    Episode 59: Innovation and the Nonprofit Sector

    When we think of innovation, we typically attribute this to technology and for-profit companies. They’re the ones with the big ideas and the money to see them through.

On this episode, I talk through the four elements that help nonprofits eliminate societal problems through innovation.  For more information and show notes: CLICK HERE To join our free, private Facebook group: CLICK HERE

    Episode 58: Managing Frontline Nonprofit Staff

    To every single person on the frontlines, thank you for all you are doing to keep our communities safe and healthy.
