    Building A Solid Nonprofit Foundation with Devika Narayanan of Nostos Homes | The Official Do Good Better Podcast #288

    Building A Solid Nonprofit Foundation with Devika Narayanan of Nostos Homes | The Official Do Good Better Podcast #288

    Today's Five-Star Guest is Devika Narayanan, Chief of Staff of Nostos Homes

    Internal displacement can happen suddenly, following an environmental disaster like a hurricane or an earthquake. It may occur over a short, intense period of civil war; it may take place slowly and continually over decades; it may be the result of public or private sector development projects.

    At Nostos, they build homes for the forcibly displaced to help them thrive. Their innovative homes are designed to serve as intermediate shelters for people displaced due to violent conflict or natural disasters. The shelters are modular, light-weight and can be easily transported to affected areas.

    SEO & Google Marketing Expert Chris Barlow of Beeline | The Official Do Good Better Podcast #286

    SEO & Google Marketing Expert Chris Barlow of Beeline | The Official Do Good Better Podcast #286

    Today's Five-Star Guest is Chris Barlow, Founder of Beeline. 

    Marketing your nonprofit organization shouldn’t be an afterthought. Effective marketing is what helps others learn about your organization’s mission and work. It’s how you encourage those outside of your immediate circle of influence to get involved and grow your base of supporters. Most small nonprofits don’t have the funds to keep an in-house marketing expert on staff. Even when this is the case, the person usually lacks one or two of the many skills required to implement effective marketing. So, the task of marketing often falls on other staff members who are already wearing multiple hats and don’t necessarily have the unique expertise required to market an organization successfully.
    Working with the nonprofit marketing experts at Beeline may be just the solution you need!

CDB Running ,

Practical and uplifting

When the doing good gets hard… just listen to Patrick. I love the uplifting tone and optimism combined with real, actionable advice. The conversations are genuine, informative, and leave me feeling a little more ready to take on the day’s goals.

Guillaume Wiatr ,

This show will motivate you to go from good to great

It’s easy to second-guess yourself if you’re running a small non-profit, but it shouldn’t be that way. This show gives a ton of new ideas, perspectives, and tips. The energetic Patrick Kirby knows how to get the best from his guests (I experienced it first-hand as one of them). This is a must-listen podcast for anyone looking to make a difference in this world.

Sean in TX ,

Outstanding!

Lots of energy. Lots of fun. Great guests!
