Lisa Nelson works to bring sustainable business practices to the nonprofit world through her consulting firm Focus and Flow [http://www.focus-flow.com/].

We also talk about childhood experiences that helped form her worldview, ways that nonprofits can make their mission truly sustainable without burning out their employees or the checkbook, her experience of losing religion and the different healing modalities she has tried during her health journey.
