Nonprofit Startup Podcast

The Nonprofit Startup Podcast is a new podcast that documents the success and setbacks of launching a nonprofit. Chronicling Nerdy Media’s founder and executive, La Toia’s journey to become a social entrepreneur. There are many podcast that explore the stories of technology, clothing, or products startup, but what does it take to launch a non profit organization in the 21st century. Season one is a real-time story of how the 501c3 Chicago-based organization Nerdy Media evolved from a concept to launching the first program addressing Chicago’s high youth unemployment. Through storytelling and candid conversations each episode explores the ah-ha moments and resources that helps La Toia realize her passion and pursuit for social impact and financial sustainability. * NOTE: Somehow you found my podcast that once upon a time a series of curated episodes with a solid launch strategy. Produced in 2015 and published in 2018, intended to inform and inspire social entrepreneurship. Not my best work, however I would rather share (but not promote) very rough edits and incomplete episodes that someone may find useful. Comments or questions? email info@nerdymedia.org

The fear of public speaking is real and very common affecting up to 75% of the population.

In this episode I add a new word to my vocabulary (pssst…it’s Glossophobia) and start preparing for my first public speaking opportunity.

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
