  • Politics out of Nonprofits

    I’ve been a long time listener, have followed Rhea’s book and now I am signing off. If your business is politics, then be in politics. If your business is helping nonprofits grow, leave politics at the door. We’ve all been inundated with the bombardment of political scum. Most of us look to you to be the light.

  • Rhea means business

    Love this podcast. Rhea approaches the non profit world with an actual business mentality. Some of the other podcasts in this space seem too “cheerleady” for me, but Rhea’s actually functions to get me focused like any other business.

  • Fantastic Content to Level Up

    So inspiring! As someone who has fairly recently fallen into fundraising, this podcast has really opened up so many conversations for me and my organization on how we view fundraising. I’m excited for every episode because I know I’m going to learn something new or think about an aspect of fundraising from a new perspective. Keep it up!
