Big Brave Business

Sarah Heeter

Big Brave Business is a podcast where we challenge the status quo of traditional business practices. Are you ready to challenge norms, rewrite the rules, and redefine what it means to lead with courage and integrity?

Episode

One of the things I’ve been thinking about for my own business is staring a non-profit/charitable arm in the Podfox umbrella. But meeting Paulaska Ramirez, my guest today, led to my realization that I never considered a non-profit as a business structure when I first became an entrepreneur. I definitely had the mindset that I was “staring a business” with the intention to make money… but I mean, CEOs of non-profits should get salaries, too. The point isn’t that the team can’t get paid (although that’s not currently Paulaska’s focus) but that the organization itself is not working to earn a profit. Even with a profit-oriented business (a sole proprietorship, partnership, LLC, S-Corp, so many options for business entities!), you can still *also* have a non-profit. How does that work? What would that look like? What are the challenges? We’re discussing that and more in today’s episode with Paulaska.
