Ottawa food bank sees all time low in food donations amidst increased costs of living by ELMNT FM

Artificial intelligence has taken the world by storm.  Its ability to churn out research, generate reports, and create stunning images – all at lightning speed – has generated both excitement and deep anxiety.  The impact of AI has already been enormous and the nonprofit world is no exception.  With the sector notoriously slow when it comes to investing in technology, the question remains: Will nonprofits embrace these revolutionary new tools or be left in the dust of this whirlwind of change?  Meet Our Guests in Order of Appearance  Brendan Howe, CEO and Founder, Techify Alexandra Samuel, Technology Journalist and Author Meena Das, Founder, Namaste Data Beth Kanter, International Nonprofit Thought Leader and Author Jason Shim, Chief Digital Officer, Canadian Centre for Nonprofit Digital Resilience Dan Kershaw, Executive Director, Furniture Bank Charles Buchanan, CEO and Founder, Technology Helps This episode of Charity Village Connects is brought to you by the RISE Program.

I co-hosted the Code Conference last week, and today's episode is one of my favorite conversations from the show: Microsoft CTO and EVP of AI Kevin Scott. If you caught Kevin on Decoder a few months ago, you know that he and I love talking about technology together. I really appreciate that he thinks about the relationship between technology and culture as much as we do at The Verge, and it was great to add the energy from the live Code audience to that dynamic. Kevin and I talked about how things are going with Bing and Microsoft's AI efforts, as well the company's relationship with Nvidia and whether it's planning to develop its own AI chips. I also asked Kevin some pretty philosophical questions about AI: Why would you write a song or a book when AI is out there making custom content for other people? Well, it's because Kevin thinks the AI is still “terrible” at it for now, as Kevin found out firsthand. But he also thinks that creating is just what people do, and AI will help more people become more creative.

Stephanie Early Green returns to talk about Trackers, the 2019 South African "thriller" that Cinemax has imported. Unfortunately, the only place it led the EHG panel was Dullsville, despite big game, gun battles, and the apparent love child of Christian Bale and Randall Batinkoff...but we did talk about the "COVID programming trough" that's rapidly approaching for all TV fans. Later, we went Around The Dial with Love Life, Married At First Sight Australia, Please Like Me, 13 Reasons Why's final season, and Disney Gallery Colon The Mandalorian; then we wondered what themed episode titles would look like for series that don't already have them in David Ellis Dickerson's Extra Credit. Did Crazy Ex-Girlfriend sing successfully for its Canon supper? Who's smashing the Iron Throne on HBOMax, and what police (shows) got defunded?

Non-Profit Leadership is a calling and an opportunity to serve with passion for what matters most. This week on Inspiring Leaders, we learn about authentic leadership from the CEO of the Ottawa Mission, Peter Tilley. “If you are a CEO or COO and every morning is an exercise in drudgery, get out, take that leap of faith and have courage” Peter Tilley has served in remarkable roles for decades, including a management role at Quantum Management Services in the 1990s. But in 1994, joined the Ottawa Food Bank as a driver and worked his way up to become their Executive Director, overseeing all aspects of this non-profit that shipped out 8 million pounds of food with a budget of $4M per year, responsible for 25 staff and countless volunteers. “Passion is a defining feature of any great leader” Four years ago Peter began overseeing the Ottawa Mission, including more than 100 employees and a huge team of inspired volunteers. The Mission was founded over a hundred years ago by a group of Christian businessmen who wanted to help others facing difficult times, providing food, shelter and clothing. Today, the Mission is viewed as an important piece of the City’s social fabric. Along with providing shelter for 235 men on a nightly basis and serving 1,200 meals per day, The Mission provides a number of client services that enable men and women to cope with the challenges they face in their everyday lives. “Have that courage that in five years from now you’ll be looking back thinking I made the right choice” Over the past 15 years The Ottawa Mission has incorporated new programs, such as a Hospice, Addiction Treatment, Client Services Centre, Learning Centre and a Medical/Dental Clinic. “The Volunteers here keep me motivated!” LINKS: Peter on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/peter-tilley-b28b7947 Peter on Twitter: @peter_tilley Peter’s Email: ptilley@ottawamission.com The Ottawa Mission: https://ottawamission.com Donations to The Ottawa Mission: https://secure3.convio.net/omf/site/Donation2?idb=1011194527&1400.donation=form1&df_id=1400&mfc_pref=T&idb=0&s_locale=en_CA Leadercast: https://www.leadercast.com Ubiquity Leadership Coaching: www.UbiquityLeadership.com

On this episode I did a phone-in interview with Joe Roberts who is currently in Thunder Bay, running from Newfoundland to B.C. to raise intrigue about homelessness, especially youth homelessness. Joe himself has lived experience being street involved and homeless, but he turned his life around with help from family and a certain police officer. He went on to become an entrepreneur, author and public speaker. Now he's focused on the push for change.
