In this special Social Impact Power Chat episode, I sit down with someone very close to my heart — my tremendously talented little brother Alex Kane. A self-described "AI Agent Hypeman," and tech sales talent par excellence, he's my go to call when I have a question on anything future-facing. Together, we dive into a dynamic conversation about how artificial intelligence has generated massive value in the corporate sector—and explore how those same tools, strategies, and innovations can (and should!) be applied to the social impact, philanthropy, and nonprofit worlds.

From predictive analytics to resource allocation and beyond, we unpack the potential for AI to be a powerful force for good when wielded with intention and purpose. Whether you’re a nonprofit leader, funder, or just AI-curious, this chat will leave you with fresh ideas and inspiration for what’s possible.
Tune in for some family banter, bold thought starters, a crazy story about how AI has helped Ophthalmologists advance their understanding of the human eye, and how YOU can be more tech-empowered in the future.

Welp, in the very LONG list of how the have impacted things around here, we have been very delayed in sharing any . This powerful chat, which was filmed in September of 2024(!)), and we’d planned to share in January, is now finally ready for your viewing pleasure.

We can also say… it was worth the wait, and couldn’t be better timed. In this chat, we sat down with the brilliant Claire Goldsmith. She’s a social entrepreneur, education expert and incredible board member. We discuss how to build a life that allows you to flex your purpose - from professional roles to nonprofit leadership opportunities - and how we can bring this type of synchronicity to our own lives. We also - presciently - discussed that it is always critical to be ready for your whole world to flip. How little did I know then that her words would resonate SO deeply with me today.

Kent is a big believer in the power of people to do amazing things (as am I!), and gives helpful food for thought on how to remove some of the administrative burden that often gets in the way of people accomplishing their best good work.

Friends - like me, you probably noticed fewer cause marketing ads at this year's Super Bowl.

Here's my quick take: while the number of purpose-centered ads may be down, this *might* actually be a good thing for impact. Curious to hear your POVs...

P.S. It wasn't a total purpose vacuum ... well done Google, Dove, and Pfizer!

Thank you for the opportunity, CSQ.

2023’s Super Bowl marked a sharp decline in cause marketing. Instead of impact, the focus was largely fixed on lighthearted entertainment – ads featured celebrity appearances, silly songs, and heartwarming stories
