About this episode

Patrick Kirby discusses entrepreneurship and the importance of soft skills in business success.

Today's guest is Patrick Kirby, founder of Do Good Better Consulting, where he specializes in nonprofit fundraising coaching and consulting, among other entrepreneurial hats he wears. In this episode Patrick and I talk about what it means to be an entrepreneur: embodying characteristics like self-trust, audacity, and a willingness to deviate from conventional paths. We also talked about how "soft skills" like leadership, communication, and building connections are actually essential to business and life success. Patrick talked about how he is relaunching Do Good University, an online community platform for nonprofits to allow them to learn and connect with others in their field. Patrick shared the information and the process he went through when writing his two books, "Fundraise Awesomer," and "Fundraise Like a 5th Grader." Find Patrick at www.dogoodbetterconsulting.com.
