36. The Pay Equity Problem in Mission-Driven Work


Listen Later

Caring about your mission doesn't mean you should accept poverty wages.

In this episode, I call out the "passion tax" - the amount of money you're expected to give up because you chose meaningful work. We talk about what underpaying staff really costs organizations and why fair compensation is a programmatic effectiveness issue.

If you've been told that wanting fair pay makes you less committed to the cause, this episode will change how you think about compensation in mission-driven work.

Passion doesn't pay rent.
