This week’s episode is about hiring, training, and managing people. Can you find people with the lowest skill possible to do the work that needs done? Is it fair to pay people $30,000 after they have 5 years of experience and a Master’s degree? What can you do to spend one of two variables now to save big on those later?

This week’s episode is about awareness months. Apparently April is for welders and international guitar recognition. But if you’ve wondered what you can do for your respective month or week, let’s talk about some ideas. Including ways to flip the notion that “likes have no value” on its head.

You have two buckets to spend from: a money bucket and a time bucket. They may not be very full, but you do have those two buckets. How can you spend something out of one or both to help put more in? Because if you can do that, then you have set the stage for growing a nonprofit. Without it, you don’t have a nonprofit, you have a job. This week’s show is all about that. And it all started with Abraham Lincoln.

This week’s show is about leadership. A nefariously nebulous topic that sounds like self-help junk, but I’ve been thinking a lot about it lately. How do you motivate individual people? How do you motivate volunteers? How do you get people to deliver just that extra little bit? To get people to work hard?

The truth is you probably already are. I really liked this show, and think you will, too.

This week’s episode is brought to you by teenage angst, apparently. We talk about viral content, its components, and thoughts on past viral successes (spoiler: they’re kinda sexual or mean). Also, how most organizations aren’t willing shouldn’t try to replicate viral successes. Instead, focus locally. Including why the ALS Ice Bucket challenge can’t be replicated and why you probably don’t want to.

A packed show this week, all about email campaigns. How and where to sign up with a provider, how to setup the lists, what to include, when to send, ideas on how to structure your list and write subject lines, and A/B tests. It’s a really good one.
