  • Radio Free 501c: How Get that Book Written and Published with Carl Weaver January 29, 2024

    This episode: Have you ever daydreamed about writing a book? Like many of us, we think we have a great idea for a book, but we don't have any idea of how to get started. More importantly, we have no idea how to finish it. To answer these questions, I invited Carl Weaver of Broken Column Press (and nonprofit management professional) to discuss the writing process, the editing process, and the publication process. We also talk about how publishing a book can support the mission of any nonprofit organization! Along the way we talk about the power of stories, Godzilla, the Way of the Warrior, and why I mocked one of his book titles. Which one? Listen and find out! From ideation to publication, Carl offers encouragement to all of us wannabe book authors. He's a published author so he knows the joy and the agonies of the Way of the Writer. What stops you from writing that book? Share a comment!

  • Radio Free 501c: Building Wagtown - The Passion Project with Beth Miller January 22, 2024

    This episode: We all have passion projects, those things we do out for love, not money. Those of us in nonprofit work have a passion for making the world a better place -- we choose this work because it is important. It's what drives individuals to commit to the mission of creating an organization that makes a difference, even if all they have is the idea and their own energy. We call them "Passion Projects" and this week's guest, Beth Miller, has a passion for helping communities become dog-friendly. She is the Founder of Wagtown, a nonprofit that works with individuals and organizations to help educate the public, business owners, and decision makers (think legislators and regulators) on the benefits of including pets in our community (not just their owners' lives). Beth's energy and passion for her work is evident and she is even organizing a Summit later this year. In this conversation, she shares her struggles, triumphs, and hopes for the future. Come visit Wagtown and get excited again! What is your passion project? Share a comment!

  • Radio Free 501c: The Time is Now - Association and Climate Change with Elizabeth Engel, MA, CAE, and Shelly Alcorn January 8, 2024

    This episode: We launch Season 6 of Radio Free 501c with a crucial conversation about the role of associations when it comes to solving the Climate Change Crisis. While Climate Change is a constant, the way we do things is contributing to the harmful impact of the current period of warming of the planet. The Earth has gotten hotter before but now human endeavors (aka "the way we live") are making it hotter. It can be a bit overwhelming to think about the future of Planet Earth but don't pull the blanket over your head! Listen to this discussion of the issue, the impact, and the solutions we can find by working together across the association community. Imagine the power of our united resources! My guests Elizabeth Engel, MA, CAE, and Shelly Alcorn are the authors of a white paper on this topic that gives us a sense of purpose, but more importantly, a sense of hope. These are two of the smartest thinkers in our profession and they demonstrate it again with this fantastic work. Does your organization have a policy on climate change? Share a comment!
