    Episode 125: Rethinking communities with Nathan Atkinson, co-counder of Rethink Food.

    "All behaviour is a form of communication" We kick off with tales of multiplying Australians and Christmas Day parkruns, trips to the football and a short-lived, pre-ban career as a TikTok influencer before delving into fighting for the underdog, the call of teaching, and how very few things in life are truly original. We get into how supporting a child, then a class and finally a community, all began with a bulk order of toasters. We use a trojan carrot to save the planet, use food to create connections and trick parents into learning by seeing people as a whole.  --- You can support the show through Patreon and find us on www.domoregood.uk or follow us on Instagram.

    Episode 124: Giving away £100m with Mark Constantine OBE, Co-founder of LUSH

    "I learnt there is so much kindness in the world." It’s the Christmas Special so we’re joined by the self-made entrepreneur responsible for £100m of gifts to good causes, Mark Constantine OBE. Obviously, we’re straight in to advent calendars and mutual admiration for Snickers Bars, before we delve into Mark’s early life experiences, including being made homeless at sixteen and the reasons why LUSH will always accept cash. There’s the journey from Bond Street to Bond Street, styling Anna Wintour and travelling to New York on horseback. We talk through aligning business and environmental philosophies; the tricky business of avoiding the grant-giving process; and who ensures the money ends up in the right hands. We find the entrepreneurial spirit, seek a virtuous circle and bask in the delight of recipriocation. --- You can support the show through Patreon and find us on www.domoregood.uk or follow us on Instagram.

    Episode 123: Taking risks, being bold and not having the budget to be boring with Tim Parry

    “I still bleed orange¨ This week Kenneth is flying solo on a nostalgic episode, reminiscing with former Director of Communications, Brand and Digital at Alzheimer’s Research UK.  They get into growing up with an organisation, being in the right place at the right time in a risk-averse charity that needed to take risks to garner attention and becoming BFFs with Samuel L Jackson (yes, that one). There’s the weight of an orange and the size of Wales, connecting with your audience, pitching to the trustees, removing the jargon and learning to listen.  --- You can support the show through Patreon and find us on www.domoregood.uk or follow us on Instagram.

    Episode 122: Finding joy in a portfolio career with Sue Anstiss MBE

    “Sod it, give it a go¨ As one of our favourite past guests, we were delighted to catch up with PR mogul, podcaster, documentary producer, author and champion of women's sport, Sue Anstiss. So much so, that Kenneth dialled in from prison. We talk hyrox and alcohol detox; sweating like a chicken; repeating the golden age; and finding the joy in play. There's writing your own introduction, the power of consistency and the importance of language - something that Lilly (aged seven) would undoubtedly appreciate.  --- You can support the show through Patreon and find us on www.domoregood.uk or follow us on Instagram.

    Episode 121: Building a proper LinkedIn network with Michelle Benson

    “I'm not chasing, I'm going to be found¨ As a confirmed Big Deal on Linked In, Michelle Benson joins us to talk us through the site's shift from job site to relationship building forum. We get into the opportunity to bypass the Comms Team, how everyone is a lurker and the sad death of the giant cheque. Michelle goes back to her humble first gig - working on a disruptive Nike campaign in Manhattan - and subsequent career built upon doing things differently. We pick up a shopping trolley, adapt to our environment and pick up some tips on breaking out of the echo chamber. Pour yourself a bubble bath, turn off your air con and build a proper network.  --- You can support the show through Patreon and find us on www.domoregood.uk or follow us on Instagram.

    Episode 119: The art of communication with Ishbel Smith

    "Stories are a blend of information and emotion" It's breakfast on day two at the Scottish Fundraising Conference and we're joined by Ishbel Smith to talk through the power and importance of storytelling in everything we do. Thanks to her experience as a commercial litigator turned third-sector consultant, we've got competitive debating on the world stage, distilling our connection to a cause, immersing yourself in knowledge and forest-eating rabbits. We talk about being curious, how to persuade, listening effectively and the three reasons we tell stories. There's just enough time to squeeze in the stories we tell ourselves, the comedians we are officially funnier than and (if you've got this far) our shortening attention spans. All delivered laden with Ishbel's passion shining through - impressive for such an early start.

    Episode 118: The price of everything, the value of nothing with Scottish Fundraising Conference plenary speaker Anna Fowlie

    "We need to talk about what goes wrong so we can learn" Anna Fowlie, the CEO of the SCVO took to the stage on Wednesday morning in Glasgow, kicking off day two of the Scottish Fundraising Conference. We caught up with her the night before to talk through her journey to the plenary stage.  We found a passion for mediaeval Islamic and European art and architecture, references to Oscar Wilde and tips for first-time conference attendees - but we also strayed off-topic into the pressure of representing thousands of organisations, taking up the big seat as chief executive, making policy decisions which affect lives and dreams for the government to do the same. We meet the posh kids from school, discuss our first gigs and make a call for investment in the sector before it's time to get dressed up for the awards.
