Podcasts about wild apricot

This past week, Wild Apricot clients learned that a 25% price increase was coming to all pricing tiers in April. It's not unusual for companies to have to increase prices periodically, so this is to be expected. Yet, every time the price of technology goes up, boards start to wonder if they need to look around at what else is out there. If yours is feeling that urge, you'll likely be interested in this article that I first published back in January of 2022. It's just as relevant and timely this year.If you are a Wild Apricot customer who is beginning to look at options, I encourage you to add JourneyCARE to your list of possibilities. I did a demonstration on Friday specifically highlighting the similarities and differences between the two platforms.You can watch it here: https://joyofmembership.com/wild2023 (no registration required)Connect with JoyWebsite:joyofmembership.comjourneycare.app

Dmitry Buterin is the Founder of three multimillion-dollar businesses, including top-ranked membership management software company Wild Apricot, which serves over 20,000 small nonprofits. He was also the Co-founder of Blockgeeks, an online hub where talented, inspiring, and hard-working entrepreneurs, investors, and leaders learn about the rapidly evolving world of blockchain.  Dmitry is also an angel investor and mentor for blockchain startups. He is a proud father of three, one of whom is the creator of Ethereum. In this episode… You've probably heard about Ethereum and how it powers many products and services. You may not know that Ethereum exists partly because one man, Dmitry Buterin, got tired of Soviet Union propaganda. He moved his family to Toronto, where he raised his son, Vitalik Buterin, who would later drop out of college to co-found the Ethereum platform. And that's only the short version of the story. Dmitry, who himself founded and built three multimillion-dollar businesses, played a significant role in introducing Vitalik to Bitcoin early on. Fast forward years later, he's undeterred and excited about the future of Ethereum. What does that look like?  Listen to this episode of the Rising Entrepreneurs Podcast with Dr. Jeremy Weisz featuring a Co-founder of Blockgeeks, Dmitry Buterin. They discuss the Ethereum origin story, Ethereum use cases, Dmitry's work with Gate To Ukraine, why he is vilified for it, and what the future holds for Ethereum.

Top 10 Responsibilities of a Nonprofit Executive Director —------------------------------------------------------ ✨

Episode 104 - Cindy Clearwater: All things websites, email and social media marketing for newer nonprofitsYou can sign up for our weekly newsletter, The Technopath Way Tips, here: https://technopath.lpages.co/technopath-way-tips-email-opt-in-page/Scenario: I am on a board of a volunteer run nonprofit. The folks running our systems are still using gmail, yahoo, comcast and other personal email. How do I change this? We already have a website that was set up by a volunteer no longer at the organization.Go to whois.com. There you can put your website into a search bar and it will tell you what company your domain is registered with. For instance, if it is Godaddy, you can call them and tell them what you are trying to do. GoDaddy also have a lot of “how-to” videos at godaddy.com/how-to. No matter what company it is, you can go to their website, get their contact information and call them. Tell them you want to set up email through your website, but don't know how to get it set up and can no longer reach the person who originally purchased the domain for your organization.Your web host is typically who you bought your domain name from, but as Cindy tells us, not always. You may need this information if you are hiring a new web developer. If they ask you for this and you don't know, you can probably find it on an annual bill. Search your email archives for billing records. The bottom line is - don't worry! It is not as technical as it may seem, you just need to know the basic concepts to know who to call.Helpful Tech Mentioned by CindyRegistering a Domain: Godaddy.com - Reassign ‘owner' of registered domainNamecheap.com - easier interfaceWebhosting:Inmotion - Cindy's preferredGodaddy.comBluehost.com Email hosting: Often this is available through your webhost, but you will most likely want to set it up through Outlook or a similar email service to make it easier to navigate for yourself.High Quality CRM: SalesforceOthers include Hubspot (just came out with a new nonprofit CRM), Bloomerang, kindful, Salsa, Neon, Donor Perfect, Wild Apricot, VirtuousDigital Marketing General Tips:Email collection is key. You can create a form on your website or through a service like Mailchimp that can be embedded on your website. Then connect it to your CRM. Again, all the folks at these companies have support that can get you or another volunteer started if you are “bootstrapping” it.Make sure you have a dedicated website/digital marketing role assigned to someone who is either on staff or contracted in order to maintain consistencyCreate brand/style guidelines for continuityWebsite Building Platform:Cindy recommends WordPress.orgWordPress.org is separate from WordPress.comWordPress.com has less control over the website, plugins are not allowed, it is not as sophisticated, good for very basic absolute beginner bloggers, not for building a business or organizationSocial Media Help:Socialmediaexaminer.com has informative articles and a podcastFiverr.com - good for small projects, Virtual Assistants and contractors

In this podcast session, I sat down with friend and serial tech entrepreneur Dmitry Buterin. Dmitry is the founder of three multi-million dollar businesses, including Wild Apricot — a leading membership management software company that he grew from 0 to $10M before it was acquired in late 2017 by Personify. He’s also an angel investor and advisor to several tech and blockchain businesses one being BlockGeeks - a top online resource for anyone who’s interested in learning how to become a world-class Blockchain developer. Dmitry also happens to be the proud father of Vitalik Buterin who is the creator of Ethereum, which - as of this writing - had a market cap of $46 billion, making it the second most valuable crypto network next to Bitcoin. Whenever we meet our conversations tend to cover “a lot of ground” and this one was no exception. During the session, we covered a variety of topics including sabbaticals, personal growth, parenting, entrepreneurship, business culture and leadership, and even blockchain.
