And on this episode of CFO Weekly, we sit down with Ed Goble. Ed is the Associate Athletic Director for Business & CFO at the University of Texas, which itself is an educational nonprofit.

For-Profit Skills in a Nonprofit World w/ James Schleck: No matter where you come from, one thing is true about every person on the planet. We all want to devote lives to something bigger than ourselves. We all want to make a difference and do work that actually changes the world.

Simply put, without the capital created from the for-profit world, there wouldn’t be resources available for nonprofits to try and solve world hunger, eradicate poverty, or end the AIDS crisis across the globe. Our guest on this week’s episode of CFO Weekly is James Schleck, the Chief Financial Officer at Community Solutions Inc. Before making the jump to the nonprofit world, James was in the US Army a by CFO Weekly
