She is the President of Retail Distribution at RT Specialty, and she will be honored this year at the Spencer Funding their Future Gala at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City on September 17th. [3:17] We'll learn about Marya's career, her risk management philosophy, how her physical wellness fuels her progress as a risk and insurance professional, and why she feels it is critical to continue her support for women in the profession. We're going to have fun. Let's get to it! [3:39] Interview! Marya Propis, Welcome Back to RIMScast! [3:49] Since the last time Justin and Marya spoke, Marya has joined RT Specialty. She is coming up on her 6th anniversary with RT Specialty. It has been the most enjoyable and successful career chapter she has been fortunate to enjoy. [4:04] Marya says there are so many great things to talk about in terms of what's going on in the marketplace and at RT Specialty and how that pertains to Spencer. [4:20] Marya is President of Retail Distribution. She was promoted to that role several months ago. A dedicated group under her leadership is keeping a finger on the pulse of what's going on in the ultra-dynamic U.S. retail landscape. [4:47] They are always thinking of ways to be more client-centric, partner more fully with their retail clients, and think of all the places that their clients need RT to be as the top wholesale partner in the U.S. [5:08] Marya has six people on her team for a wholesaler that placed $32 billion of premium last year. But, actually, her team is the entirety of all the brokers and underwriters that work for RT Specialty. That's 1,500 people. [5:28] Marya's job is to make the brokers and underwriters who work for the team more successful every day. Her stakeholders are the market-facing, talented brokers and underwriters. They are her team. [5:46] Marya sets best practices and standards around compensation, conferences, and the way they engage. Client-centricity is very important, so Marya extends direction for it. [6:00] Marya explains how leadership style has evolved. In the first half of her career, it was all about command and control, from the top down. Telling everyone what to do has evolved positively. [6:19] Marya prides herself on having very good influence and leadership skills. She says people want to follow her direction. She had to learn a lot to go from telling people what to do to creating a path people want to follow. Being a command-and-control leader doesn't feel good. [7:00] Marya says that when we started talking about emotional intelligence as an important part of leadership, she realized she had it. She just hadn't been using it in any of her management or leadership roles. [7:11] It became more acceptable to use emotional intelligence to get your team aligned and get people thinking around the direction you need to go as a team or a firm. That's been very positive for Marya, but she couldn't flip that switch overnight. [7:30] Marya had to learn a lot to change her leadership style so people want to follow and feel that she is creating the right direction, so they can be more successful, not leading them down a path to doom and demise. [7:52] Marya says that an emphasis on emotional intelligence came hand in hand with the industry starting to pay attention to women in insurance and the lack of representation of female leadership in insurance. [8:09] Marya says that a decade ago the insurance industry started to be deliberate about realizing they didn't have many women in leadership and that there were obstacles in the industry to women being promoted and compensated at the same rate as their male colleagues. [8:31] Emotional intelligence came along with the recognition that women have a distinct and unique skill set. Emotional intelligence is a prevalent part of a woman's skill set. Women bring real value as leaders. The traits that come with that include emotional intelligence. [9:07] Justin says we have such a great group of rising risk professionals, particularly females, in the profession and the RIMScast listenership, so this is a great way to kick off this dialog.  [9:25] Marya says she has worked for a lot of great leaders. She was fortunate to work closely with many executives. You can watch a leader and learn a technique or a trait that you can add to the skill set you already have. Marya says she gets her best material from others. [10:14] Marya says Pat Ryan, who founded RT Specialty, is the absolute Superman of insurance. Any time she hears Pat Ryan talk, she leaves with a gem that she commits to do or think about, going forward. He uses an expression: "Do the right thing, because it's the right thing to do." [10:47] If you use that as a guiding principle for how you set your priorities and make decisions, based on what your retail clients need, then it's very obvious what you need to do. It has become a guiding principle for her in the way she makes decisions every day. [11:47] Marya says her scope of responsibility is just retail clients. Her colleague Leah Ohodnicki oversees carrier management. They talk all the time. There are so many of the same principles that they apply, just to different channels in the marketplace. [12:07] Marya has been a career salesperson. For her whole insurance career, she has sold stuff. She has sold capabilities and products. She sells and represents wholesale brokerage services. [12:27] Marya says no client is like another. You must see every client with fresh, objective eyes. Every client has something unique, or a competitive advantage, or something special about the way they've built their firm. Sometimes you have to look carefully to find it, but it's always there. [13:06] You have to be willing to put yourself in their shoes. How do they see the world? How is that retailer creating visibility and driving success? [13:26] Marya prides herself on being a student of who the retail client is and thinking about how to better frame partnership strategies to work with them as effectively as possible, rather than thinking about herself, RT Specialty, and all the stuff she can throw at any retail client. [13:48] In Marya's mind, the way to do it is to start by asking what they need. Where is the place that they will need RT Specialty to be more successful? Then she constructs an engagement approach around that. That's different from how she thought about it 20 years ago. [14:15] In any industry, Marya doesn't want to be a vendor. She wants to be a partner. There's a big difference in the way you have to think to be a trusted business partner. That's a very important part of Marya's personal and professional philosophy in creating partnerships. [15:13] Marya says she's very committed to the digital distribution model. It's been one of the more exciting and dynamic components of the retail channel. Marya doesn't use AI interchangeably with digital distribution. Digital distribution is where we sell things online. [15:41] Marya says AI is a technology enabler that helps us be more efficient in sales. RT Specialty has an online portal called RT Connector that has been trading E&S Specialty, Micro and Small Commercial P&C products for eight years on the digital distribution platform. [16:09] Marya says there's a newish type of retail agent in the U.S. marketplace called digital agencies. They want to trade as efficiently as possible. They want API connectivity. They're focused on a specific segment and industry, in terms of where they feel they can sell and trade. [16:31] Marya says even the way they acquire leads is very different than a traditional retail model. Marya says we're certainly not going to sell RT the same way to a digital agency as we do to a big Alpha house. They're very different. [16:51] Understand the model. Understand how that retail agent or broker is structured, and meet them where they are. With digital retail agents, it's a completely different type of retail partnership that they can build with them vs. other models they've worked successfully with. [17:18] Marya says our retail clients are always evolving and changing and buying lots of stuff, in mergers and acquisitions. They restructure. How they choose to go to market. How they're winning business. Marya loves all the learning that comes as the market and her clients evolve. [17:45] Marya says they're a wholesaler. Their digital platform will reflect the appetite and eligibility of the technology-enabled carriers that are represented on the RT Specialty platform as trading partners. [18:10] Marya says they have 130 talented binding authority teams across their U.S. platform. They know what their appetite is; they have the binding authority. That's human interaction. [18:28] Marya says RT Specialty mimics that same process with some of the same carrier partners by putting their product-specific appetite on their digital platform. [18:38] The same agent can either go to the RT binding authority underwriter or go through RT Connector. If it fits the appetite of the products on RT Connector, in five minutes, the agent can rate quote, bind, issue, e-deliver policies, surplus lines taxes, and finance premium. [19:02] Marya says she can ask agents how they want to trade the E&S specialty marketplace. There are a lot of paths they can follow that get them to the same place where they win. RT Specialty can put the right resources around that. [19:35] Marya says if a retail client brings a franchise opportunity to RT Specialty, if it's a franchise operation that's insured, RT Specialty will write it. They write lots of them in the U.S. Marya participates in risks her retail clients bring to RT. [19:52] Marya doesn't sell directly to franchises, but RT has a lot of franchises and programs in chains in their book of business. RT has the largest sports and entertainment practice in the wholesale segment in the U.S. It's a tough segment of the marketplace. [20:20] RT Specialty has invested a lot in terms of talent. RT Specialty owns the largest MGU in the marketplace. The sports are professional, amateur, and everything in between. It's a very successful market segment for RT Specialty. [20:41] Marya explains that an MGU is a Managing General Underwriter, which is different from an MGA (a Managing General Agency), which is different from a Program. Marya says this has been one of the fastest-growing segments of the specialty market in the United States. [21:09] Marya says you create a homogeneous appetite for a certain bulk of business, find a carrier partner, set up a Program, and open your storefront and either distribute through retailers or wholesalers. Some are direct-to-insureds [21:30] Managing General Underwriter means that we would create the appetite and the guidelines. Managing General Agent means that the carrier has already defined that, and they're allowing us to put a storefront in front of that. [21:54] That's different from some of the traditional carriers that RT Specialty works with, like Lexington Insurance Company or Westchester Insurance Company. Those are carriers. That is a different solution than when RT Specialty approaches an MGU on behalf of their retail client. [22:18] Marya says anytime you have a lot of people in one place at an event, there are lots of risks associated with that: gun violence, political violence, and means of evacuation response. We have seen that time and again. [22:43] When you have a lot of people congregating for a sporting event, a demonstration, a commemoration, or other event, it's gotten much riskier when you put a lot of humans in one place. That has made that segment of the marketplace much more challenging than ever. [23:10] Marya mentions boxing matches in Vegas or the number of active shooter incidents in Vegas. Marya believes the Excess and Surplus Lines market segment is the permanent home for high-hazard risks in the U.S. It's not an escape valve. [23:42] Marya says that in her lifetime, those types of risks will never swing back to the direct admitted standard carrier side. As a wholesale broker, RT Specialty is looking to partner with carriers that have the right type of appetite to support those risks. [23:59] RT Specialty builds products, so they own MGUs, MGAs, and Programs. They invest and build products when segments of the marketplace become very tough, so they have solutions available through their brokers and underwriters to write any risk in any class of business.

[26:32] Justin asks about Marya incorporating workouts into her life so she can perform better as a risk and insurance professional. Justin also feels that he has missed out if he has not exercised or worked out for a certain time each week. [27:03] Mary has 35 years in the business. She travels every week. She flies a lot. She is very focused on her wellness routine. She has been an athlete her whole life, so working out is important to her. So is self-care. [27:34] Having gone through menopause and figuring out what was going sideways, physically and mentally, Marya feels good about where she is today, in her commitment to herself, supplements she takes, and understanding healthy brain function and the effects of hormones. [28:09] Marya says we know hormones have a significant impact on our ability to function, both for men and women. Marya says her lifestyle is not perfect. She eats at restaurants 80% of the time, and entertaining clients involves alcohol. [28:40] Marya loves the relationship-building, social, and personal connection side of the business. She's not going to skip drinks or dinner with anyone. But it's a place where there can be a lot of pitfalls. She doesn't subscribe to an austerity lifestyle. But she has to pick her spots, now. [29:10] Marya says she can't be dragging on Thursday morning. She still has two big days ahead of her to deliver. Marya talks about sleep quality, not just how much you get, which gets tough when you're sleeping in different hotel rooms. [29:35] Marya says, This is the way it is with the career I have chosen, and I love. She has to be much more deliberate and mindful and remind herself that in June, she is traveling 18 days. On the days she's not traveling, she knows what to do for working out and for her wellness routine. [30:24] Marya says she is open and willing to learn. She is open to trying and learning new things. She believes in supplements and vitamins. She takes different ones now than she would have taken a decade ago. You have to be a student of that, like everything else in life. [30:43] Marya says The second you start to lose the desire to learn, what's next? It's not really fun when people's mindsets change. [30:54] Marya has been a Yoga practitioner for 30 years. She does Power Vinyasa in an infrared studio. Marya says the benefits of infrared are scientifically not debatable. She says infrared is great for joints, skin, and healthy brain functioning. It amped up her Yoga routine. [31:15] Marya does TRX bodyweight exercises. Most of the hotel gyms today have a TRX setup. She loves that, since she spends a lot of time in hotels and hotel gyms. Marya does circuit training. She works with heavy weights three times a week to maintain skeletal strength. [31:53] Marya says it sounds like a lot. As an athlete, when you have to perform and deliver, it's part of the way you have to think. It's how Marya thinks. She has to show up and be her best self when she's representing RT Specialty in the marketplace. [32:14] Marya has a lot of people relying on her to be crisp and present with a great level of energy. You can't do that if you're dragging all the time. [32:40] Marya grew up in Buffalo, New York, so she's a skier. It was the first sport for her family. She played tennis in high school and college. She ran track as a sprinter. Her favorite sport is Yoga. A couple of genres of Yoga have world competitions. Mary likes vigorous, athletic Yoga. [33:34] Another Quick Break! The Spencer Educational Foundation's Risk Manager on Campus application period is now open, and it will close on June 30th. Grant awardees, colleges, and universities are typically notified in September. [34:05] General Grant applications are open, and the application deadline is July 30th. Internship Grant applications open on August 15th and close on October 15th. [34:16] Links to each of these grants are in this episode's show notes. Visit SpencerEd.org for more information. [34:24] Let's Conclude Our Interview with One of the Two Honorees of the Spencer Educational Foundation's Funding Their Future Gala 2026, Marya Propis! [34:48] Justin asks about associations Marya is plugged into that support empowering women in the risk and insurance industry, such as APIW and WISE. [35:01] Marya represents RT Specialty on two boards. One is CIAB (The Council of Insurance Agents and Brokers), an international organization known for its regulatory and lobbying efforts. [35:25] Marya spent a week in London last month with CIAB. There is so much going on in the London marketplace. That has been a lot of fun and a place to continue to learn. [34:47] The second board is WSIA (Wholesale & Specialty Insurance Association), representing the wholesale specialty segment. There are specialty markets around the world, but the E&S lines market segment only exists in the United States. WSIA is a wonderful organization. [36:14] Marya says that what's great about both CIAB and WSIA is what they do to support young and developing insurance and risk management professionals. It's consistent with and complementary to the work, scope, and mission of the Spencer Educational Foundation. [36:32] Marya loves the way all of that comes together. Marya has been in the space developing, recruiting, and supporting emerging leaders and talent in the insurance and risk management marketplace for a long time. It's a space she loves to be in. [35:56] It all comes together nicely with Marya's board service and her commitments to foundations and causes. [37:10] Justin says the Spencer Funding Their Future Gala will be on Thursday, September 17th, at the world-famous Waldorf Astoria. Marya is one of the two honorees this year. Justin asks what this honor means to Marya. [37:35] Marya can't remember a time when she looked forward to something so much. First, she was surprised, and she feels really humbled. Marya had been a Spencer Board member and Chair of the Board, thinking about whom they would honor, every year for a decade. [38:05] It's really humbling to be considered, let alone this year, going back to the Waldorf Astoria. Marya remembers the Spencer Gala there, at which she spoke as Chair of the Fundraising Committee. [38:22] Marya just about passed out before going on stage, as she had never talked before so many people. She was hyperventilating. She didn't fall off the stage. She enjoyed herself a little bit. The Waldorf Astoria is one of the most storied hotels in the history of New York City. [39:06] Marya says Sierra Signorelli is the other honoree for the Gala. Sierra and Marya worked together early in their careers at AIG. They got a significant start to their careers then. They've known each other for a long time. Marya praises Sierra and is so happy to be doing this with her. [39:32] Justin notes that Sierra is the Zurich U.S. CEO and the Zurich Commercial Insurance CEO. Those are not easy titles to achieve. Zurich is a global insurance carrier. Marya admires Sierra's career trajectory and the leadership influence she has had on so many. [39:51] This is the first time there have been two female honorees in the history of the Spencer Gala. Marya says sharing that honor with Sierra, someone she knows, trusts, and respects so highly, makes it even more special and a night to look forward to. She can't wait! [40:17] Marya is now a Director of Distinction on the Spencer Board. Her RT Specialty colleague, Michael VanAcker, is on the Spencer Board today. Marya mentions that Pat Ryan was honored by Spencer at one of the first Galas. Tim Turner, RT Specialty CEO, introduced Pat that year. [40:53] RT Specialty has had a seat on the Spencer Board for years. Marya is a Director of Distinction as she is a former Board Chair. They ask her to be an advocate where Megan Miller needs her, and to be conversant on where Spencer continues to support and drive results. [41:18] Marya stays in touch and makes sure she knows what is going on with the programs and schools they are partnering with. Her role is to be informed, be an ambassador, and jump in at any place that Megan and the Spencer team would need her to influence, help, and support. [41:41] Marya spoke at the E&S Insurer conference. At the end of the conference, she brought Megan Miller in and introduced her to the writers' folks and asked if they could get a five-minute spotlight on Spencer next year. That is an example of where Marya can try to help. [42:15] Marya says Spencer scholars are so excited about their insurance career. There is nothing more infectious than their enthusiasm for the career path they have chosen. To talk to a young person who has their whole life in front of them is super energizing for Marya. [42:57] Marya says that when a young person wants to talk to her and spend time with her, she thinks it is great. Enthusiasm is infectious. [43:05] At the end of the day, Marya wants to leave the insurance industry in a much better place than it was when she came into the business. Spending time with young people who will be the leaders of our industry in the future, there's no better feeling. [43:30] Marya says that anything she can do to have influence, set an example, or help them think through something helps her to continue to feel wildly enthusiastic about her career. She loves when she gets to spend time with the young brokers and underwriters at RT Specialty. [43:52] Justin says that the scholarship recipients he has seen on stage at the Gala have been so impressive. They're in school, and they're so involved. They're a shining example of what we want the future of this profession to be. [44:10] Marya says that there was no way, when she was 22 years old, that she could have gotten up in front of a room of 800 people in her profession and spoken like that. She would never have been able to do that. Their ability to get up in front of that audience and talk is huge! [44:37] Marya is impressed by what they talk about, in terms of their careers, and what they've learned. [44:42] Marya is delighted that Spencer has basically kept the Gala format consistent. The focus is on the students and the benefits that Spencer funding drives for the industry. [44:56] It's a place where you can see real impact on real lives because of the fundraising dollars that the risk management and insurance industry has stepped up and invested. That's the focus. Then they have dinner. There are two honorees, and they wrap it up. [45:12] Marya loves that they have never complicated the program for Gala. It has kept the focus in the right place, which is what they are doing to fund the future leaders of the insurance and risk management industry. She's excited to meet the Spencer scholars who will speak at the Gala. [45:35] Marya says that lots of times the speakers bring their families. She says her Mom and Dad will be there. That will round out what's going to be a terrific and exciting evening. [45:47] Jason says, We look forward to seeing you there on September 17th at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City. Marya will be there with her old friend Sierra Signorelli. It's going to be a fantastic, tremendous time! The link to the Funding Their Future Gala is in this episode's notes. [46:08] Marya, we're very happy for you. Congratulations again! I can't wait to see you again in September.

Carolyn Woodard explores the technology behind nonprofit fundraising events with Justin Goodhew, CEO and co-founder of Trellis. Galas and in-person events have come roaring back since COVID, and they have changed — guests expect and enjoy more experiential, mission-centered evenings. But the pressure on staff has not let up. As AI begins to reshape data entry and reconciliation, the nonprofits that thrive will be the ones who have already built the right technology foundations under their events.Justin brings years of experience helping nonprofits run galas that integrate cleanly into their existing systems — and he has seen firsthand what separates a smooth, energizing event from one that leaves staff burnt out. The conversation covers how to think about technology adoption the right way, how to make smarter asks on the big night, and how to use post-event data to deepen donor relationships before the window closes.Justin and Carolyn discuss:Why events have become more experiential since COVID, and how nonprofits can use that shift to bring donors closer to their mission.The three Ps of event technology adoption: procedure, people, and product — and why most organizations get the order wrong.How seamless integration between your event platform and your CRM or ERP protects staff from burnout and keeps donor data actionable.How the right data quickly allows you to identify your highest-value attendees and make the right asks at the right moment. And how data helps you plan the right type and right-sized event for your highest value donors. Why moving reconciliation and data planning to the front end of your event planning cycle - the three months in advance of your date - changes everything about the days that immediately follow your gala.Resources Mentioned:Trellis — https://www.trellis.org _______________________________Start a conversation :)Register to attend a webinar in real time, and find all past transcripts at https://communityit.com/webinars/email Carolyn at cwoodard@communityit.comon LinkedIn on reddit/r/nonprofitITmanagementon the Community IT websiteThanks for listening.

Send us Fan MailAre fundraising galas truly worth the investment, or are they being misunderstood?In this episode of The Difference, a podcast from Convergent, Host Jay Werth sits down with Justin Goodhew, CEO and Co-founder of Trellis, to unpack how nonprofits can rethink events as more than one-night fundraisers. With experience helping over 500 organizations raise more than $100 million, Justin brings a data-driven perspective to one of the sector's most debated strategies.The conversation challenges a common assumption: that events should be judged by immediate net profit. Instead, Justin reframes them as “moments of belonging”, powerful opportunities to build long-term donor relationships and unlock future revenue.Together, they explore:Why traditional ROI metrics fail to capture the full value of eventsWhere “hidden revenue” lives beyond the night of the galaHow events create uniquely human connections in an increasingly algorithm-driven worldThe most overlooked data points nonprofits should be tracking and how to capture them without sophisticated toolsPractical tactics like “Donate Your Bid” and multiple giving drivers to increase engagement without creating donor fatigueHow to reduce friction in the giving experience and avoid leaving money on the tableThe episode also dives into post-event strategy, including the critical follow-up window and how to turn one-time attendees into lifelong advocates.Plus, a rapid-fire lightning round covering:Galas vs. golf tournaments for long-term ROIThe biggest “revenue leak” at nonprofit eventsThe one data point every fundraiser should sync to their CRMAnd what the future of fundraising really looks likeJustin makes a compelling case that the organizations best positioned for long-term resilience are those that create meaningful opportunities for people to gather, connect, and belong.To learn more and access additional resources, visit convergentnonprofit.com.Thanks for listening to The Difference... and for making a difference in your corner of the world.

Kaum ist die eine Saison für Sachsens Wintersportler vorbei, hat nahezu nahtlos die nächste begonnen. Julia Taubitz zum Beispiel, zweifache Rodel-Olympiasiegerin aus Annaberg-Buchholz, hat den sächsischen Ministerpräsidenten Michael Kretschmer (CDU) in diesen Tagen öfter gesehen als ihren Trainer. Denn ein Empfang jagt den nächsten, dazu Sponsorenbesuche, Gesprächsrunden, Ehrungen und Galas. Und außerdem: das große Saisonfinale im „Dreierbob“, dem Wintersport-Podcast von Sächsische.de und RedaktionsNetzwerk Deutschland (RND). Als die Olympioniken des Freistaats jetzt in der Staatskanzlei für ihre Erfolge vor knapp vier Wochen bei den Winterspielen in Cortina geehrt wurden, war das verbunden mit einer auch finanziellen Würdigung. Der Freistaat hat der Olympia-Prämie deutlich angehoben - von 4000 Euro für Goldmedaillengewinner auf 20.000 Euro. Und für Silber und Bronze gibt es ab sofort 15.000 und 10.000 Euro. „Eigentlich müsste man im Boden versinken vor Scham“, sagt Kretschmer am Podcast-Mikrofon und meint die bisherige Regelung. Schließlich sei eine Olympiamedaille ein sehr besonderes Ergebnis jahrelangen Schindens und Leistungbringens. Zwei fast schon perfekte Beispiele, wie das sächsisch geht, sind Francesco Friedrich und eben Taubitz. Und während die Rodel-Königin von Cortina längst schon entschieden hat, die Karriere noch ein paar Jahre fortzusetzen und im Podcast deshalb über ihre Urlaubsplanung spricht, überlegt der Bob-Dominator noch. Im „Dreierbob“ nennt er die Hintergründe für seine Bedenkzeit. Macht er weiter? Die Podcast-Hosts Tino Meyer und Fabian Deicke analysieren die Lage - und fragen nach. Bei Francesco Friedrich selbst und dessen Heimtrainer sowie stellvertretenden Bob-Bundestrainer Gerd Leopold. Und dann erzählt diese „Dreierbob“-Folge noch die Geschichte von Jörn Wenzel, der als Anschieber von Johannes Lochner zu Olympiagold fuhr und jetzt selbst Bob-Pilot wird. Der Altenberger lässt quasi dafür sogar seinen Urlaub sausen - und genießt die Empfänge, Ehrungen und Galas in diesen Tagen umso mehr.

There is no better person to talk about this topic than today's guest, Lisa Juliano, Senior Vice President of the Naples Winter Wine Festival & Event Production. This episode, the first in a three-part series behind the Naples Winter Wine Festival, one of the top fundraising galas in the United States each year. Over three days, Lisa and her organization produce a spectacular, white-glove experience for several hundred guests, resulting in over $35 million raised for the Naples Children Foundation to provide a range of services for children in Collier County. Lisa shares smart (and fun) stories, knowledge, and wisdom on a range of topics, including tips on establishing a strong relationship with your event venue, successfully executing multiple events that occur simultaneously, managing talent, accommodating unexpected guest/donor requests, and so much more. This is one episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to elevate their event production game from the event leader of one of the most successful galas in the world.

Thomas Gottschalk hat nach einigen irritierenden Auftritten seine Krebserkrankung öffentlich gemacht und erklärt, während der Galas zur Bambi- und Romy-Verleihung unter starken Schmerzmitteln gestanden zu haben. Diese Auftritte zogen enorme Häme, Verunglimpfungen und Kritiken nach sich: Gottschalk sei ein fürchterlicher Chauvi, sowieso ein alter weißer Mann, es sei falsch, ihm die Bühne zu bieten. Kann diese neue Erkenntnis die Lautsprecher der mutmaßlichen ideologischen Integrität dazu anregen, sich zukünftig öfter auf die Zunge zu beißen? Oder zieht der Opportunismus noch tiefere Spuren?

If you've ever wondered whether your gala is really worth all the time, money, and energy it takes to pull off, this episode is for you. I've been in the trenches planning big-name events with celebrity co-chairs and keynote speakers, and I've also seen nonprofits raise six- and seven-figure gifts in just a few conversations. When you compare the cost, the time, and the results—it's not even close.In this episode, I'm breaking down the true ROI of galas versus focusing on major gifts, why galas are almost always more exhausting than they are profitable, and how you can start raising unrestricted dollars in less time with a better strategy. IN THIS EPISODE, I TALK ABOUT:Listener wins: real stories of people who closed $15K, $75K, and even seven-figure gifts just from listening to this podcastThe hidden costs of galas- staff time, hard expenses, and energy drainWhy gala money is often restricted (and why that ties your hands)The challenge of converting gala guests into loyal donorsHow major gifts free up your time and bring in bigger, unrestricted dollars fasterA client case study: what shifted when she stopped underestimating her board and started asking for moreThe real reason leaders cling to galas (hint: it's a courage problem, not a strategy problem) If you say you value relationship-building, why are you still prioritizing event planning? Major gifts are hands-down the highest ROI strategy, and they don't burn out your team. You can raise six figures in just a few hours a week with the right strategy, confidence, and language—and without spending nine months planning a gala.Want 15 leads in 5 minutes? DM me "Breakfast burrito" on LinkedIn and I'll send you a pdf and 6-minute training to help you generate 15 leads for your nonprofit in minutes. It's totally free. All you need is an email to sign up. DM me "Breakfast burrito" - I'm from Texas, what can I say? - to get your pdf and mini training.

It's back-to-school season, which means development teams are mapping out their fundraising calendars—and facing the same ol' dilemma. Do you throw a glitzy gala for 500 people, or host intimate wine tastings in board members' living rooms? Big events look impressive on paper (and in those Instagram posts). But, here's what most organizations don't calculate: the hidden costs of staff burnout, volunteer fatigue, and months of planning that could be spent actually building relationships with donors. Andrew makes a compelling case for why he's ditching the ballroom for the living room. Spoiler alert: It's not just about saving money—it's about creating genuine connections that turn one-time attendees into lifelong supporters.

Welcome back to Elevate Your Event! In this behind-the-scenes episode, Jeff sits down with David Farmer, Area Director for FCA South Denver, to explore how intentional event design, bold decisions, and donor-focused experiences have transformed FCA's fundraising efforts.In This Episode:The early days of FCA South Denver events—from small golf tournaments to first attempts at galasWhy cultivating donor relationships takes more than one big event a yearThe power of “micro-events” like Conversations with Champions to engage the communityHow upgrading venues, raising ticket prices, and rethinking sponsorship levels can elevate both the guest experience and your fundraisingLessons learned from event hiccups (and why nobody noticed the auctioneer missed the paddle raise!)Why It Matters:Fundraising events aren't just about raising money—they're about building relationships, telling your story, and creating an experience people want to support. David's journey shows how taking risks, elevating the experience, and leaning on the right team can turn average events into impactful ones that drive long-term support.Key Takeaways:Elevating your event often means elevating your venue, pricing, and expectationsDon't overlook the small “relationship-building” events that lead to bigger donationsStrategic sponsorship tiers can unlock more high-level supportYou can't do it alone—surround yourself with experts, volunteers, and a planGreat donor experiences come from attention to detail—and a willingness to learn from mistakesFinal Thought:If your events feel stuck in neutral, maybe it's time to elevate your strategy. Tune in for real-world lessons on risk, relationships, and building events that grow both your donor base and your mission.

Founder of her own label, Groov'Earth Records, Michelle is the visionary behind the “Groov'With Me” sound—an infectious blend of 80s–90s nostalgia and modern dancefloor energy.

En esta edición especial del Festival Internacional de Cine en Guadalajara, uno de los aspectos más significativos es el impulso a las funciones de gala a beneficio de organizaciones humanitarias. Una parte de lo recaudado en estas funciones se destina a organizaciones que ayudan, que protegen, que acompañan... Organizaciones que todos los días trabajan con personas en situación vulnerable, con comunidades marginadas, con quienes enfrentan dificultades de salud, pobreza o exclusión. En este podcast de El EXpresso de las 10 conversamos con la Hermana Lety Manzano quien nos presenta el Asilo San Vicente de Atotonilco el Alto, una de las organizaciones que recibirán apoyo de las Galas a beneficio del FICG en su edición 40.

Este 2025, el Festival Internacional de Cine en Guadalajara apuesta por el cine con sentido social, destinando funciones especiales para apoyar a organizaciones humanitarias que trabajan todos los días por el bienestar de los más vulnerables. El público, al comprar su entrada, no sólo accede a una experiencia cinematográfica de primer nivel, sino que también contribuye a una causa noble. Como ya es una tradición Radio Universidad traslada sus micrófonos a la sede de Festival Internacional del Cine, por lo que hoy transmitimos El Expresso de las 10 desde el Conjunto Santander de Artes escénicas para llevarte los detalles de las galas a beneficio.  En este podcast  conversamos con  Karla Ramírez socia fundadora de Vamos Guerreros organización ciudadana para el apoyo de los niños con cáncer.  ¡Luces… Cámara… Acción!  

Ned Heads! In this episode, Daniel is invited BACK to the pod as we celebrate Lindsey and Daniel's birthdays, reflect on where they are vs. where they were, emotional well-being, and the challenges of navigating relationships. We discuss the importance of following through on creative projects and the impact of substance use on personal growth.  In this conversation, we delve into the themes of accountability, the critique of societal excess as exemplified by the Met Gala, and the complex relationship between art, wealth, and cultural disparity. We explore the dichotomy of art emerging from both privilege and struggle, and the impact of industry on artistic integrity. And of course, we engage with fan submissions and shed some wisdom. Stay tuned for a special episode next week as we bring back guests to the Pod!

Meryl Streep bat unseren heutigen Gast darum, ihr die Finger zu wärmen. Auch Sharon Stone und Susan Sarandon griffen direkt nach seinen Händen - was sich sogar reimt. Er traf die Stones und Bowie und hastenichgesehn, kennt Glamour und Galas, aber hauptsächlich sprach er mit Leuten, die Schulz, Schneider oder Schmidt heißen und Probleme hatten mit dem Nachbarn, ihrem Pachtvertrag oder dem Schienenersatzverkehr. Wer so eine breite Klaviatur beherrscht, darf zu Recht „Reporterlegende“ genannt werden. Ulli Zelle kam 1951 im niedersächsischen Obernkirchen zur Welt. Die Mutter Sekretärin, der Vater Bergmann. Eine schöne Kindheit bescheinigt er sich rückblickend und vielleicht gab ihm dieses Fundament den nötigen Rückhalt, um den großen und kleinen Dingen des Lebens mit einem gewissen Optimismus zu begegnen. So jedenfalls wirkt es. Und so legte er damals los, abgebrochene Lehre, nachgeholter Schulabschluß, Studium, erste Reporterjobs und 1973 dann die gewichtige Entscheidung, in Berlin zu leben. Ulli Zelle landete beim Sender Freies Berlin, der später mit dem ORB zum rbb wurde, begann 1985 in der Abendschau und blieb dort 40 Jahre vor der Kamera. Eine Win-Win-Win-Situation: für ihn, den Sender und alle Zuschauenden. Und jetzt wirklich der Ruhestand? Schwer vorstellbar. Na, wir sind gespannt.

You can't get it out of your head - the image of Kimberly and Sydney, flowing attire flapping in the wind, casually eating ice cream while walking along the beach and plotting a M U R D E R of Michael Mancini. Or as they say in My Cousin Vinny, Murder IN THE FIRST DEGREE! But, did their ginger plot start with murder, or was it more of a slow build? Maybe the began by imagining what would happen if they just released a little air from his tires every now and then, requiring him to stop and fill them up more frequently. Perhaps putting one Macintosh apple in a bag of Galas, making him question his flavor profile? In this month's robot remix, we asked robot to help us imagine what happened in the moments before the cameras arrived.

We're glad you're back for our second Petrus Development Show episode highlighting etiquette tips for fundraisers.  As with our previous episode on good dining behavior, Andrew and Rhen offer specific rules for formal table manners.  Again, we know this is a unique topic for one of our shows, but as we all know, fundraising is about relationships.  If your dinner etiquette is rude or unappealing, it absolutely affects your ability to raise funds and grow donor relationships.  If the summary for part 1 of our etiquette series was "do no harm", this second episode can be summed up with a short "follow their lead".  Watch your host and model your behavior after theirs.  In doing so, you are less likely to embarrass or offend!

This week we talk Mario Party, Galas, the relative quality of men's and women's restrooms, and of course Ecclesiastes 6:10-7:14. The main conversation is on the wisdom that comes from a right perspective on mortality and how it applies to the daily posture of our hearts.

For Episode 403, Nadia Dalimonte, Cody Dericks, Sara Clements & Danilo Castro, and I have much to discuss. It was a massive week in the world of awards season as we got the Opening and Closing Night film announcements for the 62nd New York Film Festival (NYFF), the entire 2024 Venice International Film Festival lineup, and a large chunk of the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) lineup including the Galas and Special Presentations, Platform, Discovery, and Midnight Madness programming. Tune in as we discuss the films that will be playing at all of them, plus what we think will be announced over the next several weeks as we head towards the fall film festivals. We also react to the trailers for "A Complete Unknown," "His Three Daughters," reveal the winners of last week's poll asking "Which Has Been Your Favorite MCU Film Post-'Avengers: Endgame'?," ask this week's poll question, "Which Films Are You Most Looking Forward To Seeing From The 2024 Venice International Film Festival?," announce the nominations for the 2010 NBP Film Community Awards, answer your fan-submitted questions and more. Your feedback and support are not just important; they are the heart of our podcast, and we're grateful for your participation. Please note that you can vote on the winners for the 2010 retrospective starting tomorrow and continuing until August 17th. Thank you, and enjoy!
