That sounds real tough. I feel like the best analogy is a marriage where you have some separate responsibilities.” “I think funders also are people who often deeply care about this work and have their own technical knowledge and experience and they want to engage in real conversations.” “I think it's really important to be able to engage with people, to tell them when you disagree, to have debates with them about real ideas. I think people can feel the authenticity of that.” “You need to have your own kind of boundaries and parameters about the money that you'll take.” “It doesn't have to be expensive and detailed and cumbersome to be able to put together this big vision that then you can share that can help advance your fundraising and your revenue generation, conversations, and activities.” Huge thank you to our sponsor!

About This Episode In 2018, Americans gave away $428 billion dollars, with 30% of it coming from the top half of the 1% of earners. More than $142 billion went to causes dictated by only a small number of Americans–a power that some consider undemocratic in a democracy. Now, envision a world with philanthropy that is structured radically differently – or perhaps doesn't exist at all. The question stands: how can we disrupt hierarchies that currently exist and who is already doing so? What successful practices can we lift up? Where should the field of philanthropy go from here? In this podcast, we explore these questions with Gara LaMarche, President of the Democracy Alliance and long-time advisor to and critic of traditional philanthropy, and Holly Fetter, a member of Resource Generation, an organization of young people with access to wealth who are pushing for those with wealth and class privilege to be more accountable to communities experiencing oppression and inequality.

Annie Peyton (@amp915) discusses her bike trip across the US, explains how she lands big opportunities, and shares stories from her year in Bangkok.Annie Peyton is an architect, designer, world-traveler, and adventurist. She received her Bachelors and Masters in Architecture from Tulane University. During her time in school, she spent a year studying in Copenhagen, Denmark. After school, she became the recipient of two national fellowships. As a Global Health Corps fellow, she worked in design for a year in Rwanda. As a Luce Scholar, she worked for for an architecture firm for a year in Thailand. Annie’s outlook on life is perhaps even more impressive than her resume. There are so many qualities that I admire about Annie. The first is her unshakable resiliency. Whether she’s on a bike in middle of wind storm, or at a lunch table when everyone around her is speaking a foreign language, or meeting with a random group of artists in the middle of Bangkok -- Annie is capable of adapting to any situation. Perhaps this is due to her incredibly high emotional intelligence.Throughout our conversation, you’ll hear how Annie is able to recognize her emotions, take ownership of them, and then use them to her benefit. Finally, I admire Annie’s holistic approach to life. She refuses to follow convention or stay in her comfort zone. Instead, she searches for alternative ways to challenge herself. And although she’s had such a diverse background, she’s still able to synthesize all her experiences into a cohesive narrative. Throughout our conversation, Annie explains her proven strategy for landing big opportunities and shares stories from her year in Thailand. She also explains her most memorable day and a story about the kindest thing that anyone’s ever done for her.

Jenna Bush Hager and Barbara Pierce Bush discuss their surprisingly normal childhood when they assumed that everyone’s grandfather got to have an inauguration, and why they initially didn't want their dad to run for President. Barbara discusses the difficulties of having the same name as the First Lady, and the time a Yale professor offered her an A if she could convince her dad to call off the Iraq War. Jenna talks about the infamous night they got caught drinking underage and recalls her and her husband's comical first date at the White House. They reveal the creepy dictator who had photos of them in his palace, their experiences on election night 2000 and 9/11, and weigh in on the recent story that neither their dad nor their grandfather voted for Donald Trump in 2016.
