Nonprofit Futures Podcast: The Most Overlooked Asset in Nonprofit Work - Time Off
Full podcast & Vlog here.
There's something deeply contradictory at the heart of how we organize social change work in America. The people most committed to solving the world's pressing problems are systematically burning themselves out at rates that would shock us in any other sector. This isn't just unfortunate … it's strategically counterproductive.
Josh Feldman has spent years thinking about this paradox, and his nonprofit, R&R: The Rest of Our Lives, represents one of the most interesting experiments I've encountered in reimagining how we sustain the people doing society's most essential work. What makes their approach fascinating isn't just that they're advocating for rest—it's how they're thinking systematically about rest asinfrastructure for social change.
