Description

Your vision is too big to keep putting off.

I'm Lisa Avila, and this podcast is about creating impact and legacy by starting or scaling a nonprofit. We dig into the real strategy behind building organizations that change lives.

If you've been told you can't make money AND change the world, you're in the right place. I've worked for nonprofits, served on nonprofit boards, and I'm here to share what I've learned so women entrepreneurs can see that they can start their own nonprofits and pursue their big vision.

We're going to talk about making money while saving the world. About creating generational wealth and sharing it with other women. About what it looks like when you're building impact and legacy, when you're hopeful because you're changing lives and seeing the outcomes.

In some episodes, I'm walking you through frameworks and real decisions. Others, I'm sitting down with women who are building their nonprofits in real time. Every conversation is about turning ideas into strategy and strategy into impact.

This is for the woman who's ready to make her nonprofit work, whether she's been running one for years or she's finally ready to start.

Let's get to work.
