People in Fundraising, Season 2, Ep. 17: Cannon Brooke, Brooke Solutions

Originally recorded in summer 2023: Cannon Brooke covers a fascinatingly broad range of topics in our "People in Fundraising" conversation. It's exciting, and an honor, to share our chat with our audience. We go from working remotely to Artificial Intelligence to "recreational outrage" on LinkedIn to Zoom fatigue, and then to difficult work conversations and creating meaningful meetings and sunk-cost fallacies while name-dropping Arthur Brooks, Noam Chomsky, and Freddie Mercury.

Cannon is a data sommelier and data analytics leader who recently launched his own prospect development nonprofit consulting firm, Brooke Solutions.

The latter part of our 45-minute chat focuses on A.I., the "hype cycle" of technological developments, and ethical concerns about using these advances in our social impact endeavors. I am so impressed by Cannon's well-rounded and topically current interests in nonprofit and societal issues.
