New Podcast Interview Drop: The Power of Specializing (The Biz of Nonprofit Consultants)

Hi friends and followers! I’m excited to share a new podcast interview today.

Natalie Eckdahl was kind enough to invite me onto the Biz of Nonprofit Consultants podcast (Episode #12). I was a huge fan and regular listener to her first pocast (The Biz Chix Podcast), so it was an honor to be invited as a guest early on in the launch of her new podcast! We discussed the changes in my business once I niched and specialized in e-learning instructional design for public health organizations.
