Confessions with Jess and Cindy

Ever wish you could pull back the curtain and see how other nonprofit consultants run their businesses? Well, we’ve got you covered! Welcome to the Confessions podcast, hosted by Jess Campbell and Cindy Wagman. We are two former in-house nonprofit pros turned coaches and consultants to purpose driven organizations. 

In this podcast, we are giving you access to the business leaders who serve nonprofits as their clients - you know - the people who truly get it. No more gatekeeping, no more secrets - this podcast is going to give you an inside look at what running a successful nonprofit coaching and consulting business looks like. Basically, we’re asking people how much money they make, how they get paid and what has and hasn’t worked in their businesses.

After building our own successful 6-figure nonprofit coaching and consulting businesses, we are on a mission to help other nonprofit coaches and consultants looking to start or scale their own businesses by pulling back the curtain. 

Whether you are still working inside a nonprofit and thinking of one day going out on your own or have been running your consulting business for years - you understand that working with nonprofits is just different. Listen in as sector leaders and other experts share their insights, their numbers, and the good, the bad and the ugly when it comes to building a nonprofit coaching or consulting business.

Better than business school

If you don’t listen to this podcast, you’re missing out! I’ve been listening to it since well before I opened my own business and it’s better than most paid programs out there. I’ve learned so much on how to productize services, set boundaries, and think about sustainable growth. Thank you, Jess and Cindy, for your transparency, always delivering value and teaching me so much!

You get it OMG

Finally business advice that gets where I’m coming from! Working with nonprofits IS different. And while I’d apply many other business tactics to my work, it’s good to hear from successful entrepreneurs who get it. LOVE!

Your Go-To Place for Nonprofit Consultants

OMGEEE! Cindy and Jess are absolutely fabulous and really dig in. I love that this show isn't afraid to go into the dirt of behind-the-scenes with consultants, but also scrub it away and look at the diamonds. They are wonderful hosts and highlight an 'under-the-radar' industry that deserves its place in the limelight! ~ Holly Rustick, CEO of Grant Writng & Funding

Essential and Delightful

If you’re working with nonprofit orgs, you need to be in these rooms! Cindy and Jess are both fantastic as what they do professionally, but the real power of this podcast is in their willingness and ability to really…confess(!) just how hard it is to build a flourishing consulting business. More and more of us are going to be starting businesses like theirs, and Confessions can be an essential resource for shortening the learning curve to success.

Finally!

After being a nonprofit consultant for years, I finally have a pod that answers all my questions. It can feel like a really lonely space, and I’m grateful for this access behind the curtain of successful and thriving np consultants. I binged all the episodes today!
Rachel Bearbower

Heck yes, my new favorite pod

An honest and refreshing podcast. So grateful to Jess and Cindy for creating something that’s been missing from the nonprofit sector for too long. There is just something that makes nonprofits different and I will be anxiously waiting to devour every new episode.

Candid helpful shop talk with pros

Jess and Cindy are successful biz leaders serving nonprofits and understand the unique complexities of serving these folks. Love how they share about their successes and failures, learnings and decisions they’ve made in their businesses. This is a gift to other biz leaders. “How they built this” for nonprofit service providers. Love!
