Ron Toles Jr (Founder of Ordinarie Heroes)The world of non-profits is an interesting one, a fact that I actually didn’t know until recently. The title of non-profit comes with a complicated legacy that intertwines with the checkered past of America. But the reassurance I have in the non-profit space comes from founders and organizers like my guest today, Ron Toles. The founder of the Philadelphia-based non-profit Ordinarie Heroes.
