What this episode covers
Two fundraising gurus have teamed up to write a book. A really, really important book about how to “get back to normal” while dealing with more distractions than ever. Chris Cannon is the President of Strategic Services at Zuri Group. Michael Felderbaum is the Director of Advancement Systems at Yale University. Together, they have written Focused Fundraising: How to Raise Your Sights and Overcome Overload. We think it’s safe to say that all of us need a copy. On this episode of the RAISE Podcast, Brent interviews Chris and Michael for a pre-release book review and insights on sustained stress during the pandemic, mindfulness techniques to achieve operational excellence, and the importance of recharging and self care. Michael and Chris are here to teach us how to be well while doing good. Tune in for a preview of Focused Fundraising, releasing in August 2022.
