Rowan Vansleve came to Los Angeles as a backpacker. After seeing the stark contrast between the city’s wealth and people living on its streets, he decided to stay.

Today, he leads Hope the Mission and Los Angeles Mission, providing thousands of beds and millions of meals each year to people experiencing homelessness.

From running hundreds of miles through the desert to completing 50 marathons in 90 days, Rowan has found extraordinary ways to raise awareness for the cause.

In this episode, he shares what he’s learned about homelessness, the limits of one-size-fits-all solutions, and why lasting change starts with dignity, love, and respect.

Three companies. Three totally different industries. One founder who keeps figuring out what's broken and fixing it.

Robert Wolfe and his brother Jeffrey co-founded Moosejaw, the outdoor retailer later acquired by Walmart. Then he partnered with Edward Norton to build CrowdRise, one of the platforms that helped shape how online fundraising works today, before GoFundMe acquired it in 2017.

Now he's back with Zeck, rethinking how boards actually communicate and make decisions.

In this episode, hosted by Jay Frost, we trace that whole journey, starting with his Michigan roots, through Moosejaw, CrowdRise, and now Zeck.

Give it a listen. 🎧 https://hubs.la/Q04tljmP0

Some campaigns feel like a natural yes. Others just don't land, no matter how good the cause is. Turns out there's a reason, and it comes down to an equation: (P+G) × (C+S+U)/B.

Brian Gawor (Founder, Giving Geek Consulting) breaks down the social science behind bigger gifts in Cracking the Giving Code: The Science Behind Bigger Gifts, on How to Raise.

You'll leave with real tactics to boost donor response, grounded in research, not guesswork.
