Nonprofit fam, you do not want to miss this one.

On the latest episode of Nonprofit Lowdown, I sit down with the brilliant, bold, and beautifully authentic Jacob Adams — founder + CEO of Inner Spark — to talk about what it really means to lead and fundraise with authenticity. 🙌🏽🔥

We go deep on: 

• Being unapologetically real in funder relationships

• Why authenticity isn't just a buzzword — it's a strategy

•  Navigating political + environmental uncertainty while staying rooted in equity

• Fundraising as relationship-building, not performance

Jacob drops truth bombs about compliance culture in schools, the myth of professionalism, and why he refuses to "obey in advance." You’ll laugh, you’ll nod, you’ll probably rewind a few times.
