This is the place to learn how to become part of the solution by learning how to build an established and healthy nonprofit organization. We will also host interviews of nonprofit leaders throughout the United States. At least one episode a month we will throw in a bonus discussion of health and wellness. We hope that by listening to our podcast you find something valuable and empowering.

Pass the Beauty Inc founded by Cintoria Franklin

Pass the Beauty Inc founded by Cintoria Franklin

Most nonprofits are created through experiences of passion and pain. Pass the Beauty Inc, https://passthebeautyinc.com/, is no different. Pass the Beauty is a nonprofit supporting victims and survivors of domestic violence and bullying.  I found Ms. Cintoria Franklin to be relentless in her journey to support others while continuing to raise a family and build a strong organization. Oh, and there is soooo much more that she does.

You see, I never go solely on what others tell me, whether good or bad.  I quietly pay attention to the details that others forget about or simply refuse to acknowledge. I know after hearing just a little about the journey you too will agree with my positive perspective.   Just a little warning, you may want to have some tissue standing by.

My "ask" is that if this episode pulls on your heartstring, please support this young lady and Pass the Beauty organization. This can come in a few ways and stay tuned to find out how. @cintoria.franklin  #beawareandempower #community #lovelife #giveback #nonprofit #nonprofitleader #charity #education

Ask For the Money with Special Guest Pastor Tray Smith

Ask For the Money with Special Guest Pastor Tray Smith

Pastor Tray Smith joins us from Port Huron, MI. We discuss asking for "the money" or fundraising as it relates to nonprofit organizations. One of the biggest points that Pastor Tray makes throughout the episode is the importance of building relationships. Be sure to listen closely to the part when I ask about the Mayor.

I think you will also find that being authentic is key to being an effective leader. While that word is not stated, there are many key points in which one could sum it up as being authentic.
