Ep.6: Amy and 3 Friends Start a Yoga Military Nonprofit (TRIBE)!
Have you ever considered forming a nonprofit? Then get inspired by Amy Gatzemeyer as she discusses her experience of working with a team of friends to start the nonprofit, TRIBE, which provides yoga to active duty military members. We'll discuss how the four founders connected, what the process of starting the nonprofit was like, and how the founders maintained the organization's operations even after moving away from each other and while tackling major life events.
On my personal Go Find Out update, I'll talk about sticking to a routine that includes a morning workout and how I just need to suck it up and make a decision on whether to outsource having an ebook cover made (versus saving money and making a poor cover myself).
