What is your framework for actively listening and discovering a corporation's true philanthropic goals so you can build a strategy around shared values?

Sure, well, I love this question because like there's sort of like different parts to the answer.

And the first part is like, If you start at the end where you've already got everything built and constructed, it's going to be very difficult for you to establish shared understanding and shared value.

And that doesn't mean I want people going into conversations without having any idea what they're going to sell.

We need to have some meat on those bones from the beginning.

But it does mean that there has to be real spirit of curiosity from the beginning.

And, you know, I joke sometimes about like sort of a personal story that, you know, I really had a very clear vision of how I wanted to get married and when and all these things.

If our relationship currently lives between just one fundraiser and one corporate executive to start building that deeper connection, how do we actually begin making a corporate partnership truly relational?

What was the idea? Has that stayed the idea? What about it attracted you so much that you're revamping your life around it?

So we'll start out with what was the original opportunity.

I call it three things.

Three things happen about 2022.

Nebraska, which is where I am located, we are a unique state having a unicameral system at our state legislature.

And you usually don't see us in the news very often from a national perspective, right? We're pretty, you know, ability to get things done, work together.

We don't really make the big national news, except in 2022, we did twice.

Sounds like a million-dollar domain right there.
