E106: Lessons from a Nonprofit Incubator for Founders Who Want to Create Real Impact with Ben Williamson

Episode notes

I'm excited to welcome Ben Williamson to the Lead With Heart Podcast. Ben is the Director of Recruitment at Ambitious Impact, a dynamic organization, reshaping how we identify and support the next generation of nonprofit leaders. He works with their Charity Entrepreneurship program, an incubator for nonprofits, where he helps people move from good intentions to real-world impact. Ben brings a refreshingly honest and insightful perspective to the table from hard-earned lessons of starting and shutting down a charity that wasn't delivering results, to focusing on what really matters to create impact, to spotting the unexpected qualities that make founders thrive.
