The podcast is down-to-earth, but gives both leadership insights and encouragement. Based on interviews with various nonprofits, there is both the vision of what it takes to start and lead a nonprofit and the whys behind it. Marla does not shy away from asking the challenging questions around the cracks in leaders and their organization's armor. We learn more with that authenticity.
