Listening to Mogwai this morning ahead of going to see them tonight and I'm definitely enjoying the way that it's making all of my work feel about 80% more epic.
For context, the total amount fundraised during the recent London Marathon was about £83m.
OUT NOW: Very excited to say that on the latest episode of the Philanthropisms podcast, I'm joined by Craigslist founder and philanthropist Craig Newmark to discuss why philanthropy is important and how he approaches it.

I don't know that mainstream philanthropy is paying enough attention to how influencers are upending fundraising, given that a Polish influencer I've never heard of (albeit I'm 44) just raised over £50m for charity by doing a livestream. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
