With the frequency and intensity of natural disasters rising, companies are increasingly stepping up to play a role in relief and recovery. But while any financial aid is beneficial to and appreciated by responders and impacted communities, lengthy grant approvals, short-term funding, and rigid spending restrictions can unintentionally hinder responders instead of helping them.We invited Amy Strecker, President of Duke Energy Foundation, to discuss how corporate foundations can best serve impacted communities after a disaster. Duke Energy Foundation is a leader in disaster response, prioritizing rapid aid, sustained recovery, and employee engagement. By fostering strong partnerships with local organizations and prioritizing both immediate relief and long-term rebuilding, Duke Energy Foundation ensures that communities are not just recovering—but emerging stronger and more resilient.Disasters test the strength of communities, but they also reveal the power of collective action. Duke Energy Foundation's approach demonstrates that when businesses step up with urgency, flexibility, and a long-term vision, they don't just help communities rebuild—they help them thrive.Listen for key insights on:Grantmaking strategies for disaster responseBarriers a grant can create to a nonprofit organization and how to avoid creating themMobilizing employees—regardless of their role—in disastersBuilding strong partnerships before disaster strikesResources + Links:Amy Strecker's LinkedInDuke Energy FoundationDuke Energy Foundation commits $1 million to support communities impacted by Hurricane HeleneDuke Energy Line Worker Training (00:00) - Welcome to Purpose 360 (00:13) - Meet Amy Strecker from Duke Energy (04:31) - The Foundation and Duke's Purpose (06:38) - Leadership During Hurricane Season (09:46) - Supporting Grantees (11:27) - Story (13:37) - Working as a Whole Team (15:55) - Line Worker Program (18:01) - Integration (19:40) - Hyperlocal (20:47) - Wins Together (21:47) - Being More Effective (23:52) - Rural (25:12) - Last Thoughts (27:07) - Younger Generations (28:14) - Wrap Up

In today's influencer-driven landscape, even the most experienced agents are losing deals to newer agents who do one thing differently - posting great content online.  The market doesn't just reward expertise - it rewards expertise, visibility and consistency, and that can be shown through the content we put out.  Social media content is a valuable asset in our businesses - especially in a down market. It is the marketing vehicle that validates us in the eyes of the consumer, fuels lead generation, reduces our marketing costs and makes us profitable.  In a tough market, it's tempting to pull back on our marketing efforts, but that actually cuts off a valuable revenue stream. This is the perfect time to double down on marketing and pour into our social media and sphere of influence.  How do we create content that guarantees current and future business? How do we leverage hyper-local, hyper-branded content?  In this episode, I'm joined by the CEO and co-founder of Roomvu, Sam Mehrbod. He shares how their platform (and partnership with ConstantContact) helps agents turn content into a solid source of business.    Things You'll Learn In This Episode  Entertaining, educational and enduring  If we're consistent about content creation, it can validate us and reduce our marketing costs. What kind of content should we post to achieve this? Hyperlocal and hyper-branded content Consistency and visibility are really important in today's real estate market. How does Roomvu help busy agents accomplish this in less time? Never stop marketing  The current real estate market has made many agents slow down or step to the sidelines. Why is this a huge mistake?  How to turn social media into a revenue stream Why do real estate agents who invest in content outearn and outlast everyone else?  Guest Bio Sam Mehrbod is an innovative entrepreneur in real estate technology.

Lawmakers are exploring the pros and cons of emboldening regional governments.

Local government is a Vermont tradition. But recent disasters have lawmakers considering a new option – regional governments. They'd handle duties that some think are too complex for individual towns and their volunteer officials. This change would transform the way Vermont oversees emergency services, law enforcement, infrastructure projects, and more. We hear from the co-sponsor of the bill that kickstarted this discussion, Sen. Ruth Hardy of Addison County, Two Rivers-Ottauqueechee Regional Commission Executive Director Peter Gregory, and Executive Director for the Vermont League of Cities and Towns Ted Brady.
