Meet Mike, CEO of BuildGood 🤝. He’s here to share a thoughtful, grounded approach to fundraising in uncertain times.

In this episode, we dig into why “Today’s growth comes from today’s donors” isn’t just a clever phrase—it’s a mindset shift. From the game-changing nine-word email to the fundraising flywheel and the power of donor celebration, Mike’s sharing practical strategies that can turn transactional giving into transformational relationships.

He also offers insight into identifying multi-year supporters and using donor surveys to surface major gift potential—reminding us that growth doesn’t have to come from starting over, but from going deeper with the people already in your corner.

With a gentle reminder that consistency is key, Mike uses the analogy of gardening to illustrate how small, steady actions build trust over time. And in a world leaning into automation, he makes a compelling case for the enduring power of human connection.

Tune in for thoughtful insights and practical strategies to deepen donor relationships and fundraise with more intention. 🎧
