The Advice We Don't Put on Slides (Live Podcast Recording)

Live from GiveCon 2026, this special roundtable episode brings together some of the nonprofit sector's most candid voices for a conversation about the advice, lessons, and realities that rarely make it into conference presentations. Some of the most valuable advice in this industry never makes it onto a conference slide. In this live discussion, we get into the conversations leaders usually save for hallways, coffee breaks, and happy hours, the mistakes nonprofits repeat, the tradeoffs leaders know exist but rarely say out loud, and the places where even experienced professionals genuinely disagree. **🎙️ In this episode, we discuss:** • The mistakes nonprofit leaders see organizations make time and time again • The hidden challenges that come with growth and scaling impact • Tough decisions that don't have easy answers • Fundraising, leadership, and organizational tradeoffs • Lessons learned from years of experience in the nonprofit sector • Different perspectives on what success and sustainability really look like • Practical advice for navigating uncertainty and change This conversation is honest, insightful, and a little provocative. It's the kind of discussion that reminds you that you're not alone in wrestling with difficult decisions, competing priorities, and the constant pressure to do more with less. Whether you're a nonprofit executive, fundraiser, marketer, consultant, board member, or emerging leader, you'll walk away with fresh perspectives, practical takeaways, and perhaps a few assumptions challenged along the way. Come ready to listen, laugh, and maybe rethink something you were sure you had figured out. 🌎 **About GiveCon** GiveCon is Bloomerang's annual conference designed to bring together nonprofit professionals, fundraisers, marketers, and industry experts to share ideas, build connections, and learn practical strategies for creating greater impact. 🔗 Learn More About GiveCon & Bloomerang https://bloomerang.com Take my free masterclass: 3 Must-Have Elements of Social Media Content that Converts
