Taking a nonprofit podcast to 100,000 downloads is not as easy as you think. Founding CEO of The Rose, Dorothy Gibbons, joins Freddy to talk about building a mission driven show, survivor stories, heavy episodes, nervous guests, and her retirement. They dig into play, grief, legacy, and what it means to leave while the work keeps going. About Speke Podcasting You don’t need another “piece of content.” You need a show your people actually want to binge. I’m Freddy Cruz, founder of Speke Podcasting. We produce podcasts for brands that are done waiting for “gatekeepers” to notice them. These are nonprofits, founders, experts, and troublemakers with something real to say. ​ From idea to launch, my team handles strategy, production, editing, and promotion so you can do the fun part: show up, speak your mind, and let the right listeners find you again and again.​ Want a podcast that sounds nothing like everybody else in your feed?
