Bettering Businesses (and Nonprofits) #205

Small businesses and nonprofits often have much to offer, but may not have the resources or support they need. How do we help them maximize the work they are doing? Through mentoring and leadership programs, both of which are readily available in Maine. Today we discuss these with Jula Sampson, a mentor with the Top Gun program, and Jan Kearce of Lift360.
