Listen "Building a Future We May Never See Ourselves — with Matthew Ratz"
Episode Synopsis
“What is is not what will always be.” If Matthew Ratz had a family crest, this might be the phrase it dons. A nonprofiteer for 15+ years, Matthew weaves that spirit into his social sector work, and beyond—and we spoke about it openly in this episode.
Along the way we dive into —
Inspiring care through stories, not persuasion
Creating transformative experiences for those we serve
Getting boards to dream beyond their day-to-day responsibilities
One wish Matthew would make to magically improve the nonprofit 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]!
Mentioned on this episode:
Matthew’s reluctant presence on LinkedIn
The CIA’s 20th century method to sabotage business productivity
Corporatization of nonprofits is the death knell of nonprofits (The Nonprofit Hive)
