Looking Forward®: It's All About Opportunities!

Hi there, Looking Forward listener!

Without giving anything away, let me just say that if you’re someone who’s looking to do something good for the world, getting involved with a fiscal sponsor-- or the organization it is assisting-- may just be the perfect opportunity for you: whether you are a job or career seeker, freelancer, entrepreneur, investor, or non-profit organization. So you'll definitely want to take in all of this episode!OK, let me tell you just a little bit about our guest expert, Andrew Schulman. Andrew Schulman is the founder and a principal at Schulman Consulting: America’s only consulting and advisory firm exclusively focused on the nonprofit fiscal sponsorship sector.
