You want to raise more money, have deeper relationships with donors and be happier in your job. This is how you do it.
Are you ready to level up as a fundraiser?
HAVE DEEPER DONOR RELATIONSHIPS AND RAISE MORE MONEY.
So you’d like to start a podcast? Awesome! Starting a podcast is one of the best ways to build an audience and grow your business (even from scratch), but the process for getting started can feel daunting.
What equipment and software should you use? How do you land interviews with big-name guests? How do you get your show loaded into Apple Podcasts? And even after your show goes live, how are you going to make sure people find it?
I’m going to help you cut through the confusion—to not only learn how to properly plan and launch your podcast, but make sure it gets found, too.
In Power-Up Podcasting®, I’ll walk you step-by-step through the entire process of launching a great podcast. With high-quality videos (that aren’t too long) and examples along the way, you’ll have your new podcast up and running in no time, so you can start growing and delighting your audience.
Your audience is waiting to hear from you.

BEING A FUNDRAISER CAN FEEL LONLEY, BUT YOU’RE NOT ALONE
I don’t want you to feel that way. I want you to be excited that you’re going to start a podcast!
A big part of feeling excited, rather than scared, is knowing you have a place to go when you have questions or you need a little encouragement. Power-Up Podcasting® has built-in ways for you to get help, whether you’re looking for feedback on your podcast logo, stuck with an editing problem, or you just need a little pep-talk before your big launch.
That’s why I’ve set up two ways for you to get support:
Weekly office hours with Clark Vandeventer
Sometimes you just need to ask the teacher a question. That’s why I host a weekly Zoom call that’s only available to course students. Get your questions answered and learn from the questions of the other SPI course students. The last four call replays are available inside the course.
Don’t take my word for it
Real Peak Performance Fundraising students share their experiences with the course and how it has benefitted their orginazations (and even changed their lives).
"I wanted to have a bigger impact."
I always loved working with my mentees and I wanted to do that on a bigger scale…I knew a podcast was the way to do that but I had no clue how to get started…literally within a month, The Epic Success Podcast with Dr. Shannon Irvine is live!…It’s by far the best course I’ve ever taken.”
