Powerful quotes

“We're seeing just a moment in thought leadership rising in the idea that everybody can be a thought leader because you have a unique lived experience to draw from, whether you're a young professional or a seasoned professional.” -Becky

“What could happen if you could awaken their passion and bring it to life through story, through giving, through what's important to them?” -Becky

“We're trying to grow believers, not just donors.” -Jon

“I think that it's so important for nonprofits to really understand, and for anybody trying to do social good to understand, that if they don't believe in your cause you can't convince them to participate or to give.” -Julia

“There's power in investing in yourself and having a growth mindset.” - Jon

“The power dynamics have flipped now and you are in control and corporations and communities and sectors are looking for your expertise.” -Becky

THE WE ARE FOR GOOD COMMUNITY

This is a safe place for deeper conversations. While we love this podcast, it is a very one-sided dialogue. It is great for starting conversations, but not continuing them. You can find friends, colleagues, and others to champion alongside. We believe community is everything and we wanted to create a place where people could learn and thrive and grow together (and also have a whole lot of fun).
