Welcome to a dynamic close of our eighth season at the We Are For Good podcast! My co-host, Becky, and I, John, are thrilled to reflect on some golden nuggets of wisdom we've gathered over this season from some of the best minds in the sector. We promise to deliver insights that will transform your perspective on philanthropy, making it more personal, authentic and innovative.Starting off with industry giants Seth Godin and Dan Pallotta, we dissect their thoughts on the emerging era of modern philanthropy. Seth's reflection on decision-making and action-taking has left a profound impact on us that we're eager to share. Guest appearances from Broochy Babbage, Steve Hofstetter and others have further enriched our conversations, adding diverse viewpoints to the mix. We also spotlight New Story's bold step to innovate by shedding the traditional "charity" title, underlining the necessity of breaking away from traditional models.The power of community and collective action is another theme we explore, referencing successful examples like New Story's mission to end global homelessness and Stephen Hackett's podcast fundraiser for St. Jude. Sasha Dichter was a particularly enlightening guest, emphasizing the value of community involvement and an open and collaborative mindset in nonprofit work. We wrap up with discussions on mental health, future-proofing organizations and the role of media in mainstreaming the concept of philanthropy. This season has been a whirlwind of insights and we know you'll gain a lot from our recap.
