Ep 75: Failing Fast for better results with Diana Zhang from Neighbor Share - a podcast by Stu Swineford

Whether you're a seasoned nonprofit or just getting started, it's important to learn the concept of “failing fast.” Getting to a “no” quickly can help you achieve success and grow rather than limiting yourself and what you can do. 

On this week's Episode I spoke with Diana Zhang, CEO and Co-Founder of Neighbor Share, an organization that offers “micro-donations” directly to those who need it. Her organization gives contributions of less than $400 to people whose lives could be greatly affected by this contribution. 

Diana’s background is in finance so we had a great discussion about fundraising strategies, strategic partnerships, and her plan to scale her organization nationally. We discussed how the quickest way to achieve that scale is to fail quickly to gain insights into what’s not working so you can move on to new opportunities faster. 

This was a fascinating conversation and I hope you enjoy it.
