  • Empowering Nonprofits Through Marketing with Kasidi Legg

    Empowering Nonprofits Through Marketing with Kasidi Legg
    Nov 5 2024
    In this episode of the Kanawha Valley Hustlers podcast, I talk with Kasidi Legg, a chief marketing consultant with Kingery and Company. Kasidi shares how she helps nonprofits in West Virginia build capacity, tackling the challenges of limited funding and staffing by providing strategic planning, branding, and fundraising support. She highlights the importance of marketing for nonprofits, ensuring that the community and potential funders know about the impactful work these organizations do. Kasidi, a Charleston native, feels strongly connected to her community, crediting her mother, a social worker, for instilling a sense of service. She’s also recently been recognized by Up Next Charlie West as the October Member of the Month, an honor for her dedication to local growth and leadership. I wrap up the conversation by encouraging listeners to keep hustling with purpose and positivity.

    Avon Cobourne Jr. on BNI and Business Success
    Oct 31 2024
    I chat with Avon Cobourne Jr., a mortgage loan officer and vice president of the Wealth Builders BNI chapter in Charleston. Avon shares his daily hustle of helping families secure mortgage pre-approvals and emphasizes the dedication required in his role. He highlights the importance of networking, especially with their upcoming event on November 6th at the Embassy Suites, where they aim to connect various professionals and grow their businesses together. Avon explains that BNI, or Business Networking International, operates on an exclusive model, allowing only one person per profession in each chapter, which fosters strong referrals and collaboration. We discuss the other BNI chapters in Charleston and the flexibility they offer. I encourage listeners to attend the Visitors Day to expand their networks and tap into new business opportunities.
