34. Why Nonprofits Should Run More Like Businesses (If They Want to Grow)


Listen Later

Nonprofits are praised for doing too much with too little. But there's nothing ethical about disorganization. And burnout isn't proof of commitment.

In this episode, I challenge the idea that business principles are incompatible with mission-driven work.

We cover:

  • Why mission without infrastructure doesn't scale
  • What nonprofits can borrow from business without losing their soul
  • How to lead with both heart and operational clarity
