In this episode of All About Capital Campaigns, Amy Eisenstein welcomes nonprofit leader, coach, and advocate Joan Garry for an inspiring conversation about how development directors and nonprofit executives can maintain optimism, motivate their teams, and rethink what fundraising success looks like in challenging times.Joan Garry is an internationally recognized champion for the nonprofit sector, an executive coach for top nonprofit leaders, founder of the Nonprofit Leadership Lab, and host of her own podcast and blog. With decades of experience across nearly every role in nonprofit leadership, she brings both practical strategies and heartfelt encouragement to the discussion.Together, Amy and Joan explore how nonprofit professionals can reframe fundraising from a stressful numbers game into an opportunity for donors to feel connected, valued, and part of meaningful impact.They discuss:Why development directors often struggle with discouragement when revenue sources shiftHow focusing solely on total dollars raised can create a harmful and unrealistic definition of successAlternative metrics to measure fundraising effectiveness, including donor retention rates, board engagement, and stewardship practicesThe importance of innovation and creativity in fundraising, with real-world examples of organizations trying bold approaches to meet urgent needsHow leaders can support staff through professional development, peer learning, and community support to build confidence and resilienceThe role of board members in donor stewardship and why even simple gestures from board leaders can significantly strengthen relationshipsPractical steps for reconnecting with the mission, “touching the work,” and finding inspiration that replenishes energy for fundraisers and leaders alikeListeners will hear stories ranging from a climate change think tank tapping into untapped expertise in Washington, to LGBTQ advocacy groups addressing urgent needs through imaginative funding models, to a legal nonprofit rethinking the concept of a capital campaign by focusing on “human capital.” These examples highlight what is possible when leaders are willing to experiment and redefine what success looks like.Joan also shares advice on how nonprofit executives can manage fear, support their fundraising staff, and avoid the trap of holding onto poor performance because of the myth that strong development professionals are scarce. She emphasizes the importance of professional development and investment in fundraisers, noting that providing learning opportunities is a powerful way to strengthen skills and morale.Amy and Joan both highlight the value of peer communities—whether through Capital Campaign Pro's weekly mastermind groups or the Nonprofit Leadership Lab's global membership network—where nonprofit leaders can share challenges, celebrate wins, and draw inspiration from one another.Whether you are an executive director, development officer, or board member, this conversation will help you see fundraising in a new light. By focusing on relationships, creativity, and inspiration, nonprofit leaders can foster resilience and optimism in their organizations even when external challenges feel overwhelming.For more free capital campaign resources, visit https://capitalcampaignpro.com/campaign-resources.

Happy Mindset Monday!When negativity shows up, most of us think the answer is to “just stay positive.” But what if that isn't the whole truth?This week on Living The Sweet Life, I sat down with Jaclyn Fortier from North Carolina to unpack what really works when you're facing negativity, stress, or doubt. Jaclyn's perspective is refreshingly real—because sometimes life isn't about “looking on the bright side,” it's about finding intentional ways to reframe, process, and move forward.

What if the very thing holding your business back isn't strategy or followers—but the fear of being seen? In this episode of the Gloria Chou PR Podcast, I sit down with Stacey Brass-Russell—Broadway performer turned transformational business coach and host of Passionate & Prosperous. With a career spanning show business, yoga, and entrepreneurship, Stacey has mastered the art of showing up unapologetically and teaching others how to do the same.We dig into what it really takes to sell without feeling salesy, why confidence is a muscle you can build, and how to stop worrying about what everyone else thinks. If you've ever hesitated to press “send” on that pitch, this conversation is your permission slip to shine.How Do You Sell Without Feeling “Salesy”?Stacey breaks down the difference between bro-marketer tactics and authentic selling. Instead of cold DMs and pushy tactics, she shares how to build real relationships and show up in service of your audience—so selling feels natural, not cringe.What If You're Afraid of Rejection?Rejection isn't just part of the game—it's proof you're actually playing. Stacey explains why she encourages her clients to collect rejections as a measure of progress and why your job isn't to convince everyone, but to find the right ones.The One Habit That Builds Confidence in BusinessConfidence doesn't just show up. Stacey reveals the daily mindset practices—affirmations, reframing, and radical permission—that fuel resilience and visibility.Personal Outreach: The Most Overlooked Sales StrategyForget obsessing over Instagram. Stacey makes the case for direct, human connection as the #1 activity that moves the needle in your business.Why Nobody's Thinking About You (and That's a Good Thing)One of Stacey's most freeing insights: people aren't scrutinizing your every move. In fact, most of the time, they're not thinking about you at all. That's why volume and consistency in outreach, pitching, and posting matter more than perfection.✅ Final Takeaway: You don't need to master every marketing hack or wait for the perfect pitch. What you need is:A daily practice that builds confidence and resilienceThe courage to connect directly with peopleThe willingness to be visible, imperfectlyWhen you stop worrying about what everyone else thinks and start leading with service, you'll unlock the kind of authentic visibility that grows your business.

When we talk about resilience, too often the conversation stops at “mental grit” or “pushing through.” But the truth is this: resilience isn't about grinding harder. It's about recovery. But in the 21st century, marked by global pandemics, mass caregiving crises, economic instability and high inflation, and unprecedented trauma, this outdated definition no longer serves us. Holistic Resilience reframes resilience as not just surviving adversity but rebuilding from the inside out—biologically, emotionally, financially, socially, and spiritually. It integrates nervous system recovery with identity reinvention, creating a blueprint for sustainable thriving after disruption. It's about rewiring the nervous system after disruption. And for those who have been through trauma, who spend months or years in a state of hypervigilance, this recovery is both urgent and lifesaving. In this episode of the Holistic Wealth podcast, our topic is "What is Holistic Resilience? The New Resilience Frameworks for the 21st Century". Resources Used in This Episode:Holistic Wealth (Expanded and Updated): 36 Life Lessons to Help You Recover from Disruption, Find Your Life Purpose, and Achieve Financial FreedomWhy We Need a New Framework for ResilienceThe numbers speak for themselves:70% of adults worldwide will experience at least one traumatic event in their lifetime. That's 5.6 billion people alive today (WHO, 2023).Roughly 1 in 13 people globally will develop PTSD at some point.Long-term caregiving reduces life expectancy by an average of 9 years due to stress-induced telomere shortening (UCSF study).Trauma survivors are 2-3x more likely to develop chronic illness, depression, or financial instability.A landmark ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences) study found that people with 4 or more ACEs are 12x more likely to attempt suicide and 3x more likely to develop heart disease.

Something is missing in your recipe for success. Not a tool. Not a strategy. But something deeper: your inner grit. This isn't about hustling harder or pushing yourself until you burn out. It's about the strength you draw on when you're tired, when the campaign feels heavy, when the grant report is due, and when your to-do list is longer than your capacity. In this episode, I'm sharing why grit matters just as much as skill in fundraising, the mindset shifts that make it sustainable, and how to build your own reserve of inner strength so you can lead with clarity, joy, and resilience, even when the work gets hard. If you've ever felt like you're running on fumes or questioning if you've got what it takes, this episode will remind you: you do. You just need to reconnect with it.Topics:Why inner grit is the missing ingredient in many nonprofit leaders' successHow grit differs from hustle culture (and why that matters)Practical ways to build mental and emotional resilienceThe connection between grit and long-term fundraising successSigns you're running low on grit (and what to do about it)Why skill without grit leads to stalled progressHow to rally yourself when you're tired, overwhelmed, or uninspiredFor a full list of links and resources mentioned in this episode, click here.Bloomerang is the complete donor, volunteer, and fundraising management solution that helps thousands of nonprofits deliver a better giving experience and create sustainable, thriving organizations.

Foggy, fragile, or numb? It's not you — it's your nervous system. This episode reframes fatigue as wisdom and shows high-capacity humans how to lead from alignment, not adrenaline.If you've been pushing through but feeling more off than on — this episode will feel like a breath you didn't know you needed.Today, Julie Holly names what so many high-capacity humans have misdiagnosed in themselves: nervous system fatigue. Not burnout. Not laziness. Not lack of discipline. But a physiological signal that your body has been trying to send for a while.You'll learn how the nervous system quietly overrides presence — even when your life looks aligned from the outside. And how this shows up in ways that often go unnoticed: constant stimulation, difficulty resting, overcommitting to “good” things that still feel draining.You'll also explore:Why high performers often launch their day in sympathetic modeHow even meditation and morning routines can reinforce pressureWhat it means to lead from regulation — not just resilienceThe myth of “more discipline” and the truth about capacityWhy nervous system support is not extra — it's essentialJulie shares her own personal journey of override and recalibration, and how noticing — and honoring — nervous system cues changed everything.You'll also hear about Dr. Linnea Passaler, a former surgeon who now leads a movement around emotional and nervous system healing. Her words echo the ILR message:“If your nervous system isn't on board, your strategies won't stick.”Julie will link her work in the show notes.

The term ‘agtech' now encompasses so many different types of businesses and innovations, that from an investment perspective, it can look overly complex. However perhaps the opposite is true?Mark Kahn, Managing Partner of Ominvore, shares his ‘agtech-agribusinesss convergence theory'; where agtech startups eventually grow to look like a more conventional agribusiness company. He argues that if an agtech startup can't see a pathway to either becoming an agribusiness or at least complementing one, then it's likely to fail. The recent agtech startup failures in animal protein and vertical farming are an example of this.So what does this argument mean for venture capital, which is all about high growth potential, disruption, and of course, high risk? Are VCs likely to invest in startups which are going to become ‘just another agribusiness'? And does that even matter?For important context, Mark Kahn is based in India, which has a vastly different investment landscape compared with western countries. India has an incredibly large agriculture economy,  worth about $US600 - 700 billion, with about 50% of the Indian workforce employed in agriculture.  If you compare that with Australia, only 2.5% of the national workforce is involved in agriculture. In the United States, it's around 10%. Mark and Sarah discuss:Omnivore's investment thesis and how it has evolved over time to focus on food security, agricultural prosperity, resource efficiency & rural resilienceThe unique agtech investment conditions in India and how it compares with markets in western countries such as the US, Canada, and Australia Whether we are starting to see a global uptick in agtech investmentWhy Mark believes there is an agtech-agribusiness convergenceHow the Indian agtech market can be overlooked by western investors, because they do not take the time to understand itUSEFUL LINKS:Value creation in Indian agriculture - McKinsey and Company, 2025DeHaat - the largest farmer platform in India and portfolio company of Omnivore.What caused the farmer protests in India and what does it mean for innovation in Ag?- Agtech… So What? episode, featuring Mark Kahn and other investors.For more information and resources, visit our website. The information in this post is not investment advice or a recommendation to invest.

In this deeply important episode, we briefly explore legislation like Bill 33 in Ontario intersects with the realities of parenting, education, and mental health-especially for children who struggle with behavioral challenges such as ODD (Oppositional Defiant Disorder), IED (Intermittent Explosive Disorder), and ADHD.But we go beyond policy to focus on the human stories behind the diagnoses: the children who feel misunderstood, the parents navigating broken systems, and the educators striving to do more with less.We talk about the critical role of nervous system regulation, not just for students, but for the adults guiding them. And most importantly, we explore how building connection, community, and a culture of care in schools and homes is key to reducing loneliness, isolation, and even suicidal ideation in young people.This episode is a call to action—for more compassion, more leadership, and more systemic change that centers belonging and relationship.

Happy Mindset Monday!In Part 2 of my powerful conversation with educator and leader Alicia Auman, we dive even deeper into the emotional experience of imposter syndrome, and what it really means to lead, grow, and show up when your confidence is still catching up.This episode is for anyone who's ever asked themselves: "Am I really enough?"The answer? Yes—but sometimes we have to act with courage before we feel fully ready.

When Men Go Numb: Depression as a Survival ResponseIn this compelling episode, we unravel the hidden ways depression uniquely manifests in men—not as sadness, but as numbness, burnout, and emotional shutdown. Through expert insight and real-world examples, you'll discover how the male nervous system uses "functional freeze" as a deeply wired safety strategy.We explore the roots of this survival response in childhood environments, chronic stress, and modern pressures to perform, revealing why traditional approaches often miss the mark. The episode offers a fresh biopsychosocial perspective, highlighting male-specific symptoms like irritability, anger, perfectionism, and withdrawal.Listeners will learn:Why numbness is often a protective adaptation, not a personal failingHow perfectionism and emotional suppression develop as early defensesThe biological mechanisms behind "shutting down," including Polyvagal Theory and nervous system regulationPractical, body-based interventions—like breathwork, movement, and micro-acts of agency—that cut through shame and restore resilienceThe importance of trauma-informed, gender-sensitive care for menIf you or someone you know feels disconnected, exhausted, or stuck in a rut, this episode will help reframe depression as information—not weakness—and point the way toward healing and reconnection.

He dives into the importance of breath, awareness, fascia, intention, and emotional integration, and how these all influence your genetic expression.Here's what you'll walk away with:A deeper understanding of how emotional blocks show up as physical tension (and how to release them)Why “slowing down” is the secret weapon for nervous system healing and resilienceThe underestimated role fascia and breath play in your vitalityHow to move through life as a Peaceful Warrior, with grounded strength, clarity, and compassionIf you've ever felt like healing has to be hard or that you need to push your way through, Marek offers a refreshing, embodied alternative rooted in presence and possibility."You are here to experience life, not just survive it."Marek is based in Greenwood Village, Colorado, and offers both in-person and digital workshops.

Stressful events can hijack cognition, cloud judgment, and leave emotional residue that can fuel long-term burnout. For acute care clinicians, those moments of emotional overwhelm, when heart rate spikes and the thinking brain goes offline, can have consequences that last far beyond the shift. While long-term resilience is essential, it's often the just-in-time strategies that determine whether we break down or rise to the moment. In this episode, we explore the physiology and psychology of real-time emotional regulation with Scott Weingart, MD, co-creator of the Beat the Stress Fool protocol. Finally, we uncover how practices like gratitude flooding and negative visualization can inoculate against burnout and offer emotional integrity in the most harrowing moments of care.

From international rugby player to breathwork and resilience coach, Anthony Mullally has walked the path from brute force to grounded strength. In this raw and timely conversation, Anthony shares how his journey through elite sport—and the identity crisis that followed—led him to question traditional ideas of masculinity and purpose.Now a senior instructor for Deep End Fitness, he helps others push past their perceived limits through a unique blend of breathwork, functional fitness, and aquatic-based stress training. But Anthony's mission goes deeper: he's working to redefine what it means to be a man today. We talk about the shame men feel around vulnerability, the outdated idea that rest is weakness, and the urgent need for male role models who embody compassion, strength, and self-awareness.Anthony's retreats offer an antidote to the “alpha male” noise—creating spaces where men can show up, breathe, reflect, and grow. No ego. No warrior chanting. Just real connection, real work, and real transformation.If you're curious about modern masculinity, mental health, or how breath can lead to breakthrough—this one will hit home. @mullaly91WE CHAT ABOUTWhy many men avoid mental health & self-development workThe role of shame, vulnerability, and societal conditioningHow mindful use of language can help open doors for menThe evolution of masculinity in the modern ageBuilding inclusive, grounded men's retreats Transitioning from pro rugby to breathwork and retreatsUsing pool-based stress training to develop nervous system resilienceThe balance of physical strength, emotional regulation, and purposePERKS FOR YOU 10% off Liforme yoga mats with code HUSLER1010% off expert validated wellbeing brand at Healf via this link10% off Colorful Standard clothing with code ADAMHUSLERCS1020% off Vivobarefoot shoes with code HUSLER20 5% off Nurosym vagus nerve stimulation device with code ADAMH5 25% off our online studio full of yoga, sound and meditation, with code HONEST25 (25% off single 12 month membership or reoccurring monthly membership until cancellation) STAY IN TOUCH @adamhusler -
