Listen "Episode 12: Behind the Mic – Personal Reflections from Courtney Forkum"
Episode Synopsis
In this solo episode of The Giving Nook, our host Courtney Forkum, is stepping behind the mic to share personal reflections from launching both this podcast and her nonprofit consulting firm, The Philanthropy Place, and what these past few months have taught her about leadership, fundraising, and showing up with heart.
She opens up about the vision behind The Giving Nook, the moments that surprised her, and the powerful themes that emerged from conversations with nonprofit leaders, fundraisers, and changemakers. From the vulnerability of starting something new to the importance of alignment in fundraising, this episode is part gratitude letter, part real-talk reflection, and a sneak peek for what is to come in season two.
