A very intersting discussion with Patton on Donor Advised Funds. He had great questions that allowed us to explore the topic very conversationally. Awesome experience and hopefully helpful content for Nonprofits.

Great thought leadership

I’ve always appreciated Payton’s perspective. He’s knowledgeable and insightful. Not ego driven (like some in this space can be) The only challenge is we get to interact just a few times a year. His podcast allows me to keep up to date on trends and hear from experts in the field.

Insightful interviews

I listened to last Thursday’s episode with Manuel Campbell and he had some great insight into nonprofit leadership and what it takes to go from a side passion project to a fully-developed plan that can impact the community at large. Manuel’s childhood, growing up with entrepreneurial-minded mentors, really resonated with me as a small-business owner and grabbed my attention from the first five minutes of the episode. Patton asked thought-provoking questions which allowed Manuel to respond with great detail on his experiences - a true testament to his hosting.
