Building a Future We May Never See Ourselves — with Matthew Ratz

Listen Later

“What is is not what will always be.” If Matthew Ratz had a family crest, this might be the phrase it dons. A nonprofiteer for 15+ years, Matthew weaves that spirit into his social sector work, and beyond—and we spoke about it openly in this episode.

Along the way we dive into — 

  • Inspiring care through stories, not persuasion
  • Creating transformative experiences for those we serve
  • Getting boards to dream beyond their day-to-day responsibilities
  • One wish Matthew would make to magically improve the nonprofit sector

    • It’s practical, it’s honest, and (as always) there’s good nonsense along the way. If you know a nonprofiteer we should invite on the show, let us know at [email protected]!
