  • 11: What Fly Fishing Taught Me About Winning Grants
    2026/08/25
    Some lessons about winning grants do not come from a boardroom or a textbook. In this solo episode of Winning the Public Purse, David Kincade draws a surprisingly sharp line between his fly fishing hobby and the patterns he has watched play out across 14 years of professional grant writing and over 174 students in his Advanced Grant Writing Course. Equal parts practical and personal, this episode connects fly fishing, high cholesterol, productivity grants, and leadership into one of the more honest conversations David has had to date on the podcast. David is heading back to Lacombe in September for one more live cohort, and he can help you secure a training grant to offset the tuition (as of the time of this recording, there are still a couple of spots left)! Reach out to David by email at davidk@albertabusinessgrants.ca, or by phone at 780-297-6177 to learn more. Ready to transform grant writing into a predictable pillar of your success?

  • 10: August Dreamin', Fall Winning
    2026/08/11

    August can feel like a lost month. Guests reschedule, C-suites disappear, and the grind slows to a crawl. In this reflective solo episode of Winning the Public Purse, David Kincade makes the case that the slow season is actually one of the most important times of year for grant writers, and for anyone building something worth funding.

    For non-profit leaders, grant writers, and anyone who has ever felt guilty for slowing down in August, this one reframes the whole month.

    David is heading back to Lacombe in September for one more live cohort, and he can help you secure a training grant to offset the tuition. Reach out to David by email at davidk@albertabusinessgrants.ca to learn more.

    Highlights From This Episode:

    • Why August is the number one vacation month for C-suites, and what grant writers need to have sorted before summer hits [1:10]

    • The case for using August to think deeply rather than grind harder, and why competitive grants reward the people who planned ahead [2:31]

    • An example of what David's subconscious mind helped him build and offer to clients of his [7:07]

    • The agricultural grant that was initially declined, turned around by one relationship-building suggestion, and eventually won for $26,000 [14:39]

    • Why David has journaled every August for 6 years, and how looking back on those notes has shaped his biggest decisions [10:34]

    • David reads an original poem written at a Cape Breton farmhouse, and ties it back to what August is really for [19:56]

  • 09: 3 Grant Writing Tips for Summer 2026: How to Stay Ahead When Everyone Else Is on Vacation
    2026/07/28

    Grant season doesn't slow down in July, but some organizations do. In this mid-summer solo episode of Winning the Public Purse, David Kincade cuts through the summer fog with three practical tips designed to save you pain later. Because the best grant application in the world, as David puts it, is a submitted one.

    Today we look at how government fiscal years actually drive grant timelines, why August is the worst possible month to chase down a letter of reference, and how building a simple impact dashboard can quietly strengthen every application you submit. David also shares what it looks like when a student turns a $5,000 course investment into $741,000 in grants within 15 months, and why that kind of result starts with the unglamorous work you do in the off-season.

    If you are currently mid-application or just keeping the lights on until fall, this episode is a useful reminder that the groundwork never really stops.

    David is heading back to Lacombe in September for one more live cohort, and he can help you secure a training grant to offset the tuition. Reach out to David by email at davidk@albertabusinessgrants.ca to learn more.
