Season 3, Episode 5 - When the goal is going out of business - a podcast by On The Heels of Innovation

from 2020-05-26T15:20:17

:: ::

With Nick Black, co-founder and chairman of Stop Soldier  Suicide; CEO and founder of GoodUnited; MBA alumnus of Kenan-Flagler  Business School.


Army veteran Nick Black’s entrepreneurial journey  began when he moved into live combat just seven days into his first  deployment. He learned to be part of a team and accomplish what seemed  impossible. But after losing many friends and fellow service members to  suicide over time – more than were lost to the enemy – he founded the  nonprofit Stop Soldier Suicide to get service members the support they  need. Black discusses how Stop Solider Suicide thinks about its exit  strategy: to find a solution so that the organization no longer needs to  exist. Hear his perspectives on learning through failure, the  difference between helping and solving, and why he launched a new  venture called GoodUnited that allows other nonprofits to create  meaningful experiences for every donor.
