Insightful interviews
I listened to last Thursday’s episode with Manuel Campbell and he had some great insight into nonprofit leadership and what it takes to go from a side passion project to a fully-developed plan that can impact the community at large. Manuel’s childhood, growing up with entrepreneurial-minded mentors, really resonated with me as a small-business owner and grabbed my attention from the first five minutes of the episode. Patton asked thought-provoking questions which allowed Manuel to respond with great detail on his experiences - a true testament to his hosting.

Nonprofit organizations are notorious for operating with either very lean or nonexistant professional development budgets. Yet, we must stay abreast of the trends, best practices and leadership lessons that are critical in today's rapidly changing nonprofit sector. Patton McDowell offers inspirational yet pragmatic tools in this weekly podcast series. It's a terrific resource for ideas to share with my team and our board. Patton and his colleagues are truly committed to raising the professionalism and efficacy of nonprofit leaders. I plan on tuning in on a weekly basis and really appreciate the PMA team for making this information so readily available.
