Description

In this episode, we’re joined by fellow rabble-rouser Ariel Glassman. Ariel’s helped organizations (on four continents!) raise tens of millions of dollars through a collective approach, which she leads with her firm, Common Great.

Along the way, we dive into —

• Uncovering the real problems of toxic leadership
• How “run it like a business” is nearly impossible in the current nonprofit reality
• Why diversifying revenue is a vertical—not horizontal—strategy
• The need for strong strategy and operations, and not just passion
• One wish Ariel would make to magically improve the social sector

It’s practical, it’s honest, and (as always) there’s good nonsense along the way. If you know a nonprofiteer we should invite on the show, let us know at hello@goodnonsense.org!
