Justin Recla:
Welcome back to Incorporating Superpowers. Today we are going to be looking at a different side of the business. One that some of you are probably not familiar with. And I know that there are a lot of you that are in this world of humanitarianism. Our conversation day is going to be around the Humanitarian Entrepreneur. My guest today is Tiffany Moore. She’s the CEO and founder of the Humanitarian Entrepreneur, and she is working in the world helping people who are passionate about humanitarian causes, doing good in the world, and are ready to step out on their own. Tiffany, welcome to the show.
Tiffany Moore:
Hi, Justin. Hi, everyone. It’s great to be here.
Justin Recla:
This is I, first and foremost, I love the work that you’re doing because I look out, I read through some of the copy on your website, whatnot, and you can tell that you’ve identified a section of business, people that are passionate and maybe working for a nonprofit, but maybe they’re not going as fast as they went to and they’re frustrated and they just don’t know what to do next, but they got involved in whatever the cause was because it’s what they’re passionate about and they want to make a change. So talk to me about, what is a humanitarian entrepreneur?
Tiffany Moore:
So humanitarian entrepreneurs are activists that are really passionate about changing the world. But entrepreneurs, are doing things on their own terms. So they’re changing the world on their own terms. And so they’re having the freedom to have their own thriving businesses making an impact in the world without burnout. Because that happens so often in the nonprofit world. You come into this space with high hopes and are just so excited, “I’m going to do so much good in the world.” And then the reality of how nonprofits are really hit you. And especially those that have been in for a lot longer, maybe five or 10 years, you’re super burned out. You’ve got a massive pile of student loan debt. You’re not having the life you want. And so humanitarian entrepreneurship is really it’s changing the world on your own terms. It’s creating that space that you know in your heart that you’re supposed to be doing in this world, but really also having a thriving life as well.
Justin Recla:
And having the courage to be able to do it on your own recognizing that the necessarily the old, not necessarily the old ways of business are, are the best way to provide those changes.
Tiffany Moore:
Exactly. And that’s something that is, it’s starting to change in the nonprofit space. There are starting to be these more conversations, but it’s very, very slow,ly unfortunately.
Justin Recla:
It is. And then I can only imagine how frustrating it is for somebody that’s maybe just recently graduated college. They’re passionate about the work that they’re doing. Maybe they join a nonprofit organization that’s in their field and doing the work that they’re doing only to find out that their hands are tied by the fact that there are budget constraints because there are not enough donors or the fact that the primary focus is on getting donors or that the things that actually cause change are being held up by a board that doesn’t necessarily have the same passion as the worker themselves.
Tiffany Moore:
Oh, absolutely. Or you’re super, super burned out. Like you have certain cases that you really want to spend more time with, but then you have 50, 100, depending on the structure of your organization. Other people are also demanding your attention, and it’s not what you thought going in. Yeah, absolutely.
Justin Recla:
I love this. We’re going to dive into some of the problems that you see in that sector and how you provide solutions to them on the back side of this conversation. But before we go into the break, where can people go find more information about you?
