The Disruptor Podcast
"The Disruptor Series," your blueprint for groundbreaking innovation, started as a periodic segment of the Apex Podcast. This is not your standard conversation around Design Thinking or Product Market Fit—this is the series that dares to go beyond conventional wisdom, confronting the status quo and exposing the raw power of disruptive thinking.
Our journey begins with intensely provocative dialogues that set the stage for the unexpected. With a focus on Experience Disruptors, Product Market Fit, and a host of other captivating topics, we bring you face-to-face with the ideas that are flipping the script on traditional buying and selling experiences.
But we don't stop at ideas; we dive into their real-world applications. "The Disruptor" brings you an unfiltered look into the lives and minds of those who are either being disrupted, creating disruption, or strategically navigating through disruption.
Our guests range from industry veterans to daring newcomers, all willing to share their experiences in shifting the paradigms that define their stakeholders' experiences.
If you're tired of business as usual and eager to question the preconceived notions that hold back innovation, "The Disruptor Series" is your ticket to a transformative journey. Tune in, disrupt yourself, and become an agent of change in an ever-evolving landscape.

Leading with Purpose the Not-for-Profit Board's Guide. Hi everyone, welcome to this inaugural edition of Boardroom Bound, a new sub-series of the Disruptor Podcast. I'm your host, john Kuntz, and I recently published a book entitled the Board Builder's Blueprint A Strategic Guide to Creating Exceptional Not-for-Profit Leadership. The book's based on my 35 plus years of experience on serving on not-for-profit boards. I'm a veteran of the not-for-profit world and my goal for this sub-series is to guide you through the ins and outs of building an exceptional not-for-profit board. If you're a board member, board chair, executive director, ceo, aspiring board member, this series is for you. It's your blueprint for success.
Speaker 1:In today's episodes, we'll be exploring the fundamental truth a high-performance board isn't a luxury, it's a necessity. Effective governance is your lifeline in a landscape of shrinking donor pools and fierce competition. Remember, you're leading a group of passionate individuals who are responsible for the fate of your organization. We'll then shift the perspective from the usual CEO-centric narrative to the board member's viewpoint. By understanding their roles and their responsibilities, you'll cultivate the empathy needed to recruit, engage and retain top tier talent. Now let's talk about a common pitfall letting your programming outpace your funding. This is a classic mistake, and not-for-profits are just as vulnerable. We'll explore on how to align your programs and your mission and your resources.
Speaker 1:I'm a firm believer in the power of disruption. Therefore, this series will challenge the status quo, learn from my own mistakes and embrace innovation and approaches to decision-making. We'll cover everything from legal duties to stakeholder responsibilities, focusing on practical strategies you can implement immediately. By the end of this series, you'll have a toolkit for prioritizing initiatives that maximize your mission, your impact, without sacrificing financial sustainability. So buckle up, get ready to disrupt and let's redefine what is possible for your organization. Again, remember, please subscribe to this Disruptor podcast series for more insights and information. If you're ready to take your board to the next level, check out my book, the Board Builder's Blueprint, which is available on Amazon, and, of course, feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn. So again, I'm John Kuntz. Thanks for joining us in this edition of the Disruptor podcast. Please look forward to our future sub segments of the Board Builders Blueprint, board Room Bound, and until next time, have a great day, keep disrupting, keep leading and keep making a difference.
