E44 Creating Spaces for Upcoming Leaders with Frank Velásquez Jr.

Behind every mission-driven organization is a complex engine of strategy, people, and passion that keeps it moving forward. How We Run: Non-profit success stories pulls back the curtain on that engine, offering a clear-eyed look at what operational excellence really requires. This isn't about abstract theory; it's the tangible, sometimes messy reality of steering a nonprofit toward meaningful impact. Each conversation in this podcast goes deep into a specific challenge, whether it's navigating board dynamics, crafting a sustainable fundraising model, or developing genuine metrics for success that go beyond the spreadsheet. You'll hear directly from leaders like Julie Lacouture of Good Ways Inc., Lisa J. Baxter, and Trent Stamp, who bring their own hard-won experiences to the table. They share not just their triumphs, but the lessons learned from setbacks, providing a balanced and practical resource for anyone involved in the sector. Tune in for candid stories that replace jargon with clarity, and find the actionable insights that can help your own organization run more effectively. This series from Good Ways Inc. is built for founders, staff, board members, and supporters who believe that how you run the operation is fundamental to achieving the mission.
