CFO Weekly
Navigating the Nonprofit World w/ Ed Goble
October 27, 2020
Like it or not, all across the business sector in the United States there is a certain stigma associated with nonprofit work. It’s often seen as the place where people go to work who couldn’t quite cut it in the for-profit world. As the do-gooders who don’t really need to make a living.  Nothing could be further from the truth. Nonprofit work is just as crucial to the movement of our economy and society as for-profit work. While it might oftentimes take on different forms, just because you’re not raking in billions for shareholders doesn’t mean that you’re not a professional doing meaningful work.  And on this episode of CFO Weekly, we sit down with Ed Goble. Ed is the Associate Athletic Director for Business & CFO at the University of Texas, which itself is an educational nonprofit. It’s just not the nonprofit that many people associate with traditional nonprofits.  Ed was kind enough to talk with us all about  His advice when considering a career change into the nonprofit world Why there is no specific personality type that works best with a nonprofit The biggest differences in the nonprofit and for-profit sectors How to build and establish relationships in the nonprofit world For more interviews from the CFO Weekly podcast, check us out on Apple or Spotify or your favorite podcast player!
