About this listen
In this episode, we talk with our most recent leadership team member, Gustavo Santos, and spend some time talking about what it really takes to grow well as a nonprofit.We explore three common challenges we see as organizations scale: leadership strain, systems that lag behind growth, and the human realities of staffing, culture, and capacity. Drawing on real experiences from our own team and our work alongside nonprofits, we talk about why these moments aren’t signs of failure — they’re signals that it’s time to pause, reflect, and build support.Using gardening metaphors (yes, including tomatoes), we unpack why pruning, pacing, and strong structures are essential for sustainable impact. Growth doesn’t have to mean burnout or chaos — it can be thoughtful, healthy, and life-giving.If you’re feeling stretched, overwhelmed, or unsure whether your organization is growing in the right way, this conversation is for you. These challenges are normal, solvable, and often full of possibility — and we’d love to walk alongside you as you navigate them.Visit kaci.io to learn more or book a call with us. Let’s build something sustainable—together.
