> For Immediate Release · Release No. 90. Episode 90 · 35 min · October 27, 2025 · Hosted by Ronnie Spellman.

DALLAS, TX — October 27, 2025 — In this Business Decoded episode, host Ronnie Spellman interviews Brittany Huber, Director of Collaboratives at Philanthropy Southwest, to explore the vital intersection of business, government, and the nonprofit sector. Drawing on her extensive experience in university development and her recent Master's in Philanthropic Studies from Indiana University, Huber discusses the evolution of philanthropy, reframing it as universal "generosity" that transcends monetary donations to include time and talent. She shares insights into global philanthropic trends, the critical role of organizations like Philanthropy Southwest in shaping policy and fostering collaboration, and the importance of passion in fundraising. The conversation also delves into practical advice for entrepreneurs, highlighting the universal principle that "people give to people," a concept as true for startups seeking investment as it is for nonprofits seeking donations.
