  • Becoming a Benefit Auctioneer with Dani Dotterosa

    Becoming a Benefit Auctioneer with Dani Dotterosa
    Jan 16 2026

    Angela sits down with Dani Dotterosa, a Benefit Auctioneer and gala fundraising consultant, to explore the unconventional path that led her into the world of fundraising galas and live auctions. Dani shares how a collection of side hustles and a chance coffee meeting with a former Denver Bronco–turned–auctioneer launched her career on stage with a mic in hand. She explains the difference between liquidation auctioneers and benefit auctioneers, the key skills that make a great auctioneer and event coordinator, and why confidence, quick thinking, logistics, and a heart of gold all matter in this field. Dani also offers thoughtful advice to young adults who feel unsure about their career direction, encouraging them to “get the car moving,” bring excellence to every role, and seek mentorship from professionals already doing the work they’re curious about.

    Jan 15 2026

    Angela sits down with Robyn Anderson, CEO of Jam AI and an AI consultant/educator, to explore how an uncertain start in marketing and public speaking led her to the forefront of the AI revolution. Robyn shares her non-linear career journey from fitness-focused marketing assistant to agency founder, and how recognizing AI’s potential in 2023 transformed her work. She and Angela break down practical entry points into AI—learning it, teaching it, and building with it—along with tactical tips for using tools like YouTube, ChatGPT, and Gemini to find mentors and skill up fast. Robyn also talks about the power of community through groups like Women of AI, managing anxiety and comparison in a fast-moving field, and why she recommends commission-only sales roles to young adults to build the communication and relationship skills that technology can never replace.
