With a voice forged through decades of ministry, fatherhood, and spiritual battle, John invites fathers to reject comfort culture and embrace the calling of servant leadership.

What happens when a major foundation president decides to speak out boldly during a crisis? How can philanthropy surge resources to protect nonprofit workers facing unprecedented job losses? In this season finale of the Fund the People Podcast, host Rusty Stahl sits down with John Palfrey, President of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, to explore how courage becomes contagious in times of sector-wide attacks. You'll discover the real math behind foundation payout increases, learn why one foundation moved from 5% to 6% giving (adding $150 million over two years), and understand the strategic thinking behind multi-year general operating support.Palfrey shares the behind-the-scenes story of how MacArthur Foundation responded to federal cuts targeting nonprofits—from increasing their payout rate to joining solidarity campaigns that have gathered nearly 700 institutional signatures. He offers frank "real talk" about the trade-offs of long-term funding, explains why he believes in the constitutional "freedom to give," and discusses how foundations calculated that nonprofit grantees lost about 12% of their federal funding. This conversation reveals both the possibilities and limitations of philanthropic response during crisis.As attacks on nonprofits continue through 2025, this episode provides essential insights for anyone working in or with the social sector. Whether you're a nonprofit leader wondering how to navigate funding relationships, a foundation professional considering how to increase impact, or simply someone who believes in the power of organized giving, you'll gain practical knowledge about how major philanthropy is adapting to meet this unprecedented moment—and why taking summer breaks might be the most important advice of all.Funding for Real Change - fundingforrealchange.com (true cost initiative tools)Season 5, Episode 7: "The Great Double Standard" (Rusty's rant about foundation overhead policies)Season 4, Episode 10: “MacArthur Foundation Makes Changes to End Nonprofit Starvation Cycle – with Kenneth Jones, MacArthur Foundation” interview about MacArthur's indirect cost policy Season 7, Episode 17: “Meet the Moment: A Call to Action for Funders – with Shaady Salehi, Trust-Based Philanthropy Project”Season 7, Episode 1: “Do Funders Understand the Nonprofit Burnout Crisis? – with Elisha Smith Arrillaga, CEP” on the 2024 State of NonprofitsHR 9495 - "The Big, Bloated Bill" (link to Congress.gov full text)Center for Effective Philanthropy “State of Nonprofits 2025: What Funders Need to Know” John Palfrey's guest post on CEP blog “Courage in Unity: A Funder's Response to the ‘State of Nonprofits'” (June 3, 2025 response to the report)Council on Foundations public solidarity sign-on campaign - (694+ institutional signatures supporting philanthropy's freedom to give)"Meet the Moment" commitment - Trust-based philanthropy pledge (nearly 200 institutional signatures)The Courage Project - Coalition of nonprofits and foundations launched May 2025BioJohn Palfrey is President of the John D. and Catherine T.

In Episode 6 of People, Alpha Warrior sits down with retired NYPD Lieutenant John D. Macari Jr. for a powerful conversation about integrity, accountability, and the cost of speaking truth within corrupt systems. Macari shares his journey from trusted department insider to whistleblower after being suspended for publicly opposing COVID mandates, an act that sparked a broader movement for transparency and constitutional rights in law enforcement. They unpack the cultural rot infecting America's police forces, including the rise of DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) initiatives, political pressure on command staff, and the silencing of officers who question the narrative. Macari reflects on the spiritual and personal toll of going against the grain, and how his decision to stand up ultimately led to greater freedom and purpose outside the force. From internal corruption to weaponized bureaucracy, this episode exposes the ideological battles playing out in America's institutions and the patriots fighting back from within. Macari's story is a call to courage for anyone trapped in fear, reminding listeners that reclaiming truth starts with one voice refusing to be silenced.
In this passionate Pentecost Sunday message titled “The Moment and The Mission,” Pastor John D. Putnam takes us back to the Upper Room and reminds us that Pentecost was not a past event—it's a present reality. With vivid storytelling and compelling scripture, Pastor Putnam paints a powerful picture of the risen Christ who didn't just appear for 40 days—He prepared His followers for both a moment of outpouring and a mission to reach the world. From the sound of rushing wind in Acts 2 to the challenge Jesus gave to 500 people—only 120 of whom obeyed—this message asks every believer: Will you just have a moment, or will you join the mission? With truth, humor, and urgency, Pastor Putnam invites us all to experience the same Holy Ghost that was poured out on Pentecost. If you've ever questioned whether the Spirit still moves or whether God's promise is still for you—this sermon will leave no doubt. It's time to stop standing on the sidelines and step into both your moment and your mission.

In this illuminating message titled “God's Light, God's Order,” Pastor John D. Putnam explores the powerful connection between God's presence, divine clarity, and the chaos of our world. Drawing from Genesis 1, he shows how God's first act—speaking light into darkness—was not just a moment of creation, but a blueprint for transformation. With passionate storytelling and personal insight, Pastor Putnam reminds us that darkness—whether spiritual confusion, fear, or bondage—cannot withstand the light of Christ. As God hovered over the void in the beginning, He still hovers over our chaos today, waiting for an invitation to speak light, order, and peace into our lives. This message calls listeners to stop living in spiritual darkness and allow God's Word to illuminate their steps, reorder their lives, and lead them out of fear into faith. If you're navigating uncertainty or longing for divine direction, this sermon is a timely encouragement to let God shine His light into every corner of your heart.

In a heartfelt Memorial Day message titled “Why It's Good to Remember,” Pastor John D. Putnam reflects on the power of remembrance—both national and spiritual. Drawing from Joshua 4, he recalls God's instruction to build a stone memorial after the Israelites crossed the Jordan River, so future generations would remember His miraculous provision. Pastor Putnam parallels this with America's Memorial Day, honoring those who gave their lives for freedom, and reminds listeners not to take liberty—or faith—for granted. He invites members of the congregation to share personal testimonies of transformation, healing, and God's provision, demonstrating that remembering strengthens faith, teaches the next generation, and anchors us in gratitude. This sermon challenges us to look back with reverence so we can move forward with hope and purpose.

Daniel Ludwig was the richest man in the world and no one knew his name. I've read almost 400 biographies of history's greatest founders and this book is one of my all time favorites. Daniel Ludwig started his company at 19 and was working on it well into his 90s. He built a massive conglomerate of over 200 companies operating in more than 50 countries. Spending the time to learn how he did this is a great investment. This episode will tell you what I learned from rereading The Invisible Billionaire: Daniel Ludwig by Jerry Shields. ----Ramp gives you everything you need to control spend, watch your costs, and optimize your financial operations —all on a single platform.

Obsessed with privacy, Ludwig pays a major public relations firm fat fees to keep his name out of the papers.2. An associate speaks of his unlimited ingenuity in dreaming up new ways of doing things.3. Ludwig's most notable characteristic, besides his imagination and pertinacity, is a lifelong penchant for keeping his mouth shut.4. I'm in this business because I like it. I have no other hobbies.5. Pertinacity: Holding strongly to an opinion, purpose, or course of action, stubbornly or annoyingly persistent.6. Risk Game: Self Portrait of an Entrepreneur by Francis Greenburger (Founders #243)7. At his peak, he owned more than 200 companies in 50 countries.8. War makes the demand for Ludwig's products and services skyrocket.9. Hard Drive: Bill Gates and the Making of the Microsoft Empire by James Wallace and Jim Erickson. (Founders #290)10. He did not mellow as he grew richer and older.11. Some years later, the captain of a Ludwig ship made the extravagant mistake of mailing in a report of several pages held together by a paper clip. He received a sharp rebuke for his prodigality: "We do not pay to send ironmongery by air mail!"12. Ludwig's tightfistedness, however, persisted after the Depression, putting him in sharp contrast to such free spenders as Onassis and Niarchos. It also was largely responsible for many of his innovations in the shipbuilding industry.13. Onassis: An Extravagant Life by Frank Brady. (Founders #211)14. Ludwig's ridding his ships of any feature that did not contribute to profits pleased his own obsessive sense of economy and kept him a step ahead of the competition. When someone asked why he didn't put a grand piano aboard his ships, as Stavros Niarchos did, Ludwig snapped, "You can't carry oil in a grand piano."15. Stay in the game long enough to get lucky.16. The world is a very malleable place. If you know what you want, and you go for it with maximum energy and drive and passion, the world will often reconfigure itself around you much more quickly and easily than you would think. The Pmarca Blog Archive Ebook by Marc Andreessen (Founders #50)17. The yacht was as much a business craft as any of his tankers and probably earned him more money than any of them.18. Like the Rockefeller organization, Ludwig had mastered the practice of keeping his money by transferring it from one pocket, one company to another, while appearing to spend it.19. He had learned something by now. Opportunities exist on the frontiers where most men dare not venture, and it is often the case that the farther the frontier, the greater the opportunity.20. The way to escape competition is to either do something no one else is doing or do it where no one else is doing it.21. Much of Ludwig's success was due to his willingness to venture where more timid entrepreneurs dared not go. ----Founders Notes gives you the ability to tap into the collective knowledge of history's greatest entrepreneurs on demand.

A year after his birth, three of his mother's brothers leave for America, settling in Memphis, where they start a successful wholesale grocery business that includes liquor and wine.1859DOMENICO CANALE ARRIVES IN AMERICASixteen-year-old Domenico Canale sails for America, landing in New Orleans after a 65 day-long voyage. From there, he travels up the Mississippi to Memphis, Tennessee where he worked for his uncle, Abraham Vaccaro, running a modest fruit cart up and down the streets of Memphis.1866Canale formally establishes food wholesaler D. Canale & Co., and sets up operations in a warehouse at 8 Madison St. near Front. Among its offering is a whiskey, sold in ceramic jars and bottles, that Canale names Old Dominick.1880Canale develops the Dominick Toddy, a bourbon-based cordial with fruity overtones that must have spoken to the former fruit stand operator. It was described as the “one of which we are the proudest” and its label featured the now iconic Dominicker Rooster.1919Just three days before the ratification of the 18th Amendment to the United States Constitution, better known as Prohibition, Domenico Canale passes away at the age of 75 in his Midtown home.1921During Prohibition, Domenico's eldest son, John Dominick Canale, expanded D. Canale's food and product operations. With distribution up and down the Mississippi from Chicago to the Gulf of Mexico, as far east as Atlanta, and west into Indian Territory, it was one of the largest grocery distributors in the region.1933By the time Prohibition was repealed in 1933, D. Canale and Company was operating the largest refrigerated warehouses in Memphis, which caught the attention of Anheuser-Busch. Most beer at the time was unpasteurized and had to be refrigerated, as a result of their refrigeration and an established distribution footprint, D. Canale was awarded exclusive regional distribution rights for Anheuser-Busch beers.1965A young John D. Canale, Jr. becomes President of D. Canale following his father's untimely death. A graduate of Yale and a Lieutenant in the Navy, John D., known by many as “The Bear”, led D. Canale into some of its most prosperous years by diversifying into institutional food and banking. He conceived of the company bywords, “Quality Products, Quality Service, by Quality People,” which we remember to this day.1982John D. Canale Jr and his wife, Peggy, had two sons; John D. Canale III and Chris W. Canale. Planning for future generations, John D. Canale Jr. spun both the food business and the beer business out from under the parent company D. Canale and Company in 1982, thereby creating D. Canale Food Services, Inc., and D. Canale Beverages, Inc.1999After 125 years of continuous operation, D. Canale Food Services is sold. At the 125th Anniversary celebration, a grateful John D. Canale Jr. reminded his friends, family, customers, and the company's hundreds of employees that “Quality and Service are remembered long after the price is forgotten.” With the beverage industry trending towards craft beer, wine and spirits, the family sold D. Canale Beverages at its peak in 2010.

This week we are wandering the Mexican desert without our memories while we discuss “John Doe”! We're talking drug lord charm bracelets, our new fave the Mexican Cigarette Smoking Man, whether Doggett is experiencing a hangover from Skinner's New Years party, get some Reyes lore dropped on us, and the return of yellow Mexico lighting. How else will we know where we are! We wince a little at Reyes' accent, wonder what ideas were noodling around Vince's head, get sad that they destroyed Mulder's apartment set, and see Doggett's wife for the first time.
