Creating Good with Matt Barnes

Our guest today is Susan Kenny, CEO of UPLIFT Yoga Foundation, a nonprofit that focuses on the mental wellness of teenagers. Susan describes herself as a “Do Gooder” looking to change the world positively. She’s a professional fundraiser, a compassionate communicator, and connects with positive changemakers. Having spent over 20 years in the nonprofit space, raising funds and working with nonprofits like the Ronald McDonald House, Muscular Dystrophy Association, and Do GOODer Partners, we can’t wait for you to hear what she has to say.

So sit back, relax, and listen to us cover such topics as:

• Why nonprofits have a scarcity mindset
