#123-What Stand Up Comedy Teaches about Nonprofit Communication with Carlos Maestas

Summary: <p>True story: on top of my nonprofit work, I'm an aspiring stand-up comedian.  And, lemme tell ya, it's rough out there for a comic.  Join me and fellow stand-up comedian and Chief Story Smith Carlos Maestas to talk about how to be a better communicator.  We talk about how to find your own story, why it's a good idea to not take yourself too seriously and how to get out of pitch mode and into real connection with funders.  This interview was a ton of fun and jam-packed with value bombs for those looking to be better storytellers, and communicators.</p> <p>For more about Carlos and to get his book, check it out here: https://www.keyideas.net/</p> <p>To see Carlos's very funny work for the Human Services Council, check it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gELZnORV4U&amp;feature=youtu.be</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/nonprofitlowdown/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/nonprofitlowdown/support</a>
