Hello and welcome to Morning FUEL, I am your host John Bundy
And you are here because you believe in the power of the spoken word and its ability to change lives. AND that by sharing our stories we can help others to overcome challenges that they cannot overcome on their own. Whether it’s a victory you need to win in business or in your own personal life you understand that the answers can be found in listening to others who are willing to share their stories knowing that their story ultimately doesn’t belong to them.
Alright, today’s guest…Wanting to get away from the corporate world and realizing how much his sales background could apply to fundraisers, he realized that fundraisers are the best salespeople around because they believe in their product. However, he also had the revelation that nonprofits do not adequately set people up for success. He found his niche. His favorite thing about what he does is, the many people he gets to meet and the diverse ways they want to help and the chance he has to make a difference in their lives.
His methods for keeping productive are, Writing a lot. Networking. and raising a teenage son.
When asked what advice he would offer to others aspiring to succeed as a business owner he replied, “Become a great storyteller. Whether you are pitching a product, sharing an idea, or building your village, people long to hear a great story.”
