47. Favourite insights and listens of 2020 – with Rob Woods and Ben Swart

I’ve now been making this podcast for just over year. Not least because 2020 has created so many new fundraising challenges for charities, I’m so grateful to have got the show started well before the pandemic hit, so that I could keep creating content to help fundraisers as the crisis has unfolded. To celebrate the amazing way the show has grown in its first 12 months, I wanted to reflect on four or five of the guest interviews, especially from the early days, that I’ve found especially fascinating and helpful. To help me reflect and pull out the juiciest ideas from these conversations, I’m joined by Ben Swart, my long-standing associate at Bright Spot. We hope you find these ideas useful, as well as a helpful sign post to some episodes that you may not have caught the first time round. Thank you so much to everyone who has supported this show this year! Thank you for listening, for sharing on social media or with colleagues, or for leaving a review wherever you get your podcasts. I’m incredibly grateful for your help in spreading the word so that the ideas reach and hopefully help more charities during these troubled times. If you’d like to get in touch, or share this episode, we’re both on Linked In and on twitter, Ben is @benswart and I am @woods_rob.
