Ben explained that the main reason why the organization thrives even though it has never had large resources is because of the mindset of always questioning every expense.

_“It’s a generous gift from a donor and we take that seriously so we have to ask what are we buying with this and then further why do we really need it?,”_ Ben said.

He explained that the team thinks from a long term perspective. This is why talents and skills are often built in-house instead of buying products and services outside.

Aside from this, the philosophy of extreme prioritization has also been instrumental in helping the organization move the needle.

_“It’s kind of spending time thinking, ‘what is that single most impactful thing that I should be spending my time on right now?’ And consistent use of that mentality means you actually get so much done instead of the regular daily urgent routine work,”_ Ben explained.

Snapcast host Mickey Desai also asked Ben about sunk cost fallacy and how the organization is able to avoid it.

Ben explained that it involves everyone questioning whether a project is still worth spending time and money on. It means having the humility at any time to accept that a project has failed when it already has. He used fundraising as an example such as when the team tried different experiments to find an approach that is worth continuing.

_“It’s totally OK to just experiment. We’ll track numbers. And if it looks like it’s not working…anybody can chime in and say, ‘hey I don’t think this is really working out’. That’s ok. Well we’ll go a different direction and try something else,”_ Ben said.
