171: The Fundraising Busywork Trap

Season 1 · Episode 171

Tuesday, November 11, 2025 • Duration 15:29

If you’re ending your workday exhausted but can’t point to how you actually moved your fundraising forward, you might be caught in the fundraising busywork trap.

In this episode, I’m breaking down why so many nonprofit leaders confuse “activity” with “progress,” and how fear, comfort, and overthinking keep your mission stuck in motion but not momentum. You’ll learn how to identify low-ROI tasks, make courageous decisions that drive funding, and replace cluttered calendars with confident action that actually grows your organization. Because the opposite of busy isn’t lazy, it’s focused.

Topics:

The fundraising busywork trap and how to recognize it
Why working harder doesn’t always mean raising more
The difference between “activity” and “aligned action”
Adam Grant’s concept of cognitive comfort and how it stalls growth
Why procrastination often disguises itself as preparation
Real client examples: saying no to low-ROI events and sponsorship decks
The three ingredients of brave leadership: boundaries, focus, and support
Why coaching and systems prevent burnout and build momentum

170: The Rule-Breaker’s Guide to Year-End Fundraising

Season 1 · Episode 170

Tuesday, November 4, 2025 • Duration 19:13

If you’re done following the same old fundraising playbook, the polite one that keeps your goals small and your growth stuck, this episode is your permission slip to break the rules.

In The Rule-Breaker’s Guide to Year-End Fundraising, I share how safe, “board-approved” strategies are quietly capping your potential, and how modern fundraisers are rewriting the rules to build momentum, trust, and record-breaking campaigns. You’ll hear how one of my clients ran two back-to-back campaigns that both exceeded goals by leading with authenticity, urgency, and story, not fear or etiquette. Because the truth is, safe doesn’t scale. It’s time to stop waiting for approval, stop softening your message, and start leading with conviction. Rule breakers don’t just raise more money, they raise more energy, excitement, and impact.

Topics:

Why playing it safe keeps your campaigns stuck on repeat
The biggest lie in year-end fundraising (and what to do instead)
How to release the “parking brake” on your campaigns and gain real traction
What modern, momentum-driven fundraising looks like
How one client ran two campaigns in a row, and hit both goals
Why innovation looks risky until it works (and then everyone copies it)
How to stop fundraising like it’s 2005 and lead with courage instead

164: From 17 to 114 Donors: Missouri’s National Veterans Memorial’s Record-Breaking Email Campaign

Season 1 · Episode 164

Tuesday, September 23, 2025 • Duration 33:34

I had the pleasure of hosting Michael Murphy, Director of Development at Missouri’s National Veterans Memorial, and one of my Purpose & Profit Club® members. Michael’s story is proof that you don’t need decades of fundraising experience to see major wins with email. In fact, in his very first nonprofit role, he took one of my frameworks, Easy Emails For Impact™, and turned a $1,900 campaign into a $9,000 campaign. We talk about what it means to ditch the “dry C-suite style” newsletters, why personal, story-driven emails outperform every time, and how confidence grows when you let go of perfection and just hit send. Michael also shares how he’s building monthly giving campaigns, blending direct mail with digital, and learning to embrace new tools without losing sight of his mission: honoring veterans across generations.

Topics:

How shifting from “C-suite style” newsletters to story-driven emails multiplied results
Why Michael’s first attempts at email felt sterile and overwhelming — and what changed
How one campaign using story-driven emails jumped from $1,900 to $9,000
The power of multiple donation levels and donor-friendly options
Why replies to your emails matter as much as donations
Using volunteers’ voices to write high-performing emails
How email + direct mail is “peanut butter and jelly” for fundraising
Building a sustainable monthly giving program that feels manageable
