Nonprofit Fundraising Best Practices

What Stand Up Comedy Teaches about Nonprofit Communication with Carlos Maestas

True story: on top of my nonprofit work, I’m an aspiring stand-up comedian.  And, lemme tell ya, it’s rough out there for a comic.  Join me and fellow stand-up comedian and Chief Story Smith Carlos Maestas to talk about how to be a better communicator.  We talk about how to find your own story, why it’s a good idea to not take yourself too seriously and how to get out of pitch mode and into real connection with funders.  This interview was a ton of fun and jam-packed with value bombs for those looking to be better storytellers, and communicators.
