Episode 13: Breaking Into Nonprofit Work


Listen Later

In episode 13, we talk about the latest power struggle at American Apparel between former CEO Dov Charney and the Board of Directors, a story with a long sexual harassment back story.  We also talk about the employee implications of the recent Hobby Lobby decision from the Supreme Court.  We interview Rick Zadd, Director of Operations at the Nashville Academy of Computer Science, a public charter school opening this fall in Nashville.  Rick is a former business grad and sales guy who talks with us about the much-desired transition from corporate to nonprofit work. Finally, in That's Dumb with Kristin, we wonder, why is it so hard to beleive that cost of living is much different between cities when we look at the salary for a new job?
