Trevor sits down with DonorDock's CMO, Rob Burke, to talk about the realities of working in nonprofit fundraising—the stuff that doesn't always make it into the how-to guides.

*Raise $10,000+ with the Golden Ticket:* https://hgafundraising.com/golden-ticket/

We cover a lot of ground here: why recurring giving programs are under-utilized by fundraisers, how stewardship keeps falling to the bottom of the to-do list, and why the nonprofit sector feels so fragmented when it comes to learning and sharing what actually works. Rob talks about building community through podcasts, the importance of investing in your own growth as a leader, and how to set boundaries without the guilt that usually comes with it.

We also get into burnout, something so many fundraisers face today, and how to prevent it before it takes you out. Rob shares his own experience and what he's learned about protecting your energy while still doing work that matters.

Plus, some exciting news about WellTold, an upcoming conference designed to bring nonprofit leaders together. Register here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/welltold-a-nonprofit-storytelling-conference-tickets-1830811770289
