Description

Nonprofiteers may not think of “democracy work” as nonprofit work, but it absolutely is. On this episode, Apathy is Boring’s executive director Sam Reusch talks about how democracy is an ongoing conversation—one that helps us decide what type of country, province, or community we want.


Along the way we dive into —



  • Redefining democracy beyond elections

  • Why apathy isn’t indifference, it’s disconnection

  • How nontraditional work can create nonprofit leaders

  • And one wish Sam 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!
