You’ve heard me talk about this in recent newsletters—and many of you even helped pick the name. Now it’s here: Episode 1 of my new (and second) five-part Advancement Amplified 'Pulse Check' series with Enrollify is live.

In this first episode, I’m joined by Terry Flannery, Ph.D. (EVP and COO at the Council for Advancement and Support of Education) to unpack how Advancement MarCom teams can break free from “order-taking” mode and step into the role of strategic partner.

If your Advancement / Development MarCom team’s value is misunderstood—or you’re working to change that—Terry and I dig into:

• Myths about MarCom’s role
• How to start building more authority and influence
• Focusing on work that truly matters

Episodes 1–5 will drop over the next five Thursdays: 8/14, 8/21, 8/28, 9/4, and 9/11.

Thanks for following along—it means a lot to launch this series with your support. I'd love to hear what you think of the show as we go.

Here’s to amplifying the work that matters,

Dan
