#7: AJ Renold: Thinking Strategically in a Not-for-Profit Setting

David Flint talks with Voices for Children Executive Director AJ Renold about the complexities of building strategy in a not-for-profit environment. Considering and serving a wide range of stakeholders, finding common language to foster communication and protecting critical resources are just a few of issues AJ is addressing using the V-REEL Framework as a guide. And the stakes are high. Voices for Children is a nationally recognized CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) organization serving children in the foster care system through an army of highly trained and exceptionally dedicated volunteers.

#18: Mark and Bethany Douglass Part II—V-REEL for the Whole Family

In Part II of my conversation with Mark and Bethany Douglass, we talk about how the L in V-REEL, Longevity, helps them carry out their family mission statement— training their children in an atmosphere that seeks creativity, education, and fosters the entrepreneurial spirit in their kids.  Bethany is quick to point out that as a family, they apply V-REEL to more than business/financial decisions. It also works with abstract and emotional goals and helps the kids better understand who they are. Both creative thinkers, Mark as an executive with Fidelis Creative Agency, and Bethany as a popular lifestyle blogger, this couple has a lot to teach all of us about strategy for business and for life. https://archive.org/download/MarkBethanyPart2/Mark%20%26%20Bethany%20Part.mp3
