In this thought-provoking episode of Nonprofit Nerd®: Impact Unleashed, Jarrett Ransom sits down with Scott Stanley, director of the North American Association of Visionary Churches (NAAVC) and Arizona Assembly, to explore the intersection of nonprofit leadership, advocacy, religious freedom, and emerging psychedelic policy. Scott shares insights from a six-year legal battle with the DEA, the challenges of building legitimacy in highly regulated spaces, and the importance of coalition building, governance, and mission-driven leadership. Together, they unpack how organizations can navigate complexity, inspire meaningful action, and create informed oversight through honest dialogue and strategic collaboration.
