045: If you're thinking about approaching a nonprofit with an idea you think could help them, first listen to this episode! We speak with Sasha Purpura, Executive Director of nonprofit Food for Free, about the best way to approach nonprofits you'd like to help. Sasha talks about why it's best to first volunteer at the nonprofit, and how you need to take on the responsibility of working out how you can help. Sasha explains how thinking on your feet and having deep ties with the community you serve is essential when leading a team through a disaster. She also shares her story of how she transitioned from a career in tech to leading a nonprofit working on an issue she is passionate about, and Sasha also has advice for those who are wanting to change careers.
