In this episode of The Tiberius Show, Tiberius sits down with Jarrod Daab, Vice President of Fund Development at Lighthouse of Central Florida, to talk about real-world careers that make a difference—especially careers that support people who are blind or living with vision loss.
Jared breaks down (in teen-friendly language!) what fundraising / fund development actually is, how nonprofits build trust, and why transparency matters—plus how Lighthouse helps people build daily living skills like orientation & mobility, navigating safely, and gaining independence.
We also dive into:
•    Why Jared chose nonprofit work (and what surprises most people about it)
•    How donations are used responsibly to grow programs
•    Lighthouse’s signature event “Dining in the Dark” (a full pitch-black dining experience!)
•    Parenting, leadership, and what schools should teach (budgeting, life skills, and more)
•    Math Corners: A real-world sign-order word problem (Braille + accessibility!)
•    Heart of the Lion: Leadership without needing a title
