Well-curated conversations and guests for the busy nonprofit manager. Practical and interesting.

I’ve always appreciated Payton’s perspective. He’s knowledgeable and insightful. Not ego driven (like some in this space can be) The only challenge is we get to interact just a few times a year. His podcast allows me to keep up to date on trends and hear from experts in the field.

Patton's podcast has heaps of nonprofit gold for nonprofit leaders! If you are looking to enter into or advance within nonprofit leadership then this is your listening space. :) He also has meaningful questions for his guests and is an excellent podcast host! - Holly Rustick, Grant Writing & Funding

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.

Patton is a leader in this space and this podcast showcases his expertise. You can tell that he prepares for each episode and has a wide variety of guests. I look forward to listening to a new episode every week on my walks!
