    Podcast

    The Mission Driven Podcast is hosted by Richard Brubaker and Tom Stader, who speak through the lessons they learned building mission driven organizations over the last 15 years.

      In this episode, Rich and Tom answer two questions from the Mission Driven Fam. The first of which is centered on how nonprofit accounting is different. A topic that they both address, and expand on, through their own experience as Non-profit founders. The second question, is focused more on the balance between the operations and sales side of the organization, and why the sales & development side of organizations gets more attention/ coverage. As always, we appreciate the engagement with the Mission Driven Fam, and look forward to answering future questions.

      In this episode, Tom and Rich speak through how and why organizations need to pivot once again. This time, the conversation is less driven by the idea that founders need to constantly seek pivots ass a way to find growth, and more as a function of ensuring that they are able to survive the short term (crisis, market trends, etc), and position themselves to thrive over the long term.
