In this interview on the Hustle in Faith Podcast, LaTosha Johnson sits down with Sharmon Lebby, a nonprofit consultant and founder of Blessed Designs Consulting, to break down what most nonprofit founders get wrong early on and how to build a nonprofit the right way from the start.
You’ll learn:
The most common mistakes new nonprofit founders make (and how to avoid them)
Whether you actually need a 501(c)(3) or a different nonprofit structure
Why nonprofits struggle when they’re passion-driven but lack business systems
How branding + storytelling help you attract the right donors and volunteers
Why collaboration matters more than competition in mission-driven work
How faith can fuel practical, everyday action in social impact and justice work
Sharmon also shares details about her upcoming nonprofit academy, designed to help you go from idea → foundation → launch with clarity, strategy, and sustainability.
Whether you’re a nonprofit founder, nonprofit leader, or someone with a mission-driven idea, this conversation is packed with practical insight to help you create impact without burning out.
