    Episode 117: Mobilising Movements with Esther Foreman
    2024/08/27
    "Think Big, Get Shit Done, Have Fun"

    Esther Foreman has spent 20 years in the social-good space, time spent running award-winning campaigns, supporting enterprise and building teams. Her career went from Doctors without Borders, Shelter, Help the Aged and Mencap to the Social Change Agency, where she supports over 600 organisations to grow, innovate and support people through fiscal and process hosting.

    We start with some excellent (though quite niche) holiday advice from James before we wonder whether our latest guest is related to Kenneth, and then we dive into a packed episode including a failed PhD, how leadership and cults go wrong and the magic in decentralised technology. There’s a life-changing meeting with Bob Geldof, a reminder of Kenneth’s cover-star status and the unique challenges for middle-children. Then there’s female founders, why you should choose a chauffeur over a babysitter and a cool origin story. We dive into our risk-appetite, getting the money to those making the impact and a call to arms for mutual aid.

    It’s a belter.

    Episode 116: Are you an Artist, a Manager or an Entrepreneur with Rob Woods
    2024/07/23
    Our guest on the podcast this week has worked in fundraising since the year 2000. If you can find a fundraising trainer more passionate and purpose-driven about the sector, we’re yet to find them.

    His business, Brightspot Fundraising, has helped thousands of individuals to unlock their potential in fundraising. Offering a series of expertly constructed courses and programmes we’ve been huge fans of this guest and his role in the sectors for many years.So much so, that this will be his second appearance on the pod, originally joining us in Dec 2017 in what was our 20th episode.

    We’re pleased to welcome back Rob Woods to the Do More good podcast.

    Episode 115: Delving into the world of CSR/ESG with Kerry McNally
    2024/03/19
    "You don't operate as a company in a bubble."

    A high-brow start to the show this week with a mention on PMQs before we dive into CSR, ESG and DB. Then it's Downing Street to Guatemala, making good decisions and learning on the job.

    We're joined by Kerry McNally, Group Head of Communities at Flutter Entertainment, to talk through what Corporate Social Responsibility or Environment Social and Governance means in the corporate world. Kerry explains how she didn't take a typical career path, mobilising 10,000 people and achieving the dream of exponential impact. We discuss investing in relationships, three-pint focus groups and cringing at puns (but using them anyway).

    Kenneth ends by penning a litter-based love-letter to Ron before James get's back to Parent's Evening.

    Episode 114: Crime, gangs and violence to leading Criminal Justice work at Causeway. The importance of lived experience with Stu Otten.
    2024/03/15
    "If you've done the crime then you do the time."

    Jimbo delivers a thank you to our Patreon supporter, Jeremy through his new monochrome webcam and Kenneth dreams of a trip to Turkey. Then it's over to our guest Stu to talk about his work fighting modern slavery and the rollercoaster route which got him there. From a Liverpool council estate to a well-intentioned decision which led him into the wrong scene.

    We talk about intervention, entrepreneurship in the underworld, warehouse robberies and a SIM card worth £250,000. Then we cover societal change, root causes and being at the end of a phone when the time comes.

    Episode 113: Fundraising Megatrends with Chris Innes
    2024/03/05
    "Organising a Careers Fair to find a job for myself."

    Tired from the hotel gym, Kenneth lets our guest do the heavy lifting as we discuss the megatrends which have impacted the fundraising environment. Confirmed BDIF, Chris Innes, joins us to talk through the findings from the IFL Forum which immediately preceded the IFC. Expect to tick the permacrisis, AI and the experience economy off your DMG bingo card, as well as confidently dropping a discussion point about truth and opinion into polite conversation later.

    We also talk through the big issues, including agreeing on the market leaders in flat pasta; the benefits of marrying your modern languages tutor; and how we're in the nice bit of the Artificial Inteligence movie.

  • Episode 112: A better approach to resilience with Helena Sharpstone

    Episode 112: A better approach to resilience with Helena Sharpstone
    2024/01/16
    "Targets, nasty people and shoulder pads"

    Kenneth has spent all his pocket money in the IFC tuck shop before we meet Helena Sharpstone (the only one on the internet) for a delightful conversation through her career, including her start in sales, an extended honeymoon period in non-profits and why she's investing her own pocket money in chilli plants.

    Before she reveals how taking an interview for a bet nearly horribly backfired, she talks about healing in the sector, how she finds there's more creativity when there's less resource, people adapting from difficult experiences and the similarities between sales and fundraising.

    Before closing we get to a far better approach to resilience, valuing your staff, why not everyone makes a good manager and squeeze in James' Annual Review.

  • Episode 111: Revolutionary times with Erica Chenoweth

    Episode 111: Revolutionary times with Erica Chenoweth
    2024/01/09
    "We're in revolutionary times"

    Kenneth and James flashed their access all areas passes to sneak backstage at IFC. They managed to grab a seat in the Press Room for a conversation between two big-hitters, Bill Toliver and Erica Chenoweth before the latter takes to the big stage for their plenary speech.

    They dive straight in talking people power; revolution; divide and rule; and power relations between our opponents. Erica describes the power of hope and the critical mass for societal change as well as describing their work writing a Phd in violent conflict. There’s the power and dangers of digital in movements and surveillance, the ice bucket challenge and the most beautiful mullets of 1983 before Kenneth made a pitch for ‘smartest person in the room’ by braving a question at the end (a valiant but doomed effort).

  • Episode 110: Our reaction to the Uncharitable movie at IFC2023

    Episode 110: Our reaction to the Uncharitable movie at IFC2023
    2023/11/23
    "People like their charity workers poor."

    We head to the bar at the International Fundraising Congress, and the corner marked 'Dull' for a conversation with Peter and Tash from DTV delving deep into the latest film release - Uncharitable. It's a feature-length movie building on Dan Pallotta's TED Talk, you know the one.

    We begin with dreams of being a film director and starting out roughing it at Goldman Sachs before diving into overheads, CEO pay, marketing, risk appetite and rushing to get a version released to show at IFC. We talk the best plenary sessions ever, differing views on funding and a focus on impact rather than income. We talk media reaction, how to reach policy makers and changing opinions on the high street to defend the sector.

    If you'd like to see the movie at the upcoming premieres in London and Sydney on Thursday 30th November 2023, then send an email to helloDTV@DTVgroup.co.uk and we'll see you there.
