S2, E3: Eric Peterson
“The big thing is to find people who know the ground, know the turf, and are connected to the people” –Eric Peterson on working with nonprofits
In “Mobilizing Wealth for Public Impact” (Season 2, Episode 3) of the “PhilanthroThink Podcast,” Jonathan Harline and Titilayo Adedeji talk with Eric Peterson, co-founder of the Tula Foundation and founder of the Hakai Institute, about how he transitioned from running a for-profit, tech company to creating a nonprofit foundation, which works in BC and Guatemala, and about how he collaborates with Indigenous groups in BC. He also gets into how wealth should be put to work rather than saved or preserved. Listen or watch on YouTube, Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
