People in Fundraising, Season 2, Ep. 23: Rachael Walker, Prospect Development Guru

Recorded in fall 2023: Prospect Development Guru Rachael Dietrich Walker is my next guest in "People in Fundraising." She discusses her love of "anything to do with the written word," per her LinkedIn, and how that curiosity led to synergies with prospect research.

Rachael covers:

* Trying to put curiosity to productive use, and what parameters, like a timer, help Rachael

* Being not afraid of the AI revolution, since "computers don't have curiosity." :-)

* Rachael's goal, as a breast cancer survivor, to fund nonprofits that research the intersection of this disease and mental health, which is currently not funded well

* Rachael's openness in discussing ADH and being neurodivergent

* Her reaction to Bono of U2's distinction between an "activist" and an "actualist."
