The Fundraising Advice We Wish We'd Had Sooner With Danny & Stephanie Leigh Gutierrez

What do you do when one of you is terrified of fundraising and the other one grew up doing it like it's second nature? Danny and Stephanie Gutierrez found out the hard way, over twelve years, two daughters, and one very memorable $666 support check.

In this episode, Coach Ben sits down with them for a conversation about what they'd do differently, from how they divided the work, to what a “soft no” really costs, to the season neither of them saw coming until it was almost over.

If you've ever felt behind on fundraising, or married to someone who fundraises nothing like you do, this is the conversation you needed a few years ago. Listen to the full episode and find more resources for your marriage and your support raising at the link in our show notes.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn

• Why dividing fundraising by strength, not gender or tradition, changed everything for one couple's support-raising
• What it actually takes to fundraise beyond your needs, not just up to them
• How to tell the difference between a real no and a maybe that never resolves
