Despite the amount of information available to entrepreneurs, when it comes to running a nonprofit organization, many have no idea on what it takes to be successful. To help mitigate that confusion I interviewed Josh Vernon, founder of Do Wicked Good  and Shalini Melwani, founder of Spread the Joy Foundation, an organization dedicated to spreading joy for children who are in long term hospital care.Inside today’s podcast, we talk about the difference they are making in the world through some of the darkest times in life, plus cover how to run a successful fundraising event , resiliency, and so much more.
