Celebrating Failures: A New Approach to “Pluck Ups” with Liz Bohannon

What if failure wasn’t something to fear—but something to celebrate?

In this episode of Missions to Movements, I sit down with the incredible Liz Bohannon—entrepreneur, author of Beginner’s Pluck, and our keynote speaker for the 2025 Monthly Giving Summit! Liz is known for her bold approach to leadership, her passion for impact-driven work, and her unique take on what it really means to “pluck up.”

She shares how the stories we tell ourselves about failure can either hold us back in shame or propel us toward resilience. One of my favorite moments? When Liz recounts a time she misinterpreted an audience member’s reaction during a talk—only to later find out they were creating art inspired by her words. (Talk about a plot twist!)

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✅ Why “failure funerals” can help you move forward instead of staying stuck
✅ How embracing the Beginner’s Pluck mindset led Liz to found Sseko Designs
✅ The power of curiosity in entrepreneurship and nonprofit leadership
✅ How Sseko’s recent merger with Noonday Collection expands their mission
✅ Lessons Liz will share in her Monthly Giving Summit keynote

This episode is an absolute must-listen for nonprofit leaders looking to take bold risks, build thriving communities, and turn setbacks into stepping stones.
