This episode is for the nonprofit leader doing “all the right things” (you’ve got peer fundraisers, events, email blasts, major donor asks) but you're still not hitting your campaign goals. Sound familiar? It’s not your fault. It’s your foundation.

I recorded this episode fresh off the launch of The Purpose and Profit Club®, and after talking to so many of you, I noticed the same trap over and over: layering modern tactics on top of weak campaigns. If your messaging isn’t emotionally resonant, your campaign lacks urgency, or your structure is shaky, no amount of frosting will save it. In this episode, I break down why your campaign might feel like a “collapsed cake,” what a high-converting campaign looks like, and how my SPRINT Method™ helps you build a strategy that actually works (without the burnout or overwhelm). If you're tired of working harder for diminishing returns, this is the clarity you need.

Topics:

• Why visibility alone doesn’t drive conversion
• What weak campaigns actually look and feel like
• The “collapsed cake” metaphor and what it means for fundraisers
• The difference between emotion vs. passivity in donor messaging
• Why urgency and relevance matter more than volume
• Tactics that don’t work without a strong foundation
• Why layering on social media, peer fundraising, or ads won’t fix poor structure
• The SPRINT Method™: what it is and who it’s for
