Welcome to The Breakthru Podcast! I'm J.Paul Fridenmaker, and I've spent more than 30 years exploring the strange, sacred, and deeply human world of major gift fundraising.
Each week, I share stories, insights, and reflections from a lifetime of working with generous people and the fundraisers who invite them to make a difference. Together, we explore donor relationships, philanthropy, wealth, generosity, and the art of inviting people to give.
You'll also find conversations with philanthropists and high-net-worth givers who offer rare glimpses into the experiences, motivations, and decisions that shape their generosity.
Whether you're a seasoned major gift fundraiser or just getting started, I hope you'll find something here that sparks your curiosity, challenges your assumptions, and brings fresh perspective to your work.
