A few months ago, I was asked to put together a presentation of lessons learned on the podcast as well as major giving best practices. I decided to record the presentation shortly after giving it so that I could share it with all of you. This episode is a rare one-- there is no guest speaker. I am not reading from a script but rather recounting my presentation and thought process. 

I took six episodes throughout the podcast's history, to use as guideposts while talking about important pillars of major gifts fundraising. You'll notice, there is no one size fits all. This episode contains my general ethos to major giving and my hope is that it will help you think in new ways about your work.

**Thank you to the wonderful guests I quote in this episode and to Texas A&M for inspiring the dialogue.
