In this episode of The First Day from The Fund Raising School, host Bill Stanczykiewicz, Ed.D. sits down with Mark Mayer, Ph.D., clinical associate professor at the Kelley School of Business and former brand manager turned humor scholar, to explore the serious power of being funny in fundraising. Mayer's deep dive into advertising and branding reveals that humor isn't just a crowd-pleaser, it's a message-multiplier. “You don't want it just to be funny,” Mayer notes, “you want it to achieve something, like increasing donations or building trust.” It's not about getting laughs for laughs' sake. It's about crafting meaningful connections, with a wink and a smile. But before you throw on a clown nose at your next gala, hold your horses. Humor, Mayer warns, is a double-edged sword, one that can charm or cut depending on how it's wielded. Missteps in tone can make a joke go from “ha-ha” to “uh-oh” real quick. The key is context. Know your audience, stay far away from controversial topics, and when in doubt, test that punchline on a trusted friend first (ideally one who doesn't control your payroll). And for the love of all that is professional, avoid trying your tight-five comedy routine on donors unless you're sure it won't backfire like a bad dad joke at a funeral. One of Mayer's golden rules? Start with self-deprecating humor. It's safe, it's humanizing, and hey, it's the one place where making yourself the punchline can earn respect instead of ridicule. Mayer uses it all the time in the classroom, poking fun at his age or his bafflement with TikTok reels (Relatable™). It breaks the ice without breaking trust. And if a joke flops? Well, joke about that too. Embrace the awkward, just don't drag anyone else down with you, especially if there's a power dynamic at play. Ultimately, Mayer reminds us that fundraising is about relationships, not transactions. Humor, when used thoughtfully, can transform a sterile donor interaction into a warm, authentic connection. As relationships deepen, shared laughter, even those beloved “inside jokes,” can build the kind of trust that keeps gifts coming year after year. But remember: you're not Dave Chappelle, you're a fundraiser. Keep it light, keep it kind, and keep your mission at the heart of every chuckle. Because when done right, a well-placed joke isn't just funny, it's fundraising gold.

Addressing internal issues will help achieve external success.T. Mark Mayer is a psychotherapist, master of NLP, and consultant specializing in conflict resolution, authentic management, and business coaching. He shares his journey of pursuing success through various high-profile corporate roles and starting his own companies, only to find that his unhappiness comes from trying to live up to the expectations of others. This led him to become a psychotherapist, which helped him realize the importance of connecting with his authentic self. This journey inspired him to help others with his work and the book "The Art of Being Authentic."What is the power of language and changing our ‘I have to's' towards more positive ‘I choose to's' and why trying different systems is not helpful without working within yourself? Why goals must have a meaningful purpose beyond just achieving another goal. Business success really depends on personal development even some business owners might be skeptical about it. Mark and Jennifer explain how their lives and businesses have changed and how to find authentic selves to pivot both in business and personal life.Show notes:

Tik Tok, launched in 2016, has been downloaded over 2 billion times and recently brought in Disney’s streaming guru, Mark Mayer, as their new CEO. The parent company, Bytedance, is the world’s most valuable startup and has a private valuation of between $105 billion and $110 billion, with talk that it could be worth up to $180 billion in an IPO. But with on-going privacy and censorship issues with the US rumbling in the background, is this their Facebook or Snapchat moment?

Hey there word nerds! Today I have the pleasure of welcoming Mark Mayer to the show. Mark is an author and has an MFA from the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, where he was a Michener-Copernicus Fellow, and holds a PhD from the University of Denver. He was also the Robert P. Dana Emerging Writer-in-Residence at Cornell College’s Center for the Literary Arts from 2012-2014. His stories have appeared in American Short Fiction, Kenyon Review, Guernica, Colorado Review, and Mid-American Review. Mark’s debut is a short story collection titled Aerialists, in which classic circus figures become ordinary misfits seeking grandeur in a lonely world. In this collection, Mark examines familiar tropes—like the strongman, the elephant keeper, the clowns—and reinterprets these myths by placing them in everyday contemporary life. So listen in as Mark and I chat about this amazing book and how to gain a deeper understanding of a story by falling into its world over and over again.  In this episode Mark and I discuss: The intimacy of a short story. Creating a unique reading experience in your writing. How to use the theme of your book as a marketing tool the right way. Advice on how to approach short stories of literary fiction as a reader. How to use language and imagery to anchor readers in your story. Plus, Mark’s #1 tip for writers. For more info and show notes: DIYMFA.com/260
