In case you weren’t sure, I love my kids! So, when I had the idea of doing a Kids Sermons Podcast, the first person I went to was Nachshon. I am sure Betzalel will end up doing an episode next, but for now, I thought that he would be a good person to work with. […]

The $54,000 Strategy, Step 2- Making Change Happen

Launching a nonprofit venture is one of the most powerful and fulfilling ways we can make a difference. So, how can you build a nonprofit that will transform your personal passion for social change - from that first a-ha moment when inspiration strikes, into an impactful, well funded and managed organization? How can you keep your vision alive from your first proudest moments of founding to the gut-wrenching milestone of passing on the reins of leadership at the right time? These are some of the questions that are discussed in The Art of Doing Good: Where Passion Meets Action (Jossey Bass, 2012) by Charles Bronfman and Jeffrey Solomon of The Andrea and Charles Bronfman Philanthropies. In this episode of Smorgasbord, JCast Network Executive Director and host Darone Ruskay speaks with the authors to learn more about the book and their vision of social entrepreneurism.

Clogging The Tubes Beta Episode

This episode of The JCast Journey, also serves as the first episode of Smorgasbord. In this episode, host Darone Ruskay talks about his experience recently at a lecture and a conversation he had afterwards. While sitting at the lecture he wondered where a lecture like that one, could fit into JCast Network. And then afterwards, he spoke with someone who wanted to blog on JCast Network, but didn’t feel like he could take on a solo blog, but would prefer a group blog. After thinking about both experiences, Darone decided it was time to launch “Smorgasbord”. Smorgasbord will be a podcast of “one-offs” interesting lectures, conversations, essays, interviews… Things that are not ready for their own podcast (although they may become one over time) but are important and interesting, and should be shared with the larger community.
