Matt George and I live in the same town, but we hadn’t met until we recorded today’s interview. Oh sure… I had heard of Matt. After all, he is the CEO of Children’s Home Association of Illinois. I knew of the work that he did. I also knew that he had a book out for nonprofits.
But I did not fully realize how innovative Matt’s approach was until I started looking more closely.
In fact, Kevin Harrington who is known as the “inventor of the infomercial” and was the original Shark on Shark Tank says Matt George’s new book “Nonprofit Game Plan” is a game changer and he called Matt the “nonprofit CEO of our time.”
So, obviously, I had to talk to Matt… and let you listen in on that conversation.
