#141 Chris Schrader: Turning a Modest Charity into an 8-Figure Marathon for Change โ€“ Part One

Steve of mine, but a lot of us relegate our charitable activities to annual contributions to NGOs without really knowing too much about the mechanics of where that money is going. And I believe to some extent that it's much easier to write a check for a good cause than it is to actively engage with a particular issue.

Because of course, time is the most important is the most important commodity that anyone has. So we try and get the students to engage a bit more, to be a little bit more, to have a little bit more scrutiny in terms of thinking about where they put money and why, and understanding that there are trade-offs, and understanding that there is a market. This is something as well, I believe.

We live in a very morally scrupulous age where... Causes compete for primacy, but that combined with social media can be pretty bad in my opinion, right? Where on lots and lots of issues, people are forced to take a stance on a non-profit issue without really understanding anything about those dynamics.

And our view of the, sorry, Ferraris, for example, we're very clear with the student directors is our audience doesn't need to really know anything or care about human trafficking at all. Yeah, they don't need to know anything.

In fact, if we attract people to come to one of our events, to attract students to come to our events, because they think it's a big sleepover and there's a great music festival at night, which is true, we do that. That's fine. We're not trying to convince people to support us by making them feel bad that they're not taking a particular stance.

And quite frankly, if someone was to come to a race and say, I don't really care about human trafficking. I'm just going to buy boats from wherever I do, whatever. I don't think we try and judge them for it. At least that's what we advocate. Our job is to win you over in a positive way.

But we also respect that much like there are hundreds of different, I don't know, clothing brands that are trying to sell you their product. There are many charities, if not law, try to convince you that they're the ones that need support most.

We just operate in this wider marketplace of causes, and I figure that the best way to win over allies and people to our cause is by having the best time, by putting together the best events and by having the greatest community. And if people don't engage with the cause, that's fine too. I feel like we have a much larger impact in any case through just winning attention in the conventional sense.

#65 The Raw Story Behind the Storyteller: Chris Hare Reveals Secrets of Crafting Stories That Move You โ€” Part Three

Yeah, so there's two very practical tools that I recommend. And if it's helpful, I can share a worksheet with you that walks through these that you could share with your guests. But the first exercise is what I call the movie theater. And so it's a visualization where I have people think about their very first day of retirement. And some people say, okay, I'm never going to retire.

So maybe the last week of life, right, when you're elderly. What I have people think about is, Okay, yesterday, you had a retirement party, they give you a watch or a plaque. And today, you have no more title, no more power, no more paycheck, also no more emails, hooray, and all of those things.
