  • AI vs Nonprofits?? How AI Directly Impacts Your Org
    Jul 1 2025

    AI isn’t coming; it’s already here, and nonprofits that don’t adapt risk being left behind. In this episode, we unpack the Forbes article “AI And Nonprofits: Not If Or When, But How,” exploring how charities and social impact organizations can responsibly harness AI to amplify mission-driven work from smart fundraising and grant-writing to impact measurement and reporting. We get real about the human side, too: trust, transparency, ethical guardrails, and keeping people, not machines, at the heart of the mission. You’ll walk away with practical tools, inspiring case studies, and an optimistic roadmap for where AI can take us next.

    Why Listen:

    • Cut through the hype: get actionable strategies nonprofits are already using.

  • Trump Is Snatching Your Funds, But Here's How You Can Beat Him at His Game
    Feb 9 2025

    🚨 BREAKING NEWS: The Grant Graveyard is Filling Up! 🚨

    Looks like Uncle Sam (or should we say Trump) has been busy pulling the plug on grants and federal funding—because, why not make life even harder for nonprofits and social enterprises to create real impact, right?

    But here’s the thing… we don’t panic, we pivot. 💡

    If your funding strategy starts and ends with waiting on government crumbs, it’s time for a serious upgrade. I’m hosting the Secure Your Funding Workshop to show you how to:

    ✔️ Stop relying on disappearing grants (RIP) and build a sustainable financial strategy.
    ✔️ Unlock hidden revenue streams most people overlook.
    ✔️ Get the funding you need without begging, borrowing, or breaking your spirit.

    The government might be slamming doors, but I’ll show you how to build your own dang house. 🏡🔥

    Don’t wait for the next policy change to wreck your budget. Secure your spot and purchase your copy of your Triumph book before it's too late!
