Joy Currey joins the show today to talk with Rob and Jes about nonprofit iteration, the importance of a good team, and the strength of triangles. Joy grew up on a farm, taught in schools in Philadelphia and Brooklyn, and in 2008 founded CORRAL, a faith-motivated nonprofit that prepares adolescent girls in high-risk situations with skills, resources, and opportunities so they can gain access to bright futures.
