In today's episode, I’m talking with two of my favorite people: Becky Endicott and Jon McCoy, co-founders of We Are For Good. They pull back the curtain on one of their collective superpowers: A strategy they’ve used to grow their community to tens of thousands of nonprofit leaders and practitioners, and one of the simplest and most powerful ways to amplify your organization’s impact. Content syndication.

Content syndication is the process of turning a single piece of content into a ripple effect of engagement, growth, and community building. If you're leading a small or growing nonprofit and wondering how to make your voice louder and your footprint bigger, this conversation is a gold mine of strategies, inspiration, and real-life examples. We walk through how syndication works, and how, when paired with strategic storytelling and genuine engagement, you can use it to turn your mission into a movement!

What you’ll learn:

• The nuts and bolts of content syndication, and how it applies to the nonprofit sector
• Innovative ways to repurpose content across different platforms without overwhelming your audience or team.
• The pivotal role of authenticity and human connection in content creation and community engagement.
