What does better analytics actually mean when your mission is protecting the planet? At SAS Innovate, I sat down with John Blackwell, Director of Strategic Analytics at The Nature Conservancy, to explore how data, AI, and marketing intelligence are helping one of the world's largest conservation organizations raise more money, operate more efficiently, and ultimately direct more resources toward protecting land, water, and ecosystems across more than 80 countries. In this episode, John explains how analytics has become a critical part of modern conservation strategy. With fundraising supporting everything from habitat protection to climate resilience projects, improving donor retention and increasing fundraising efficiency directly impacts how much work The Nature Conservancy can do around the world. John shares how the organization improved donor retention by 10 percent and increased year-over-year giving by 30 percent by moving away from siloed systems and toward a more connected, data-driven approach. We discuss how analytics helps identify long-term donor potential, personalize supporter journeys, optimize fundraising asks, and create a clearer 360-degree view of donor engagement across email, direct mail, telemarketing, and digital channels. John also explains why personalization in the nonprofit world requires a very different balance than in commercial marketing. Trust and authenticity matter just as much as performance metrics. The conversation also explores how AI is quietly changing the way nonprofit analytics teams operate. From speeding up model development to improving feature selection and identifying rare high-value donor opportunities through synthetic data generation, John shares where he sees AI creating immediate practical value without compromising the human voice of the organization. What stood out most to me is how this is ultimately a story about efficiency creating impact. The more effective The Nature Conservancy becomes at fundraising and donor engagement, the more money can go directly toward conservation rather than operational overhead. And in a world where every nonprofit is competing for attention, funding, and trust, analytics may quietly become one of the most important tools available for protecting the future of our planet. So, as organizations continue investing in AI and analytics, are they focusing enough on the real-world outcomes those technologies can help create?

How will Cayden Boozer's responsibilities shift now that he is finally not playing alongside his brother? How does the Cayden Boozer-Caleb Foster dynamic differ from last year?

Things Discussed: Spring Game standouts: Hiter obviously. Buchanan, Tatum looks like a safety, Patterson, Edokpayi, and Palepale. Concern about Bryce? Nah, the situation was not conducive to seeing what Bryce can do; if you play Cov2 back all day for real we'll run like 2021 Washington. It was a better situation to show off what Carr can do. QB run game: rehash last year's issues: tactically it was there; strategically they hadn't run it so they screwed it up). Hoops transfers: Juke Harris or John Blackwell? For this team: Harris. Needs work on defense but Juke makes his own shots. Craig: how do the pieces fit together? Craig thinks Juke is a three. Is he coming? Sam was close to a gut feeling, but why have things dragged out? NIL numbers? Tennessee numbers embellished. Is it a bidding war? Don't know. Sam thinks Liburd is good enough that they don't need all their eggs in that basket. Thiam? Going against Pitino for him so that's big boy battle. Rez: Opt-outs might be moving him up the Draft; the Florida guys coming back has bumped him. If he's in the teens he's in the Draft for sure. Landon DuPont: first-ever status (can play younger) player in CHL, #1 overall potential, Denver/Michigan battle. Michigan hockey summer: Hage is coming back.

Things Discussed: Seth shares his story in the hotel lobby: Thank you to Champions Circle!!! How this team was built: Michigan cared about fit and personality. If you're trying to copy this and you spend more in the portal you're doing it wrong. Would any of these guys be as good if they stayed at their old schools? Will Izzo hate this team more, or when Flint product Trey McKenney leads them to a repeat? Dusty May future: perfect for this era where you pick whom you play for. Portal: Can they get John Blackwell through admissions? If he can graduate from Wisconsin. Portal: Juke Harris? Craig said he's a four; Seth says he is not a four because he's 200 pounds, and Wake was wrong. Hockey preview: It's random, but the story is USNDTP won hockey this year. Best goalie, best route, best seed, get the nice locker room for both games. NCAA took CHL players and it turns out NCAA hockey is stronger. Denver's goalie is super hot, their goalie is the Hurley of college hockey. Who's favored? Nobody. 1/4ths.

"And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, OUR FORTUNES, and our sacred Honor." Why did the signers of the Declaration of Independence have to pledge their fortunes (their money) to the revolutionary cause? How did unorthodox American ideas about money help win the Revolutionary War? And were the Founding Fathers, in fact, the first crypto bros? We explore these ideas in this episode about money, bills of credit, taxes and coinage in the 13 Colonies and the British Empire with economic historian Dr. Andrew Edwards. Topics include: -an explanation of money as a medium of exchange, a unit of account, and a store of value -a survey of the different forms of money that existed int he 1700s -the use of the novel payment system of BILLS OF CREDIT to pay for military expeditions due to the shortage of gold and silver in the Colonies -its use in the first invasion of French Canada in 1690 by Massachusetts -early British thinkers about money in the 1600s, including Cromwell's Treasurer of the Army, John Blackwell -the use of bills of credit and taxes to pay for Colonial infrastructure and other collective projects -the creation of the Continental Dollar -the fragility of the new American financial system, given that the British Army both captured entire regions, eliminating all the tax revenue there, and also printed counterfeit Continentals to undermine faith in the system -the collapse of the Continental Dollar and the US financial system while the war was still raging -the creation in 1781-82 of the Bank of North America in Philadelphia, which mimicked the Bank of England -the eventual triumph of the English banking model despite the triumph of the Colonies in the War of Independence

The Wisconsin Badgers just got thumped 31–7 by No. 2 Indiana on the road, dropping to 3–7 in a season that's testing everyone's patience — but it wasn't all doom and gloom. We break down Carter Smith's first start as the first true freshman QB to start for Wisconsin since 1991, his 45-yard touchdown strike to Lance Mason, the defense racking up five sacks on Heisman contender Fernando Mendoza, and how the game slipped away in the second half with just 23 total yards after halftime. We'll also talk about the scary Gideon Ituka injury and the positive early reports on his status. Then we pivot to basketball, where Wisconsin is off to a 3–0 start, blowing out Campbell, Northern Illinois, and Ball State behind big showings from John Blackwell, Nolan Winter, and Nick Boyd as the Badgers look like a legit Top-25 squad.

This week on Steady Droppin' Dimes, Sam Webb and Daniel Horton discuss the proposed two-game suspension for Michigan assistant coach Sherrone Moore due to deleted text messages during an NCAA investigation into Connor Stallions. Webb clarified that the suspension is not final and is part of a self-imposed punishment process. But the episode begins with and interview with Erika Morgan, mother of Michigan wideout Semaj Morgan, and Jillian Blackwell, mother of Wisconsin combo guard John Blackwell, about their new podcast, “Mom's in the Huddle with Jillian and Erika.” It focuses on parental support for student-athletes in the age of NIL. The conversation also touched on the impact of NIL on college sports, and specifically the long-term outlook for the smaller programs currently being ravaged for talent. Additionally, Webb highlighted the Ann Arbor Sports Commission's initiative to allow kids 13 and under to participate in all Epic Races events in the Ann Arbor area for free this year. The episode concludes with a chat with the president and CEO Golden Limousine Sean Duval about the deep-rooted relationship between his company and the University of Michigan, including his ongoing support of athletes through NIL, and extending beyond athletics with his various partnerships with Michigan medicine.

Basketball After TCU Starts at 1:00 Gee golly willickers that was a lot of turnovers. Michigan's team of point guards has none, unless you want to call Danny Wolf the point. Weird game where they turned the ball over 16 times, most of those steals, and still led at the half because when they do get a shot it's always at the rim or an open look from three. How to get Goldin involved? He's not really into the game, not just on his teammates not seeing him, but it's that as well. Walters is the most efficient offensive player in CBB but he's playing the same position as Wolf. Trying to figure out how the lineup shakes out because we're not going to have an eleven-man rotation all year. [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP]  2. Big Ten Basketball Preview: The Bottom Nine to Kenpom Starts at 29:14 Washington: Great Osobor was a great portal pickup but they can't keep C Franck Kepnang healthy. Rice transfer Mekhi Mason and NoDak transfer Tyree Ihenacho are uptransfers who had high usage at the 3 and 2, Butler transfer DJ Davis doesn't really do to for us either. Injuries already. Predicted finish: 18th. USC: They got Terrance Williams and they're all Terrance Williamses: 6'7” guys who can shoot save for “PG” Desmond Claude. Already injured. Projected finish: 16th. Minnesota: Speaking of injuries already; Year 4 for Johnson is another Year Zero after the guy they spent on in the portal got hurt. Seth likes (and pronounces) Lu'Cye Patterson at PG, and we all respect Dawson Garcia, but with their only other returner being carried off the court it could be rough. Predicted finish: 17th. Nebrasketball: Welcome to The Great Mid: Every basketball team from here on save Purdue is ranked closely together. Close loss to St Mary's in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Injury to stretch 5 Rienk Mast really hurts them. We like Brice Williams and Juwan Gary, think Rollie Worster from Utah is a decent PG, but lost too much to make the tournament. Predicted finish: 15th. Rutgers: This is where I'm mad about the Kenpom format. Two top-5 freshmen join a very good backcourt of Williams and Derkack, but the loss of their center looms large. Problem is spacing. Predicted finish: 5th. Northwestern: Respectable loss at Dayton (71-66) and nonrespectable OT win vs #324 Eastern Illinois. No more Boo, and you can't make Ty Berry into that guy. Matthew Nicholson is a truck driver, Brooks Barnhizer has a bad stache, Nick Martinelli will have to drive the team. True freshman PG? Ew. Predicted finish: 12th. Iowa: Payton Sandfort is going to have to shoot, and shoot he shall. Josh Dix is going to have to take on a lot more usage unless Brock Harding can learn to score. Will be bad on defense but mid their way to wins with Owen Freeman the latest yucky C. Predicted finish: 13th. Michigan State: What are they doing in this section? It's a very Izzo team, with no idea what they're doing at C because nobody gets developed, and nobody making threes. But they do have athletes and Izzo will make them play defense. Frankie Fidler from Neb-Omaha was the top transfer in the conference, Jaden Akins and Jeremy Fears have talent. They'll be…MSU. Predicted finish: 5th, deservedly 8th. Maryland: I don't know any of these guys –Brian. Julian Reese at center you know. They're heavily reliant on a #12 overall Derik Queen, a one-and-done at the wing, but that's working so far, got a 4-point loss to Marquette out of him. Ja'Kobi Gillespie and Selton Miguel are a decent backcourt. Very mid. Predicted finish: 11th. 3. Big Ten Basketball Preview: The Top Nine to Kenpom Starts at 1:01:27 Penn State Way high at #34 due to a win over (very bad, no PG) Virginia Tech. Ace Baldwin is the latest PG who carries them, though there's some upside in Tennessee transfer Freddie Dilione. Predicted finish: 14th. Oregon is also rated too highly. Altman gets the kinds of guys who get rated for NBA purposes but makes decent teams out of them. C Nate Bittle and SF TJ Bamba are good enough to carry them, got an efficient PF from Stanford and upgraded PG Jackson Shelstad to a sophomore, so they're mid. Predicted finish: 10th. Indiana got some decent portal pickups but let's say it again: no shooting! We like former 5-star Stanford transfer Kanaan Carlyle and PG Myles Rice from P12, Oumar Ballo is 5-star from Zona to rim protect. So athletic, so little shooting. Predicted finish: 9th. Michigan 6th. Wisconsin: Back to being extremely Wisconsin including a 103-88 win vs Zona that featured a parade of whistles. Steven Crowl is now a point center extraordinaire, Nolan Winter is the next 6'11” shooter and rebounder, John Blackwell, Max Klesmit, and former CSU guard John Tonje can all play but not well enough to go to the NBA. PG Camren Hunter injury could set them back. Predicted finish: 4th. Ohio State: Led the year off with a win over Texas and a closs loss at A&M. Kept Bruce Thornton out of the draft and got back Meechie Johnson from a two-year lease to South Carolina. Added bigs from UK and Duke so maybe they can defense their way through the season. Predicted finish: 7th. Illinois: Only returning starter is burlyguard Ty Rodgers but they picked up two internationals who are Working Out: see threeing the hell out of Bama in a surprising road win. Ivisic is a 5-star little bro of the UK/Arkansas one, Kasparas Jakucionis is a lottery pick, Evansville transfer ben Humrichous is a stretch 4 with range, and backup PG from Zona Kylan Boswell and L'vile transfer Tre White have evident talent. Upgraded to predicted finish: 2nd. UCLA: Have a loss to New Mexico (not too bad and UCLA shot 5/23). Might be a defensive nightmare. Got Eric Dailey who we wanted, also Tyler Bilodeau, an Iggy like PF. Skyy Clark is not a good basketball player but Mick Cronin manages to win in ways Brian hates. Predicted finish: 3rd. Purdue: Matt Painter is the best coach in CBB. Braden Smith it turns out is much better than “guy who lobs it to Edey.” They found three more huge centers, though none are 7'4”, and the new freshman Gicarri Harris fits right in, looks like a find. Fletcher Loyer and Trey Kaufman-Renn round out the most complete roster in the league. Predicted finish: distant 1st. 4. Hot Takes and Around the Big Ten with Jamie Mac Starts at 1:36:13 Guys I want to get this out: you know the scores. Northwestern shot themselves in the foot, MSU has no pass rush, Purdue is dead as a door nail, Washington-UCLA is how we learned UCLA lost their 4th eligible year of a starting quarterback to being the holder in 2021.  MUSIC: "Moving Without Touching”—Rubblebucket "Old School"—2Pac "Water Underground"—Real Estate    “Across 110th Street”—JJ Johnson and his Orchestra
