Incredibly informative and interesting!

The service as an Executive Director of a small nonprofit, I cannot say enough how much I am learning through this podcast. Julia has a great knack for interviewing individuals that does not seem scripted and the conversations are always relevant and engaging. I especially appreciate her understanding of Nonprofits and the recent podcast on bilingual content and fundraising. I immediately shared it with my entire staff. Buen hecho!

Great questions, great conversations!

I really appreciate the planning that goes into the questions Julia asks her guests. I love a meandering conversation on a podcast, don’t get me wrong, but the way Julia guides the conversation through different valuable topics makes me feel like I’m learning a lot in a short time without it being overwhelming. I love your style, Julia, and everything I’ve heard from you and your guests so far!

Julia is so awesome! Compelling show!

Julia is a breath of fresh air to what is normally seen as a mundane and bland industry/topic of nonprofits. Julia digs deep with her guests and consistently pulls out GOLD to inspire and empower all of us. Thank you Julia! Let’s go NonProfit Nation!
Heather Eve

So informative

IlanaBernstein

Inspirational and down to earth

I look forward to hearing Julia Campbell’s newest episode of NonProfit Nation each week. It feels like I’m sitting very naturally around a kitchen table, comfortably, with Julia, and her out-of-this-world guests. It’s such a wonderful opportunity to learn from them, to be inspired in more ways than I ever thought possible, and to get a confidence boost after each interview.

Great insights, great guests

I recently listened to the episode with Kivi Leroux Miller and she had some great insight into how to develop marketing strategies to take a passion project from a mission to a fully-developed organization that can impact the community at large. As a small business owner, I’m always striving to find better ways to market to my target audience and find new clients and this episode gave me ideas on how I can implement some best practices into my company, not just from the perspective of a nonprofit organization. Julia asked thought-provoking questions which allowed Kivi to respond with great detail on her experiences and knowledge - a true testament to her hosting.

Julia brings such an amazing energy to the nonprofit sector. Her podcast is a cutting edge gathering of the most innovative and interesting people who are moving the sector forward. Do NOT miss it!

Valuable, Easy to Implement Lessons

I am a huge fan of industry information that is not just interesting or thought provoking, but that also provides actionable takeaways to help me do my job better or more efficiently. That is exactly what Julia and her guests provide through this podcast. I am thankful Bloomerang introduced me to this incredible thought leader and nonprofit/social media guru. Her resources, including this podcast, are second to none. In a content saturated world, Julia’s content is what you want and need. All the episodes are great, but episode four with Sabrina Walker Hernandez was phenomenal and I’ve recommended it to my boss and AFP connections. A must listen for development professionals and executive directors. Invest in yourself, subscribe to this podcast and Julia’s other offerings. You will learn and grow substantially.

An excellent listen for growth mindset nonprofits professionals

Julia brings such a refreshing lens to the nonprofit landscape with her expert tutelage, smart marketing savvy and staunch commitment to inclusivity. I’ve taken something valuable away from each episode that’s applicable to my professional and personal career, and I’ve found her guests to be exceptional. Highly recommend for nonprofit friends looking to level up their strategy and growth potential.

Phenomenal! Smart, funny, timely + actionable.

Wow! I listened today during my morning class (aka while I get ready for the day) and it was the perfect addition to my routine. Julia gets it and having Beth Kanter on Ep 1 shows it. The conversation is timely and I’m amazed at how much was covered in a short amount of time. I’m excited and looking forward to all that’s to come on this show. Congratulations, Julia!
