We sit down with two leaders reshaping philanthropy, Peter Bennett and Leslie Johnson. Philanthropy funds much of the world's high-risk innovation, early-stage ideas and new economic thinking - often long before markets or governments are able to act. So what role can it play in driving systemic change?

Success gets a lot quieter at the top and that's exactly the point. In this episode, I sit down with business strategist and seven-figure CEO Kelly Roach to break down why so many driven entrepreneurs stay stuck, burned out, or second guessing themselves long after they've “done everything right.” We talk about the perception gap that keeps people grinding when they're actually growing, why building wealth requires rewriting beliefs most of us inherited without questioning, and how chasing outside approval quietly derails confidence. Kelly also shares what really happens on the road to scale, how to stop letting noise dictate your decisions, and why the deepest work is often the most profitable. Get ready to build a life and business aligned with who you actually are. In This Episode You Will Learn Why the PERCEPTION GAP is sabotaging more businesses than bad strategy. How to stop letting OTHER PEOPLE'S OPINIONS run your decisions. Why “hard” doesn't mean you're doing it WRONG. The difference between PASSION and MARKET VIABILITY. How unresolved BELIEFS around money quietly cap your income. Why true growth requires slowing down and doing the INNER WORK. How to separate PHILANTHROPY from BUSINESS so both can thrive. Why highly successful people IGNORE NOISE and run their own race.

Eugenics and Philanthropy traces how elite philanthropy helped turn population control from an openly coercive ideology into a polished system of policy, metrics, and “care.” Beginning with early American eugenics, the episode follows the money and institutions that reframed social problems as biological ones and elevated experts to manage reproduction, poverty, and dependency from the top down. What once relied on laws and quotas evolved into benchmarks, grants, and administrative pressure, with accountability consistently pushed onto those closest to the harm.This investigation connects figures like Andrew Carnegie and the foundations he inspired to research centers, courts, and modern development pipelines. It examines how ideas about “fitness” were laundered through science, law, and later humanitarian language, migrating from heredity labs to health systems and development programs. Along the way, it exposes how narrative funding, litigation engines, and international bodies normalize outcomes while insulating architects from responsibility.Email: thefacthunter@mail.comWebsite: https://www.thefacthunter.comSubStack: https://substack.com/@thefacthunterShow Notes:Anti-Semites https://x.com/seethroughit2/status/2000612792794034370?s=20 Fake News Pro-Palestine https://x.com/bennyjohnson/status/2000587471667560664?s=20 Rabbi Kaploun https://x.com/Megatron_ron/status/2000624202202718649?s=20 Costs of War https://costsofwar.watson.brown.edu Google trends  https://x.com/RealFactHunter/status/2000647417708863831?s=20Carnegie 990: https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/131628151

In this episode of the Charity Charge Show, host Stephen Garten speaks with Marnie Webb, CEO of TechSoup, about one of the most influential infrastructure organizations in the nonprofit world. TechSoup has supported more than 1.4 million nonprofits, charities, and libraries across 234 countries and territories. It has delivered nearly 22 billion dollars in technology and financial resources to help mission driven organizations operate with confidence in an increasingly digital world.Most nonprofits do not have the budget, staff, or technical expertise to keep up with the rapid pace of technology. Yet they are expected to operate with the same level of digital strength that well funded companies enjoy. Marnie explains how TechSoup steps into this reality and why nonprofit technology support is far more than software discounts. It is about stability, trust, community strength, and clear pathways for organizations to adopt technology that actually fits their mission. ---------------------------About Charity ChargeCharity Charge is a financial technology company serving the nonprofit sector.

Mr. Beast Biography Flash a weekly Biography.Jimmy Donaldson, better known as MrBeast, has spent the past few days doing what he does best: blending spectacle, business strategy, and a carefully managed public image into one nonstop storyline. In his home state of North Carolina, local outlet Chapelboro reports that he is set to appear at the UNC men's basketball game against USC Upstate, where he will run a ten thousand dollar giveaway exclusively for students, with an in‑arena appearance at halftime and the giveaway taking place after the final buzzer. That kind of campus‑scale stunt is classic MrBeast: hyperlocal, highly photogenic, and guaranteed to generate social clips that will live far beyond one night in the Dean Smith Center.On the business front, the longer arc of his empire may be shifting in a profound way. TechCrunch reports that his new CEO at Beast Industries, Jeff Housenbold, has openly floated the idea of a future public offering, saying they want the roughly 1.4 billion unique viewers who watched MrBeast content in the last 90 days to have a chance to be owners of the company. That is not a formal IPO filing, but it is a clear, on‑the‑record signal that an eventual listing is on the table, and it would mark one of the first true creator‑led conglomerates to step onto public markets, with Feastables candy now described as the most profitable piece of the business.At the same time, MrBeast is leaning even harder into philanthropy as brand strategy. The 1 Billion Followers Summit has launched a global campaign called 1 Billion Acts of Kindness with MrBeast, in collaboration with his company, the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives, and the Varkey Foundation. Official terms show that creators worldwide are being asked to post videos of acts of kindness, tag MrBeast, and compete for a January 2026 trip with him to Ghana, where they will help build a village and appear in his content. That initiative, running right now, positions him not just as an entertainer but as a global organizer of influencer philanthropy.Overlaying all of this is the unresolved legal and reputational cloud: TechCrunch, citing prior reporting, notes the ongoing litigation over MrBeast Burger and the lawsuits from contestants on the first season of Beast Games alleging mistreatment and a toxic work environment. Those cases have not been resolved publicly, and any new filings or statements would be major news; for now, the most recent verified developments are the continuing suits and his guarded comments about having “learned” from running a 2,000‑person competition. Anything beyond that, including rumored settlements or internal policy changes, remains speculative and unconfirmed.There are also forward‑looking product headlines: fintech industry outlet The Paypers reports that MrBeast is working on a financial services platform and Beast Mobile, a phone company aimed squarely at his audience. Details are sparse, and there is no launch date yet, but if executed, those moves would push him from consumer packaged goods and shows into something closer to a lifestyle ecosystem, with payments, connectivity, and media all under one fan‑facing umbrella. Some social chatter has tried to connect those plans directly to IPO timing, but no credible outlet has reported any regulatory filings or dates, so talk of an imminent listing is, at this stage, pure speculation.Across social media, clips from his recent conversation on the attention economy with Jeff Housenbold have been circulating, showing him doubling down on a brutal work ethic, the idea that every day ending in “Y” is a workday, and a willingness to be “humbled” by more traditional hosts as he refines Beast Games. Coverage of Season 2 of that show, including a Survivor‑style twist highlighted by entertainment site The Knockturnal, frames him as increasingly comfortable stepping back and letting contestants drive the story, an evolution that could matter for his long‑term reputation as more than just the guy shouting over stunts.That is your rapid‑fire update on MrBeast's world this week.

Philanthropy plays a uniquely critical role in climate action—it can fund the bold, early-stage, community-led, and systems-changing work that markets and governments too often overlook. And with the federal government cutting funding to a wide range of climate, energy and conservation efforts, philanthropy plays a more important role than ever before.That's why we're teaming up with the Skyline Foundation and their Climate Lead, Shereen D'Souza on a series of conversations on climate philanthropy.Over the coming episodes, we'll explore how philanthropy can accelerate climate solutions—not just by moving more money, but by moving it differently and to high impact topics and geographies. We'll talk to leaders who are rethinking power, reimagining partnerships, and reshaping the way resources flow.Today, we're starting with a conversation that sets the tone for the entire series: trust-based philanthropy. What does it look like to fund climate work in ways that are long-term, rooted in real relationships, and prioritize the expertise of grantee organizations? How can funders shift from control to collaboration, and what happens when they do?Shereen and I are joined by Shaady Salehi, Executive Director of the Trust-Based Philanthropy Project. Shaady has been at the forefront of this movement, helping foundations transform their practices and support grantees with more transparency, humility, and flexibility. We talk about Shaady and Shereen's backgrounds in philanthropy, what trust-based philanthropy is and how it can help non-profit partners be more effective, why it's relevant to Skyline Foundation's approach and ways other donors can learn more.

With this realization, her life changed. How can I become a good relative? This inquiry guides Hilary’s work, including her writing, teaching, and reparative philanthropy. Divesting from settler colonialism and whiteness, she seeks to follow Indigenous and Black leadership in support of healing, mutual liberation, and equitable futures.

When people think about spinal cord injury rehabilitation, they usually picture learning to walk again, transferring safely from bed to chair, or figuring out how to dress and bathe independently.

The American Jewish philanthropic enterprise is unparalleled in scope, dynamism, and the diversity of funders and the causes they support. Yet even as Jewish giving has been largely successful in responding with alacrity to emergencies, it has been subjected to severe criticism. What once was regarded as a point of pride has become the object of scorn and dismissal, with skepticism--if not harsh criticism--about its work rife both within and outside Jewish communal circles. Based on 320 interviews with professionals at Jewish not-for-profits across the United States, principals of foundations and their top staff personnel, and also tax filings of major foundations, Jewish Giving: Philanthropy and the Shaping of American Jewish Life (NYU Press, 2025) provides readers with fresh perspectives to evaluate the efforts of Jewish donors, large and small. The book traces the evolution of Jewish giving from the colonial era to the present, charting the changing profile of those who give to Jewish causes and what funders have aimed to achieve through their largesse. It makes the case that philanthropy serves as a prism through which broader themes in communal life are illuminated. As society or politics change, the priorities of charitable giving adjust in response. These changes in targeted funding can help to sharpen our understanding of demographic and social patterns. Devoting much attention to twenty-first century developments in contemporary Jewish giving, the book pays special attention to the changing landscape of donors who are remaking Jewish philanthropy, including women, Orthodox Jews, Sephardi givers, and young funders.

"Please Be Kind": Life After 19 Days – Everyday Philanthropy, Second Chances, and Showing Up - Paul Meese 2 | Conversations with a Chiropractor What does life look like after the hospital, after the funeral, after the book? In this follow-up episode of Conversations with a Chiropractor, Dr. Stephanie Wautier reconnects with Paul Meese, author of 19 Days: One Man's Journey Through Grief, to talk about the next chapter: leaving his HR career, taking his family to Hawaii for Christmas, navigating the isolation of COVID, finding love again, and building a life that quietly runs on generosity. Paul shares how retirement wasn't an escape so much as a reckoning, why he chose a Christmas trip over trying to recreate old traditions, and how donating, decluttering, and "just helping where I can" turned into a pattern of everyday philanthropy. From supporting women's education and animal rescue, to stocking community resources and donating airline miles so families can say goodbye in person, he shows how small choices can carry big weight. If the first conversation was about surviving 19 days of crisis, this one is about what you build in the years that follow—and how "Please be kind" becomes a daily practice, not just a nice phrase.

Philanthropy has long been a champion of public radio, providing grants for everything from infrastructure and new buildings to special reporting projects. Recent federal cuts have made philanthropic support even more critical to keep public radio stations afloat: across the country, in rural and remote areas, and especially on Tribal lands. Sue Matters is the station manager at KWSO 91.9 FM, which is a non-commercial radio station that is licensed, owned and operated by the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs in Oregon. She shares her experience, spanning nearly 40 years, on the reservation's radio and what the station means to the culture and well-being of listeners.

In this episode, Jason discusses the three areas where upending the current status quo and making cheap alternatives would have the most benefit for the world. The Vegconomist website is here and the DZA website is here.

Mr. Beast Biography Flash a weekly Biography.In the last few days, Jimmy Donaldson, better known as Mr Beast, has quietly been in one of the most pivotal stretches of his career, with business, philanthropy, and long term strategy all converging into a more traditional mogul story than just a viral YouTuber arc. TechCrunch reports that his CEO Jeff Housenbold has openly floated the idea of eventually taking Beast Industries public so that fans could own a piece of the empire, a move that, if realized, would mark one of the first true creator born conglomerates heading toward an IPO scale future rather than just a channel or brand play. TechCrunch also notes that leaked financials reported by Bloomberg show Feastables as the most profitable arm of the operation, even outperforming both the flagship YouTube channel and the Amazon Prime game show Beast Games, underscoring how seriously Donaldson has pivoted into consumer products and studio level production. At the same time, the legal hangover from earlier hypergrowth continues; TechCrunch highlights the ongoing lawsuit with Virtual Dining Concepts over the now shuttered MrBeast Burger, and the separate suit from Beast Games contestants alleging mistreatment and a hostile environment on set. Those cases are still working their way through the system, and much of what is claimed remains unproven allegations rather than established fact, but they are the main shadow on an otherwise soaring public profile. On the philanthropic front, Fortune and an official announcement from the Rockefeller Foundation detail a new strategic partnership between Beast Philanthropy and the 112 year old institution, designed to blend Mr Beasts youth reach with Rockefeller data driven development work and planned travel to Ghana next year to study community led change together. That collaboration, alongside his role fronting the 1 Billion Acts of Kindness campaign with the 1 Billion Followers Summit and partners in Dubai, where creators can submit kindness videos through mid December to potentially join him on a Ghana village building trip, shows Donaldson deliberately anchoring his image in large scale, institutional philanthropy rather than one off stunts alone. Across his social feeds in recent days, he has continued teasing upcoming high budget videos and Beast Games related content rather than dropping any bombshell new controversies, with most coverage now dissecting his net worth, his multi billion dollar brand valuation, and what an eventual Beast Industries stock listing could mean. For now, the verified story is clear: Mr Beast is spending this week less as an impulsive viral creator and more as a carefully managed founder steering a media, food, and philanthropy empire toward Wall Street, global NGOs, and massive viewer driven charity campaigns.

Send us a textMost people donate because they want to help. Few ever find out what actually happens to their money. Philanthropy has a trust problem. Nonprofits have a transparency problem. Donors want clarity but rarely get it. And donor-advised funds have become a quiet holding place for billions of untapped charitable capital.After fifteen years working inside philanthropy, Sarah Angello could not ignore the friction anymore. She saw the outdated systems. She saw the lost potential. She saw how giving had become complicated when it should feel meaningful.So she left a stable career, stepped into tech, and cofounded Daffodil, a fintech platform designed to rebuild trust in the nonprofit sector by making charitable giving transparent, simple, and accessible.In this conversation, Sarah explains the gap no one was addressing, how donor-advised funds actually work, why impact reporting is broken, and how she is solving a systemic problem with zero-burden, real-time data. She opens up about raising capital as a woman, choosing cofounders, navigating risk, and the lesson that shaped her leadership: almost everything is fixable.If you have ever given to a nonprofit, wondered where your money went, or thought about starting something meaningful, this episode will change the way you see philanthropy and the business behind it.Chapters this episode explores:The moment Sarah realized philanthropy needed a complete resetWhy donor-advised funds hold more than 250 billion dollars that rarely reaches nonprofitsWhat the GoFundMe controversy revealed about trust in the sectorHow Daffodil built a system to deliver real-time impact reporting with zero burden on nonprofitsWhy transparency is the next frontier in charitable givingWhat she learned moving from nonprofit bureaucracy to tech speedHow she chose her cofounders and why their history mattersThe reality of raising money as a woman in a male-dominated funding environmentWhy she believes fear of being copied is fear of weak executionThe early mistake that taught her that almost everything is fixableKey lessons:Transparency is not optional; it is the foundation of impactGood ideas are everywhere; execution is the differentiatorDonors do not stop giving because they lack generosity but because they lack visibilityFounders should build in public, not hide in fearCareers are long, and mistakes rarely ruin themContactWebsite: www.getdaffodil.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/getdaffodil/ Email: sarah@getdaffodil.com--- Subscribe and ReviewIf you loved this episode, drop us a review, share it with a badass woman in your life, and subscribe to Badass Women in Business wherever you get your podcasts.

In this special episode of Money Mondays, we hit pause on “how to make and invest money” and go all-in on the third pillar: how to give it away. Dan records live from Tampa in the middle of the 12th annual World's Largest Toy Drive—a 10-city, 17-day marathon of giving that started 12 years ago with just eight volunteers wrapping toys on the floor. You'll hear how Trina's Kids Foundation grew from a small local effort into stadium-level events at places like BMO Stadium, Allegiant/Raiders Stadium, American Dream Mall, and the Miami Heat Arena, powered by semi-trucks of toys, strategic partners, and a relentless focus on efficiency and impact. Dan breaks down the real numbers behind the toy drive, how he negotiates with suppliers to stretch every dollar, and why he's obsessed with proving to major brands and billionaires that philanthropy can be run like a high-performance business. But this episode isn't just a highlight reel—it's a playbook. Dan walks you through exactly how you can:Host your own toy drive, food drive, or local fundraiser in your cityUse your business ecosystem—vendors, clients, employees, partners—to fuel charity workEliminate friction in donations (from PayPal and wire to Bitcoin)Turn volunteering into a core part of your family or company cultureUse social media the right way so your posts about giving create a massive butterfly effect instead of looking like a humblebrag You'll also hear the origin stories of campaigns like the $100 Tipping Club and “Two Years Too Long” clothing drive, and how simple ideas—shared publicly—have inspired thousands of people around the world to copy and scale them. If you've ever thought, “I want to do more, but I don't know where to start,” this episode will give you the mindset, the mechanics, and the motivation to launch something of your own—whether you have money to donate or just time, energy, and a phone.

In this episode, Guy Cave, President of the Legatum Foundation, discusses how the foundation launches and scales collaborative funds that focus on ambitious, system-level change. Rather than distributing small grants, the foundation pilots approaches with local organisations, tests what works, and—when the potential for large-scale impact is clear—spins out independent funds with their own leadership, governance and investor base. Guy traces the journey behind four existing funds: the END Fund, focused on neglected tropical diseases; the Freedom Fund, which addresses human trafficking and modern slavery; the Luminos Fund, bringing out-of-school children back into learning; and, most recently, the Resilio Fund, which supports community-led humanitarian response through micro-grants to hyper-local groups. Collectively, these funds have mobilised more than US$1 billion. He also introduces two current pilots that may become future funds: care reform to help children move safely from institutions into family-based care, and criminal justice reform. Throughout the conversation, Guy unpacks how new ideas emerge, how evidence is generated, how partners are brought in, and how to let go so that independent funds—and their CEOs—can thrive. For anyone interested in collaborative philanthropy, local leadership, or building vehicles that others can support, this episode offers practical insight into sequencing, partnership, and learning at scale.
