In 25 years, I honed my experience in enterprise risk and investment management at corporations such as BlackRock, Barclays Global Investors, Visa, and GE.

| 08 Sep 2021 | Episode 25: An interview with Anna Schardt Baker founder of Three Story Strategies | 00:25:35 | |
Join Lori and Anna Schardt Baker as they talk about building relationships and engagement between a nonprofit and its audience. Anna specializes in communications and content strategy primarily for nonprofits. How has she helped various causes connect with the people that they needed? Stay tuned!
Here are the things to expect in this episode:
About Anna Schardt Baker:
Hi, I’m Anna.
While I always have a magazine, book or Kindle in hand, my love of words extends well beyond prolific reading and writing. As a communicator and storyteller I’m fascinated by how information is organized, presented and consumed. I’m also a “nonprofit girl” at heart, one who feels most at home when working for a great cause.
After I earned my B.A. in Professional Writing from Carnegie Mellon University (ask me about the great city of Pittsburgh!), I enjoyed a four-year stint in educational publishing before transitioning to nonprofit marketing communications. Over the next decade I held a progressive series of leadership roles that focused on digital engagement, strategic communications and storytelling.
In 2017 I took a big, deep breath and leapt into independent consulting. I founded Three Story Strategies, and today I serve a variety of clients in the nonprofit, association and agency spaces. While much of my experience is in the realms of public health and patient education, I love to apply my experience to new topics and industries.
I live just miles from our nation’s capital in Arlington, Virginia, with my darling husband, three energetic children and two overly affectionate cats. But one of the best parts about my work is that it can take me anywhere.
When you hire Three Story Strategies, you get the big-picture vision of an experienced strategist combined with the attention to detail you’d expect from a professional writer and editor. I pride myself on high standards, rigorous project management, devotion to deadlines and love of style guides. Whether it’s through a case study, annual report or blog series — let’s tell your organization’s story, together!

Here are the things to expect in this episode:
About Slides with Friends: We were elbow-deep in growing a startup when the 2020 pandemic hit. We went from a big team in multiple cities and growing, to doing one tenth of our revenue. We dropped our growth plans and moved everything we could remote. All hands meetings were the hardest. Personally, we were lucky to be able to quarantine in our home. Feeling close with friends and family was the hardest. We started building Slides as a side project that was part wishful thinking, part wish fulfillment. We wanted to make being far from all of our people easier. We wanted to make meetings smoother and more fun. We wanted to have video calls with our friends without talking over each other or getting zoom fatigue. We wanted my mom's birthday to still be special. And we wanted to help everyone going through this to have those things, as well. So this is a presentation tool that's got a bigger goal; keeping people connected while apart. We hope it can help you do that too.

| 06 Oct 2021 | Episode 29: An Interview with Michelle Dickinson CEO of Trifecta Mental Health | 00:23:26 | |
Join Lori and Michelle Dickinson in this conversation about emotional and mental resilience. With the world coming out of a pandemic, how has Michelle helped different organizations and their employees? What were her programs that encouraged people to stay empowered and engaged? Stay tuned! Here are the things to expect in this episode:
About Michelle Dickinson: Michelle E. Dickinson is a passionate mental health advocate, a TED speaker, and a published author of a memoir entitled Breaking Into My Life. After years of playing the role of child caregiver, Michelle embarked on her own healing journey of self-discovery. Her memoir offers a rare glimpse into a young girl’s experience living with—and loving—her bipolar mother. Michelle spent years working to eradicate the mental health stigma within her own workplace by elevating compassion, causing more open conversations, and leading real change in how mental illness is understood in the workplace and within the first responder community. She also knows first-hand what it feels like to struggle with a mental illness after experiencing her own depression due to challenging life events of her own. Michelle recently concluded her 19-year pharmaceutical career and she has emerged with a strong desire to positively impact the mental health landscape. Michelle is also committed to improving the lives of youth. As a past volunteer with Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA), The Make A Wish Foundation, and serving as big sister with the Big Brothers / Big Sisters, elevating the wellbeing of our youth matters to her. Michelle’s volunteer work led her to create her own children’s program called Perfect, Just the Way You Are. This program was designed to help youth better understand how to Nourish the Body and the Mind and has reached over 2,000 children and their families in NJ, NY, and PA over the past 5 years. The program recently evolved into a school-wide and student-led mental health wellness fair. Her intentions are to touch as many children’s lives with this program so that children proactively develop a healthy relationship to brain health. Connect with Michelle!

During the nine years she lived in DC, Farra worked on fundraising and social marketing for the National Breast Cancer Coalition, Planned Parenthood Federation of America, and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. In 2002, Farra moved to San Francisco and dove into the wonderful world of online fundraising with Donordigital.

About Ashlee Sang:
I found my way to marketing and communications via an unconventional mix of Anthropology, Linguistics, and French at Washington University in St. Louis. (All of which influence my current work, believe it or not.)
Before launching my business full-time in 2019, I worked with nonprofits, including a law school alumni department, an international headquarters of a human rights education NGO, and a county branch of Habitat for Humanity. I also freelanced on the side for many years, not knowing at the time that I was preparing for entrepreneurship.
By combining these experiences with the conscious consumerism movement I was exploring in my personal life, I discovered brand messaging and marketing strategy and business for good. I’ve never looked back.
I’ve since worked with over 70 businesses on everything from brand development and media list building to content creation and copywriting, always with values and audience-driven messaging at the core.

| 09 Nov 2022 | Episode 64: An Interview with Vanessa Barboni Hallik, Founder and CEO of Another Tomorrow | 00:23:26 | |
Join Lori and her guest, Vanessa Barboni Hallik, as they discuss how entrepreneurs can incorporate philanthropy with sustainability in their businesses. Vanessa is the founder and CEO of Another Tomorrow, a B Corp Certified end-to-end sustainable design company. She talks about how her quest for her life's purpose led her to the world of fashion, where she uses sustainable and holistic practices as the foundation of her business. Stay tuned!
Here are the things to expect in this episode:
Another Another Tomorrow: I started Another Tomorrow in January 2018, while on a sabbatical from my former career in emerging markets finance. The original purpose of this break was to take a pause and reorient my career toward sustainable finance. However, as I began to dig deeper into the root problems of many of our global challenges, I was surprised and devastated by what I found in the apparel industry and its enormous impact on people, the environment, and animals. Clear information was difficult to come by, and the more I educated myself, finding clothing I felt good about became even harder. Realizing I couldn’t just ‘unknow’ what I now knew, I felt a responsibility and a purpose I couldn’t ignore. My mission is to create a truly sustainable and compassionate company with a three-pronged approach of providing a foundational wardrobe of ethically and responsibly made clothing, education, and a platform for activism to amplify our collective voices. Another Tomorrow is the result of an incredible collaborative effort across our team and suppliers around the world. I’m so grateful for each of them and look forward to introducing you to everyone who has helped bring this vision to life.

About Lori Kranczer: Hi, I am Lori. I am a legacy giving consultant that works with nonprofit professionals and leadership to create strong, sustainable legacy giving programs. I have always had a passion for philanthropy and was lucky to be able to apply my legal career to connect with the causes I love. I have been in the nonprofit space for 20 years, creating and running several substantial legacy program initiatives for large nonprofits. I started my consulting practice 2 years ago so that I can bring my expertise to many organizations to make their programs soar. I do this through several step-by-step programs that provides my clients everything they need to exceed their goals. When I am not helping nonprofit pros, I tinker with my creaky 100-year-old Victorian house in Brooklyn, NY, listen to 90s grunge music and chase after my 2 little "legacies."

| 07 Apr 2021 | Episode 02 - An Interview with Jennifer Sapel CEO of UTOR Wealth | 00:25:54 | |
Join Lori and her guest, Jennifer Sapel, as they talk about our money mindset. Jennifer is the CEO of Utor Wealth, which primarily helps women financial decisions with confidence. Women can live a life of abundance as much as men do! But in that life of abundance, it’s also critical to find ways to give back. How does Jennifer enable her clients to be in that position? Stay tuned.
Here are the things to expect in the episode:
About Jennifer Sapel: I’ve done my fair share of wrestling with money. Growing up, it was a subject wrapped in a lot of mystery and stress. As a type A first born, I initially went to the other extreme, dedicated to conquering it, I bought my first home at 21 years old. Then after almost two decades of working in financial services professionally, I realized I, and people like me, weren’t the only one who needed a perspective change around money. We’ve got some work to do in most of our systems: education, financial services, and families….to make healthier decisions around money. Most of what we see and learn about personal finance are a series of quantifiable do’s and don’ts. Many financial plans are just elaborate spreadsheets projecting different scenarios in the future. These are helpful tools that often fall short of acknowledging life is often messier than the neat cells of an excel worksheet. Along with Utor Wealth, I’m a wife to Kansas born Melvin. We live on a few acres in the PacNW with our two boys under age 3 (this is where systems are critical), two dogs (Jack & Jill), modest whiskey collection, and lego filled home. As a family, we love to travel, dabble in the garden, eat, laugh, ride bikes and host informal gatherings (at least pre/post pandemic) where we can do as many of these things at once.
