Entertaining and Priceless

Development is a massive industry. If you work in any facet of that trade, this podcast is can’t-miss information. I am writing detailed summaries on each episode to refer back to as I seek to grow as an aspiring professional.

Fantastic professional development

There have been a small handful of books and podcasts that have truly made a significant difference in my professional career. This is one of them. I spent 10 years working in the nonprofit world raising money; but like most people, I was never really taught how to do it. I learned by watching others as much as possible and made the rest up along the way. This podcast has changed that. It has provided tangible steps and real world scenarios to study. I cannot recommend it enough!
