Being Curious, Empathetic, Affirming, and Helpful — with Tim Parsons
Update: 2025-10-01
Description
We were delighted to be Tim Parsons’ first-ever podcast, and what a deep conversation it was. From Dungeons & Dragons to empathy to disorienting dilemmas and beyond, Tim showed us why having different people in the room allows us to do big things.
Along the way we dived into —
- Why our work requires idealists, realists, AND practical-ists
- Moving people along the journey of transformative volunteering
- Putting people outside their comfort zones to build real connection
- One wish Tim would make to improve the social sector
It’s practical, it’s honest, and (as always) there’s good nonsense along the way. If you know a nonprofiteer we should invite on the show, let us know at hello@goodnonsense.org!
