"I still consider myself a proud fundraiser."

We are joined this week by the dynamic duo behind fundraising everywhere and fundraising everywhere +. With an ambition to change the world they connect and educate fundraisers, empowering them to do just that.

James bravely limps his way to the studio carrying his Lemsip for a chat about influencing positive change, launching Reject-Fest and finding a board of directors to act as your personal mentors. Simon uncovers roles in his past he didn’t know he held, Nikki contacts the gas board with a wheelbarrow full of exposure and Kenneth launches a big-money rebrand as Kevin.

There’s a potentially untrue story about Simon’s sister, an impressive CV and a discussion around the definition of an entrepreneur. We talk all about accessibility, throw in some mindful crochet and head to Wendy’s for dinner.

Best of all the guests offer a months free membership to Fundraising Everywhere for listeners with the discount code DOMOREGOOD. Head to www.fundraisingeverywhere.com to make the most of their generosity.

"You need to know what your ROI is."

It’s been a while but we return with a conversation with Ashby Jenkins of Ashby Jenkins Recruitment. The fundraiser turned recruitment specialist set up her own company three years ago and talks us through the tips and tricks she has picked up for your next move, and how she’s negotiated the past two years as a business owner.

We start with a conversation on whether another guest has requested a rider before Kenneth tells us how he’s nursing a sick family and James describes his own experiences in the recruitment world. We talk about the big move to London, negotiating internal politics and becoming evil. There’s chat on the very personal connection you make with your recruitment consultant, life-changing decisions and putting off an engagement. Kenneth is after some tips on salary negotiation, James takes things off on a tangent as he fails to secure a PR role and Ashby celebrates cognitive diversity before we all head off for a dinner of Bombay Mix and grapes.

"Never lost it."

James and Kenneth catch up after an extended summer break to talk about an upcoming run of episodes featuring some fantastic guests. We hear about Kenneth's skills in the kitchen, why James' lawn is always perfectly mown and interruptions on the dog walk.

"Much done, much more to do."

This episode features the CEO of the Football Foundation, Robert Sullivan. The former consultant, special adviser and Strategy Director at the FA began his new role in early 2020, deciding how to best invest in the grassroots game with funding from the government, the Football Association and the Premier League.

The boys kick off with a dose of nostalgia and a controversial theory about Scotland then we discuss how careers are like bouldering - developing skills, looking for opportunities and leaps of faith. Robert describes how his career took him from funder to investor, in the biggest transfer of the week. We talk alignment of strategy, crafting the perfect CV, power, relationships and influence. We spend two billion pounds and make a bid for the world cup without waiting for people to put their hands up for help - as often those who need it most, can't.

"Back then it was so... awkward."

Our guest this week is an award-winning mental health campaigner, film producer, public speaker, writer and vlogger. Jonny Benjamin was the star of an iconic mental health campaign, #FindMike - to reconnect with the man who had talked him out of jumping from a bridge in London six years earlier.

Kenneth and James kick things off with the trivial matter of people who have changed their lives before we get onto social media, the longer-terms effect of the pandemic and the impact of a difficult diagnosis. We talk religion, the importance of language and going viral globally. Jonny explains how the story is still ongoing. There's the power of youth, working for the next generation and, as ever, how collaboration is the answer - all done in time for an ice cream.

"I need to make as much impact as I can."

Episode 77 features Fleurie, the campaigner, Business Growth Director, BIMA100 winner, Bournemouth Uni 30 under 30, XTinction Rebellion member but not, it seems, the owner of a watch.

We start with James making the case to ban ice skating and Kenneth admitting to some overzealous celebrating on the sidelines. Then there's how veganism sparked curiosity and a passion, then the confidence to pursue a path towards making an impact. We talk about the boring charity sector, how we're all getting woke and the skill of the master networkers.

From there we're on to the ultimate VIP Club for purposeful brands, acquiring B-Corp status and the benefits it brings. There are tips on crafting an inner circle of organisers, what needs to change, including the war with the fridge before finally, James reveals the new merchandise line.

"If it doesn't spark joy then we don't do it."

James and Kenneth are struggling to say Participatory Giving in our latest Spotlight episode. We’re joined by Natasha and Markella, who have no such problem as they describe Camden Giving’s mission to end local poverty and inequality in Camden. They tell us how volunteering, participatory funding, resident decision-making and employment opportunities are key in creating equality, and how they’ve leant that the way these things are delivered is key.

"It's a heart not a head thing."

We like to delve into careers at the Do More Good podcast and this one is packed. From a childhood on the road to encouraging more women into politics, years spent in the Dalai Lama’s Tibetan community and working at the Jo Cox Foundation. Catherine Anderson is the Executive Director of the London Marathon Charitable Trust and joins us with her story.

We start with the revelation that James can’t make a tea, Kenneth loves diving in at the deep end and the calling of public service. Catherine describes her nomadic childhood and the skills it gave her. We talk leadership training, the lack of any and why it’s important to try.

Catherine tells us about breaking down the barriers of other’s privilege, whilst also recognising your own. She encourages us to thank our MPs, realise that nothing is permanent and describes how she always follows her heart - especially when you simply have to visit a literary festival in south-east Asia because it’s the right thing to do.

Edit: We’re delighted to report that since recording Catherine has now broken the 25 minute barrier.

"You don't need money, you need ideas."

We’ve rolled out the red carpet for Tom Lemons this week, the head of the Talent & Influencer team at the NSPCC, responsible for winning and managing award winning high profile partnerships for the charity.

Tom tells us how a stint working at the Big Issue Magazine, helping to save it from closure, sparked a passion for the third sector and led to his move to (according to Kenneth) the ‘most glamorous role in charity’. He now rubs shoulders with the likes of Geri Horner and Wayne Rooney, not to mention opening pop up shops for Harrods.

We discuss the key skills required, why you don’t need a little black book and the importance of relationships. We have terrible chat up lines, 90s TV queens and how Kenneth became best mates with Wesley Snipes. There’s the similarities with corporate partnerships, dealing with agents and celebrity top trumps, plus learning the marketing mix, the move to an influencer model and the most important (and lucrative) phone call of Tom’s career.
