With so much uncertainty, I wanted to find a way to add value to you, non-profit leaders. I figured I'd create these Weekly Emails I call Monday Motivational Minute because Mondays are historically the roughest days, and a minute . . . well because you're very busy people. In these, I'll add creative, quick, actionable takeaways for you to try (All in a minute read). No pressure, no need to respond, read at your leisure or unsubscribe if it doesn't add value.(Challenge Accepted ☺️)

Happy First Annual 2025 MMM Award Show!

YOU SURVIVED 2025!

I know, I know, Thanks to someone whose name rhymes with Trump, you BARELY survived.

This year was brutal. Federal funding cuts. Staffing crises. Impossible decisions. Held together by pennies, prayer, and pure passion. But survived you did, nonetheless! 🙌

And in celebration of existence, Monday Motivational Minute also survived this year! In almost a year, we delivered about 50 emails packed with the best AI nonprofit tips, grew to over 245 loyal nonprofit leaders (and counting), and Monday Motivational Minute became the #1 AI newsletter for nonprofits in Colorado!

Picture this journey: A year ago, many of you didn't even know what a prompt was. Now you're using AI to write grants, manage donors, and reclaim hours every week. That's INSANE progress!

You should be extremely proud of yourself!

Sooooo to celebrate, I want to award the BEST OF THE BEST posts of the year, the ones that resonated most with you, got shared like crazy, or secretly changed how you view AI:

Remember: Next year's success depends on this year's recovery. If you don't pause to appreciate your survival, you'll enter 2026 already drained. Celebrate that you're still standing. That resilience is your competitive advantage

I humbly thank you so so much for trusting me to guide your AI journey, and most importantly, support your amazing mission.

P.S. Know another NPO leader holding it all together with grit and grace? If you find value in this, pay it forward. Forward this their way. We’re not meant to lead alone, and together, we go farther.
