A fundraising story that raises millions can also put a life in danger. The biggest storytelling mistake nonprofits make isn't about the money you could lose; it's about the irreversible harm you don't even see you're causing.In this episode of Hey Nonprofits, host Trevor Nelson sits down with ethical storytelling expert Diana Farias to uncover this critical issue. Diana shares the powerful and personal story of how she learned that a successful fundraising campaign can have devastating consequences for a story owner. She reveals why even well-intentioned nonprofits are at risk of ruining their reputation and breaking community trust. Discover how to create a simple and consistent process for gathering stories that protects your clients, honors your mission, and ultimately inspires more giving. This conversation provides a clear framework to help you raise money with both confidence and integrity.

Building less is without doubt the most cost effective and environmental solution. If you have an old home with good bones, a few strategic and creative moves may be all you need to create something very special. In today's episode, we continue exploring the importance of reusing existing buildings and look at ways to renovate and add value and joy with minimal work. We'll investigate the renovation of a mid-century modern home located in Stafford Heights in subtropical Brisbane. Architect Paul Butterworth, director of Paul Butterworth Architect, shares the inside story on his Stafford Heights Modern project. Today we'll learn about the opportunities and challenges of reusing existing homes and materials. And we have a very interesting conversation about the financial challenges architects and builders face when working on low budget renovations and some real solutions to create better outcomes for everyone.Australian Architects can earn formal CPD hours by listening to these podcasts and completing an online quiz.

KEY POINTS SUMMARY1. It's important for architects to educate their clients about the world of opportunity that design and particularly sustainable design offers. And if you're a client of an architect, it will require trust, sometimes bravery and working collaboratively to achieve a unique and environmental home. 2. If an existing house has character and good bones, think very carefully before demolishing it. Older homes contribute to the character we value in our streets and enhance property value, pride and delight in our suburbs. This character is rarely matched in new low budget homes. 3. It's easier to salvage and recycle items from demolition if you are living on site. Builders work within tight time frames and usually don't have the resources or time to stockpile materials and determine how to pass them on to a new owner. 4. An ordinary mid-century home may be cost effectively renovated into something very special through enhancing its existing motifs and design elements. Look for inspiration in the surrounding older homes.Paul shared some very wise advice about architectural practice. 5. Architects must be transparent about their commitment to projects and build trust with clients by itemising non-chargeable time and tasks....

When people think collapse, they imagine running out and buying new gear every time something breaks. But in a slow collapse—what I call Depression 2.0—that's not realistic. Money gets tight, imports dry up, and new products get scarce. That's when one of the most valuable skills kicks in: repair and reuse.

Meer as 800 mense is dood en minstens tweeduisend beseer in die aardbewing van 6 wat Afghanistan se bergagtige oostelike grensgebied Maandag getref het. Die aardbewing was op 'n diepte van slegs agt kilometer, wat dit meer vernietigend maak. Die Nangarhar- en Kunar-provinsies is die ergste getref. Ibrahim Ahmed van Islamic Relief Worldwide verduidelik die uitdagings om hulp te verleen.

Actively looking for ways to reuse what is already in place is central to environmental decision making. In today's episode, we move on to our next sustainable design theme, Renovation and Reuse. We'll investigate the renovation of a 1940s timber cottage located in Bundjalung Country in the beachside town of Fingal Head in subtropical northern New South Wales. Architect Rob Norman, director of Symbiosphere Architects, shares the inside story on his Bambury Bungalow project. Today we'll learn about creative and cost effective solutions for retaining and reusing old buildings and materials, the unique character and joy that can be affordably created through reusing old buildings, and loads of other insights and practical information from Rob's years of experience.Australian Architects can earn formal CPD hours by listening to these podcasts and completing an online quiz.

KEY POINTS SUMMARY1. Old buildings and materials have a unique character that is very difficult to obtain from anything affordable and new. They make a home so much more interesting, inspirational and joyful to live in, adding to quality of life, market appeal, and ultimately property value. 2. In recent years, interest and awareness of sustainable design have grown in the market, but unfortunately, knowledge has not. Social media, architectural journals and architect websites promote environmental design with glossy, finished project photos, but with limited information about what's going on in the background. These glamorous images support the assumption that environmental buildings are expensive and all about appearance. In reality, a house that performs well from a sustainability point of view is not necessarily expensive or glamorous. Unfortunately, many genuinely sustainable houses do not photograph well, so they do not get the interest that they should. The next points are about ideas for reusing materials out of your existing building. Rob had heaps of ideas, but these particular ones come up most frequently on a lot of old houses. 3. Old window glass and old windows can be retained and made safer by applying security film. Old window glass is thinner and more fragile than modern glass and breaks into sharp, jagged shards when shattered, posing a serious safety risk. The application of security film enhances the window's resistance to breakage and holds the shattered glass together. 4. Old timber T&G floorboards on their last legs can be retained with a thorough cleaning. This approach is beneficial in cases where sanding...

Sunscreen is essential when on holiday, and in the summer in general. But it doesn't come cheap, and often the contents aren't fully used by the time the holiday is over. It's tempting to reuse bottles from one year to the next, to save money and reduce waste. What many people don't know though is whether sunscreen remains effective once it's been opened, or whether using an out-of-date product is dangerous. How can I tell if my sunscreen has expired? What are the risks of using out-of-date sunscreen? What steps should I take to stay safe? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

The scale of our plastic waste crisis is staggering: the U.S. alone uses over 100 million plastic utensils every day, most of which are used once and tossed into landfills where they'll persist for centuries. From ocean pollution to overflowing campus dumpsters after lunch rush, single-use packaging defines modern food service—but universities and businesses are under mounting pressure to embrace sustainable alternatives. Tune in to a conversation with Rob Kutner, Chief Revenue Officer at USEFULL, which offers a practical solution to food service waste: a reusable takeout container system designed for the high-volume and fast pace of college cafeterias. USEFULL's latest move challenges throwaway culture head-on with a plastic buyback program that pays institutional cafeterias to ditch disposables and go reusable.  The company has already made waves at universities like the University of Pittsburgh, Emory University, and the University of North Carolina Wilmington, achieving a remarkable 99% return rate for their containers. The economics are compelling. Rather than asking institutions to absorb the cost of switching to sustainable packaging, USEFULL creates financial incentives by purchasing a cafeteria's existing plastic inventory, removing the sunk costs barrier and providing immediate value to cafeterias ready to make the transition. USEFULL built an ecosystem to improve the convenience of reuse, developing tracking systems, POS integration services, and local washing and inventory management to solve the campus reuse challenge. The timing couldn't be better. As Bain & Company recently reported, ROI has become the driving force for growing adoption of sustainable practices. As companies recognize the threat to future business performance represented by the take-make-waste economic model, USEFULL demonstrates how simple steps, not grandiose plans for revolution, can create tractable, attractive, and profitable paths to reduced waste.

Ireland's first toy sharing platform, The Toy Library, is encouraging people across the country to redistribute school equipment like bags and pencil cases to support the environment and the circular economy. The Toy Library's Back-To-School campaign also looks to relieve the financial pressures of what is considered one of the most expensive times of the year for parents. The campaign invites families to donate pre-owned school bags and equipment that are in good condition by taking a picture of the item and sharing it on The Toy Library website, https://www.thetoylibrary.ie/p/back-to-school. The initiative involves using the platform's geo-location to find pre-loved school bags in a person's locality or in locations across the country. The website is free and allows families to browse the library and request items for collection. The campaign supports The Toy Library's ongoing mission, which has seen 2,480 families across Ireland participate, with 2,282 toys recirculated since it was established in June 2024. Their annual social impact report shows that The Toy Library helped save 1,700 kg of plastic, which amounts to almost €37,000 worth of toys. The social enterprise was established in Co. Cork to target the environmental impact of plastic toys, provide sustainable and affordable options for parents and offer accessible experiences for children. The Toy Library also organises monthly Swap & Play events in locations across Ireland. The next event will take place in Co. Meath in Ashbourne Community Centre on August 9th from 11 am-2 pm. Giorgia Anile, Founder of The Toy Library, said: "The cost of the back-to-school period is always challenging for parents. The Toy Library's Back-To-School campaign offers a solution where families can donate pre-loved bags or pencil case,s which other children can choose from on our website. "The success of The Toy Library this past year pushed me to look at new ways in which parents can save money and also contribute to saving the environment. Our mission has been to redefine consumption by providing sustainable and affordable practices. This approach saves money and encourages children to swap, borrow and reuse, which is a vitally important message for the future."

You're already creating valuable content, you just haven't captured it yet. In this episode of Recruiting Conversations, I break down how to repurpose your team meetings, trainings, and leadership insights into high-impact recruiting content that builds trust before the first call is even booked. You don't need more hours. You need a system that documents your leadership and turns it into content your ideal recruit actually wants to see. Episode Breakdown [00:00] Introduction – You're already creating content. You just haven't systemized how to capture and share it yet. [01:00] Why It Matters – Recruiting content builds visibility and trust before the first meeting ever happens. [02:00] Step 1: Redefine What Content Is – Content isn't marketing. It's leadership in public. Rants, frameworks, stories, even phrases are assets. [03:00] Step 2: Capture Everything – Record all team huddles, Zooms, whiteboards, and voice notes. Every great moment is a seed. [04:00] Step 3: Extract and Translate – Look for passionate moments, steps, phrases, and breakthroughs. Turn them into short posts or video clips. [05:00] Step 4: Build a Weekly Rhythm – Block one hour each week to harvest and post content. Delegate when possible. [06:00] Step 5: Speak to Your Ideal Recruit – Tailor every piece to what your best hires value most, autonomy, growth, clarity, or community. [07:00] Step 6: Use Content in Conversations – DM your posts as follow-up. Share clips to warm up cold leads. [08:00] Step 7: Reuse and Compound – Great content doesn't expire. Repost your best ideas and let repetition build trust. [08:30] Step 8: Build a Content Vault – Store 30 to 100 short assets you can use to drip value to recruits over time. Key Takeaways Document, Don't Create – Your leadership is already producing great content. Just start capturing it. Content Builds Trust Before the Call – Your ideal recruit should feel like they already know you before you ever meet. Post With Purpose – Speak directly to the pain points and goals of your top recruits. Use Content as a Recruiting Tool – Don't just post and hope. DM your posts. Drip your vault. Make it part of the pipeline. Start Simple, Stay Consistent – One insight, one post, every week. That's all it takes to go from invisible to top of mind. Recruits don't follow the most polished pitch. They follow the most consistent presence. Show them how you lead before you ever ask them to follow.

This week on the podcast, we're having a kind of part two of our Facebook strategy series—and trust me, you're going to want to take a good look at your page. Because if your Facebook isn't converting or growing your audience like it used to, these four smart tweaks just might be the facelift it needs. https://creativesonfirepodcast.com/episode207 4 Smart Fixes to Boost Engagement These aren't complicated or tech-heavy changes. They're simple, intentional updates you can make today to boost engagement, grow your audience, and build trust—without burning out. 1. Fix Your Facebook Page Name (Yes, Really) Did you know your Facebook page actually has two names? One is the public-facing title (think: “Melanie Ferguson DIY Home Decorating”), and the other is your @handle (mine's @southerncrushathome). Here's why this matters: Your title should be keyword-rich so that when someone types “DIY home decor” in the Facebook search bar, your page comes up. Your handle should ideally match across platforms (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube) to keep your brand cohesive and easier to find. This one small change could make a big impact—just remember, Facebook only lets you change your page name every 60 days, so choose wisely. 2. Update That Profile Picture It might feel easier to use a logo or an avatar (guilty!), but if you are the brand, then your face should be front and center. A clear, smiling photo of YOU builds: Trust Connection Confidence in your brand In today's AI-heavy world, showing up as your real, beautiful self is one of the best things you can do to stand out and build credibility. 3. Use Your Cover Photo Like a Lead Magnet Did you know your Facebook cover image can include a clickable description? Most people don't take advantage of this—but you should. Here's how to optimize it: Add a link in the cover image description to your freebie, email list, or product Include a short message for first-time visitors Make it super clear how they can stay connected with you This hidden gem is a great way to capture warm traffic right from the top of your page. 4. Post More Than You Think You Should I get it—we don't want to sound repetitive. But most of your audience isn't seeing your content the first time around (or even the third time). Here's what works: Post the same message in multiple formats: feed, stories, live video, reels Reuse evergreen posts every 90 days—no one's keeping track but you Mix your media: still images, short text posts, videos, polls, and more And if you're not sure what to post or how to plan ahead, I've got you covered… Want Help Planning All of This?

In this episode of the Building Better Developers podcast, Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche revisit one of their most foundational topics: evolving from coder to developer. Explored initially in the “Skill Sets for Success” episode, this updated discussion is guided by fresh talking points generated via ChatGPT—though the core theme remains the same: how to grow from a task-focused coder into a solution-oriented developer. Understanding the Shift: From Coder to Developer At the heart of this episode is the distinction between coders and developers. Coders complete the job. Developers solve the problem—and think beyond the current task. Michael emphasizes that evolving from coder to developer is about ownership. Developers consider reusability, maintainability, and long-term value. They don't just write code—they build tools that scale and adapt.

With tariffs leading to higher prices on everything from clothing to electronics, is this an opportunity to rethink what we buy, and how often we buy it? In Chicago, a range of businesses and groups are helping residents rethink the typical consumer mindset by reusing items, and even buying locally. Reset learns more about the “circular economy,” how it works in Chicago, and how it could help your wallet – and by extension, the environment. We checked in with Jonathan Pereira, executive director Plant Chicago; Bob Shea, founding director of Devices 4 the Disabled; and Karen Weigert, director of Loyola University Chicago's Baumhart Center for Social Enterprise and Responsibility.
