Philanthropy is generous, but the systems behind it are outdated. In this episode, Sarah Angello, cofounder of Daffodil, explains how she is rebuilding trust in giving by creating real-time transparency between donors and nonprofits. She shares her journey from the arts to tech, the mindset shifts she had to make, and why she believes almost everything is fixable when you lead with clarity and action. This is a story about solving a problem most people never see and choosing to build a company that changes how charitable dollars flow.

Kristin Heideman did not plan to become an entrepreneur. After two decades in the insurance industry and a sudden job loss, she made a decision that reshaped her entire career.
