The best fundraising videos I've worked on started with listening. Real people, real stories, one clear message. We wrote up how we plan them ahead of Giving Tuesday.
A recap video is a great way to say thank you. A fundraising video has a different job: helping donors feel why their gift matters and who it reaches.
Giving Tuesday is Dec 1. Here's how we approach both, with examples from our work with Indian Creek School.

With @CottageComs, I spent a day and a half in Sanford, NC with Michelle and Nathan Maust of Homespun Honey.
We had a plan on our drive down.
When we go there, we threw out our plan, followed the bees, and let the quiet do the work.

"What do you need from us before we start?"
We hear it all the time. Mostly a conversation: your goal, your audience, where the video will live, and any videos you love. Skip the deck.

This is fraud!
Double Stuf Oreos aren't double stuffed. A high school math teacher in Queensbury, New York had his class weigh 10 of each kind, then weigh the plain wafers separately and subtract them out. Double Stuf came in at 1.86 times the filling of a regular Oreo. Mega Stuf came in at 2.68.
Nabisco said the recipe calls for double the creme and they weren't familiar with what happened in the classroom. Insider ran the same test later and got about the same number.

It’s amazing watching @fuboTV just quietly dominate through this ridiculous @espn @Google @YouTubeTV adventure.

Has VICE come full circle? From millennials critiquing the world to VICE critiquing millennials. Not with a bang, but a whisper I guess.

TLDR; “I was wrong”
Almost a decade ago I was the Harvard economist that said that bitcoin was more likely to be worth $100 than 100k. What did I miss? I was far too optimistic about the US coming to its senses about sensible cryptocurrency regulation; why would policymakers want to facilitate tax evasion and illegal activities? Second, I did not appreciate how Bitcoin would compete with fiat currencies to serve as the transactions medium of choice in the twenty-trillion dollar global underground economy. This demand puts a floor on its price, as I discuss at length in my new book Our Dollar, Your Problem. Third, I did not anticipate a situation where regulators, and especially the regulator in chief, would be able to brazenly hold hundreds of millions (if not billions) of dollars in cryptocurrencies seemingly without consequence given the blatant conflict of interest.

Watching Vegas struggle isn’t surprising. It’s surprising people didn’t see sin city pricing itself out of the every day sinner.
Especially when you can just use AI to pick bets on @DKSportsbook.
Here’s to you, $2 parlays, here’s to you.

As someone whose baseball expertise tops out at appreciating the beer and hot dogs, here’s my recap on yesterday’s picks: Decisions based on team records, pitcher ERAs, home edges & vibes—why trust data over intuition?
Hits (got right): Astros won over Marlins, Giants won over Pirates, Phillies won over Orioles, Red Sox won over Royals, Brewers won over Braves, Rangers won over Yankees, Blue Jays won over Rockies, Padres won over D-backs.
Misses (got wrong): Twins won over Tigers, Athletics won over Nationals, Guardians won over Mets, Reds won over Cubs, Rays won over Angels.
Lessons: Overestimated favorites—why ignore hot streaks or injuries? Next week: Dig deeper into recent form & bullpens

Man, do I love stopping by College Park and rubbing that Terrapin's head for some good luck. That must be why they’ve had so many greats come out of Maryland! I bet you guys didn’t know I was such a big basketball fan.
Thanks @TerpsFootball and @TerrapinHoops for the gear. Keep it up Coach Locksley and Coach Williams!
