  9/11 Day: 25 Years in the Making 01.09.2026 28min

  What does it mean to turn a day of unimaginable tragedy into a day of service?In my latest episode, I chat with David Paine, co-founder and president of 9/11 Day, as the organization prepares for the 25th anniversary of September 11.I asked David about the massive national service effort planned for this year's anniversary, why hunger relief has become such an important part of the organization's work, and how we can continue to make 9/11 meaningful for generations who weren't alive when the attacks happened.We also talk about the incredible partnerships behind 9/11 Day, what happens when the anniversary passes, and how the organization navigates the conspiracy theories that continue to surround the attacks.This was one of those conversations that left me thinking about the role nonprofits can play in turning remembrance into action.Listen to the episode wherever you get your podcasts.Listen to this episode on Apple here: https://bit.ly/Ep83TheNonprofitInsiderPodcastAppleListen to this episode on Spotify here: https://bit.ly/Ep83TheNonprofitInsiderPodcastSpotifyBe sure to visit episode sponsor Bay Business Group here: https://bay-biz.com/Bay Business Group for nonprofits here: https://bay-biz.com/non-profits/#

  A Rant: Why I Hate State Lotteries (and the DC-Based Nonprofit on My Naughty List) 11.03.2026 21min

  I hate the lottery. Let’s start there.The average American household spends $665 per year playing state-run lottery games. In fact, Americans spent $105.26 billion on lottery tickets last year alone, making the lottery the most popular form of gambling in the United States.In today’s episode, I talk about why I despise state-run lotteries, why states should stop running them altogether, and why governments should spend more time regulating—and taxing—private gambling enterprises instead of operating their own.Plus, I take aim at the broader reality of legalized gambling in America and explain why the National Council on Problem Gambling continues to deserve the criticism it receives. My reasonings are simple: When you are in bed, directly receiving money from the entities profiting from the gambling industry (i.e. the NFL, DraftKings, BetMGM, ESPN BET, Barstool Sportsbook), you are operating in a less-than-ideal fashion.Listen to the episode on Apple here: https://bit.ly/Ep73TheNonprofitInsiderPodcastAppleListen to the episode on Spotify here: https://bit.ly/Ep73TheNonprofitInsiderPodcastSpotifyAnd be sure to subscribe to us however you take on media:YouTube-https://bit.ly/TheNonprofitInsiderPodcastYouTubeShortsInstagram-bit.ly/TheNonprofitInsiderPodcastInstagramTikTok-https://bit.ly/TheNonprofitInsiderPodcastTikTok
