What does legacy really mean? For some, it's the ripple effect of lifting others.

Join me as I sit down with fundraising expert Marni Mandell, who shares how uncovering her passions involving women's leadership, legacy, and chutzpah connected her back to her own grandfather's legacy.

As president of Tupperware, he inspired countless women to become entrepreneurs by truly believing in their potential. Through a year-long listening tour, Marni heard stories of women who transformed their lives from humble beginnings into successful business leaders.

You'll Learn:

⭐ The sometimes unseen impact of creating content

⭐ Why owning our strengths is critical to serving others

⭐ How authentic relationships fuel successful fundraising

⭐ The HOPE philosophy: Help One Person Every Day

Key Insights:

Legacy Through Empowerment: True legacy isn't about personal achievement -it's about creating pathways for others to discover and own their strengths.

The Power of Belief: Tupperware's innovative policies (including requiring husbands to support their wives' businesses) created a movement that transformed women's economic independence.

Strength-Based Leadership: The story of Franny - a woman who could confidently articulate her strengths - demonstrates how self-awareness shapes both individual success and organizational culture.

Authentic Fundraising: Building genuine relationships removes the fear of "no" and creates sustainable impact through connection, not transaction.

Content as Legacy: Creating content may feel invisible in the moment, but its impact compounds over time as it reaches and transforms people you'll never meet.
