| Beyond the Gala: Rethinking Donor Engagement | 09 Jul 2025 | 00:43:08 | |
Episode Summary This episode of Frontier.FM gets right to the heart of what it means to lead inclusively in an era of backlash and burnout. Naomi sits down with Mateo Stewart—aka The Bearded Leader—to unpack how organizations can foster authentic belonging, challenge assumptions, and rethink donor and employee engagement through a lens of equity and neuro-inclusion. Mateo shares his deeply personal and unexpected journey into the world of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), and offers a candid, systems-aware critique of the performative traps organizations can fall into—alongside generous, actionable ways forward.
