Unlocking the perfect grant is like finding the missing puzzle piece for your mission! 🧩 Before diving in, ask yourself: ✅ Qualifications: Are you ticking all the eligibility boxes? ✅ Value Alignment: Do your organization's goals and values align with those of the grant provider? ✅ Funding Availability: Does your organization have the means to meet any budget requirements such as matching requirements? ✅ Past Funded Organizations: Do past grantees resemble your organization's purpose, mission, and values? ✅ Capacity to Maintain the Grant: Ready for the grant marathon? Assess your resources, skills, team's bandwidth to ensure you can manage the application and execution of the grant. 🦸♀️ If you're nodding to all, you're ready to take the next step! #BoydGrants #GrantManagement #GrantWriting #GrantApplication #Grantees

I just want to put out a quick thank you. Jason has never met me personally, we've done some small amount of work together and sure we've chatted on the phone, LinkedIn, etc. but I just have to say thank you to Jason for doing me an absolute solid. One of the test spools we sent to Stress Engineering Services, Inc. for our certification wasn't needed, so that left me with a choice. Pay to send it back, or throw it out. Throwing it out was never really an option, and I didn't want it sent back so the folks at PRCI - Pipeline Research Council International, namely Lance Abney, FMP have offered to house the high pressure spool alongside our low pressure spool that already sits in the PRCI lab, used for a demonstration we did last year at PRCI. I'm in Alberta so I can't pick up the spool and drop it off, and I don't know a single local trucking company. I reached out to Jason to see if he could connect me with someone to pick up/drop off the spool, and Jason offers to take the time out of this day to do it himself. This is great for me for obvious reasons, but in the last 7 years since I started this company, I can't tell you how many people, individuals and companies have simply gone out of their way to help, for the sake of helping someone out with no obvious return on the kindness. That's what this industry shows me every. single. day. This is the attitude of most in this industry, not all, but most, and I love it! Thanks Jason, people can literally put their hands on our technology in another country which helps Total Containment Inc. in a whole host of ways. Getting this tech out and in the ground is not going to be easy, in fact, it's absolutely brain cramping if I'm being completely honest. I appreciate these moments along the way, I appreciate the selflessness behind these moments and the desire we all have (some in greater quantities than others for sure), to help someone succeed. My road is absolutely PAVED with moments like this and I am so grateful for all of it. Jason Glass MPS, LLC.

Ep. 234 THE POWER OF COMMUNITY In addition to being part of speaking communities, we, as presenters belong to professional, social, charitable, faith-based, and other communities. Today Mark and Darren discuss the power of community, examining the ways that communities make us grow…and change. They offer advice on collaborating with your community, growing your community, and even leaving your community. Using Stage Time University, Toastmasters International, and the National Speakers Association as examples, they show benefits and blessings of being in community with like-minded people and reveal how community has helped them to prepare unforgettable presentations.   SNIPPETS: • Community helps change perspective • Choose your community • Use your community • Serve your community • Build your community • Don’t be abused by your community, if you must leave, do so with grace                                             • Protect your community • Don’t think NETWORKING; think NETSERVING • Is your community helping or harming you • Take inventory of your communities
