    BEST OF EPISODE: Social Entrepreneur Coach and Top-Rated Podcast Host Paul Zelizer | The Official Do Good Better Podcast #322

    Today's Five-Star Guest is Paul Zelizer. 

    Paul Zelizer is a leading social entrepreneur coach who helps founders & leaders increase their impact, profitability and quality of life.

    Paul always knew that his purpose was to help people and work to make the world a better place. So when it came time to choose a career, he went into community mental health and organizing.  Much of that work was in the culturally rich communities of Northern New Mexico.  

    For 15 years, Paul had the honor of doing things like:
    Working to end violence against womenEngaging young men as fathersSupporting indigenous communities to return to restorative practices when their kids got involved with the court system.It was great to work! But after 15 years, Paul had compassion fatigue and was tired of fighting for scraps when it came to resources.
    Paul's  heart told him that there must be a way to harness the power of business - one of the biggest engines in modern life - for GOOD.

    BEST OF EPISODE: Truth Bombs For The Nonprofit World With GiveMN & RaiseMN's Courtney Backen | The Official Do Good Better Podcast #321

    BEST OF EPISODE: Truth Bombs For The Nonprofit World With GiveMN & RaiseMN's Courtney Backen | The Official Do Good Better Podcast #321

    Today's Five-Star Guest is Courtney Backen, Director of Community and Capacity Development for GiveMN and RaiseMN.

    Courtney leads the charge on resource and tool building for GiveMN and RaiseMN.
    With a background in fundraising for several Minnesota-based organizations like Friends of the Hennepin County Library, Environment Minnesota, and Minnesota Public Radio, Courtney helps provide fundraising tools and resources that take nonprofits and schools to the next level.
    Courtney graduated from Concordia College-Moorhead with an English Literature degree (her favorite authors are Haruki Murakami and Louise Erdrich) and received her master’s in Nonprofit Management from Hamline University.
    When she’s not fundraising, you can find Courtney knitting, shopping at Trader Joe’s or taste-testing the newest Haribo gummy flavor.

    RaiseMN is the answer to years of research, listening, and planning as the GiveMN board and staff sought to fill the critical gap identified by Minnesota nonprofits: a lack of confidence that organizational fundraising strategy and infrastructure will keep up with the demands of their missions, especially among small- to medium-sized nonprofits.

Informative and Engaging!

I recently stumbled upon this podcast, and it's quickly become one of my favorites. The conversations are always engaging, and the topics are relevant to anyone interested in making a positive impact in the world. Patrick is a fantastic host who brings on guests with diverse perspectives and expertise. As a listener, I truly feel like I'm a part of a community of people who care deeply about doing good in the world!

CDB Running ,

Practical and uplifting

When the doing good gets hard… just listen to Patrick. I love the uplifting tone and optimism combined with real, actionable advice. The conversations are genuine, informative, and leave me feeling a little more ready to take on the day’s goals.

Guillaume Wiatr ,

This show will motivate you to go from good to great

It’s easy to second-guess yourself if you’re running a small non-profit, but it shouldn’t be that way. This show gives a ton of new ideas, perspectives, and tips. The energetic Patrick Kirby knows how to get the best from his guests (I experienced it first-hand as one of them). This is a must-listen podcast for anyone looking to make a difference in this world.
