New Book Release: Plan It. Fund It. Grow It.
What does it really take to build a nonprofit or startup that can survive, grow, attract support, and create lasting impact?
In this episode of the New Skills Online Podcast, Marcus and Sarah take a closer look at Dr. Margaret Jamal's new book, Plan It. Fund It. Grow It.: The R.A.T.E.S.™ Framework for Building and Sustaining Impact Nonprofits and For-Profit Startups.
This is not simply a conversation about writing a business plan. It is about building an organization that is actually ready to operate, ready to collaborate, ready to communicate its value, and ready to pursue funding with confidence.
Who Is Governing Your AI?
AI is saving time and expanding capacity inside nonprofits, businesses, and ministries — but the more authority we hand it, the more intentional we must be about governing it. In this episode, Dr. Margaret Jamal asks the question no leadership team can afford to ignore: who is governing your AI?
She walks through the 5 questions every organization should answer before AI gets more authority — starting with "What information should never be entered into an AI system?" — and shows why AI governance isn't an IT issue. It's a leadership issue. An accountability issue. A trust issue. Because your AI shouldn't quietly become the most influential "employee" in your organization simply because nobody established the rules.
