   9/23/26: Featured Stories: Could AI Pose an Existential Threat? And Rethinking the Board’s Role in Fundraising.

   September 23, 2026: After the news, Jeff Jarvis, veteran journalist and author, Emeritus Leonard Tow Professor of Journalism Innovation at CUNY’s Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism, and co-host of AI Inside, joins us to examine the escalating warnings that advanced artificial intelligence could pose an existential threat to humanity—and his skepticism about what he sees as AI “doomerism” and moral panic. We explore whether fears of superintelligent AI are justified, the assumptions behind the latest warnings, the real risks AI presents today, and how society should think about regulation, risk, and the technology’s potential. Then fundraising expert Gail Perry discusses her new book, Easy Fundraising and Friendmaking for Board Members: How to Raise Friends and Funds for Your Cause, and a different way to engage board members in fundraising—one that focuses less on asking for money and more on opening doors, building genuine relationships, connecting people with the mission, and turning friends into supporters.

Then Bob Carter, CFRE, chairman of Carter and author of Unfinished: Lessons in Recovery, Leadership, Philanthropy, and Purpose, reflects on his remarkable personal and professional journey, the lessons he has learned through recovery and more than four decades in philanthropy, and what it means to continue learning, listening, leading, and finding purpose in a life still in progress.

Published 3 Apr 2025 · Transcript excerpt

[…] Yeah, that's a great question. So I'll try. We are going to call him right back. There you go. Multiple problems today. But four years ago, we started a pilot program with four stations. And we introduced mid and major gifts into the full array of strategies for the nonprofit. What we saw was a 50 % increase in mid and major gifts in just one year, because we started introducing mid and major gift strategies into the station. So they saw huge revenue increase. They saw more donors engaged. They saw low nutrition rates. It totally changed their program. And they were still able to do everything they did on the membership side. […]
