Please Unsubscribe, Thanks! How to make your nonprofit more human

The Nonprofit Exchange: Leadership Tools & Strategies

In this episode of The Nonprofit Exchange, I had the pleasure of speaking with filmmaker and author Julio Gambuto. Julio shared insights from his journey in the film and television industry, particularly focusing on the lessons learned during the pandemic. His new book, "Please Unsubscribe, Thanks," serves as a guide for individuals and organizations to reevaluate their commitments and subscriptions in a world that often feels relentless and chaotic.

Julio emphasized the importance of creating sacred spaces for reflection and the need to step back from our busy lives to assess what truly matters. He discussed the three levels of subscriptions we engage with: digital, social, and the deeper beliefs we hold about success and fulfillment. By recognizing these subscriptions, we can begin to make intentional choices that align with our values and goals.

Throughout our conversation, we explored practical strategies for setting boundaries, saying no, and delegating tasks to create more space for meaningful work. Julio's perspective is particularly relevant for nonprofit leaders, who often find themselves caught in the hustle of doing more for their communities. He encouraged listeners to embrace feedback and to be mindful of how they show up in their organizations.

As we wrapped up, Julio reminded us to take the pressure off during the holiday season and to focus on relationships and community. His insights are a powerful reminder that we can create our own moments of celebration and connection, regardless of the time of year. I hope you enjoy this enlightening discussion as much as I did!
