But to me, he is my go to non-profit guy. Which is why I called him up this week. I had two things I needed his thoughts on. The first is an infographic which was released by Bloomerang that caught my attention and secondly, the begging-to-be-discussed ALS Ice Bucket Challenge bonanza.
First up, Bloomerang’s $5 donation experiment. I love infographics and this one is no exception. I’ll let it speak for itself:

Oh, and because I’m a jaded fool, I had to ask Steven to stick around for a second segment to discuss the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. I’ll admit I’m a curmudgeon, thankfully Steven is not. His optimistic thoughts here:
