Finding Happy by Peter Samuelson is a hybrid of memoir and self-help book, offering young adults practical wisdom drawn from the author's own remarkable journey as a film producer and philanthropist. Samuelson, who founded several major charities such as the Starlight Children's Foundation and EDAR, emphasizes that happinessstems not from fame or wealth but from creating purpose, helping others, and taking charge of one's own life.  The book is structured around more than 50 short, story-driven chapters that blend personal anecdotes with actionable advice and reflection prompts. From navigating the chaos of show business to mentoring foster youth, Samuelson shares lessons onempathy, leadership, resilience, and community.  Stories such as “The Girl Who Froze” illustrate the power of unconditional support, love and peer solidarity, while his reflections on failure, luck, and taking risks highlight the value of persistence and humility.Samuelson also teaches readers how to plan their futures through tools like spidergraphs, how to use storytelling to create empathy, and how to develop courage inthe face of fear. He calls on readers to fight tribalism, care for democracy, and leave a legacy by uplifting others.  In his words, real happiness comes from being of use to the world—and from daring to live a life of meaning, love, and service.Peter Samuelson ! Website – www.samuelson.LALinkedIn — https://www.linkedin.com/in/petersamuelson/Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/petergsamuelson/Ted Talk -- https://www.ted.com/talks/peter_samuelson_everyone_deserves_a_roofAnne Zuckerman!

A child is drowning in a pond. You're wearing an expensive suit. Do you jump in and save them? Of course you do. But philosopher Peter Singer asks the uncomfortable follow-up: If you'll ruin a $300 suit to save that child, why won't you donate that same $300 to save a child dying from malaria in Africa?Welcome to The Business of Giving. I'm Denver Frederick. Today we're exploring one of the most challenging moral arguments of our time with Peter Singer, whose simple thought experiment has fundamentally changed how we think about our obligations to strangers.Singer's philosophy forces us to confront an uncomfortable truth: if helping distant strangers is moral obligation, not charity, then most of us might be living fundamentally unethical lives.Peter reveals the Oxford moment that transformed him from graduate student to moral revolutionary, explains how effective altruism survived its biggest scandal, and shares why he believes thinking people can literally change the world.Get ready for a conversation that might just change how you see your own moral choices. This is Peter Singer on The Business of Giving.

Steve Forbes looks to the historical example of "X"—the pseudonym of George F. Kennan, who advanced the policy of containment that helped serve as a North Star for U.S. foreign policy for decades—to argue that we now need a new guiding principle to take us safely through our present confused, dangerous times.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this week's episode, both of our storytellers are pushed out of their comfort zones—and challenged to see the world through someone else's eyes.Part 1: As someone who always likes to play it safe, psychologist Kenneth Carter sets out to understand what makes thrill-seekers tick.

The psychology of thrill-seeking is the current focus of Dr. Carter's research. He has delivered TEDx talk on thrill-seekers and is the host of Mind of a Motorhead an NBC Sports web series that examines the personalities of motorsport athletes. His most recent book is Buzz!: Inside the Minds of Thrill-Seekers, Daredevils, and Adrenaline Junkies (Cambridge University Press).

Carol Weisman founded Board Builders, an international consultant firm focused on fundraising, philanthropy, and governance in 1994. She is the author of 11 books and is writing her 12th.  In 2020, her husband Frank Robbins was diagnosed with Lewy body dementia, Parkinson's disease, and spinal stenosis. Carol had to take a pause on her consultancy and speaking business to care for him.   Frank, sadly passed away in January of 2025. Carol is now returning to international work, grateful for the time she spent with Frank.  In Life After Loss, she speaks candidly about connecting with the world once again and how life is looking since losing Frank. “I started grieving the day that he was diagnosed. Because there was no medication. I knew there was no hope.  This was such a downward spiral, Frank died a little bit every day.”  Carol's endearing recollection brings her realistic vibe to a very painful experience.   As a listener, you are guaranteed a smile as well as a tear. “Following a loss, the biggest problem is loneliness especially if you were connected to a lot of people because of your spouse or your work.”  says Carol.  Carol has started internet dating, describing dating at 76 as really "bizarre”.  She ends encouragingly. “You recover at that point, it's a process. It's not an event. You don't all of a sudden wake up, go to a, some kind of meeting and you're okay.  Every death is different, every journey of healing, recovery, and repair is different.   You have got to find the pathway that works for you.”

In this episode, I speak with Gul Rukh Rahman, a woman whose life and work cross continents, cultures, and the fault lines of global politics.Born in Pakistan and raised in countries including Libya and Saudi Arabia, Gul moved to the US for university before settling in Europe 15 years ago. She grew up in conservative Peshawar in the protective bubble of a military family, yet in a region marked by instability and violence, including bomb blasts during Eid celebrations. Family expectations came with tightly controlled choices for education and relationships, leading Gul to go on a hunger strike to avoid dentistry school.Culturally hard to categorise and politically impossible to intimidate, Gul reflects on identity as a woman and a Muslim in the aftermath of 9/11, her decision to wear the hijab as a political statement, and the circumstances that prompted her to take it off. She chose activism over the safety of a corporate career, driven by a commitment to speak uncomfortable truths.Now teaching at the University of Geneva, Gul works far beyond the classroom, advising philanthropists and nonprofits, investigating where the money really goes, and exposing the darker side of “doing good.” We dive into silent philanthropy, the geopolitics shaping global giving, and how vast wealth from the Global South still flows into bank accounts in Switzerland and Dubai while the South continues to “beg” the North.This conversation blends biography, political critique, and a fearless look at philanthropy's contradictions. Gul doesn't pull her punches: and that's exactly why you should listen.Connect with Gul on LinkedIn at linkedin.com/in/gul-rukh-rahman-1b74604.Instagram: @at.the.coalfaceAnd don't forget to subscribe to At the Coalface for new episodes every two weeks.Help us produce more episodes by becoming a supporter.

Challenging the outdated assumptions about who gives and how in fundraising, research has found that women are not only more generous than men, but they also give differently, diversely, and collaboratively. In this week's episode, we break down the myths and misconceptions about women donors and examine the importance of relationship-building, storytelling, and recognition. Women seem to redefine philanthropy from giving across various causes to wanting deeper engagement beyond just writing a check.  Jacqueline Ackerman is the interim director of the Women's Philanthropy Institute at Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy. The institute believes that gender matters in philanthropy and that perspective, leadership, and generosity are required from women and men in solving the world's complex problems. After joining the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy in 2012, she has grown her career supporting and leading research on various aspects of charitable giving. Jackie enjoys developing relationships and using her knowledge and experience to deliver research with real-world applications. She brings a deep expertise in women donors, gendered giving trends, and the evolving role of women in nonprofit leadership. She joined us today to talk about how to shift your strategies, build authentic relationships, and tap into the real power of women's generosity.  In this episode, you will be able to: - Discover the myths and misconceptions about working with women donors. - Learn about the importance of relationship-based philanthropy. - Learn about the seven Ts of philanthropy. - Discover why it's important to keep a continuous communication with the donors.  Get all the resources from today's episode here.  Support for this show is brought to you by iDonate!  Their donor-first giving suite, including mobile pop-ups, A/B testing, recurring prompts, makes it easy to convert more donors, faster.

In this episode of The First Day from The Fundraising School, host Bill Stanczykiewicz, Ed.D., sits down with Muhsin Hassan, Managing Director at Lever for Change, to unpack the power, and practicality, of nonprofit collaboration. Drawing from his role advising the Community Collaboration Initiative led by the Muslim Philanthropy Initiative at the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, Hassan explains why partnerships aren't just nice-to-have, they're mission multipliers. From maximizing impact during economic downturns to sparking innovation across issue areas, collaboration can create better ideas, stronger fundraising, and more efficient service delivery. Hassan shares how the initiative brought together 21 Muslim-led nonprofits from across the U.S., ranging from local to national reach, to explore shared solutions. The three-year effort wasn't donor-driven from the top down, but intentionally designed to listen to community needs and prioritize equity among partners. Common threads emerged between seemingly different missions: healthcare access, education, civic engagement, and refugee support leading to big-picture strategies like “one-stop shop” service models for new Americans. And yes, there was a built-in incentive: each participating organization received a $250,000 grant to implement their collaborative plans. The conversation digs into what makes collaborations work: intentional design, time to build trust, and intermediaries who handle logistics so nonprofits can focus on the work. The CCI team acted as that connective tissue, setting agendas, facilitating conversations, and ensuring equity between grantees and donors. This created space for candid dialogue, something that doesn't always happen in traditional philanthropy, and fostered genuine partnerships rather than compliance-driven alliances. Challenges? Of course. Some organizations realized the timing wasn't right and bowed out gracefully, underscoring the need for flexibility and openness to think beyond one's own program lane. Hassan closes with advice for any nonprofit, regardless of cause area or cultural context; there are always lessons to learn from others. Whether you share a target population or simply share the nonprofit experience, collaboration offers unexpected insights and fresh approaches. Skeptics often leave such partnerships with new allies, new knowledge, and stronger strategies. The key is creating opportunities for cross-sector dialogue, maintaining equity among all players, and giving collaborations the time, and resources, to thrive. The full white paper, Collaboration in the U.S. Muslim Nonprofit Sector: Lessons from the Community Collaboration Initiative, is available at the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy's Muslim Philanthropy Initiative page.

Marcy Syms became the youngest female president of a publicly traded New York Stock Exchange company when she was named to the position with her family's business in 1983. At its peak, the Syms chain of off-price, brand-name fashion stores operated 46 outlets across 16 states, generating annual sales approaching $350 million. The chain's slogan — coined by founder Sy Syms, Marcy's father — was iconic: “An educated consumer is our best customer.” While Syms was not the very first off-price fashion retailer when it opened its original store in 1959, Sy and Marcy Syms went on to define the sector and dominate it until — faced with increased competition and a soft economy — Syms filed for bankruptcy and closed its doors in 2011 after more than 50 years. Marcy shares her compelling story and the story of Syms Corporation in a new book, set for release on August 26th. The book is titled Leading with Respect: Adventures of an Off-Price Fashion Pioneer. “Respect,” as she explains on this week's podcast, is the key trait — often misunderstood — of effective leadership. Marcy is a former member of the board at Midlantic Bank and Rite Aid. She is president of the Sy Syms Foundation, which continues her family's philanthropic legacy supporting charitable, educational, and cultural organizations, including the Sy Syms School of Business at Yeshiva University. The foundation has awarded over $60 million to worthy organizations. Monday Morning Radio is hosted by the father-son duo of Dean and Maxwell Rotbart.

Brady Robinson is a lifelong climber, conservationist, and educator who currently serves as Director of Philanthropy for the Freyja Foundation. His career has spanned outdoor education, nonprofit leadership, and global conservation philanthropy, with past roles including Executive Director of both the Access Fund and the Conservation Alliance. These days, his work focuses on supporting high-impact land and water conservation efforts across South America, with a particular emphasis on Chilean Patagonia. Brady and I go way back—he was my NOLS instructor in the fall of 1999, on a course that involved big mountains, a few navigational hiccups, and some life-long leadership lessons. That semester planted the seeds for much of what I've done professionally and personally—including starting this podcast—and Brady's been a friend and mentor for going on 26 years. He was also one of the very first guests on this podcast in 2016, back when I had only one microphone and really didn't know how to work it. When Brady and I last spoke on the podcast, he was leading the Access Fund, and a lot has happened since then. In this conversation, we catch up on his career and dig into everything he's working on now. We start out discussing our NOLS experience, Brady's leadership in forming the Outdoor Alliance (alongside recent podcast guest Adam Cramer), his work on passing major climbing legislation, and the lessons he's learned about collaboration, trust, and long-game thinking. We spend the second half of the conversation digging into his current work in Patagonia's Cochamó Valley—a spectacular and at-risk landscape in southern Chile that Brady and his colleagues are working to protect through an ambitious multi-partner campaign. It's a story of nimble, grassroots conservation work, smart philanthropy, and what's possible when people align around a shared purpose. If you've enjoyed my conversations with Kris Tompkins or Adam Cramer, then I know you'll enjoy this one as well. Big thanks to Brady for his decades of support and mentorship—and another big thanks to you for listening.

Instead, with the mindset instilled in him by his mother that “no one defines what you can and can't do, but you,” he went on to become a National Collegiate Champion rower, earning Gold and Silver medals at the Olympic Festival, and a Navy SEAL who was top of his class.Alden's personal successes.As Alden achieved personal successes, he repeatedly grew into leadership positions.

He has since founded and served on multiple companies' boards in retail hard goods, consumable products, and service-based businesses.Unstoppable LeadershipAlong the way, Alden cultivated a methodology that develops people into congruent and authentic leaders who successfully build teams and create cultures that are unstoppable regardless of the situation, industry, or environment.Today Alden Mills is known as one of the leading business thinkers in America and spends his time helping others learn and implement the three levels of Unstoppable Leadership.
