In-Kind Chaos

In-Kind Chaos (IKC) is the podcast for nonprofit, NGO, and CBO workers who have stories they can't tell anywhere else — without getting fired. Hosted by Ashlea Hitchcock-Francis and Tia McLaurin, two nonprofit veterans turned big tech and state government insiders, IKC is where the sector finally gets to spill: donor drama, leadership chaos, burnout, budget nightmares, HR disasters, and the moments that almost broke you. Anonymous confessions, real talk, zero judgment. Executive directors, development directors, program staff, volunteers — if you lived it, we want to hear it. inkindchaos.com
