  • Must listen if you’re in the nonprofit space

    Josh Breland creates space for real, substantive conversation rather than surface-level talking points — the episode on nonprofit mergers covered the operational and governance complexities that leaders actually wrestle with. We'd recommend this podcast to anyone working in nonprofit leadership, succession planning, or organizational strategy.

Nonprofit AI: How to Start Using AI With the Systems and Data You Already Have - Erica Cox, Provisio Partners

Nonprofit AI: How to Start Using AI With the Systems and Data You Already Have - Erica Cox, Provisio Partners
Q: Erica, what does realistic AI adoption look like when building on top of years of infrastructure?

Nonprofit Growth: How to Scale a Volunteer-Powered Nonprofit to 300+ Chapters - Luke Mickelson, Sleep in Heavenly Peace
Q: When did you realize the organization needed a different leader for daily operations, and what made that decision so hard?
The realization came as growth accelerated and the founder's role became a bottleneck; they recognized the need for a different leadership style to sustain scale, even though it was emotionally difficult due to identity ties with the mission.
Recurring Giving: Why Most Programs Plateau and How to Build One That Grows - Dave Raley, The Center for Sustainable Giving
Q: Who's ultimately responsible for growing recurring giving within an organization and how should they be resourced?
There should be a single owner who is empowered, resourced with time and access, and supported by the organization to invest in recurring giving as a core strategy rather than a side project.
Nonprofit Data: How to Make Impact Measurement a Tool That Empowers Your Team - Stephen Minix, UpMetrics
Q: What are the first steps a leader should take to make impact measurement empowering before shopping for a platform?
Begin with internal alignment: clarify who you serve, what you serve them with, and how you'll know you're succeeding. Use workshops or Mad Libs to articulate the mission, then map data back to those statements and involve staff in building the framework before selecting tools.
