He has always been unapologetically himself and an inspiration to me. We talk about growing up in church, what it’s like to have people gravitate to you, divorce, Tony Robbins, and more.

In this episode, I chat with Rhea Wong – a nonprofit consultant, author, and stand-up comedian, about raising money for nonprofits and the emotional connection between nonprofits and comedy. 80% of successful fundraising comes from the mindset. Unfortunately, many nonprofits operate from a scarcity mindset. It’s in the name “non-profit” so it makes sense.   Rhea talks about how to successfully raise funds with an emotional connection and not by treating donors like walking ATMs. She recently came out with a book called “Get That Money, Honey!: The No-Bullsh*t Guide to Raising More Money For Your Nonprofit.” It’s full of everything she has learned about fundraising over the last 20 years – seriously, everything! She shares it all because she genuinely wants to see nonprofits succeed.   Get the book on Amazon!   Connect with Rhea: Instagram   We are cutting it close, but you can still get tickets to You Are The Brand Live!
