The Idealist in Residence | People of Substance with Tim Parsons

On this episode of People of Substance by LemonSkies, I sat down with Tim Parsons. Tim is a connector of people and ideas, champion of community, and proud owner of six cats (yes, six — and he has a favorite).

Tim has spent his career thinking deeply about how to get people genuinely involved in causes they care about and creating gathering spaces — like the Social Impact Supper Club — for social impact folks to think out loud together.

We get into volunteering, why lumping everyone into a single "volunteer" identity does a disservice, and a recently released metric that puts the value of a volunteer hour at $34 — and why that number, however well-intentioned, might be asking the wrong question. We also talk about video, storytelling, and what it takes to build community that actually sticks.

Good conversation with a genuinely good human. Enjoy!
