Hi friends. I'm Hillary Frances from Flying Whale Strategies, and I wanna tell you about my latest offering a podcast. It's called Tailwinds Ideas Fueling Nonprofit Innovators and Social Entrepreneurs. Tailwinds is designed to bring momentum to the leaders tackling the world's most impossible problems. When I listen to what so many of you are hungry for, it isn't generalizations like how to improve your grant writing or program evaluation 1 0 1. You're ready for something more nuanced and tactical. So on this show, I'm distilling the workshops I've taught, the frameworks we've built together in coaching, and the lessons I've learned from organizations across the country. And I'm pairing those with conversations with nonprofit innovators and social entrepreneurs who are in the work every single day. You're going to hear from a social and environmental entrepreneur in Bali about how to prepare your organization for big bet philanthropy. From a nonprofit leader who sits on boards in Jackson Hole and Washington DC about building the kind of board you actually want to serve on from a team in Lafayette, Louisiana, who redesigned their annual report. So people finally read it from a director of data and analytics in Los Angeles, who rallied his team to measure an outcome they once thought was impossible. And from the executive director of a new museum in New York City about the difference between anti-racism and collective liberation, and how to know what your organization is ready for. These guests aren't celebrities. They're your peers, and my commitment is to interview them in a way that's not about entertainment or showing off, but about helping you master your craft. Starting in January, I'll release a new episode every two weeks. Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts so you never miss an episode. Tailwinds is a production of Flying Whale Strategies, equipping teams to solve impossible problems.
