In this episode, Rob sits down with Kevin Mehrer, Development Director at Scouting America’s Northern Lights Council, to talk about the real magic in fundraising: focus, relationships, and human connection.
Kevin shares:
• Why unscalable, personal touches matter more than ever
• How to avoid burnout by asking for help and protecting your energy
• The danger of transactional giving (and what to do instead)
• How wildly important goals (WIGs) help fight mission creep
• The underestimated power of mentorship and adaptability
Whether you’re fundraising solo or leading a team, this episode will help you quiet the noise and zero in on what actually moves the needle.
