    05: How Rachel Cahill Started and Grew Her SNAP Consultancy to Six Team Members
    May 22 2024

    You will enjoy this update episode as I interview Rachel Cahill in Spring 2024, one year after we recorded episode #4.

    As with many nonprofit consultants, she is an accidental business owner.

    In this episode, I dive deep into HOW Rachel became a consultant and she shares that she doubled her team in the last year from three to six team members. She also discusses the importance of maintaining a vision and being selective with projects to ensure meaningful impact.

    I especially enjoyed hearing Rachel’s passion for the anti-hunger advocacy and policy work she and her team champion.

    Her company, Rachel Cahill Consulting (RCC) is a specialty policy and advocacy consulting firm serving anti-hunger and anti-poverty organizations across the United States.

    04: Part 1-How She Hired BOTH at Home and the Business with SNAP Policy Expert Rachel Cahill
    May 22 2024

    A year ago (Spring 2023), I interviewed my client Rachel Cahill about how she expanded her capacity in her business by hiring BOTH in her business and her home.

    If you’ve been looking for permission to get support where you really need it, then this episode is for you.

    Rachel shares about the mindset issues she encountered along her hiring journey and the challenges and benefits she has experienced, including being able to take on more projects and have more impact to those experiencing food scarcity.

    Her company, Rachel Cahill Consulting (RCC), offers numerous services to anti-hunger organizations, with a focus on increasing nationwide access to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) through administrative and legislative advocacy for long-lasting policy change.
