That conversation became this episode. Jody is President and CEO of Social Current, a national network of nearly 1,800 human service organizations, and the founder of Five & Rising, a movement to revalue, reframe, and rebuild how the social sector is funded and supported. Together they trace how a sector representing 5.3% of U.S. GDP has been systematically funded like a workaround, what it would take to change that, and why getting there matters for every community.\nGuest LinksFive & RisingSocial CurrentJody on LinkedInSocial Current on InstagramReferenced in this episodeUnCharitable FilmDan Pallotta TED Talk Independent Sector ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/P3wg-xEkpRvkpDT15uNl06Lyxqq441lxmltvmKML17Q/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8xODll/MmJhYWIwMGZhNGRl/ODI0NjVlMDg2YjE0/ZDI0My5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
