S12 E15 The Power of Purpose: Nick Grono's Lessons in Non-Profit Leadership

FOMO Sapiens with Patrick J. McGinnis

What does it take to lead a nonprofit in today’s world? This week on FOMO Sapiens, Nick Grono, author of "How to Lead Nonprofits" and CEO of the Freedom Fund, an organization dedicated to ending modern slavery, joins Patrick J. McGinnis and shares his journey that began at 16, sailing around the globe and learning the discipline that would shape his career. Together, they dive into the experience of growing up on a 100-year-old sailing ship and leading a global organization that has liberated over 30,000 people from modern slavery. Nick challenges the conventional wisdom about non-profits, arguing that they require unique skills, emphasizes the importance of purpose-driven leadership, especially in times of crisis, and offers practical advice for anyone looking to get involved in non-profit work. This is a must-listen for anyone interested in making a real difference.
