On the Ground

Nonprofit leaders in the trenches

As CEO of The Kipos Group, James Misner has spent years in the trenches with nonprofit leaders, understanding the challenges they face and the solutions that create lasting impact.

“On the Ground” brings those conversations to you—unfiltered insights by nonprofit leaders, for nonprofit leaders.

Real Leaders. Real Challenges. Real Solutions.

Join us for honest conversations from the field about what’s actually working in nonprofit leadership and growth.

From the Trenches to Your Headphones

This isn’t another podcast about fundraising theory or leadership platitudes.

These are real conversations with the people doing the work—CEOs navigating organizational growth, development directors building sustainable revenue systems, program leaders scaling impact, and board members stewarding missions through change.

Each episode goes deep into what’s actually working (and what’s not) in the nonprofit sector. We talk about the messy middle of growth, the hard decisions that keep you up at night, and the breakthrough moments that make it all worth it.

Whether you’re leading a $500K organization or a $50M operation, if you’re committed to turning mission into sustainable impact, this podcast is for you.
