Listen "Being Curious, Empathetic, Affirming, and Helpful — with Tim Parsons"
Episode Synopsis
We were delighted to be Tim Parsons’ first-ever podcast, and what a deep conversation it was. From Dungeons & Dragons to empathy to disorienting dilemmas and beyond, Tim showed us why having different people in the room allows us to do big things.
Along the way we dived into —
Why our work requires idealists, realists, AND practical-ists
Moving people along the journey of transformative volunteering
Putting people outside their comfort zones to build real connection
One wish Tim would make to improve the social sector
It’s practical, it’s honest, and (as always) there’s good nonsense along the way. If you know a nonprofiteer we should invite on the show, let us know at [email protected]!
