Episode 4159 │ Date June 26, 2026 Paine wrote from collapse. Washington drilled in frozen mud. The Son Tay raiders rescued no one — and saved everyone. Nine men. One pattern. Vincit. WHAT THIS EPISODE COVERS Time to introduce Vincit — BardsFM's new short-form daily series built on a single doctrinal standard: Vincit qui patitur, he conquers who endures. Scott Kesterson walks through nine stories, nine moments where endurance was the only weapon that mattered — Thomas Paine writing Common Sense from personal collapse, Washington drilling a dissolving army in frozen mud at Valley Forge, Lewis and Clark holding an impossible expedition together through sheer refusal to quit, Theodore Roosevelt disappearing into the Dakota Badlands after losing his wife and mother on the same day and coming back, Alvin York wrestling his faith into action and capturing 132 prisoners with squirrel-hunting marksmanship, the First Marine Division holding Henderson Field at Guadalcanal on captured Japanese rice, Patton winning the battle as a ghost before he ever was allowed to return the field, fifty-six Special Forces operators flying into the most defended airspace in history at Son Tay to rescue POWs who weren't there — and saving them anyway — and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. still walking toward something with a damaged voice and a target on his name. One pattern runs through all nine: endurance is not the absence of suffering, it is what suffering forges when you refuse to leave the field. KEY QUESTIONS ADDRESSED What is the doctrine of Vincit qui patitur — and why does the pattern of endurance run identically through a Revolutionary pamphleteer, a frozen Continental Army, a failed POW rescue mission, and a man with a neurological voice condition still walking toward something? What is the difference between news and pattern recognition, between reaction and discernment — and why does Vincit operate at that intersection rather than the breaking news cycle? What did the Son Tay Raiders — who rescued no one — actually accomplish, and why did the POWs in the Hanoi Hilton later testify it was the turning point in their psychological survival?

In this episode, we turn our attention to the final months of the war in Europe and one of the Allied armies' most famous and controversial commanders, General George S. Patton. At the start of 1945, Patton's Third Army was fighting on Germany's western frontier in the aftermath of the Battle of the Bulge. Having played a crucial role in relieving the besieged town of Bastogne, Patton now faced the challenge of maintaining the Allied advance through difficult winter conditions as the Western Allies prepared for the final offensive into the heart of the Third Reich. Joining me is Kevin Hymel to discuss Patton during these decisive months of the war. Kevin is the author of Patton's War: An American General's Combat Leadership, the concluding volume of his acclaimed three part biography of Patton. Drawing on Patton's wartime diaries, personal correspondence, and extensive archival research, the book offers fresh insights into the general's leadership, character, and conduct of operations during the closing stages of the conflict. Kevin is also the co host of the excellent podcast World War 2 Live alongside historian John McManus, which is well worth a listen for anyone interested in the Second World War. Together, we explore Patton's role in the Allied advance into Germany, his relationship with senior commanders, the challenges faced by Third Army, and how his actions in 1945 shaped both his wartime reputation and enduring legacy.
In this conversation, Zach sits down with Author Patton Dodd to discuss his new book The Father You Get: And the Ones You Make, Believe In, and Become.

Along the way, they discuss faith, masculinity, forgiveness, doubt, presence, and the courage it takes to face the stories that have shaped us.Whether Father's Day brings celebration, grief, gratitude, or questions, this conversation offers a thoughtful invitation to better understand our fathers, ourselves, and the people we're becoming.Thank you for joining the conversation and embodying the life and beauty of the gospel.

The 82nd anniversary of the D-Day Landings took place recently and our host, Mike Slater, is taking the time to reflect on that historic World War II milestone with a review of some of the words from the American General George S. Patton and how they can instruct modern Americans on winning in today's world. Following that opener, Slater has a more contemporary chat with U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) about the inner-workings of Trump 2.0 in 2026 and what real patriots can expect to go down in the upcoming months!

Benjamin L. Carp explains how the British specifically targeted three rebel captains—Amos Fellows, Abraham Patton, and Abraham Van Dyk—suspecting them of arson. Patton, a member of Washington's spy network, allegedly confessed on the gallows, stating he died for liberty and had accomplices in the burning of New York. Washingtonnotably supported these men and their families, acknowledging their service. He famously remarked that "Providence" or an "honest fellow" had achieved the strategic goal of destroying the city, a task the Continental Army could not officially undertake due to orders from the civilian government in Congress.

Du bereitest dich auf ein schwieriges Gespräch vor. Fakten gesammelt, Beispiele parat, ruhig bleiben geübt. Und trotzdem geht es schief. Du sagst „Der Termin wurde nicht eingehalten" und dein Mitarbeiter hört „Du hältst mich für unfähig". In dieser Folge erkläre ich dir, warum das passiert, und was du dagegen tun kannst. Nach der Harvard-Methode laufen schwierige Gespräche immer auf drei Ebenen gleichzeitig ab. Wer nur eine davon sieht, scheitert. Ich gehe alle drei mit dir durch, mit Beispielen aus meinen eigenen 37 Jahren Führungserfahrung, inklusive dem Moment, in dem ich als CEO alle aus einem Meeting geschmissen habe, weil meine Identität getriggert wurde. In dieser Folge erfährst du: Warum du in neun von zehn Gesprächen auf der Interpretationsebene startest und dabei glaubst, du bist bei den Fakten. Warum 80 Prozent aller Führungskräfte an der zweiten Ebene scheitern, weil ein einziger Glaubenssatz in ihren Köpfen sitzt wie Kaugummi unter einem Schultisch. Was die Identitätsebene ist, warum sie nie laut ausgesprochen wird, und warum ein einziger falscher Satz dein Gespräch sofort tötet. Wie du alle drei Ebenen vorher durchgehst, damit dein nächstes schwieriges Gespräch da ankommt, wo es ankommen soll.

** VIDEO EN NUESTRO CANAL DE YOUTUBE **** https://youtube.com/live/Nx-a1odwDbo +++++ Hazte con nuestras camisetas en https://www.bhmshop.app +++++ ¿Sabías que George S. Patton, el mítico general de los tanques, fue hasta finales de los años 30 un apasionado defensor de la caballería a caballo? Diseñó su propio sable modelo 1913, escribió en la Cavalry Journal defendiendo que “si el caballero medieval se adaptó a la pólvora, nosotros podemos adaptarnos al motor”… y sin embargo, nunca fue un converso inmediato a los blindados. En este nuevo programa de Bellumartis Historia Militar, el historiador Fernando del Castillo, autor de "Patton: Soldado en dos guerras mundiales" nos desmonta con rigor y fuentes primarias la cara menos conocida del “Blood and Guts”: su profunda nostalgia por el caballo, sus dudas reales sobre la mecanización total y cómo la campaña de África del Norte (especialmente la batalla de El Guettar) supuso su punto de no retorno. Desde West Point y su experiencia con tanques en la Gran Guerra, pasando por los debates del Ejército estadounidense entre tradición y modernidad, hasta el desierto tunecino donde sus Sherman demostraron que la verdadera caballería del siglo XX era blindada. En este episodio descubrirás: Por qué Patton volvió a la caballería después de mandar tanques en 1918 Sus artículos de los años 30: entre el escepticismo y la visión de futuro La llegada a África tras el desastre de Kasserine: disciplina, audacia y el bautismo de fuego blindado El Guettar: la primera gran victoria americana contra los Panzers alemanes Cómo el espíritu del jinete audaz se trasladó al interior de un tanque Análisis objetivo, sin mitos hollywoodenses, con el rigor histórico que nos caracteriza. Porque entender cómo Patton vivió esa transición tecnológica nos ayuda a comprender mejor los conflictos actuales: movilidad, adaptación y audacia siguen siendo decisivas. Si te gusta la historia militar contada con honestidad, dale like, comenta y activa la campanita. ¿Crees que Patton habría preferido seguir cargando con sable si la tecnología lo hubiera permitido? ¿O el cambio era inevitable?

In Part 2 of our Merkers Mine mini-series, the secret is out. On April 8, 1945, General George S. Patton learns that his advancing Third Army has stumbled upon the captured gold reserves of the Third Reich. But Patton being Patton, his first instinct isn't to hand it over to the bureaucrats. He orders a strict press blackout, surrounds the mine with tanks, and pitches audacious, off-the-books ideas to his superiors: minting the 250 tons of gold into medallions for his soldiers, or hiding it away to create a secret, self-sustaining financial endowment for his army to bypass congressional appropriations. It is a fascinating, chilling glimpse into how massive, untraceable wealth was viewed by military leaders at the time. But the geopolitical stakes are simply too high, as the Merkers area is slated to fall under Soviet control after the war. Supreme Allied Headquarters dispatches financial expert Colonel Bernard Bernstein to take control of the discovery and move it immediately. On April 12, history is made as Generals Eisenhower, Bradley, and Patton descend 2,000 feet down a pitch-black mine shaft in a rickety elevator. Behind a blasted steel and brick door in Room No. 8, they come face-to-face with the unimaginably vast treasure. Most devastatingly, they open the suitcases of the SS "Melmer" deliveries, discovering wedding bands, watches, and gold dental fillings systematically ripped from the victims of the Holocaust. The staggering scale of the plunder is matched only by the horrors witnessed later that same afternoon. Just hours after standing amidst the greatest concentration of stolen wealth in human history, the generals travel to Ohrdruf, the first Nazi concentration camp liberated by American forces. The horrific juxtaposition of the Third Reich's hoarded treasure and the emaciated corpses of its victims leaves Eisenhower deeply shaken and Patton physically sick. Listen in as we detail this extraordinary day in history, culminating in the frantic, massive logistical operation—Task Force Whitney—launched by the U.S. military to move the treasure out of the darkness and into the American zone.
371: Stop Scaling, Start Listening: Building Nonprofits That Actually Work (jacob adams) Episode SummaryToo many nonprofits have become experts at performing impact - hitting metrics, writing polished reports, scaling programs - without ever stopping to ask whether they're actually changing the lives of the people they serve. In this episode, Patton sits down with jacob adams, Founder and Executive Director of Inner Spark Learning Lab in Los Angeles, to explore what it looks like when a nonprofit is genuinely built around the community it exists to serve. jacob traces his journey from Teach For America to founding STEM to the Future in 2017 to rebranding as Inner Spark Learning Lab, a shift that happened when he realized STEM was never really the point. He introduces the Human Learning Systems framework and walks through Inner Spark's Listen→Try→Reflect→Adapt→Share cycle: a living approach to program design that treats service work as ongoing experiment rather than fixed delivery. He talks candidly about what real community listening looks like in practice, what it costs to stop a program that isn't working, and why he shares the messy middle publicly - even when funders want a more polished story. Leaders who feel the tension between accountability and authenticity will find both challenge and permission in this conversation.About jacobjacob adams is the Founder and Executive Director of Inner Spark Learning Lab, a community-centered education nonprofit based in Los Angeles, California. jacob launched the organization in 2017 as STEM to the Future before rebranding to reflect a deeper commitment to what actually drives young people's growth: curiosity, relationships, and genuine responsiveness to what communities say they need. His work is grounded in the Human Learning Systems framework, and he is known in the sector for practicing — and publicly modeling — the kind of reflective, adaptive leadership he believes the nonprofit sector urgently needs more of. Before founding Inner Spark, jacob served with Teach For America, an experience that shaped his conviction that proximity to community is not a program feature but a leadership discipline.ResourcesConnect with jacob on LinkedInLearn more about Inner Spark Learning LabHuman Learning Systems (created by Toby Lowe) humanlearning.systems How We See Us: Young People Imagining a Path to Their Futures by Michaela Leslie-RuleEnvisioning Real Utopias by Erik Olin WrightFollow Your Path to Nonprofit Leadership, and please leave a review!Learn more about the leadership resources at Armstrong McGuire — ArmstrongMcGuire.com
In this guest-hosted episode of the Derek Hunter Podcast, columnist Dean Karayanis — New York Sun columnist and longtime member of Rush Limbaugh's “highly overrated staff” — dives into a wide-ranging, culturally sharp monologue exploring how modern society has cheapened life, diluted powerful historical lessons, and substituted serious political discourse with empty media crosstalk. Dean reacts to the Democratic Nazi candidate for Senate in Maine, Graham Platner, smearing Senator Collins (who voted to convict President Trump in his second impeachment trial) “set me to die” in Iraq, contrasting it with General George S. Patton's authentic, uncompromising World War II ethos. He explores how the cinematic portrayal of Patton by George C. Scott has shaped our collective memory of war, and how Hollywood narratives have warped our understanding of historical conflicts like Vietnam. Turning a critical eye toward the media landscape, Dean dissects the tragic passing of hockey legend Claude Lemieux, using it to launch a stark, data-driven critique of Canada's controversial MAID (Medical Assistance in Dying) program. Drawing from his own professional background in veterinary medicine, he explains the profound psychological toll that ending life takes on the human brain and warns against a culture that treats human existence as a mere "clump of cells." Finally, Dean analyzes the upcoming Texas Senate race involving James Talarico, the pitfalls of Republicans relying on cheap mockery instead of serious policy persuasion, and the return of The Washington Star. He wraps up the hour with a refreshing media contrast: Michael Keaton's viral, purely entertaining commencement speech at Kent State, proving that public figures can still choose to uplift an audience rather than make everything about themselves in service of left-wing politics.
Johnny Mac delivers Daily Comedy News, praising Tom Segura's Bad Thoughts Season 2 and noting Segura's Joe Rogan Experience discussion about the perceived decline of Los Angeles and people being either realistic or delusional about it. Nikki Glaser jokes she won't be invited to Taylor Swift's wedding, while The Star claims she's networking for a potential Jennifer Aniston movie connection and cites Variety saying Glaser will write and star in an edgy romantic comedy. Patton Oswalt comments on Bill Maher trying to placate Trump and argues defying Trump is the only approach. A Rick and Morty movie is in early development, with Dan Harmon describing it as a big-budget 90-minute adventure.

370: How to Stop Losing Half of Your Recurring Donors (Dave Raley)Episode SummaryIf your organization celebrates a 42% recurring donor retention rate (the national average), you may be focusing on the wrong number - because the real story is the 58% you're losing every year. In this follow-up to Episode #301, Patton welcomes back Dave Raley, Founder and CEO of The Center for Sustainable Giving in Poulsbo, Washington, for a deeper dive into sustainable giving. Dave unpacks the two distinct faces of donor churn - involuntary (failed credit cards) and voluntary (donors who choose to leave) - and explains why treating them the same way is one of the most expensive mistakes a nonprofit can make. He introduces a practical three-part retention model - Affirm, Engage, Appeal - and makes the case that the middle step is where most organizations quietly lose the relationship. He also shares the data behind upgrade campaigns, including what a 25% average gift lift looks like in practice and when in the donor lifecycle to run one. Whether your organization is flying blind on churn or ready to move from knowing to doing, this episode delivers clear, immediate steps you can take this quarter.About DaveDave Raley is the Founder and CEO of The Center for Sustainable Giving, based in Poulsbo, Washington, where he helps nonprofit leaders build recurring giving programs that retain donors and grow long-term revenue. With a background spanning nonprofit fundraising strategy, technology, and the subscription economy, Dave has become one of the sector's leading voices on donor retention, passive churn, and the structural shifts required to move organizations from transactional to relational fundraising. He is also the author of The Wave Report, a research publication tracking trends in sustainable giving, and was previously the founder of Imago Consulting.

Join the Veterans Breakfast Club for a special Memorial Day virtual event on Monday, May 25, 2026, at 7:00pm ET. This live, online conversation invites veterans, families, and friends to gather in an open, heartfelt space to honor and remember those who have fallen in service to our nation. The event will take place on Zoom and will also be streamed live to Facebook and YouTube. Join us on Zoom here: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/6402618738 We especially welcome the family of Capt. William Boyd Graves, a Wyoming soldier killed in Vietnam whose voice has unexpectedly returned nearly 50 years later. After decades of silence, Graves' family recently discovered a series of audio tapes he recorded during the Vietnam War—an extraordinary time capsule of humor, fear, longing, and daily life from a young American officer serving far from home. The discovery became the subject of a widely read article, “Voice From Vietnam: Nearly 50 Years After Wyoming Man Died, Family Discovers Tapes.” Joining us live will be Graves' sister Linda Fabian and other members of the Graves family, who will share memories of William, reflect on hearing his voice again after all these years, and discuss what the tapes have meant to their family. During the program, we will also play selections from the recordings themselves, allowing audiences to hear Capt. Graves in his own words. This special Memorial Day conversation is about remembrance, family, loss, and the enduring humanity behind military service. It's also a rare opportunity to encounter the Vietnam War not through history books, but through the preserved voice of one man who lived it. The Veterans Breakfast Club creates communities of listening where veterans, families, historians, and the public come together to share stories and preserve personal history. Our programs are informal, conversational, and open to all. #MemorialDay #VietnamWar #Veterans #WilliamBoydGraves #VietnamVeteran #MilitaryHistory #POWMIA #VeteransStories #OralHistory #USArmy #Vietnam #MemorialDay2026 #VeteransBreakfastClub Often remembered as the calm, steady “GI's General” of World War II, General Omar Bradley commanded more American soldiers in combat than any other officer in U.S. history. Yet compared to Eisenhower, Patton, and MacArthur, Bradley remains a surprisingly enigmatic figure. Was he the humble soldiers' general of popular memory? A cautious strategist? A political insider? Or something more complicated? Join Greatest Generation LIVE for a fascinating conversation with military historian Dr. David W. Hogan, Jr., former Director of Histories at the U.S. Army Center of Military History and one of the nation's leading experts on Bradley. Hogan has spent decades researching the U.S. Army in World War II and is currently completing a major biography of Bradley, Omar Nelson Bradley: The GI's General. Drawing on years of archival research, Hogan will explore Bradley's rise from small-town Missouri to the highest ranks of the American military, his relationships with Eisenhower and Patton, his command during Normandy and the Battle of the Bulge, and his postwar role as the nation's first Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff during the early Cold War. This program will examine not only Bradley the general, but Bradley the man — modest, disciplined, intensely loyal, and still debated by historians today. #OmarBradley #WWII #GreatestGeneration #MilitaryHistory #WorldWarII #Dday #BattleOfTheBulge #USArmy #Veterans #History #Patton #Eisenhower #KoreanWar #VBC #VeteransBreakfastClub

HOUR 1 Disney's Star Wars universe takes another hit as Andy Peth breaks down The Mandalorian and Grogu — and why one strong opening couldn't save the rest of the movie.

Comedian and actor Patton Oswalt joins host Ben Mankiewicz for a live taping of Talking Pictures recorded at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel on the eve of the 2026 TCM Classic Film Festival. An obsessive movie fan, Patton sees hundreds of films a year; he hates talkers in theaters but loves when going to a movie turns into a bonding experience with strangers. From his acting career, he tells stories of being suspended in a tree on the set of “Magnolia” and doing a sex scene with Charlize Theron in “Young Adult.” In the Super 8, Oswalt shares films you'll want to remember and see the first chance you get.

369: No Money, No Mission: Rethinking How Nonprofits Are Built to Survive (Ryan Dewey Smith) Episode SummaryMost nonprofits don't fail because their mission stops mattering - they fail because the structure holding that mission together was never built to last. In this episode, Patton sits down with Ryan Dewey Smith, Founding Executive Chairman & CEO of Inperium, Inc., based in Reading, Pennsylvania, to explore the structural fault lines quietly threatening even well-intentioned organizations. Ryan draws on more than a decade of building Inperium's constellation model - a networked alternative to traditional mergers that preserves local autonomy while delivering shared back-office infrastructure, access to capital, and best-in-class talent - to explain why so many nonprofits wait too long to raise their hand, and what it costs the people they serve when they do. From navigating board resistance and staff fear during affiliation to the discipline of leading from strength rather than desperation, Ryan brings a practitioner's candor to the structural questions most leaders quietly avoid. Listeners will walk away with a sharper understanding of the early warning signs of organizational vulnerability, and a concrete alternative to going it alone.About RyanRyan Dewey Smith is the Founding Executive Chairman & CEO of Inperium, Inc., a national nonprofit parent company headquartered in Reading, Pennsylvania, that provides shared back-office infrastructure, access to capital, and operational support to a constellation of 34 behavioral health and human services organizations operating across 20 states. Ryan founded Inperium after spending more than two decades as CEO of his own nonprofit serving individuals with intellectual disabilities - an experience that exposed firsthand the structural fragility most mission-driven organizations quietly carry. His forthcoming book, Sustaining the Mission, to be published by Forbes in September 2026, chronicles Inperium's journey and offers a roadmap for nonprofits seeking lasting resilience without sacrificing the autonomy that makes their work meaningful.ResourcesConnect with Ryan on LinkedInLearn more about Inperium, Inc.: inperium.orgVisit Ryan's website: ryandeweysmith.comSustaining the Mission by Ryan Dewey Smith — forthcoming from Forbes, September 22, 2026Nonviolent Communication by Marshall B.

368: Before You Merge: Five Factors Every Nonprofit Leader Must Weigh (Staci Barfield)Episode SummaryFor too many nonprofit leaders, the word “merger” lands like a verdict, a sign something has gone wrong. Staci Barfield, Senior Director of Consulting Excellence at Armstrong McGuire in Cary, NC, argues the opposite: a merger belongs early on a leader's strategic menu, not at the end. Drawing on her work facilitating the Arise Collective and MATCH (Mothers and Their Children) merger, Staci walks Patton through the full continuum of collaboration and unpacks the five factors every leader should weigh: mission alignment and strategic rationale, organizational and cultural fit, governance and leadership readiness, financial health and due diligence, and capacity to manage change while continuing to serve. She makes the case that funders are increasingly convening these conversations and that the strategic exercise itself has value even when it doesn't end in a merger. Listeners walk away with a practical framework for assessing any form of collaboration, and a sharper read on when a merger isn't a retreat but a way to magnify mission.About StaciStaci Barfield is Senior Director of Consulting Excellence at Armstrong McGuire, where she leads the methodologies, tools, and resources that equip the firm's advisor team to deliver consistent, high-impact client work. She came to the philanthropic sector after a long corporate career in information technology and business process improvement at Gap, Inc., Andersen Consulting (now Accenture), Sprint, AT&T, and Springs Industries. The pivot was catalyzed when a Hurricane Katrina deployment with the American Red Cross showed her that her business skill set translated directly to mission-driven work. From there she went on to serve as Vice President of Development for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Eastern NC Chapter, Executive Director of National Students of AMF, and CEO of Children's Flight of Hope, before joining Armstrong McGuire. Across all of it, Staci has been driven by the same instinct: maximizing an organization's opportunities for success through both strategic and operational initiatives.ResourcesConnect with Staci on LinkedInCase study referenced in the episode: Arise Collective + MATCH (Mothers and Their Children)Shared services model referenced in the episode: Ascend Nonprofit Solutions (Charlotte, NC)Companion episode: #350 with Andre Anthony: What Every Nonprofit Leader Needs to Know About MergersStaci's book recommendation: I Never Thought of It That Way: How to Have Fearlessly Curious Conversations in Dangerously Divided Times by Mónica GuzmánFollow Your Path to Nonprofit Leadership and please leave a review!Learn more about Staci's work and leadership resources at Armstrong McGuire (ArmstrongMcGuire.com)

In his book, “The Father You Get: And the Ones You Make, Believe In, and Become,” Patton Dodd shares his realizations about the father he had, relates his struggles with the one he wishes he had and finds his purpose in becoming the best one he can possibly be.
In this episode of The Nonprofit Exchange, I had the pleasure of speaking with Patton Dodd, an author and communications leader, about the profound impact of storytelling in our personal lives and communities. We explored how storytelling goes beyond mere communication tactics; it shapes our identities and influences our understanding of ourselves and the world around us. Patton shared insights from his role as the Executive Director of Storytelling and Communications at the H.D. Black Foundation in San Antonio, where he uses storytelling as a strategic tool to address issues like poverty and economic segregation. He emphasized that everyone is a storyteller, whether through spoken words, writing, or even internal narratives. We discussed common mistakes leaders make when telling stories, such as rushing to the conclusion without building tension and failing to engage in the process of curiosity and listening. Patton highlighted the importance of gathering diverse voices and perspectives to enrich our narratives, as well as the need for vulnerability in leadership to foster trust and openness. Additionally, we touched on Patton's memoir, "The Father You Get and The Ones You Make, Believe In, and Become," which delves into his personal journey of fatherhood and the complexities of familial relationships. He also introduced his initiative, Know Your Neighbor, which aims to bridge divides in San Antonio through shared storytelling experiences. As we wrapped up, I encouraged our listeners to reflect on their own stories and consider how they might re-narrate them for a more compassionate future. This conversation was a rich exploration of how stories can connect us, challenge our perceptions, and ultimately drive social change.

367: Activate Good - Leading with Fearlessness and Purpose (Marjorie Maas)Episode SummaryNonprofit leaders carry the weight of the next grant, the next major gift, the next board meeting - and that constant worry doesn't make the work more productive, it just makes it heavier. In Episode #367, Patton talks with Marjorie Maas, CEO of Share Good, based in Omaha, NE, about what it actually looks like to lead with fearlessness when stakes are high and resources are tight. Marjorie leads a national technology and community-building nonprofit that helps cities position generosity in one place - now active in nine markets from Charlotte to Detroit to Omaha and beyond - and she shares the mindset shifts that have shaped both her organization's growth and her own “patchwork quilt” career path. She unpacks the difference between scarcity thinking and an abundance mindset rooted in logical thinking rather than blind faith, why emerging leaders shouldn't talk themselves out of their passion, and why governance fluency is something professionals should be building early — not waiting for an executive seat to learn. Listeners will walk away with a practical framework for leading through uncertainty, language for coaching the next generation of nonprofit professionals, and a clearer sense of how to keep moving forward when fear shows up.About MarjorieMarjorie Maas is the CEO of Share Good, a national technology and community-building nonprofit that connects passion to action in hyperlocal communities by giving nonprofits a shared megaphone to tell donors and volunteers what they need. She leads the growth and expansion of Share Good's national footprint and supports the SHARE Family of community partners across the country. Before joining Share Good in December 2022, Marjorie launched and directed SHARE Omaha, building a platform that promotes more than 700 nonprofits across the Greater Omaha and Council Bluffs metro, and earlier created and implemented the corporate social responsibility strategy for Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Nebraska, redesigning their corporate giving and volunteerism programs. Her 20-plus-year career spans arts marketing, statewide grantmaking, and CSR — a winding path she calls a “patchwork quilt” and credits as the very thing that prepared her for the work she does now.ResourcesConnect with Marjorie on LinkedInLearn more about Share Good at ShareGoodUSA.org — visit the About Us page for community case studies and video testimonialsConcept referenced: Ikigai — the Japanese framework for the overlap of mission, vocation, profession, and passionBook recommendation: The Dip by Seth Godin — a quick, essential read on knowing when to push through a setback and when to walk awayAlso mentioned: Mindset by Carol Dweck (Patton's reference on growth vs. fixed mindset)Follow Your Path to Nonprofit Leadership — and please leave a review!Learn more about the leadership resources at Armstrong McGuire — ArmstrongMcGuire.com

Dr. Carla Stumpf-Patton on Suicide Prevention, Grief, and Hope In this episode of Oscar Mike Radio, I speak with Dr. Carla Stumpf-Patton, Vice President of Suicide Prevention at Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS). Dr. Stumpf-Patton shares her deeply personal story of losing her husband, a Marine Corps veteran, to suicide and how that experience shaped her mission to support military families affected by suicide loss. Our conversation explores the stigma that still surrounds suicide and mental health within both military and civilian communities. We talk about why connection, compassion, and honest conversations are critical to preventing isolation and helping people feel seen during their darkest moments. Dr. Stumpf-Patton also explains the comprehensive support services TAPS provides for surviving families, veterans, and loved ones navigating grief and trauma. From peer-based support to postvention care, TAPS continues to be a lifeline for those searching for healing after unimaginable loss. One of the most powerful themes of this episode is the idea that healing does not mean forgetting. It means learning how to carry loss while continuing to move forward with purpose, support, and community. This conversation is emotional, honest, and ultimately hopeful. If you or someone you know has been impacted by military suicide, this episode serves as a reminder that no one must walk through grief alone. Learn more about TAPS and available support resources at https://www.taps.org/ Dr. Stumpf-Patton, thank you for sharing your story and for the work you continue to do for military families everywhere.

366: Stop Writing for Your Organization. Write for Your Donor. (Tom Ahern)Episode SummaryMost nonprofit communications are, in Tom Ahern's blunt assessment, built to fail. Not because the work isn't worthy, but because organizations keep writing about themselves when they should be writing for the donor. In episode #366, Patton sits down with Tom Ahern, founder of Ahern Communications, Inc. and one of the most influential voices in fundraising copywriting, to unpack why so many appeals, newsletters, and annual reports fall flat. Drawing on decades of commercial copywriting experience before he “wandered into” the nonprofit sector, Tom walks listeners through the three questions every case for support must answer (Why us? Why now? Why you, the donor?) and explains why urgency without desperation, emotion over information, and a relentless focus on the reader are the difference between a gift and a pass. He shares a remarkable story of a Boys & Girls Club that owned a million-dollar crisis and came back stronger, makes the case that donors are already 99% of the way there, and offers a clear-eyed take on what AI can and cannot do for fundraising writers. Listeners will leave with a practical framework they can apply to their next appeal this week, a sharper understanding of donor psychology, and permission to stop trying to inform their way to a gift.About TomTom Ahern is the founder of Ahern Communications, Inc. and one of the leading voices in donor communications and fundraising copywriting. His clients have ranged from Save the Children US and Catholic Relief Services to the Animal Rescue League of Boston, Boston Children's Hospital, the Anchorage Museum, and universities including Princeton, Carleton, and the University of Saskatchewan. He came to the nonprofit sector after fifteen years as a commercial copywriter, led, as he puts it, by an angel: his wife Simone, a longtime development professional and consultant. Since then he has coached fundraisers on best practices in appeals, newsletters, and cases for support, led communications audits (he prefers to call them “autopsies”), and trained nonprofit teams on four continents. Tom is the author of eight how-to books on donor communications, each rated 4.5 stars or higher on Amazon, and a sought-after faculty member for masterclasses and webinars. These days he volunteers most of his coaching hours for small and mid-sized charities, and still keeps Jerry Weissman's book on his desk, the spine sun-bleached from daily use.ResourcesConnect with Tom on LinkedInLearn more at Ahern CommunicationsTom's case-for-support framework: Why us?

Mike and Trey Farley introduce and interview Armen from Southern California's Arto Brick, a family business founded in the 1960s by Armen's father after emigrating from Egypt. Armen explains how the company began with handmade clay thin-brick veneer sold on a milk route, grew from installation into full-time manufacturing, and expanded staff significantly. He discusses working through family-business conflicts, Arto Brick's “rustic elegance” look and how trends affect demand, and the value of handmade products and factory tours. Armen outlines current offerings—handcrafted concrete and low-absorption clay tiles for walls/floors indoors and outdoors, trims/coping, custom colors/shapes, and curated stone/porcelain—plus installation and maintenance issues like sealing, expansion joints, and hot-weather setting, with notes on saltwater pool impacts. He also shares favorites (movie Patton, books Gates of Fire and How the Mighty Fall) and travel interests.

There's been more than a few movies surrounding a character down on their luck trying to punch, kick, jab, grapple, or all of the above, their way to success or back to success. Think “Rocky”, “Million Dollar Baby”, “Warrior”, etc. In 2026 we get a new entry into that movie genre, “Beast”, that revolves around MMA fighting. Oscar winner Russell Crowe plays Sammy, a MMA trainer and Daniel McPherson plays Patton James, a former MMA champion, who Sammy once trained. Patton had it all right in front of him after becoming champion and in one instant he threw it all away. Now years later, retired as a fighter and nearly broke, Patton's younger brother is trying to be a MMA champion and is brutalized in a fight by another fighter, Xavier Grau, who Patton knocked out years ago. This draws Patton, and his wife and daughter, into a web of danger with Xavier, Xavier's promoter and some local thugs. Will Patton be able to fight his way out of this one? Will Sammy help him after Patton betrayed him? Is it worth going to the theater to find out? Watch this episode of Movies Merica to find out! “Beast” also stars Luke Hemsworth, Bren Foster, Kelly Gale, Mojean Aria, George Burgess, Nathan Phillips, Sol Nc Carrico, Saphira Moran and Amy Shark.

For the epic Season 7 finale of We Think It's Funny, Daniel Lobell and Mark Schiff sit down with the legendary Patton Oswalt for a conversation that is as profound as it is hilarious. While the trio dives into the legacy of Ratatouille and the craft of comedy, the heart of the episode lies in Patton's candid reflections on the complexities of life; from the joys of fatherhood and finding new love to the raw, transformative process of grieving and moving forward after loss.
