With Megan McCaffery and Russell Philips

Is it really best practice to follow best practice?

On this episode, Megan is joined by Russell Philips of the Canadian Constitution Foundation to discuss their learnings from the recent NIO Summit in Dallas. You'll find out why it's so hard to convince people under 40 to give, get some quick UX/UI wins to optimize your donation pages, and learn why testing trumps best practice.
