It's really powerful.”“I really feel like a better world looks like a world that's full of respect, for the people, for the planet and its delicate balance of biology and ecology.”"It's about continuous improvement."Links:Transition to Organic Partnership Program - https://www.organictransition.org/Impact Report for Transition to Organic Partnership Program - https://www.organictransition.org/impact-report/Ben Bowell on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-bowell-85901a1b3/Jessy Becket Parr on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jessy-beckett-parr-a5a681185/…Brands for a Better World Episode Archive - http://brandsforabetterworld.com/Brands for a Better World on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/brand-for-a-better-world/Modern Species - https://modernspecies.com/Modern Species on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/modern-species/Gage Mitchell on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/gagemitchell/…Print Magazine Design Podcasts - https://www.printmag.com/categories/printcast/…Heritage Radio Network - https://heritageradionetwork.org/Heritage Radio Network on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/heritage-radio-network/posts/Heritage Radio Network on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/HeritageRadioNetworkHeritage Radio Network on X - https://x.com/Heritage_RadioHeritage Radio Network on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/heritage_radio/Heritage Radio Network on Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@heritage_radioChapters:03:00 Introduction to the Transition to Organic Partnership Program04:33 Understanding the Transition to Organic Partnership Program07:57 The Role of Partnerships in Organic Transition09:07 Regional Partners and Their Selection Process11:31 Goals and Objectives of the Transition to Organic Partnership Program15:20 Highlights and Accomplishments of the Program20:14 The Importance of Collaboration and Community23:37 Managing a Successful Collaborative Program26:54 Getting Involved in the Program29:13 Who is the Program For?31:06 Free Resources and Support for Farmers32:16 Future Plans for the Program35:00 Funding Opportunities and Strategies37:36 Advice for Collective Action and CollaborationSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode and as part of our PHIG Impact series, Amy Perkins of the Wisconsin Department of Health Services talks about how the state is rethinking public health infrastructure funding to make life easier for local and tribal health departments. Amy explains how Wisconsin is using the Public Health Infrastructure Grant (PHIG) to reduce administrative burden, decentralize funding management, and prioritize flexibility over red tape. Amy discusses practical strategies like housing PHIG within a partnership-focused office, streamlining grant processes, supporting accreditation by directly covering PHAB fees, and quickly moving funds through regional service and resource-sharing grants. Amy also shares what she's hearing from the field: how flexible funding is helping health departments sustain staff, invest in professional development, strengthen foundational capabilities, and better respond to community needs.About the PHIG National Partners - Public Health Infrastructure Grant

The report showcases 12 hospital-led programs that go beyond the traditional care setting to address community health needs across the state. It also outlines investments totaling more than $4.5 billion in community benefit activities in fiscal year (FY) 2023, from education and prevention services to clinical research, healthcare workforce support and more. “Michigan hospitals continue to redefine care delivery and create new, innovative access points across the state,” said MHA CEO Brian Peters. “The MHA Community Impact Report is a strong reminder that our hospitals are committed to listening – and responding – to the needs of their communities.” Programs featured in the report include University of Michigan Health-Sparrow's mobile health clinic; Henry Ford Health's hospital-based doula program; Corewell Health Gerber Hospital's vaping cessation initiative; Mackinac Straits Health System's retail pharmacy; and efforts by Bronson Battle Creek Hospital to address food insecurity; among many others.

Storytelling is the backbone of our movement. In this episode, Nick Tilsen sits down with writer and comedian Joey Clift to talk about how important it is to use narrative and storytelling as a mechanism to catalyse the LANDBACK movement, the power of modern-day representation, and Joey's upcoming short animation film, "Pow!." LEARN MORE: Pow! premieres 11/24 on FNX, watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOTuVqdwu8Y Pow! is an animated short film about Jake, a young Native American kid scrambling to charge his dying video game console at a bustling Coastal Salish intertribal powwow, where he learns that loving video games and loving your culture aren't mutually exclusive. Written and Directed by Joey Clift (Cowlitz), made by a largely Indigenous team and with an all-Native voice cast. Pow! is a comedic love letter to the communities that raised us. Joey Clift is a Los Angeles-based comedian, Emmy and Peabody-nominated writer, and an enrolled member of the Cowlitz Indian Tribe. Growing up, Joey aspired to become a local TV weatherperson because he didn't see Native American comedians on screen and thought a career in comedy was off-limits to him. He has since proven otherwise, writing for acclaimed series like Spirit Rangers (Netflix), Molly of Denali (PBS), and Paw Patrol (Nickelodeon). Joey is the creator of Gone Native, a Comedy Central Digital series about microaggressions Native folks often experience, and his comedy has been featured everywhere from Dropout to The Smithsonian Museum.

In this episode Nick Tilsen is joined by Foster Cournoyer Hogan, NDN Collective Bison Coordinator, and Wizipan Little Elk Garriott, NDN Collective President, to announce the launch of a critical mutual aid campaign in response to the SNAP benefits crisis, discuss how this moment calls us into action, and to share about the upcoming work for the Bison Homelands Initiative at NDN Collective. GUESTS: Foster Cournoyer Hogan Wizipan Little Elk Garriott LEARN MORE: https://ndnco.cc/feedthepeople NDN Collective is launching the "Feed The People" campaign in response to the SNAP benefits crisis. The U.S. Government shutdown is disrupting SNAP, deepening food insecurity in many Native and rural communities. The crisis is not just about hunger — it reflects the erosion of systems that once ensured community health and sovereignty of food sources. The "Feed the People" campaign is a call to action for funding mutual aid support in response to the disruption of SNAP in the Oceti Sakowin. While responding to the urgent needs of our community, we are also strengthening traditional food systems and collaborating with Indigenous-led projects focused on food sovereignty. NDN is seeking immediate funding to purchase and distribute bison meat boxes from Sacred Storm Buffalo to families affected in Rapid City and the surrounding communities. ➡️If you live in Rapid City and are looking for food assistance, we will have our first distribution on November 21. Stay tuned for updates on location and time. ℹ️Learn more about the campaign: https://ndnco.cc/feedthepeople

What if your portfolio could help advance justice, compassion, and human flourishing?Aligning your investments with your faith isn't just about avoiding harm—but actively shaping the world around them for good. Stella Tai joins us to talk about how investors are putting their values to work in the marketplace.Stella Tai is the Stewardship Investing Impact and Analysis Manager for Praxis Investment Management, an underwriter of Faith & Finance.Faith-Based Investing in Action: Praxis' 2024 Impact ReportFor many believers, investing isn't just about building wealth—it's about aligning financial decisions with faith values. Praxis Investment Management, a pioneer in faith-based investing since 1994, continues to demonstrate how Christians can utilize their investments to promote justice, compassion, and tangible change in the world. In its latest Impact Report, Praxis highlights how investor dollars are transforming communities and influencing some of the world's largest companies.Shaping a more just and compassionate world is something that's important to many investors, particularly those of faith. Praxis' annual report reveals where the money goes and how it's used, inspiring others to view their investments as powerful tools for making a difference.Praxis organizes its efforts around seven “impact strategies,” which support underserved communities, promote responsible business practices, and bring faith into everyday financial decisions.Speaking Truth to Power: Shareholder AdvocacyOne highlight of the report is Praxis's work in shareholder advocacy with global brands like Nike.Nike employs over a million people worldwide, many of whom are based in vulnerable regions. Praxis is part of a coalition pushing for stronger human rights protections in the supply chain, including safeguards against wage theft and exploitation. Every worker deserves to have their God-given dignity respected.Praxis is also collaborating with companies such as Coca-Cola and Nestlé to address child labor and wage theft in the global sugar supply chain, advocating for third-party audits and increased transparency.Positive Impact Bonds: Financing ChangeBeyond advocacy, Praxis invests in bonds that directly benefit communities. Recent purchases include:World Bank IDA Program Bonds, targeting extreme poverty with measurable results.Green and Sustainable Bonds from Freddie Mac, which expand affordable housing and environmental stewardship.These investments generate jobs, improve access to healthcare, and help communities thrive—all while providing competitive financial returns.Real Stories of TransformationPraxis' report also shares stories of hope, such as the expansion of Always Keep Progressing, a Miami therapy center that serves children with special needs. Through investment partnerships, the clinic now helps more than 400 families.This is redemptive investing in action. It's about fostering human flourishing, not just financial gain.Praxis also partners with Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) and credit unions that serve neighborhoods often overlooked by traditional banking systems. These organizations offer small business loans, enhance access to healthcare, and provide support to underserved rural and urban areas.Whether here in the U.S. or abroad, CDFIs are helping communities gain access to capital and create opportunities.The Momentum of Faith-Based InvestingMore Christians are realizing that their portfolios can reflect their values.Scripture calls us to care for the poor, the widow, the orphan, and the foreigner. When our faith aligns with our financial actions, even small changes can move markets toward justice.This includes proxy voting, which Praxis views as a form of corporate discipleship—using investor influence to advocate for fair labor, environmental stewardship, and other critical issues.How to Get StartedStart by asking yourself a simple but important question: “Do my investments reflect my faith values?” If the answer is no—or you're not sure—consider talking with a financial professional who understands faith-based investing. Every investor, whether managing a little or a lot, can play a role in shaping a redemptive economy. That's why we recommend connecting with a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA).

You can access it at PraxisInvests.com, along with quarterly updates and resources to help you make informed, faith-driven investment decisions.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'd like to set up a trust that distributes money to my children monthly after my death, rather than giving them a lump sum. How is a trust manager typically compensated? Are they paid with each monthly distribution, or do they take a percentage?I'm 71, retired, and using a managed account to supplement my retirement income by withdrawing about 4.2% annually. Is this a wise approach for sustaining my retirement, or should I consider other strategies?I just turned 66 and plan to file for Social Security soon. My goal is to be debt-free by the time I retire. Should I use my Social Security benefits over the next couple of years to pay off my mortgages so I can enter retirement without debt?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Praxis Investment ManagementWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

Explore the intersection of philanthropy, data science, and the evolving tools shaping nonprofit fundraising, with our guest, Scott Brighton, CEO of Bonterra. Bonterra, a software company serving both nonprofits and funders, processes nearly 10% of all U.S. philanthropic activity outside government sources. This scale gives Scott and his team a uniquely comprehensive vantage point to identify what truly drives growth and effectiveness in today's nonprofit landscape.The episode centers on Bonterra's newly released ‘2025 Impact Report', which identifies strategic patterns and technologies used by high-performing nonprofits. Scott explains, “We're not just looking at the growth of philanthropy; we're looking at what successful organizations are doing differently.” Key among those behaviors is fundraising diversification—no longer a suggestion but a necessity, especially in light of sudden disruptions like cuts to federal funding. Scott shares that some Bonterra clients saw 90% of their federal funding evaporate overnight, a stark reminder that relying on a single funding stream is risky.Technology, and specifically AI, is positioned as the great equalizer. Scott introduces tools like “Optimized Ask,” which uses behavioral data to recommend the right donation amount for each donor, improving average donor yield by 11%. This innovation, he explains, enables nonprofits to effectively engage their long-tail donors without additional staff—something that was previously out of reach for most organizations.Another key point Scott shares is the local nature of nonprofit growth. Despite a doubling of registered U.S. nonprofits over the last decade (now nearing two million), 90% operate with budgets under $5 million. Rather than viewing this as a challenge, Scott sees it as a feature: these hyper-local organizations are ideally positioned to address complex societal issues with intimate community knowledge. Bonterra is facilitating cross-sector collaboration among these small players to help large funders feel confident investing significant resources.The conversation wraps with Bonterra's bold internal campaign: “3% by 2033.” The goal is to raise the nation's charitable giving from 2% to 3% of GDP in under a decade. Scott is optimistic—not because of software alone, which he candidly says requires more resources than many nonprofits can spare—but because of the promise of agentic AI: autonomous systems that act on data insights without human micromanagement. “The future of fundraising isn't just emotional—it's intellectual,”Find us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

Together they discuss how the podcast has influenced their perspectives about life and work, and how they look to the future for taking the next steps of development.Key Reflections"The most inspirational people often have an overriding purpose – something greater than themselves that motivates them to act."“Inspiration is about more than success or achievement. It's about attitude – a willingness to explore, to take risks, and to stay curious.”“Many of our guests had to embrace uncertainty or ambiguity at some point in their journey."“Being an inspiration to others was often something guests had not considered about themselves.”“The podcast is designed to challenge assumptions – by hearing from people outside your own world, you begin to understand different ways of thinking.”“What guests often valued most about the interview was the opportunity to reflect on their life and what shaped them.”“Each episode is a window into someone's world, and those windows have revealed the many forms that inspiration can take.”“These conversations continue to affirm one thing – that every person has a story worth hearing.”Time Stamps01:26 Origins of the Podcast03:41 Defining inspiration06:06 Personal reflections on inspiration12:36 The role of curiosity and vulnerability23:31 Unexpectedly inspiring guests27:17 The journey of resilience and tenacity29:45 The power of ordinary acts32:21 Impactful stories from the podcast36:17 The Atuel river journey42:14 Reflections on longevity and success47:54 The future of the podcast Connect with Access to Inspiration: Twitter | Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn | Read our Impact Report and if you would like to support us then Buy Me A CoffeeProducer: Sue Stockdale Sound Editor: Matias De Ezcurra Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/access-to-inspiration--4156820/support.
Everyone loves a good renovation story—but which ones are actually worth it in 2025? In this quick breakdown of the 2025 NAR Remodeling Impact Report, I unpack what upgrades homeowners are really doing, what they're costing, and which ones actually pay off (both in value and happiness). I cover the top projects delivering the biggest return, the ones homeowners say bring the most joy, and a few common remodels that may not be worth the expense. Plus, I'll share some surprising stats on how people are paying for these updates—and why the DIY route isn't always the win people expect. If you're considering a kitchen makeover, bathroom upgrade, or a full-blown remodel this year, this is your cheat sheet to what works and what doesn't. As always, if you have any questions or comments (or, of course, need a realtor), feel free to reach out to Stan McCune directly by phone/text at (973) 479-1267 or by email at smccune@cdanjoyner.com
In this landmark 150th episode, Sue Stockdale talks to Kris Tompkins, one of the world's most prolific conservation philanthropists. Kris shares a powerful, personal perspective on what drives her and urges listeners to ditch the myth of individual powerlessness: “The excuse that ‘I'm just one person' - that's the weakest, nonsensical excuse there is. One person, it does matter.”In the conversation, Tompkins reflects on how her business experience helped shape a vision for nature conservation at scale, highlighting themes of risk-taking, leadership, and the power of direct engagement. She reminds us that the gritty, uncomfortable days in nature often leave the strongest impressions: “I like people being miserable in the national parks - those are the days we remember.”About Kris TompkinsKris Tompkins is the president and co-founder of Tompkins Conservation, and former CEO of Patagonia, Inc. For three decades, she has committed to protecting and restoring wild beauty and biodiversity by creating national parks, inspiring activism, and fostering economic vitality as a result of conservation. Kris and her husband, Doug Tompkins have protected over 15 million acres of parklands in Chile and Argentina through Tompkins Conservation and its partners, making them among the most successful national park oriented philanthropists in history.Kris served as Patron for Protected Areas for the UN Environmental Programme from 2018 to 2022. The recipient of numerous honours, she was the first conservationist to be awarded the Carnegie Medal of Philanthropy. Her 2020 TED talk "Lets make the earth wild again" has over two million views.

You can't fall in love with something you don't know. I like people being miserable in the national parks as those are the days we remember- the days you were freezing.The excuse that “I'm just one person”. That's the weakest, nonsensical excuse there is. One person, it does matter.People have to decide that they want to participate in something more than what they currently have in their daily life. They see what's going on in the outside world and they want to do something. And that's a decision. And that's probably the most difficult step of all. There are people working for nature who need what you're good at. It's the wilfulness that people get stuck on.

Sue Stockdale speaks to adventurer, author, and deep thinker Ed Ley-Wilson. Ed shares insights from his life exploring both the outdoors and the mind. From kayaking the rugged west coast of Scotland to reflecting on resilience, solitude, and the power of slowing down, Ed reveals how adventure - whether on land, sea, or within ourselves shapes our engagement with the world. About Ed Ley-WilsonEd has over thirty years of working and engaging with business, community, educational, social and environmental issues throughout the Highlands of Scotland.

Ed is no stranger to hardship and during his 2022 kayaking journey up the west coast of Scotland he faced some of the worst weather in that region for years. He also has two books to his name, ‘The Himalayan Shuffle' and ‘Kayaking the Sea Roads.Key Quotes"Adventure isn't just about the physical challenge; it's about how we engage with the world around us and what we learn from it.""Solitude teaches you resilience in a way nothing else can - you have to sit with your thoughts and find your own way through them.""Whether on the sea or in life, you can't always control what happens, but you can control how you respond to it.""The lessons I learned from John Ridgway weren't just about survival; they were about self-reliance, discipline, and understanding your own limits.""Slowing down and disconnecting from the noise of the modern world is one of the greatest gifts adventure can offer.""It's not a weakness to not know stuff.

Despite overcoming many challenges as well as mental and physical hurdles during her voyage, Zara highlights the importance of resilience, self-belief, and the power of support from loved ones.About Zara LachlanZara Lachlan is a 21-year-old physics student at Loughborough University who is joining the army in September 2025 as a technical officer. She has competed internationally in cycling and rowing which she started at 16 at Welbeck, the Army's 6th Form College. Zara heard about ocean rowing when she was much younger but only decided to take on this challenge last summer, and the first time she ever saw an ocean rowing boat was in August.Two and a half months of intensive training later, she was fully prepared to row across the Atlantic solo.Zara faced extreme weather leading to a capsize, orcas and sharks, and a near miss with a large ship, yet still describes her expedition as the most enjoyable and rewarding experience she has come across so far. Zara set out to encourage others to find a fun way to keep fit and healthy and gain the confidence needed to try something new. None of her crossing would have been possible without the support she got from the charity Team Forces and all her sponsors.Connect with Zara Lachlan via Instagram Key Quotes"I didn't have a big reason to row across an ocean, I just thought it would be fun.""Some days, I rowed for 21 hours, and it still wasn't enough. That was a hard lesson in learning to accept what's out of my control.""For almost 60 days, I had no music, no distractions, just the ocean, the wildlife, and my own thoughts.""The hardest part wasn't the physical challenge. It was waking up every day knowing I had 3,000 miles left to go.""Nine times out of ten, you're stronger than you think you are.

How can churches navigate change and uncertainty with creativity and resilience? In this episode, Dustin Benac shares insights from his research in the Pacific Northwest, where faith communities are experimenting with new organizational models in response to the decline of traditional church structures. Together, they explore themes of collaboration, authority, and innovation, discussing how faith communities can remain rooted in tradition while adapting to a rapidly shifting landscape. Dustin introduces the concept of "hubs"—new forms of church organization that connect congregations, nonprofits, and faith leaders in dynamic networks. He also reflects on how authority is shifting from institutional hierarchy to relational trust and local leadership, offering a hopeful vision for the future of faith. Dustin D. Benac, ThD, is an educator, practical theologian and organizational strategist. He teaches at Baylor University's George W. Truett Theological Seminary as the Co-Founding Director for the Program for the Future Church. He has supported and studied communities of faith who are navigating transition and uncertainty across North America. Prior to his appointment at Baylor, Dustin was a Postdoctoral Associate with Kate Bowler and the Everything Happens Project at Duke University. Dustin is the author or editor of multiple books and articles. His latest book, Adaptive Church: Collaboration and Community in a Changing World, explores what it takes for communities of faith to navigate organizational change. He is the co-editor of Crisis and Care: Meditations on Faith and Philanthropy and the Editor of Practical Theology, an international and interdisciplinary journal. His writing has been published by Faith & Leadership, Christianity Today, The World Council of Churches, Ecclesial Futures. An accomplished speaker, teacher, and fundraiser, he has worked with congregations and researchers across Canada, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and the United States. He is a graduate of Duke University, with Doctor of Theology (ThD) and Master of Divinity (MDiv) degrees, and Whitworth University.
