On this episode, Tasha and Evan give a happy, little recap of the soulful, practical, and often hilarious conversations they had during Season One. The trip down memory lane went a bit further, with a long-overdue introduction to their own nonprofit journeys.
Along the way we dive into the big themes from Season One —
- The big notion that nonprofiteers are humans first
- Progress takes time—not everything is a radical overhaul
- Practical, low-cost ideas for making nonprofit workplaces healthier
- Change is hard and uncomfortable, and tension is necessary for growth
- Great orgs and great bosses do exist, even if they’re not always easy to find
- Honest, heartfelt conversations with lesser-known (but impactful) nonprofit pros
As always, it was practical, honest, and there was definitely good nonsense along the way. If you know a nonprofiteer we should invite on the show, let us know at hello@goodnonsense.org!
