83. How to find opportunities in tough times, with Rob Woods and Ben Swart

Even major difficulties sometimes bring opportunities. This is the central theme of The Obstacle is the Way, by Ryan Holiday, a book Rob read in March 2020, and which he has found very helpful during the chaos since. As fundraisers continue to face yet more challenges brought on by the pandemic, Rob and Ben explore ideas to help you succeed in your fundraising, in spite of your challenges. They share examples of charities that have raised funds very successfully during the COVID crisis, precisely because they were able to search for and find opportunities, and they explain two practical things you can do to apply this concept in your own fundraising. If you’d like to get in touch or share this episode with other charities, THANK YOU VERY MUCH! You can find us both on Linked In and on twitter Ben is @benswart and Rob is @woods_rob.
