Mitch Silverstein on critical thinking, keeping it real, and looking beyond our differences

September 21, 2021 • Ally Celones Senturk / Alex Kaufman • Season 1 • Episode 4

Rebels, punks, outcasts, freaks. Some are born with a lot of sass or a chip on their shoulder. Some get fired up seeing the world for what it is. Whatever your deal is, this week’s guest, Mitch Silverstein, can probably relate (with a joke or two). Follow us down the rabbit hole as we explore mid-career pivots, common nonprofit misconceptions, and make a case for selfishness.
