    Ep. 30 Master Your Vibe - Building Meaningful Connections that Last

    In this episode of Thinking CAAP, Beck Moore and Heather Holloway are joined by relational health expert and former U.S. Marine Becca Spahr for a powerful conversation about social connection—and why it may be one of the most overlooked drivers of individual, organizational, and community wellbeing. Together, they explore social health as the "third pillar" alongside physical and mental health, drawing from research, lived experience, and real-world leadership lessons. From the science behind belonging and psychological safety to the impact of social capital in community action and workplaces, this episode unpacks why connection isn't a "nice to have"—it's foundational. Becca shares insights from her 20-year Marine Corps career, lessons from Blue Zones around the world, and practical guidance for leaders who want to build trust, reduce burnout, and create environments where people feel safe, valued, and motivated to show up fully. The conversation also tackles leadership styles, accountability, authenticity, and what happens when leaders are promoted without support or training. Whether you're leading a team, serving your community, or simply rethinking how relationships shape outcomes, this episode offers grounding perspective and practical takeaways for building stronger, healthier connections where they matter most.

    Ep. 28 Fundraising with Purpose: Relationships at the Center

    When people think of fundraising, they often picture high-powered galas or million-dollar checks, but for Joe Cuozzo, it all comes back to relationships. In this episode, Beck Moore and Heather Holloway sit down with the Director of Development at Bucks County Opportunity Council to talk about what fundraising looks like when it's rooted in community, trust, and real conversation. With more than two decades in the field, Joe shares candid reflections on what works, what doesn't, and what actually builds long-term support. From starting without a CRM to navigating the quirks of Venmo donors and Zoom asks, Joe offers grounded, practical advice for nonprofits of all sizes, even those just getting started. It's a conversation filled with humility, humor, and the reminder that donors aren't ATMs, they're people. And when you treat them like people, good things happen.
