UnTangled: AI for Social Good

UnTangled with Valerie Ehrlich | May 21, 2026 - Responsible AI Use: What Does That Mean?

Everyone is talking about AI adoption. Almost no one is talking about what responsibility actually looks like once the hype fades and the real decisions begin. Valerie Ehrlich joins UnTangled for a conversation that cuts beneath the surface of “AI strategy” and into the emotional and organizational tension shaping this moment in history. From leadership pressure to employee resistance, from ethical uncertainty to the quiet fear of being left behind, this episode explores what happens when mission-driven organizations are forced to navigate a future that still feels undefined. Somewhere inside the uncertainty is a more difficult question: not whether we use AI, but who we become while using it.

UnTangled with Ryan Baillargeon | May 14, 2026 - Building Tools for the Agentic Digital Fundraiser

Somewhere between burnout and breakthrough, a new kind of builder is emerging. In this episode of UnTangled, Ryan Baillargeon pulls back the curtain on the emotional whiplash of AI: the fear of becoming obsolete, the grief of watching an industry change overnight, and the unexpected rediscovery of creativity on the other side of it. What starts as a conversation about fundraising technology slowly becomes something deeper — a reflection on purpose, identity, and the people quietly carrying the digital weight inside nonprofits every single day. Beneath the chaos of the AI revolution is a simple question: what if these tools could finally give exhausted humans room to breathe again?

UnTangled with Abby Lupi | May 7, 2026 – Impact Happens at the Speed of Trust

AI is moving faster than most institutions can process — and the social sector is being forced to make decisions before the rules even exist. This conversation with Abby Lupi explores the uncomfortable space between innovation and ethics, where nonprofits, researchers, and technologists are all trying to navigate a future that still feels unfinished. Beneath the discussion about tools and systems is a deeper question: who gets to shape what comes next, and what happens when trust breaks before progress begins? Thoughtful, honest, and quietly urgent, this episode challenges the idea that staying out of the conversation is neutral.

UnTangled with Leah Lundberg | Apr 30, 2026 – Your Website in a Day Is Just the Warm-Up

What happens when you stop asking how AI can make your existing work more efficient and start asking how AI would solve your problem in the first place? Leah Lundberg of Engine 9 and Fracture joins Jen on UnTangled to explore that shift, plus the very real possibility of building a production-ready website in a day without a developer in sight.

UnTangled with Anne Murphy | Apr 23, 2026 – The Gates Are There for a Reason

The AI conversation has a gate. And it wasn't built by accident. Women are showing up to AI differently, slower, sharper, asking the questions no one else is asking. Anne Murphy (She Leads AI) and Jen Frazier sit down to talk about what happens when you refuse to stay on the consumer side of the biggest shift in a generation. No hot takes. No hype. Just two women in the arena.
