They begin by talking about how to measure success, giving examples such as tracking the various forms of engagement in one's organization. Next, they discuss the topic of activation. How do donors, listeners and supporters respond to calls to action, and what kind of pushback is there from nonprofits in this area?

Sharing examples and tips from their success, Jon & Becky offer invaluable insights on how organizations can connect with their supporters through activation and harness the power of generosity in the current giving climate that we live in. More topics include: - The pitfalls of only measuring giving against other metrics in an organization's growth plan - How to engage dimensionally with your organization's supporters - How the Barbie Movie is a good example of what not to do in terms of activation - And so much more!

For nonprofits and the impact economy, technology is everything. But how we’ve come to expect it to show up as business leaders, nonprofit consumers, and philanthropic givers needs to be completely inverted. This is a conversation that picks apart from top to bottom why and how we can center our actions on humans and lead with values. Moreover, we cover why leading with values is becoming increasingly important for the next generation of nonprofit leaders, and the effects it produces when connected to marketing, transformation, and implementation. If you’re a giver, a business leader, or an application developer, this is a conversation not to miss, because, if you’re not leading with value and humanity first, you’re missing out.

Becky Endicott and Jonathan McCoy join Purposely Podcast to share their founder story about ‘We Are For Good' from Oklahoma, USA. This is a special episode for me, I am a massive fan of their podcast and their approach, and I launched Purposely at the same time - sharing similar values to them. Heading into our late-night recording I got to ask questions that I had been sitting on for over a year. We talk about the joy of a successful launch and how deciding to take the leap in the first place was ‘most definitely' a family decision. We talk about how they decided to reject start-up capital and instead bootstrap the platform using their own time and effort as well as their own money. They have worked as consultants in their spare time to keep money coming in to cover living expenses. The good news is that their launch success will mean they can go fulltime in the New Year. The topic of burnout soon comes up with both giving a very candid and honest assessment of how difficult it is to start and grow something at the same time as prioritising other family commitments. So what is We Are For Good? It is a digital kindness community that is working to revolutionize the nonprofit industry through profound compassion, best-in-class education/training, authentic storytelling and crazy good marketing all leading to an #ImpactUprising.' Becky and Jonathan launched in 2019, they are long time colleagues and close friends, as well as the proudest Oklahomans you will ever meet – they are also ‘American philanthropy royalty' who really believe in the power of giving and receiving ‘collective good'. We Are For Good has big dreams to revolutionize the nonprofit industry's professional development through online training and enhanced storytelling. Their vision is to cultivate an ‘Impact Uprising' aiming to connect more people to philanthropy. Its podcast of the same name debuted at #1 in the USA in the nonprofit category and is frequented by nonprofit colleagues around the world How did it all start Becky? ‘I stumbled upon this graphic design intern who was in a senior year of college, which is John, and I decided to hire him, we just kind of grew up together in nonprofits! We're both ridiculous idealist and we call ourselves marketers disguised as fundraisers. We just have this optimism for the world!” ‘We just loved working together and we ended up having this amazing experience developing and running a revolutionary employee giving campaign at our health care foundation that raised over a million and really cemented our working relationship. 10 years later it's like that million dollar campaign with 1000s of employee donors all over again, except this time it is our company.' --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/mark-longbottom2/message

In this episode, I share a conversation with Jonathan McCoy and Becky Endicott from We Are For Good, about a topic that's near and dear to my heart - nonprofits and changing the world. I've actually been on their podcast as well and we had SO MUCH FUN. I feel like we could have gone on for hours, they're my newfound besties, and you're going to flip at just how down-to-earth these folks are! Jon and Becky knew each other since college and both started out their careers in marketing. Becky Endicott was a marketer and writer, while Jon McCoy was a designer. They both served the nonprofit sector through the Oklahoma State University Foundation.  And it was at this formative time, when they were entering into a billion dollar fundraising campaign, that they fell in love with the transformative power of philanthropy. Can you imagine two ridiculously young, ridiculous idealists, building the marketing for a billion dollar campaign?! Well, long story short, they pulled through and thus began their journey through their fundraising careers. But this dynamic duo wasn't quite satisfied, they wanted to give back MORE and still have time to be with their families! I mean, who says they can't have both, right?! And so, WE ARE FOR GOOD was born. Join us on this episode as we discuss how they turned their love for philanthropy into a thriving fundraising consultancy business committed to social impact initiatives.  They'll be sharing what it's like to be two marketers in the nonprofit sector, the social impact of fundraising and volunteering, & how they're nurturing the younger generations interested in forging their path in the philanthropic space. So, make sure you tune in! In this episode, we explore: The story behind how Jonathan McCoy & Becky Endicott found and nurtured their passion for philanthropy and fundraising What it's like building a fundraising consultancy as marketers How they are serving the younger generation interested in forging their path in the nonprofit sector Social impact uprisings and how it can lead the world to a more philanthropic place LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: How to Use Financials to Show Impact - Stephanie Skryzowski Ungettable Get List  Stephanie's blog post about her nonprofit experience and how you can change the world Master Your Nonprofit Numbers She's The First We Are For Good on Instagram We Are For Good on LinkedIn We Are For Good Community We Are For Good Workshops

Imagine you work at a nonprofit, where the hours are long, the cause is so big that it can feel overwhelming, and the pay is less than what is available in the corporate world. But you believe so deeply in the idea of nonprofits that you decide to leave your job, which has been stable for a decade, to start your own business, partnering with nonprofits to increase the amount of good they do. And then, as your approach the date of this career transition, a global pandemic causes an economic recession. Would you still make the leap? Becky Endicott and Jon McCoy, a pair of CAS alumni, did. On January 1, they left the Integris Foundation to create We are for Good, which produces podcasts and courses along with its for-hire services in branding and design, storytelling and writing, and consulting. They started with a bang, debuting at No. 1 on Apple Podcast's chart of nonprofit podcasts. We talk about why they went ahead and made the leap, how OSU helped prepare them for success, and what they wished more people understood about the world of nonprofits.

Carl and Richard talk to Darth Vader, a.k.a. Jon McCoy who shows developers how to hack .NET apps in memory and on disk. This turns into a pretty dark discussion about how challenging it is to secure in depth - infiltration and exfiltration vectors, how protection tools (like anti-virus) are great mechanisms for spreading malware. And according to Jon, .NET is a great tool for hiding malicious code. He talks about how he can modify a .NET application while it is running and use it to manipulate and steal information.
