Can I do that? Can that be something that you can learn? How did questions function differently between Eastern versus Western intellectual traditions? What role do you think embodied questions those we explore through doing rather than thinking play in developing wisdom? What's on the other side of the hill? What happens if you go to the end? What's the origin of this? How should one think about the exploratory in one's life? Is there anything that you would add to your list of 15 statements that define what makes a quality question? Is there a qualitative difference between the questions humans are asking and the questions our AI systems are beginning to formulate? What do you think would help them get there? Any idea on a forcing function on how we get them [LLMs] to ask the better questions so that they might improve in that direction? What were some novel questions that broke your brain at the time in thinking about this 10,000-year clock or beyond? What's it good for? What would you use it for? What else could you do over the long term for 10,000 years? How do you transmit values over time? How do you evolve values that need to change, and how do you make a difference? How do even know what you don't want to change? What do you want to continue? What's the most essential aspects of our civilization that we don't want to go away? What are the rules? What is the system? How do you pass things along in time and not change the ones you don't wanna change, and make sure you change the ones that are more adaptable so they can adapt? What do you think about questioning itself as an art form? How has being a photographer influenced the way you question reality, visually compared to verbally? Are you a photographer that takes photos or makes photos? What will happen? What will happen next? What are your right now questions that you are wrestling with or working with in your life? Can someone else do what I'm trying to do here? Am I more me in doing my art or more me in doing the writing? Do you have any other thoughts or encouragement about questions that we haven't explored? What makes a good question? How do you ask a good question? What questions do you dwell on to be in purposeful imbalance? What is your practice in embracing the inefficient nature of questions to achieve breakthroughs? What are the new hills you can build and frontiers you can explore? How can you use your curiosity and humanity to pursue questions that trend toward the fringes?…

Lisa Dietlin visits the SnapCast and schools Mickey on the Nonprofit Sector. We start with taking in the 30,000 foot view of the sector and break some things down from there. Among the many things we discuss: Do you know how the nonprofit/philanthropic sector evolved in the US? Did you know the nonprofit sector is the largest employer in the US? Did you know that every position that exists in the for-profit world exists in the nonprofit world? Did you know that nonprofit does not mean non-revenue? In 2023, more than $577 billion was donated to causes in the US with the majority of it coming from individuals. This means that almost $1.6 billion is given away every single day of the year? Did you know that 80% of nonprofits receive 50% of their annual budget during the last two months of the calendar year? Yet kids are hungry in April, rivers need to be cleaned up in May, books need to be put on library shelves in July…. In other words, nonprofits work 24/7/365.

Rita Sever and Mickey do a dive into organizational culture to examine the hidden rules that lead to discrimination and toxicity.

What are you supposed to do when you find a hidden rule? Who is most likely to recognize hidden rules? What is a supervisor’s role in regard to the hidden rules? What about the role of HR and/or leadership if there is no HR? What about as an individual – what can one person do? This sounds like a lot of work. Does it really matter?

Computerwork vs Peoplework Colleen Cook 25:30

25:30

Colleen Cook is the Chief Business Officer for High Tide . We talk at length about computerwork vs peoplework, and how High Tide's unification of data makes data management universally useful for the entire nonprofit. Among the things we discuss: Unified, comprehensive data for nonprofits: Nonprofits deal with a lot of data points, but too often that data is siloed, making it difficult to see the complete picture. Streamlined data allows nonprofits to make fully informed decisions about donor relationships, communication strategies, etc. This is especially important because nonprofits tend to deal with higher levels of employee churn, meaning that data points can be lost when employees leave the organization if streamlined processes are not in place. Technology lag in the nonprofit sector: Nonprofits tend to be years behind other industries when it comes to technology development & adoption. Fundraising vs. sales: Fundraising and sales at times use similar strategies and concepts (i.e. digital engagement metrics) - but there are key differences when one asks for a donation for a nonprofit, compared to selling a product or service to a customer. Donor experience: Every touchpoint with a donor is critical for nonprofits in order to maintain positive, lasting relationships within their donor revenue stream. Nonprofits should tailor the donor experience to each individual donor, with unique communication, requests, and touchpoints for each donor. “People give to people.” Changing donor demographics: Nonprofits need to consider and begin establishing relationships with the next generation of donors. Trillions of dollars will be changing hands from current, aging donors to the younger generation (donors of tomorrow), and nonprofits need to establish those relationships well before they begin asking for money. Millennials and Gen-Z also have different expectations on communication, accountability, etc. than Boomers. All of this must be considered & acted upon by nonprofit organizations.

Kate Viana, MA, CNC is the Founder and Principal of Nontoxic Nonprofits. We talk about a number of things related to organizational culture including: Intergenerational conflict arises in the nonprofit workplace due to a lack of understanding and connection, and from permissive attitudes toward ageism. There are six main types of communications-related pitfalls: generational stereotypes; clashing management styles; fear and distrust; work-life balance expectations; lack of respect; and disparate communication styles. Healthy intergenerational communication starts at the top. Leadership is responsible for setting and nurturing the culture and for promoting and rewarding the right behaviors.
