I had the pleasure of being a guest on Stephen Halasnik’s podcast, the NonProfit MBA. He speaks all things nonprofits and we had a great discussion. He aired it today and I would encourage you to listen to it, subscribe, and checkout more episodes all focused on nonprofit success. His podcast is a compliment to his financial enterprise where he sets up lines of credit for nonprofits. A very impressive and innovative resource, I think. You can read more about that on his website. His podcast is available on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple. Enjoy and please leave a like. It will help us both!
All of the same principles I spoke about to Stephen are applicable for small businesses. I give you the framework, you apply it to your workplace. This is also a great overview of what you’ll learn in BOOST. The Nonprofit MBA Podcast

No-Nonsense Marketing and Public Relations for Nonprofits With Leslie Smith. The Nonprofit MBA Podcast
Marketing strategies for nonprofits don’t have to be complicated or expensive. The key thing is to focus on clarity, consistency, and connection. Make sure your message is strong, use the right tools to amplify your voice, build relationships with media and supporters, and measure what matters. Most importantly, don’t get caught up in trying to do everything at once. Choose one or two marketing strategies that align with your nonprofit’s goals, and start there. In today’s podcast, Leslie Smith from McCormick L.A. Public Relations and Stephen Halasnik from Financing Solutions, a leading provider of business loans for nonprofits, discuss no-nonsense marketing strategies and public relations for nonprofits.
