Nonprofit Mastermind Podcast ·

2025/06/03

In this final episode of my Design Shift mini-series, I’m diving into one of the most overlooked—but most essential—parts of organizational growth: making your changes stick. Because if a shift only lives in your energy or your head, it’s not structural—it’s temporary. And when growth brings pressure, anything temporary falls apart. So today, we’re talking about how to lock in the meaningful shifts you’ve made, so your nonprofit can grow without unraveling. You’ll learn a simple, three-part p...

Nonprofit Mastermind Podcast ·

2025/05/13

You’ve been told to push through. Work harder. Stretch farther. But what if the burnout you're feeling isn’t about motivation, time, or funding? In this episode, I explore a deeper issue: most nonprofit organizations are built on outdated structures that can’t sustain their mission’s scale.

2025/05/06

If a genie handed you $2 million or five new team members today, would it really solve your organization's biggest challenges—or reveal them?
