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!
