One of the main concerns Kiwis have when planning out their retirements is the cost of getting old – especially when it comes to healthcare. Ed McKnight runs through a couple of the key things you need to take into consideration when it comes to health after retiring. Public is free, but you pay the price of waiting Over 36% of patients have waited more than four months for surgery The Government's target is 5%, which is why two-thirds of elective surgery in NZ now happens in private facilities (some of that is publicly funded). People wildly underestimate what private costs Most Kiwis think a hip replacement is under $10,000. It's about $27,700–$33,100. Prostate cancer surgery runs around $26,700–$32,300 and breast cancer surgery is around $9,400–$31,100. Ultimately, it's about quality of life. One Auckland man was quoted $165,000 for back surgery, couldn't pay, and sat at home on nine pain prescriptions until the public system took him. Insurance fixes that, but the premium quadruples by 65 Health insurance for a non-smoking office worker is about $170 a month at 35, but it's about $676 at 65. By 75 you're nearing $1,000 a month — over $100,000 across that decade. Over-65s claim more than three times what 35–49-year-olds do.

As a house call firm, Ennoble Care brings the most skilled clinicians to a patient's house to provide essentially a doctor's office inside, CEO Kush Das explained. That slowly progresses to more longitudinal care with nurses and social workers and care managers supporting patients. The company serves both Medicare and Medicare Advantage patients, depending on the market. About 1 of every 2 Medicare patients it serves is in the ACO REACH model, Das explained. He is proud of the work of the Complex Care Alliance, which has advocated for high-needs Medicare patients in accountable care. He is bullish on the LEAD model, which will take the place of the REACH Model starting in 2027. The latest physician fee schedule proposed rule reflects the work involved in operating a house call company, he said. The company, which doubled in the last 12 months, will continue on a similar growth trajectory, he said. The federal hospice moratorium — which he believes in — will hurt the company's efforts to grow hospice in the short term, he said.    Follow us on social media: X: @McKHomeCare Facebook: McKnight's Home Care LinkedIn: McKnight's Home Care Instagram: mcknights_homecare Follow Ennoble Care on social media: Facebook: Ennoble Care LinkedIn: Ennoble Care Instagram: ennoblecare Show contributors:McKnight's Home Care Editor Liza Berger; Kush Das, CEO, Ennoble Care Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Kilian Korth joined the show to have a discussion around ultrarunning's growing professionalization without sophisticated regulated drug testing, the limits and trade-offs of WADA/USADA-style regimes, and why "doping" as a blanket term obscures intent and severity. We unpack gray areas such as THC thresholds, TUE complexity for common medications, transparency vs backlash, influencer incentives, and the future pressure regenerative medicine and technology (e.g., super shoes) may place on sport rules. Kilian: IG: @runtoughmindset | Substack: https://substack.com/@runtoughmindset Sponsors: LMNT: https://drinkLMNT.com/HPO (free sample pack with purchase) deltaG: https://deltagketones.com Code: BITTER20 (20% Off) True Nutrition: https://truenutrition.com/hpo Code: HPO (20% Off) Episode Summary & Notes: Zach Bitter & Kilian Korth on PEDs, incentives, and doping in ultrarunning Context & framing Conversation is the third appearance by Kilian on Zach's podcast; shifts from traditional training/racing episodes toward current events in running. Sparked by recent doping-related controversies (Cam Hanes / Sage Canaday online conflict, Mike McKnight's discussion of BPC-157 use on Hanes' podcast). Both emphasize moving beyond narrow focus on specific peptides/cases to broader structural issues. Activism, incentives & tribalism Skepticism of modern activism: good causes often get distorted by perverse incentives (attention, platform growth, organizational self-preservation/mission creep). Online environments (especially short-form social media) reward polarization over curiosity or truth-seeking. Parallel drawn to low-carb diet advocacy: movement shifted from exploration of pros/cons toward dietary supremacy and identity attachment. Both hosts value changing one's mind with new evidence and prefer evolving conversations over tribal "debates" aimed at winning. Core problem in ultrarunning Rapid professionalization and financial incentives exist, but sophisticated testing (especially out-of-competition) is essentially absent. Honor-code system + high rewards creates conditions in which some athletes near the top are likely to use PEDs. Contrast with Olympic sports (e.g., swimming) where positives occur even with lower financial stakes. "Doping" is an unhelpful blanket term that equates intentional, high-impact cheating (e.g., EPO) with gray-area or accidental cases. BPC-157 and gray areas BPC-157 is an experimental peptide with very limited human data (one small study of 12 people among 36 total studies reviewed). Anecdotally has been used for tendon/muscle healing; on the WADA banned list at all times (no TUE pathway currently). Gray areas exist in WADA criteria themselves (performance enhancement potential, health risk, "spirit of the sport"). THC example: banned in-competition with a relatively high threshold; removed alcohol from the list is an example of changes over time. Distinction between letter of the rules vs. moral/cosmic fairness; between intentional advantage-seeking and medical/recovery use. Testing realities & practical challenges Full USADA/WADA-style regimes require whereabouts reporting, out-of-competition testing, and significant lifestyle constraints (conflicts with the free-spirited, remote nature of trail/ultrarunning). Even gold-standard systems have loopholes (missed whereabouts, remote camps, short-acting substances timed around sleep windows). Half-measures are expensive, burdensome, and unlikely to deter determined cheaters. Middle-of-pack and age-group athletes face different calculus; many use legitimate medications (inhalers, etc.) that may or may not require TUEs depending on type and dose/threshold. Possible paths forward discussed Transparency and honesty should be encouraged rather than punished (both hosts respect that Hanes and McKnight disclosed BPC-157 use). Practical ideas: Optional "non-competitive / open" checkbox so athletes using regulated substances can still participate without affecting results/records. Tested vs. non-tested divisions (bodybuilding-style model). More education needed around legitimate medical use (TUEs, Global DRO checks). Focus should prioritize the small professional/elite tier where financial and competitive incentives are highest over age-group minutiae. Future regenerative medicine and longevity interventions will force further adaptation; sport has already accepted large performance gains from technology (super shoes) more readily than internal/medical ones. Influencers & broader culture Influencer economy adds complexity: financial incentives to promote products or share experimental practices; difference between sharing personal experience vs. recommending use. Transparency with clear caveats is preferred; pure anecdote-driven advice remains problematic. Societal issues (tribalism, algorithmic incentives, low scientific literacy) make clean solutions difficult inside a small niche like ultrarunning. Closing notes Both stress nuance over black-and-white absolutism Conversation aims to push the sport toward honest discussion of incentive structures rather than endless case-by-case outrage. Kilian's Substack article ("The Run Tough Mindset") and upcoming documentary Forged in Failure are referenced as related material.

Sometimes what seems like the best option isn't always the best. When it comes to investing and KiwiSaver, it may seem like frequent swaps to whatever seems to be bringing in the best return is a good decision, but that may not be true. A recent study looked at what would happen if someone switched their fund managers every year, moving to the company that got the highest return over the last twelve months – turns out, they'd actually make less than if they'd stayed. Ed McKnight joined Jack Tame to chat about the study and the dangers of chasing winners. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

he International Home Care Nurses Organization is a gathering of international nurses — ranging from RNs to clergy, aides and therapists — who come together to share what they know about home healthcare nursing. Susan Hinck, PhD, president of organization, and Marilyn Harris, RN, a board member, recently returned from a three-day global conference in London at which nurses represented 33 countries. It's helpful to learn what other countries are doing in the area of home healthcare nursing, Hinck said. The Scandinavian countries —with their universal access to healthcare — in particular are an international model of strong home care nursing. Technology has allowed nurses in the home to provide more hands-on care, Hinck said.  And the increased focus on social determinants of health has helped to improve the health of home care patients, Harris noted.

Property's been the golden-goose egg in New Zealand for as long as we've known. It was your retirement plan, your income stream, your lifeline, and what you worked towards. The plan was simple: buy a house, pay it off and/or rent it out, and by the time you stopped working you had something solid behind you. It was our version of the American Dream. But with the house market in a state of volatility or decline, interest rates and insurance going up, and capital gains tax becoming a hot-topic, is planning your life around the property ladder outdated? or is it a financial trap? So is property still the asset it was, or should we starting widening our view elsewhere? Opes Partners Resident Economist Ed Mcknight joins Tim Beveridge now for the One Roof Radio show.

The U.S. drinking water MCLs for PFAS remain in effect, but court challenges, proposed deadline extensions, and regulatory uncertainty have left public water systems in a difficult position. Taryn McKnight, VP and PFAS Practice Leader for Eurofins Environment Testing, breaks down the current state of PFAS regulation in the United States, including the legal battles over EPA's drinking water standards, the CERCLA hazardous substance designation, and why the proposed rollback of certain PFAS compounds may be less consequential than headlines suggest.Recorded at the Battelle Chlorinated Conference in Dallas-Fort Worth, McKnight and host Sean Grady examine why utilities are caught between monitoring requirements and investment decisions, how biosolids have emerged as a primary concern for state agencies, and what the UCMR5 occurrence data actually shows about which compounds warranted a national primary drinking water regulation. They also discuss the passive receiver problem under CERCLA, congressional efforts to address it, and why legislation has stalled year after year.The conversation also covers the growing public interest in biomonitoring, Eurofins' direct-to-consumer blood testing kits for PFAS exposure, the role of citizen science in building population-level data, and what it would take for microplastics to move from EPA's Contaminant Candidate List to a monitored contaminant under UCMR6.Learn more about Eurofins Environment Testing's PFAS services at eurofinsus.com/pfas.Visit Sean Grady at seankgrady.com to subscribe to the newsletter and support the show.#PFAS #DrinkingWaterRegulation #EnvironmentalPodcastCHAPTERS:0:00 Introduction and Conference Setting2:02 Status of PFAS Drinking Water Regulations4:10 EPA's Proposal to Extend the 2029 Compliance Deadline5:45 Safe Drinking Water Act No-Backsliding Provision7:10 UCMR5 Data and the Case for Rescinding Four Compounds9:20 Biosolids and Wastewater as State-Level Priorities11:05 State Responses to PFAS Regulation12:15 CERCLA Hazardous Substance Designation Challenges13:45 Passive Receivers and Congressional Action17:30 Sponsor Messages20:05 Biomonitoring and Public Awareness of PFAS21:40 Eurofins Blood Testing Kits and Citizen Science22:50 PFAS and the Evolution of Laboratory Testing26:10 Robert Bilott, Dark Waters, and Advocacy Impact30:45 Battelle Conference and What Comes Next31:20 Microplastics, CCL6, and the Path to UCMR634:20 Closing Thoughts and How to Reach EurofinsThanks to our Sponsors: Cascade Environmental, E-Tank, and WASTELINQ

My Kitchen Rules Abuse Scandal | Pauline Hanson Wants SBS Axed | Beetlejuice Musical Cancelled | Free TV Switch-Off Looms | Hot Podium Guy Strikes Again | Don Lane Show Throwback.Rob McKnight breaks down the week's biggest media stories on Media McKnight, from his garage on the Gold Coast. My Kitchen Rules contestant Anthony — found not guilty of historical sexual abuse charges — joined McKnight Tonight with daughter Paige for an exclusive interview, revealing how Channel 9 played up the celebrity angle on the way in but went quiet on the not guilty verdict. Pauline Hanson used her National Press Club address to call for SBS to be axed and the ABC defunded — Rob reacts. Beetlejuice the Musical has cancelled its Australian run after its final Brisbane show, reigniting the conversation around star power, stunt casting and the cost-of-living squeeze on live theatre — including the Nat Bass and Rob Mills casting backlash in Waitress. A UK proposal to switch off free-to-air TV signals as early as 2034 is flying under the radar amid Keir Starmer's resignation — and Rob asks what it means for Australia's anti-siphoning rules.

Rob McKnight, from his garage on the Gold Coast, covers the big media stories of the week on Media McKnight, episode 45. Robert Irwin has been named host of the 2026 Logie Awards, and the reaction in the comments has been overwhelmingly negative. Rob breaks down what the appointment might signal for Channel 7's longer-term plans — and what it could mean for Dr. Chris Brown. FIFA has introduced mandatory water breaks at the World Cup — and broadcasters are allowed to run commercials during them. Fans are furious, calling it a money grab. But Rob argues the real story is the financial reality facing free-to-air broadcasters competing for every ad dollar in a fractured media market. Plus, a spidercam fell 20 metres onto the pitch during a football friendly in Hungary — and the footage is terrifying. Reports are emerging that Kyle Sandilands and ARN could be close to a settlement in their Federal Court dispute. Rob makes a bold prediction on tape — and acknowledges there'll be no hiding if he's wrong. And in Rob's Rant: Doctor Who has been effectively canceled under Russell T. Davies, with the BBC Christmas special scrapped and the show put out to tender.

As the skilled nursing sector continues its march toward recovery, providers need a more comprehensive plan for long-term workforce and payment stability. That's why Michael Bassett, senior vice president of government relations for the American Health Care Association, wants an all-of-Congress approach that takes into account the ground-level realities nursing homes are facing as Americans get older and sicker. “If Congress doesn't look at this soon, because of a lag in training doctors and nurses and CNAs and LPNs, then this is going to be a real big problem in 10 years,” Bassett tells McKnight's Long-Term Care News Senior Editor Kimberly Marselas in this episode. “It's bigger than us,” he says. “The whole Congress needs to kind of have a new Marshall plan to get workers into these fields, or else … with 11,000 people each day turning 65 … we're not going to have enough people to care for them.” Bassett leads AHCA's work on Capitol Hill and earlier this month had nearly 700 helpers, as members, frontline staff and vendors met with elected officials to help illustrate providers' pain points. Workforce has recovered to near the sector's pre-pandemic baseline, allowing other issues to rise to the top of the skilled nursing wishlist. Most important, and maybe most possible this session, is Medicare Advantage reform. Listen to this episode recorded in Washington, DC, to learn three major MA areas Basset believes Congress could address to reduce friction between providers and private insurers, why bipartisan support for change is growing, and what it all means for post-acute and long-term care patients. Come for political insights and a little prognostication and stick around for insights on claims denials, Medicare's three-day stay requirement and CNA lockout legislation.

Achieving success in real estate isn't about predicting the future. While many investors have spent the last few years waiting for certainty, some of the best operators in the industry, including today's guests, have been quietly positioning themselves to acquire high-quality assets at significant discounts and prepare for the next market cycle.That's why I'm excited to welcome founding partners of RREAF Holdings, Kip Sowden and Doug McKnight.

First-home buyers appear to be making the most of the ongoing housing downturn. New Zealand's close to its longest downturn in prices in modern history – nearing five years. Auckland house prices are 22% below their peak, while Wellington's down 28%. Opes Partners economist Ed McKnight told Heather du Plessis-Allan it's playing in some buyers' favour. He says we've got the highest share of homes being bought by first-home buyers since records began in 2005. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The medical complexity driving significant change in skilled nursing care approaches doesn't stop at the door to therapy. With demand for speech-language pathology greater than ever, one North Carolina-based provider organization is looking to expand its therapists' knowledge and encourage the use of advanced staff training to help patients regain function. Michele Hass, regional therapy consultant for Principle LTC, recently became one of the first SLPs in the nation to earn a dysphagia certification from Accelerated Care Plus. The highly specialized credential focuses on swallowing disorders, aspiration prevention and patient safety — and Haas plans to use what she's learned to encourage others to use the techniques she picked up and pursue their own advanced credentials. ”These certifications, they're more than just a piece of paper,” Haas tells McKnight's Long-Term Care News in this episode. “I think they represent a commitment to patient care and staying engaged in the profession.” Principle wants to leverage Haas' interest in the ACP training — focused on advanced biofeedback technology— to enhance care capabilities across its regional footprint. It's just one way the operator of 38 facilities is responding to the clinical shift from compensatory care to modern rehabilitation, according to DeLaine Rice-White, Principle's senior vice president of therapy services. She emphasized that supporting advanced credentials can dramatically boost employee satisfaction and stabilize staffing levels, protecting facilities from the steep costs of turnover. Professional development, she added, is essential measure to protect against clinical stagnation. "If we don't do this, and we always do what we've always done, we'll always get what we always got,” she tells McKnight's Senior Editor Kimberly Marselas. “Our outcomes will not keep pace with the evolution of science and innovation if we go down that road." Listen to the full episode to learn more about ACP's approach to dysphagia care and why Principle views certifications and other training opportunities as critical investments for skilled nursing providers.

Interest rates have begun to creep back up. New Zealand's largest bank, ANZ, has increased its rates across the board, hiking everything by 20 basis points except the one-year rate, which only increased by 10. It's rates now start at 4.69% for its six-month “special” and go up to 6.49% for five-year terms. So how high will they go and what should you do? Ed McKnight joined Jack Tame to offer some advice.

Tonight, on The Panel, Wallace Chapman is joined by panellists Aimie Hines and Ed McKnight First up, a Budget 2026 debriefing this time looking at the politics of it all: is this an election winning budget? The panel is joined by political commentator Grant Duncan. Then, children with parents in prison are serving an invisible sentence. That's the stark callout from a organisation which provides support to some of the 25 thousand or so children in that category. They say that hardship starts from the moment a parent is sentenced - and they've come up with a plan to change that. The panel is joined by Corrina Thompson who leads youth advocacy at Pillars.

In part two, Dame Lynda Topp was fired up at the music awards and attacked the government's spend on the arts. The panel discusses the issues at play with Jesse Austin-Stewart, lecturer at Massey University in the School of Music and Screen Arts, also a composer and music producer. Then, does anyone remember the glory days of the workingmen's club? The cheap pints, the cover bands, the darts. In Hamilton, those days are being reignited with an evening of Pub Olympics. It's a round robin of pool, giant Jenga and more all designed to entice younger members back to the working man's club. The panel talks to Nathan Hartley, manager of the Hamilton Workingmen's Club.

The CareWorks Project provides technical expertise on issues such as workforce, caregiving, aging, and long-term services and supports financing. It also supports leaders around issues related to narrative change and strategic communications. And it helps design programs and initiatives related to long-term care, and assists with leadership and organizational development. While wages and benefits are a top need of direct care workers, they also need strong training programs that reflect today's competencies, along with honest career pathways, a wide range of workforce supports from transportation to child care, and respect, Espinoza said. Direct care workers remain largely invisible and society. There was a temporary moving of the needle during the COVID-19 pandemic, when there was a surge of appreciation for work that direct care workers do, but it did not lead to sound policy changes that materially improve their lives. If he had a magic wand, he'd create a long-term care financing system, along with the creation of policy and structural arrangements that allow people to age in place in their homes and communities. What concerns Espinoza most is the pervasive belief that care is a private burden as opposed to a public responsibility.

Ch 10 axes I'm A Celebrity | Angus Ross returns to 7 | Kyle & Jackie O staff sacked | Colbert's bizarre finale | Eurovision TV tech Rob McKnight, television and radio producer-presenter with over 30 years experience, brings you the week's biggest media industry stories from his garage on the Gold Coast. - Channel 10 confirms I'm a Celebrity axing — Rob broke it first - Angus Ross returns to Seven in expanded MD role - Kyle & Jackie O staff redundancies — Intern Pete speaks out - Stephen Colbert's Late Show finale and the $40M question - NBC reporter mocked for White House shooting reaction - Behind the scenes of Eurovision's world feed graphics system Channel 10 has confirmed the axing of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! — and Rob broke the story over a week before the official announcement. Despite other outlets calling it speculation, his trusted sources were right. Again. Angus Ross is back at Channel 7 — and in a bigger role. After being sacked in March following 27 years at the network, the popular programmer returns as Managing Director, Television and Streaming. Meanwhile, veteran commercial director Bruce McWilliam has quietly become Southern Cross Media's second-biggest shareholder, setting the cat among the pigeons after the 7/SCA merger. The fallout from the Kyle and Jackie O axing continues, with three more team members — including the show's censor — now made redundant. Rob's recent interview with Intern Pete gives an inside look at how the team is coping, with the Kyle/Jackie O legal action against ARN still playing out in court. Stephen Colbert's Late Show finale was, by Rob's assessment, a bizarre farewell. With Paramount citing $40 million in annual losses and speculation about Trump's influence, Rob examines whether the show's enormous overheads — including custom-made Armani suits for every appearance — contributed to its demise. And what does it mean for the future of late night TV? Plus: an NBC reporter gets mocked online for her measured reaction to gunshots at the White House — and Rob has something to say about that. And a fascinating look at the extraordinary broadcast technology behind Eurovision's global graphics sync.

Live TV Chaos, Channel 10's Regional Retreat, Karl & Eddie's New Show, Fair Dealing Explained + Logies Salute & Slap - Live TV chaos — Sky News UK and CBS News meltdowns dissected - Channel 10 dropped in three regional markets — WIN Network exits - Karl Stefanovic and Eddie McGuire launch The Long Weekend video podcast - Meta book piracy lawsuit — fair dealing law explained for Australian media - Salute & Slap — BAFTAs vs the Logies, and why the industry needs to back itself Rob McKnight, television and radio producer and presenter with over 30 years' experience, breaks down the biggest stories in Australian and international media from his garage on the Gold Coast. This week, live TV chaos strikes on two continents — Sky News UK gets tangled in its own wiring during a major political moment, while CBS News anchor Tony Dokoupil is stranded in Taiwan due to a visa issue as Trump meets Xi in Beijing, and a medical emergency unfolds live on air. Rob unpacks what went wrong and what the control room should have done. WIN Network has confirmed it will drop Channel 10 services in the Riverland, Mount Gambier and Griffith markets from June 30, following a similar exit from Mildura in 2024. Rob says this is just the beginning — and the numbers tell a grim story for Network 10's parent, Paramount. Karl Stefanovic and Eddie McGuire are teaming up for a new Friday night video podcast called The Long Weekend, broadcasting across the Gold Radio Network and streaming on iHeart, 9Now and Stan. Rob explains why this is a smart play, and why Jam TV deserves more credit than it gets. Five major publishers have alleged Mark Zuckerberg personally ordered Meta to pirate millions of books to train its AI system, Llama. Rob takes a deep dive into fair dealing under Australian law — what it covers, what it doesn't, and why Nine's use of a Daily Mail photo during the Bondi Beach shootings is actually legal, even if it feels wrong. Sam Pang won't be hosting the Logies this year. Rob salutes Australian production teams after watching the BAFTAs, and delivers a pointed slap to anyone at the Logies who uses the stage to talk the television industry down.

Thank you!EPISODE DESCRIPTIONIn 2023 he showed up to Whiskey Row ten hours behind the leaders, told his crew he was still going to win and set the course record, and then did exactly that. In 2025 he herniated a disc and watched Kilian Korth take his Triple Crown records from his couch. He described it as a whirlwind of emotions. He went to therapy, read about the mind-body connection, and concluded his back hurt because he was trying too hard to win. He came back and immediately won the Arizona Monster 300 and set the course record.In this episode of Flagstaff Bound, Kevin and Peter sit down with Mike McKnight — the Dark McKnight, the King of 200s, the man who is very uncomfortable being called the King of 200s — for one of the most honest conversations in the series. Mike talks about why Cocodona is the one race he hasn't figured out despite winning it, how his mantra of "decide, don't hope" played out in real time at the Arizona Monster when second place closed a three-mile gap on him in the Tucson heat, and why he's working to get to the start line with genuine confidence rather than just telling himself he has it.His chalkboard message at Mingus is "I want it that way." He is a Backstreet Boys fan. He is not embarrassed about this.Cocodona 250 kicks off Monday, May 4th at 5 AM Pacific. Follow the action live on the Mountain Outpost YouTube channel.

Mike McKnight is an ultramarathon athlete, coach, and former Triple Crown of 200s record holder. He is a trailblazer for 200+ mile trail events, and on a mission this year to win as many as possible. He recently won and set the course record at the Arizona 300 Mile, and has his sights on Cocodona 250, Tahoe 200, Hardrock 100, Bigfoot 200, and Moab 240 this year.  Mike: greatwesternadventures.com | IG: @mikejmcknight Episode Sponsors: ProBio: probionutrition.com/endurance Code: Endurance (20% Off) LMNT: drinkLMNT.com/HPO (free sample pack with purchase) deltaG: deltagketones.com Code: BITTER20 (20% Off) Wahoo KICKR Run: wahoofitness.com Code: OUTLIER (free HR monitor with purchase) Podcast Details: HPO Website: zachbitter.com/hpo  Zach's Coaching: zachbitter.com/coaching Zach's Journal: substack.com/@zachbitter Find Zach: zachbitter.com | IG: @zachbitter | X: @zbitter | FB: Zach Bitter | Strava: Zach Bitter   

What should nonprofits do when their communities are grieving, fearful, and demanding accountability?In moments of crisis, nonprofit leaders are often called upon to do more than deliver services. They must communicate with empathy, support their teams, stand alongside their communities, and decide whether, and how, to speak publicly about events that are unfolding in real time.In this episode of Nonprofit Nation, I'm joined by Jacques Hebert, communications director at the McKnight Foundation. We discuss how nonprofit organizations and foundations can respond when tragedy and tension impact the communities they serve.The conversation was inspired by a powerful public statement from McKnight Foundation president Tonya Allen following the tragic events in Minneapolis and the ongoing pain and fear felt by many residents across Minnesota. Her message called for dignity, accountability, and safety while acknowledging the deep grief and concern many community members are experiencing.Jacques shares insights into the role that communications leaders play during moments like this: when the stakes are high, emotions are raw, and communities are looking to trusted institutions for leadership.We explore how nonprofits can step up for their communities while also caring for their staff, navigating uncertainty, and communicating in ways that are responsible, values-driven, and grounded in empathy.Moments of crisis test our institutions, our leadership, and our values. This conversation explores how the nonprofit sector can respond with compassion, clarity, and courage.
