This Week on The Heart of Giving Podcast David Rhode, author of "Passion Isn't Enough," shares practical insights from his journey from founding Pitchin' for Baseball and Softball to consulting with nonprofit leaders. Three key moments: "Running a nonprofit organization is running a business. And so in order for your business to succeed long-term, you need a business model. You need to be able to track resources, people, and money, and you need to be able to make a meaningful difference." "There are three things which are present in the nonprofit sector that aren't in the for-profit sector. The first is people - they tell the story in the nonprofit sector. We're not spending money on marketing communications, so people carry the story forward." "We as leaders need to be optimistic. We need to set a culture and a tone for the organization. If we're always complaining or worrying, then the organization's going to be down. I think resilience is one of the fundamental things that people need to be successful in life, let alone in the nonprofit sector." #HeartOfGiving #NonprofitLeadership #SocialImpact
