In this episode of the Fundraising Everywhere podcast, host Simon Scriver sits down with Georgia Aker, Head of Events at Spinal Research and Fundraising Everywhere member, to unpack one of the most impressive events fundraising growth stories we've heard. When Georgia joined Spinal Research post-COVID, the charity was bringing in around £100,000 annually from events. Fast forward to 2025, and they've raised £630,000—a 6x increase in just a few years. But here's the twist: they achieved this growth while losing over half their London Marathon places (from 170 down to 80) due to ballot changes. In this conversation, Georgia shares: - How they used "zero-risk" event partnerships to expand their portfolio without upfront costs - The game-changing impact of introducing first fundraising targets (which added £100K in year two alone) - Their approach to converting cold event participants into long-term supporters - Practical tips on Meta advertising, relationship building, and managing a lean events team - How they're making events more accessible across all budgets and fitness levels Want to dive deeper into events fundraising strategies?

Growing a premium home service brand is not just about better marketing. It is about trust, craftsmanship, and building real relationships. In this special Member Spotlight episode of The Better Than Rich Show, host Mike Abramowitz sits down with Brian Danque, owner of The Lighting Lizards in Cocoa, Florida, to unpack how a design-focused approach to outdoor lighting is helping him scale with confidence.  Brian shares how he went from running an electrical contracting business to building a standout landscape lighting brand rooted in artistry, emotion, and client experience. He explains what separates true luxury outdoor lighting from box lights and quick installs, and why intentional design and how you treat people from the very first phone call create fans, referrals, and long-term growth.  Timestamps  [00:00] Intro Mike welcomes Brian and sets the stage for a Member Spotlight [01:23] From electrical contracting to lighting as an art form [02:20] Why lighting work creates emotion, pride, and extended living space [04:07] What makes luxury lighting different than handyman installs [04:45] Credentials that build authority certifications, publishing, and licensing [05:25] Scaling challenge delivering high-touch experiences at every price point [10:10] Brian's best year yet and growth levers that drove momentum [10:33] Freeing time through Better Than Rich support and adopting stronger principles [12:36] Bottlenecks before BTR tech stress, slow execution, and admin overload [13:25] Polished systems mindset and how the team accelerated implementation [16:12] 2026 vision: more help, more design focus, more partnerships [18:34] Year-over-year growth: 70% increase [19:22] Reviews and referrals relationships, humility, and being a real human [33:59] Better Than Rich means time back to live a joyful life [34:56] How to contact The Lighting Lizards [36:22] Brian's $10,000 idea: offload what you are not good at to grow faster  Key Quotes “It allowed me to be somewhat of an artist and use my imagination a little bit more.” “We're thinking about it as an image, as a piece of artwork.” “The numbers don't lie, and we are growing at a lot faster pace than I ever thought.” “Just being kind and humble to people is really what can help generate tons of business.” “What it means to me is to have time back in my life to do the things that I like to do and want to do.”  Key Takeaways  ● Luxury lighting is design, not placement — The difference is artistry, intention, and how immersive the final experience feels. ● Client experience starts at the first phone call — Make people feel appreciated immediately and confirm you're a good fit. ● Credentials create brand authority — Licensing, certifications, and published work help buyers choose confidence over cheap installs. ● Treat every client like your biggest client — A $5K job still deserves care, intention, and respect. ● Rebranding is costly—but can unlock premium growth — Early failures are part of the process; strong anchors + consistency build momentum. ● Admin overload quietly limits growth — Offloading systems and tech work can free you to focus on what you do best. ● Relationships drive reviews and referrals — When clients feel a human connection, they naturally become promoters. ● Investing in yourself creates the “hustle effect” — Making the investment forces action—and often returns far more than it costs. ● Surround yourself with the right rooms — Events, certifications, and peer groups recharge motivation and expand what you believe is possible. ● Better Than Rich is time and joy — Success isn't just money—it's having time back for family, hobbies, and the life you want.  Links Mentioned  ● The Lighting Lizards website and contact form ● AOLP Association of Outdoor Lighting Professionals ● International Landscape Lighting Institute ● Ryan Lee Landscape Lighting Secrets ● Better Than Rich BTR

Key Topics Covered:  1. Starting Point: Mindset and MotivationTom's journey was sparked by personal catalysts: his mother's passing and a desire to be present for his young daughters.The importance of defining your “why” and setting clear financial milestones.Facing the reality of relying solely on a job for income—and using that as motivation for change.2. Laying the Foundations and Building PillarsTom and his wife began by securing wills, powers of attorney, and reviewing their finances to ensure a solid foundation (“the roof”).They chose property as their initial wealth-building pillar, focusing on buy-to-let for simplicity and sustainability.The process took time—over 12–18 months for their first deal—but commitment and clarity paid off.3. Momentum and the Power of RepetitionThe first property was the hardest, but each subsequent deal became easier as confidence and experience grew.Tom now owns 15 properties, primarily in the Bristol area, and has diversified into investments and other wealth pillars.Monthly recurring income from assets reached £6,000+, providing true freedom of choice.4. The Role of Coaching and CommunityTom credits his WealthBuilders coaches (especially Ian Halfpenny) for challenging his assumptions, providing guidance, and keeping him accountable.Support from family, coaches, and the WealthBuilders community was crucial—especially during setbacks like the pandemic.Taking massive action, even when uncomfortable, was key to overcoming obstacles and building momentum.5. Looking Ahead: Diversification and Giving BackWith financial independence achieved, Tom is now exploring more advanced property projects and investment strategies.He's passionate about sharing his experience and encouraging others to take consistent action—one step every month. Actionable Takeaways:Commit to the process and focus on one strategy until you gain traction.Secure your financial “roof” (wills, powers of attorney, expense review) before building assets.Don't underestimate the value of coaching, community, and accountability.Take one small action every month—compound progress leads to big results.Diversify your income streams once you've built a secure base.Don't DIY your wealth journey—get support and don't give up when it gets tough. Resources & Next Steps:Book a Financial GPS Call for a personal financial strategy session.WealthBuilders Membership: Free access to guides, webinars, and communityDownload our FREE Pensions and Inheritance Tax GuideConnect with Us:Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and all major platforms.Next Steps On Your WealthBuilding Journey:  Join the WealthBuilders Facebook CommunitySchedule a 1:1 call with one of our teamBecome a member of WealthBuildersIf you have been enjoying listening to WealthTalk - Please Leave Us A Review!

Send us a textWhat happens when a warfighter carrying anger toward God steps into a circle of men who refuse to let him stay stuck? Stephen Morris' story is raw, honest, and quietly hopeful—a road from combat and cynicism to brotherhood, prayer, and real accountability that actually changes a man. We start with a simple lens—Luke 6:40—then move straight into the hard stuff: the weight of watching friends die, the questions that won't go away, and the stubborn belief that God exists even when your heart is at war with Him.Reclaiming the Wild is back — April 24–26 at Abundant Blessings Farm (Stem, NC).

Episode Overview What happens when you stop trying to "figure it out on your own" — and finally get support? In this episode, Liz joins Annie and Jen to share her two-year journey inside Balance365, including losing over 40 pounds, building strength through heavy lifting, and learning how to navigate hunger, fullness, and disappointment without dieting. Liz opens up about what actually moved the needle for her: internal cues, mindset shifts, coaching accountability, and learning how to sit with discomfort instead of chasing quick fixes. This conversation is especially powerful for women who believe they already "know what to do" — but struggle to implement it consistently. Liz's story shows what's possible when skills, support, and patience come together.

In this episode we're joined by Gary Farnes, one of our original community members.  Gary has been with us from the start, and we've also been there for him on the start of his journey too.  From starting running by joining a Need for Speed course, Gary's marathon journey began with the London Marathon and running it virtually in the miserable wet and cold day in 2020.  Gary went on to run all 6 majors, represent GB in duathlon and complete Ironman Hamnburg in the middle of this all as well. He completed his 6 star journey only last month at New York marathon and we caught up with him to chat about how he's feeling it's all over and what's next after this wonderful adventure.  Also, if we didn't already mention Gary is 63 and with a marathon PB of 3:17, it goes to show that with the right people around you, the right training plan and structure and the right determination, planning and passion - anything is possible!!    We have one final episode of the year coming out next week.

Some days business feels really good… and other days it feels like you're carrying your whole world on your shoulders. Client work, kids, school notes, invoices, laundry piles, and somewhere in there you're meant to be “the CEO” too. You might be thinking about hiring or bringing in more support, but the idea of managing people, setting expectations, and “being a leader” can feel pretty heavy. If that's where you're at, this conversation with Ash will help you feel seen and a little more supported in what you're carrying.

You know those seasons in business where everything feels fine… until suddenly it really isn't? One day you're getting things done, the next you're staring at your laptop thinking, “Wow, my brain has officially checked out.” We've all been there, holding everything together, pushing through tiredness, promising ourselves we'll take a break “after this one thing.” You're allowed to pause before it gets heavy. Support is allowed. Slowing down is allowed. And you're definitely not the only one figuring this out as you go. In this episode, Adrienne Donnelly chats with Jessica Conner, Founder and Strategic Director of Jessica Conner Consulting.

Today, she runs a thriving VA + OBM agency built around one core mission: helping business owners create space to breathe again. It's an honest, grounded conversation with plenty of moments you'll recognise in your own journey. You'll hear about:

What does it really take for your teenager to trust you with everything? Are you creating a home where your wife feels truly safe to open up? Could a father-son conversation reveal the surprising answers? Today I'm bringing you something truly special: a replay of one of the most meaningful live Q&A sessions I've ever recorded. This one goes way back to 2023, and I had my oldest son, Ethan, who was just 17 at the time (he's 19 now) join me, along with 35 awesome guys from The Dad Edge Alliance. What made this conversation so powerful is that it was completely unscripted. Real questions, raw answers, and packed with the kind of gold you can only get from honest, open dialogue. Even though it was a live stream with our members, the themes we dove into are just as crucial today. In this episode, you'll hear us tackle some major challenges that I know resonate with so many of you: Connecting with Your Wife When She's Emotionally Distant: Real strategies for bridging that gap. Creating Psychological Safety in Conversations: How to foster an environment where true communication can thrive. Navigating Discipline Without Losing Connection with Your Kids: Ethan even chimes in with his perspective on this one! The Power of the Experience Cube: We explore this incredible conflict resolution tool (originally taught by ClearLeadership.com) that's a game-changer for tough conversations with your wife, kids, and even at work. But what truly blew me away during this Q&A was hearing, in his own words, what builds trust between Ethan and me. And spoiler alert: it's not about being the perfect dad. It's about something much more real: showing up, owning your mistakes, and spending genuine time together. I'm not going to lie, you might even hear a little emotion in my voice when Ethan starts talking about this–it really hit home the importance of creating that safe space where our kids feel they can tell us anything. So, whether you're a dad wanting to lead your family better, a husband striving for deeper connection, or just a man wanting to improve your relationships, this episode is packed with hard-earned wisdom. Sit back, relax, and get ready for some real talk that still rings true today.

Are you pulling your hair out trying to motivate your kids? Do chores feel like a constant battle in your house? Is homework a never-ending saga of lollygagging and procrastination for you too? If so, then this episode of The Dad Edge is definitely for you. I'm revisiting one of our most popular Q&A sessions because it's packed with the kind of crowdsourced wisdom that can really help us crack the code on kid motivation.

I wanted to bring this one back because I'm getting ready to launch my fifth book, Pursuit of Legendary Fatherhood. It's been a journey getting this book out, and some of the core ideas I've been exploring were definitely in the air during this original Q&A. And hey, if your marriage could use a boost too, check out: www.thedadedge.com/extraordinary-marriage In this deep dive into real-life parenting strategies, you and I, along with the guys from The Dad Edge Alliance, explore: Creating Connection Through Ownership and Structure: Practical ways to foster responsibility in your kids. Modeling Responsibility and Emotional Intelligence: How your own actions speak volumes at home. Gamifying Contributions and Chores: Making tasks engaging and less of a battle. The Balance Between Incentives and Expectations: Finding the right approach to motivation. Proactive Communication and Family Agreements: Eliminating power struggles before they begin. Later in the session, the conversation shifts to the bedrock of the family: Emotional Connection and Marriage: The vital role of intentional communication. Small Shifts, Big Impact: How subtle changes in posture can build psychological safety in your most important relationships. While some specific examples regarding children's ages or routines might be from the past, the core principles and actionable takeaways shared in this Q&A remain incredibly valuable for fathers navigating the daily challenges of raising motivated and responsible kids, and building a strong family foundation.
