Fundraiser or Faker?

The rap on Felicia? She's methodical. Some find her boring — although nobody gets bored counting the money that rolls in month after month because of her work.

Frankie Faker is another story. He's a spinning, effervescent ball of energy. People like that about him. He can talk persuasively about anything that's new. The newer, the better. If he's the only one in the room who's heard of something, he's deep in his area of strength. (The Irish name for this skill is "blarney." The American term for it also starts with a B.) Frankie doesn't raise very much money. That's beside the point for him. But he sure makes folks feel energized.
