They discuss their company\u2019s experiences with cultural barriers and how they\u2019re able to understand clients\u2019 pain points and help find solutions to complex issues. They share how their background in law enforcement shaped the vision of who they want to serve through their business. They explain how their social enterprise is organized and the growth they\u2019ve experienced, and how they have created a case management system that is hugely beneficial across three continents to help as many people as possible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Gary and Sarah talk about how ECINS has remained a self-sustaining organization, along with the leadership challenges they\u2019ve encountered. They share how their own early struggles as a social enterprise influenced them to want to help nonprofits with similar problems and be able to respond quickly to an organization\u2019s needs with no caveats or fine print. Finally, Gary and Sarah address what it\u2019s like to work together as a married couple and why teamwork and passion about the work you\u2019re doing can make all the difference!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nonprofitleadershippodcast.org\/how-a-social-enterprise-is-combining-software-with-a-human-centered-approach\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><em><strong>Listen to the podcast here &gt;<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gary &amp; Sarah Pettengell were interviewed for the Nonprofit Leadership Podcast.
