In this episode, Mallory Mitchell joins me in a wiiiiiide-ranging chat.
Our discussion covers expansive topics, including the dehumanizing aspects of management systems… Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter… and the profound impacts of mortality on one's approach to life and work.
Mallory shares personal stories that illuminate the principles of community-centric fundraising… and being human.
The conversation also highlights the importance of creativity, commitment, authenticity, and mutual accountability in building resilient communities.
This episode is a rich dialogue about re-centering community — and transforming fundraising to be more equitable, inclusive, and human-focused, in the process.
Despite a few technical difficulties that might make the sound sound a little… wonky to you, you’re in for some valuable lessons and inspiration for fundraisers… and, really, anyone who cares about philanthropy… or being human.
