Navigating the Nonprofit World w/ Ed Goble: Like it or not, all across the business sector in the United States there is a certain stigma associated with nonprofit work. It’s often seen as the place where people go to work who couldn’t quite cut it in the for-profit world. As the do-gooders who don’t really need to make a living. Nothing could be further from the truth. Nonprofit work is just as crucial to the movement of our economy and society as for-profit work. While it might oftentimes take on different forms, just because you’re not raking in billions for shareholders doesn’t mean that you’re not a professional doing meaningful work.

Coming Through the COVID-19 Pandemic Stronger than Before w/ Macy Macaskill: There’s no way to sugarcoat it. 2020 was brutal for an overwhelming number of businesses both in the United States as well as the rest of the world. So many businesses saw their doors close permanently as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the ensuing reduction in revenue. And while not every business ended up having to close their doors, every business was impacted in some way. Even those that, from a revenue standpoint, did well in 2020, had a whole new landscape to navigate. Remote work, Zoom, maybe a reduction in workforce. The pandemic took no prisoners, and nobody was unscathed. But rather than focus on the negative, we’re going to take this episode and focus on the positive. We’re going to talk with someone who, though they had to make some tough decisions, helped lead their company through the rough waters of 2020, and hopefully has set them up for continued success in 2021.
