Mick Unplugged · Unveiling Simplicity in Leadership with Marlissa Hudson · 29 Sep 2025 podcast

But the reason I chose consulting is I wanted to have maximal impact.

And I felt like in order to do that, I needed to be in a lot of different places at a lot of different levels.

And fundraising, little secret, the science of it is not that hard.

Don't let them fool you.

Because of privilege and a whole lot of gatekeeping...

it's obfuscated and made difficult for people to access.

So I knew I wanted to get in there, and that's the second reason I wanted to be a consultant, because I wanted to disrupt the current systems for fundraisers and bring folks who normally wouldn't do this work into it.

You can make great money, mid-level, six figures.

As a fundraiser, either as a consultant or in-house at an organization.

And I'm like, I can do this because frankly, from my singing, one, I had no ego left.

So there's nothing you can say to me that's going to deter me.

Plus, frankly, I have a mental toughness that was hard fought, probably through a little bit of trauma.

But either way, it's hard to dissuade me.

And once I saw the matrix and that I saw, okay, wait a minute.

The science of fundraising isn't the hard part.

And I already had the art friend.

So let me get in here and see what change I can create.

Thank you.

I mean, part of that, frankly, is understanding what's most important.

And sometimes people confuse urgency with importance.
