to say yes—while still closing at top-dollar over time. Product vs. Sales vs. Marketing: The Navil Ravikant Framework A key insight: most problems in sales and marketing are really product problems. If your product is “world-class,” word of mouth will eventually outshine all marketing efforts. Karl urges coaches to aim for such client outcomes that competitors end up sending you leads. Zen Wisdom for Coaches: The Myth of a Happy Life Karl closes the episode with a reflection: a happy “life” doesn't exist—only happy moments, created one present instant at a time. Drawing parallels to AA's “one day at a time,” he challenges listeners to focus on moment-to-moment progress for lasting fulfillment. Notable Quotes “Prompt engineering is everything. Get insanely specific—and define your ideal client and circumstances in your AI prompt for killer results.” “Empathy and connection are your moat. AI accelerates, but it cannot replicate genuine human mentorship.” “Don't chase only new revenue—chase profit. Profit is the domino that knocks over all the other dominoes.” “If you can't close at your fee, don't discount—use scaled pricing... get the yes with a low commitment and ramp up.” “People sacrifice what they want most for what they want now. That's a bad trade.” Actionable Takeaways 1. Become a Prompt Engineering Pro: Level up your AI game by defining who is answering your question, who your client is, and exactly what you want—test and refine prompts for actionable advice tailored to your needs. 2. Focus Where Clients Spend to Grow: Target business owners already investing in advertising, awards, or memberships—they've shown intent to grow and are prime for business coaching. 3. Build Referral Pipelines With Influencers: Cultivate relationships with those selling ads, chamber memberships, and awards—often overlooked, they'll gladly refer for a meaningful incentive. 4. Use Scaled Pricing to Close With Confidence: Instead of slashing your coaching fee, start with a low rate for the first month and ramp up; this reduces buyer risk and makes it easy for prospects to commit to a high-value engagement. 5. Double Down on Empathy, Not Just Tactics: Lean into the human side: your ability to connect, understand, and support clients will future-proof your practice in the AI era. 6. Build a Product Worthy of Referrals: If you had to grow exclusively through referrals, how would you reshape your service and delivery? Design a “product” so good, it sells itself. 7. Don't Aim for a Happy Life—Aim for Happy Moments: Prioritize meaningful daily wins and present-moment focus over the impossible chase for constant happiness.

What's up folks, today we have the pleasure of sitting down with Alison Albeck Lindland, CMO at Movable Ink.(00:00) - Intro (01:14) - In This Episode (03:10) - 1.

Building a Customer Strategy Team That Drives Enterprise Growth (49:36) - 11. How To Build Lasting Influence With B2B Buyers (55:49) - 12. Creating Energy and Balance as a CMO Summary: Alison believes marketing careers thrive when you stay close to the people who buy from you, and at Movable Ink she has built that into the culture with a customer strategy team, advisory boards, and events that create real connections customers carry into new roles. She applies the same thinking to AI, starting with shared tools and boundaries, then layering in structured experimentation and custom apps that live inside daily workflows. Alison hires people who tinker on their own time, keeps experimentation alive with weekly check‑ins and show‑and‑shares, and cuts projects that do not deliver, like ending a podcast to focus on high‑impact testimonial and “hero” videos. Through it all, she builds influence by aligning teams on one scorecard, sharing loyalty stories that prove long‑term value, and helping buyers see her platform as part of their personal playbook for success.About AlisonAlison is the Chief Marketing Officer at Movable Ink, leading global marketing, brand, strategy, and communications for the AI-powered personalization platform used by the world's top brands. In her 12+ years at Movable Ink, she's had three distinct phases: rising through customer success, founding the company's now-influential strategy team, and stepping into the CMO role nearly three years ago. That journey (across constant evolution and new challenges) has kept the work “never the same company for more than six months at a time,” and helped shape Movable Ink's role as a leader in enterprise personalization.Customer Relationships Can Future Proof a Marketing CareerAlison argues that the best way to future proof a marketing career is by knowing your customers as actual people rather than abstract data points. Marketers who thrive over time make it their job to understand what customers want, how they think, and why they buy. "You have to know them personally and pretty intimately," she says. "You've got to be constantly advocating for their perspective around the table." That kind of understanding does not happen in a spreadsheet. It happens in conversations, often unplanned ones, that give you unfiltered context about their challenges and priorities.She has turned this belief into a repeatable practice at Movable Ink. Her team builds ongoing contact with customers through multiple channels, including:Quarterly fireside chats with CMOs who share their challenges and ideas.A hybrid customer advisory board that rotates in staff members to observe and participate.Strategic placement of marketers at in-person events where they can form real connections.These interactions do more than collect feedback. They create a loop where customer input shapes campaigns, product positioning, and content. Alison credits these relationships with Movable Ink's staying power. Marketers who use their platform often bring it with them when they change roles or companies, expanding the brand's reach through personal advocacy."We spend a lot of time now trying to bring our team members in close contact with our customers in more than just a servicing capacity," Alison explains. "They need to develop personal relationships that inform the work they are doing, whether it is content marketing, events, or ABM."Alison also leans on product marketing as a partner in capturing deeper customer knowledge. She highlights win-loss interviews as especially valuable. Unlike survey data, these conversations expose what is working and where gaps exist with enough specificity to guide real change. Her team uses these discussions to refine strategy and make decisions with authority. Marketers who adopt this mindset do more than execute tactics. They become trusted voices in shaping what their company brings to market.Key takeaway: Build constant, meaningful contact with your customers. Use advisory boards, interviews, and live events to hear their unfiltered perspectives. Treat these conversations as fuel for your campaigns and strategies. When you consistently advocate for customers with authority, you position yourself as someone whose work will stay relevant no matter how the tools, titles, or industry trends shift.AI Literacy in Marketing: How to Build AI Literacy in Marketing TeamsAI literacy in marketing takes shape when organizations stop treating AI like a playground and start building a framework for real, coordinated adoption. Alison Albeck Lindland pushes for a model where alignment and enablement come before experimentation. “You need to make sure you're all singing from the same songbook,” she says. When teams skip that step, they end up with scattered projects, compliance headaches, and wasted time. A clear, shared framework turns AI from a set of personal experiments into an enterprise capability.This is why the updated Pyramid of AI Literacy begins with organizational alignment and standardized tooling at its base. These steps give teams a shared understanding of the company's AI strategy, ethical guidelines, and compliance boundaries, along with enterprise-grade tools that build institutional knowledge instead of one-off fiefdoms. Alison's point is direct: enterprise AI can only scale when everyone is using the same platforms and working from the same rulebook.“OpenAI is great, but we're using a tool that lets us build institutional muscle and share learnings across teams.”The middle of the pyramid focuses on practical proficiency, experimentation, and model literacy. Teams develop real competency with structured prompts and multi-model workflows. They also learn how large language models work and how AI connects to data, workflows, and machine learning systems. Experience does not come from a training course. It comes from giving teams space to test ideas, share lessons learned, and build the muscle memory to use AI effectively.At the top sits strategic leadership. This is where marketing leaders guide the organization with clear purpose, challenge hype, and embed AI into the company's growth strategy. At Movable Ink, this looks like dedicated business analysts building custom AI apps that plug into daily work, from a brand voice checker to a natural language search bot for surfacing industry-specific content. These tools live inside workflows, making AI part of the operating rhythm instead of a side project.Key takeaway: Use the pyramid as your blueprint for building AI literacy. Start by aligning the organization on strategy, ethics, and enterprise tools. Then train teams to get real value from AI through structured prompts, model literacy, and cross-functional experimentation. Finally, put strong leadership at the top to guide adoption with purpose. That way you can move AI from scattered experiments to a unified, scalable capability that drives ...

The government introduced the Economic Strategy Review (ESR), a comprehensive initiative designed to strengthen Singapore’s economic resilience in the face of mounting geopolitical challenges and rapid technological advancements. To drive this effort, five specialized committees have been established, each focusing on a critical aspect of the economy: enhancing global competitiveness, accelerating technology and innovation adoption, fostering a vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem, empowering the workforce with future-ready skills, and managing the social and economic impacts of industry restructuring. Together, these committees aim to chart a forward-looking blueprint that secures sustainable growth, creates quality opportunities for businesses and workers, and positions Singapore to thrive in an increasingly complex global landscape.

This is the last special solo episode for a while. Thankfully, Robert and Joe will be back next week to make nonsense about marketing and content news. But today's episode is something a little different. In 1937, Napoleon Hill wrote Think and Grow Rich. His ideas about belief, desire, and persistence changed lives—Joe's included. Joe's new book, Burn the Playbook, is his answer to what Think and Grow Rich would look like today. It's not just about financial wealth...it's about freedom. Mental freedom. Physical health. Time freedom. It's the book Joe wanted his kids to have…the book that they could share with their kids about living a life of purpose. This episode of This Old Marketing is about how to build a platform strong enough to carry the weight of your dreams. Six months ago, Joe was 20 pounds heavier. He felt foggy, sluggish, reactive. He was still productive, sure...but didn't feel sharp. He didn't feel like he was operating at his best. And he decided that wasn't okay anymore. Many of you know this, but Joe's family has a history of Alzheimer's as well. He always thought he was relegated to this fate and there was nothing he could do. Joe's since found there are many things he can do to build a better brain (if you will), so that he can live a better life and be around, in all forms, for his kids and their kids, in addition to living a life of freedom (which we'll discuss). So he made some changes. Not radical ones. Just simple, consistent ones. And Joe wants to share them with you—not as a health expert, but as a creator who realized that if your body and brain break down, your business doesn't stand a chance. Let's get into it.   ----- This week's links: Americans Check Phone 144 Times Per Day The Cost of Multitasking ----- This week's sponsor: You don't become the world's most valuable women's sports franchise by accident.

With almost 70% of global advertising dollars now being spent on digital channels, maximizing marketing impact in digital environments is critical – especially with Gen-Z's growing influence. According to Kantar normative data, creative quality is the single biggest driver of growth in brand impact, driving 49% of brand impact across ad campaigns. At the same time, research highlights a persistent gap in marketers' confidence around how to create measurably effective campaigns. And adding to that marketer challenge, creative signaling is changing. In this special edition of Future Proof, Jeff Herrmann Kantar's guest host and Global Client Director, is joined by guests, Crystal Worthem, Global Director of Audience Marketing, Meta and Sapphire Yi-Dyer, Vice President of Customer Ecosystem, CreativeX.

Today we're tackling something that's fundamentally changing the game for every ecommerce business: Privacy-First Marketing. If you're still relying on the old playbook of tracking pixels, third-party cookies, and invasive data collection, you're not just behind the curve—you're setting yourself up for failure. Apple's iOS 14.5 update in 2021 wasn't just a software update—it was a declaration of war against traditional digital marketing. When Apple gave users the power to say "no" to tracking, over 75% of them did exactly that. Facebook's revenue took a $10 billion hit. Small businesses watched their ad costs skyrocket overnight.  This wasn't a hiccup—this was the beginning of the end for surveillance capitalism as we knew it. Here's the thing most entrepreneurs miss: the privacy-first movement isn't just about compliance or avoiding regulatory fines. It's about fundamentally rethinking how we build relationships with customers. It's about moving from extraction to exchange, from surveillance to service. And, it's about the most important concept in modern marketing: the trust economy. In a privacy-first world, trust isn't just nice to have—it's your primary competitive advantage. Let's talk about how to set yourself up for success in this privacy-first business environment.   Episode's Show Notes: https://www.catherinelangman.com/episode-273/   Other Ways To Enjoy This Episode: Listen on Apple Podcasts Listen on Spotify Youtube

In this episode, psychologist, executive coach, and former CEO Martin Dubin joins FUTUREPROOF. to talk about the hidden habits and patterns that quietly derail careers and businesses.Drawing from his new book Blindspotting, Martin reveals the six types of leadership blindspots, why your greatest strength might be your biggest liability, and how to stop projecting old patterns onto new problems.

Future Proof, which holds one of the industry's largest wealth conferences, invited me to hold a live podcast earlier this year with Blue Owl Co-President and Global Head of Real Assets Marc Zahr. Marc is a pioneer in the real estate space, building Blue Owl into a market leader in the triple net lease strategy, a commercial real estate investment strategy that is becoming increasingly popular for real estate investors, tenants (think large corporates like Amazon, Walgreens, Dollar General), and investors alike.Blue Owl's Real Assets business has over $67.1B AUM, owning over 5,600 assets and partnering with over 800 tenants. Marc founded Oak Street, the predecessor firm to Blue Owl, in 2009 with $17M AUM. Listening to Marc talk about the evolution of his career, building Oak Street, and running Blue Owl's Real Assets platform, it's no surprise to see why Marc and the firm have had success. His “myopic focus … perfecting his craft,” as he discussed in our conversation, his clarity of vision, and his ability to so clearly articulate his investment strategy and market opportunity have led to tremendous success for Oak Street, and now, Blue Owl.Marc and I had a fascinating and thought-provoking discussion that covered everything from the evolution of his firm, how and why he sold Oak Street to Blue Owl, the market opportunity in triple net lease real estate investing, why data center investing is a large market opportunity, how to build a high-performing investment culture, and much more.We discussed:The story of how Marc built Oak Street from a $17M real estate investment firm and grew it into Blue Owl's $67B AUM Real Assets platform.Breaking down the triple net lease real estate investment strategy.Why the industry “isn't even in the first inning” in the $20T addressable market in triple net lease real estate investing.Why data centers are a “once in a generation opportunity” due to capex supply / demand imbalance.How a bigger platform can help an asset manager scale its business.Why an evergreen structure can make sense and the story of how Blue Owl did so well with its triple net lease product on a private wealth platform that the private bank created their own product.The hardest part of educating the wealth channel on real estate and evergreen structures.Why private wealth is the biggest opportunity in the future. The advice Marc would give to someone trying to build the next great asset manager.Thanks Marc for sharing your wisdom, expertise, and thoughtful and nuanced perspectives on private markets and real estate.

In this episode of The Entrepreneurial You, host Heneka Watkis-Porter sits down with Lee Stewart, a globally recognised sustainability strategist, educator, and author of How to Build Sustainability into Your Business Strategy. Lee shares how sustainability has evolved from a buzzword into a core business imperative—one that directly impacts profitability, brand value, and long-term growth. Drawing from two decades of hands-on experience, Lee offers actionable insights on embedding sustainability into company culture and strategy. Demystifying Sustainability and Driving Real Impact Heneka and Lee unpack the misconceptions surrounding sustainability—like the idea that a single policy or small team is enough. Lee challenges this notion by stressing that sustainability must be woven into the fabric of an organisation, not treated as a side initiative. He defines sustainability simply: leaving the world better than you found it. Businesses, he says, must stop harmful practices, reduce waste, and create more resilient, value-driven operations. Empowering Change Through Strategy and Community Heneka highlights ongoing leadership events focused on values-driven entrepreneurship, and encourages listeners to embrace sustainability not just as a goal—but as a way of thinking. As the episode closes, Lee invites business owners to subscribe to his newsletter and enter a giveaway for a signed copy of his book. He reminds us that sustainability isn't a destination, but a journey that strengthens business, people, and the planet.

You've felt it, haven't you? That creeping realization that the therapy world you trained for is disappearing faster than you can adapt.Maybe you've watched TikTok "healers" with zero qualifications book out $2000 programs while you're drowning in twelve-month waitlists and Medicare paperwork.Maybe you've seen colleagues burn out, leave the profession, or settle for jobs that barely pay the bills—despite having skills that could transform lives at scale.What if I told you that staying in your lane isn't protecting your career—it's limiting it?While we follow every rule and stay perfectly compliant, the world around us is shifting at lightning speed. But here's what I know: you don't have to watch from the sidelines while everything changes around you.In this episode, I reveal:Why your clinical training is actually your innovation advantage (not a business liability)The identity shift from "just a therapist" to therapeutic innovator that unlocks new possibilitiesHow one OT went from maternity leave panic to earning more than her clinic job in 6 monthsThe 20% rule that creates revenue resilience without abandoning your clinical workReal math: how a simple 4-week group program can generate $8K annually in additional incomeThe ethical visibility framework that gets you found without getting you in trouble with registration boardsThe three-sentence future bio exercise that clarifies your next-level positioningMicro-actions you can implement this week (not someday when you have more time)Bottom Line: The difference between therapists who thrive in the next decade and those who get left behind isn't clinical skills—we've all got those. It's the willingness to evolve your identity, diversify your revenue, and show up visibly in service of the people who need your help.

Episode SummaryIn this episode of OnBase, host Chris Moody sits down with Mark Boothe to explore how AI agents are reshaping the future of marketing. Mark brings candid insights from his tenure at Domo, diving into the transformative potential of agentic workflows, the necessity of AI readiness, and how marketers can navigate both disruption and opportunity.Mark shares practical advice on leveraging agents as "tireless teammates" for joyless, repetitive tasks, enhancing competitive intelligence, scaling content creation, and making smarter, faster decisions across go-to-market functions. He also reflects on challenges CMOs face today—from attribution complexity to shifting SEO dynamics—and explains why waiting to adopt AI is the riskiest move of all.This conversation is a must-listen for B2B marketers, CMOs, and business leaders looking to scale with purpose and intelligence in the age of autonomous agents.Key TakeawaysAI Agents Are Here—and You're Already Late  Mark emphasizes that CMOs can no longer afford to delay AI adoption. Organizations that do not actively experiment with agents risk falling irreparably behind in terms of go-to-market maturity and innovation.Tireless Teammates, Not Job Takers  AI agents are best positioned to automate the joyless, manual tasks humans hate. With proper training and data, they can deliver superhuman memory, adaptability, and task execution across industries.Data Readiness Is Make or Break  The phrase "garbage in, garbage out" rings true—Mark stresses that AI without structured, contextualized, and governed data is not just ineffective, but dangerous.Align AI with Enterprise Goals  AI efforts must be anchored in clear business priorities, not shiny objects. Mark warns against focusing solely on vanity metrics and stresses the importance of tying every initiative back to pipeline, revenue, and customer value.Don't Just Automate—Adapt  Traditional automation is static. AI agents enable adaptability—responding to market shifts, customer signals, and business changes in real-time with minimal human input.Quotes“AI agents should make you way smarter, faster, and more adaptable—if you're aligned with the right goals.”Resource recommendations⁠Jasper⁠ – For scalable content generation.⁠Domo⁠ – For real-time marketing analytics and agent orchestration.Resource recommendationsBooks:⁠How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie⁠ – Timeless lessons in people-first leadership.⁠Dare to Lead by Brené Brown⁠ – Currently being read by Mark's team book club for fostering courageous leadership.⁠Patrick Lencioni's books⁠ – Especially on team dynamics and healthy conflict.B2B Leaders to follow⁠Denise Persson⁠, CMO of Snowflake, for leading high-impact B2B marketing.About the GuestMark brings over 15 years of diverse marketing experience and is passionate about driving Domo's business growth through marketing initiatives.

In a time when short-term fundraising feels relentless, planned giving offers something rare: stability.Planned giving often seems like a strategy reserved for large institutions or a distant concern for smaller nonprofits. However, Tony Martignetti, the Planned Giving evangelist, and host of Tony Martignetti Nonprofit Radio podcast, argues that it's a crucial tool for organizations of all sizes seeking long-term financial resilience.With nearly three decades of experience and having assisted clients in raising more than $150 million through planned gifts , Tony brings a wealth of knowledge to demystify planned giving. He emphasizes that initiating a planned giving program doesn't require a massive budget or a team of experts. Instead, it's about building genuine relationships, understanding donor motivations and correctly focusing your program.In this episode, Tony shares practical steps for small and mid-sized nonprofits to embark on planned giving, discusses common misconceptions, and highlights how such programs can provide financial sustainability amidst economic challenges.Topics We Cover:The relevance of planned giving in today's nonprofit landscapeDebunking myths: Making planned giving accessible for all organizationsEffective communication strategies for discussing legacy giftsIdentifying and engaging potential planned giving donorsSteps to initiate or rejuvenate a planned giving programThe role of planned giving in ensuring long-term organizational sustainability

We recently got an email in from a listener to the show about a topic they thought we should cover, and we'd encourage you to get in touch too if there is something you'd like to learn more about – science@newstalk.com. The email was from Dr John Regan, the Royal Society - SFI University Research Fellow in the Department of Theoretical Physics at Maynooth University.He said: “One of the postdocs in my group recently published a paper on Primordial Black Holes left over from the Big Bang being possible ‘seeds' for super massive black holes. The JWST (James Webb Space Telescope) has, over the last two-three years, been discovering way more and way more massive black holes than was expected.In short, the results from the very early Universe being returned from JWST are both puzzling and electrifying. Primordial black holes may explain some of these results (as well as possibly being a candidate for dark matter)! I think this would be a very cool topic for Futureproof. I would be delighted to discuss these results and perhaps also provide some context to what JWST is seeing and why it is so exciting.”Dr John joins us on the show.
