Summary:
Clark's back on the mic—recorded just before heading to Guatemala—and reflecting on gratitude, career courage, and what it means to be all in. Whether you’re planning your next donor visit or questioning your fit in your current role, this episode will challenge you to examine your alignment and make the next right move.

You'll hear how a hostel in Antigua ties into Clark’s personal story and why where you sit matters—not just for you, but for your donors, your mission, and your long-term impact.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Why gratitude is a fundraiser’s secret weapon

  • The two questions every development officer should ask themselves

  • What Steve Jobs, Marlin Burnham, and a Guatemalan hostel have to do with your career path

  • The cost of staying in the wrong seat—and the joy of finding the right one

  • How to know if it's time to quit (or lean in deeper)

Quotable Moment:

“If you're not all in, you're just delaying yourself. You’re building donor relationships you’re not going to keep. That’s a bummer—for you and for them.”
