The Crossman Conversation

Tuesday, April 14, 2026 - 30 minutes

 

 In this episode of The Crossman Conversation, John Crossman interviews Christian LeFer of Instant Nonprofit on how entrepreneurs and families can launch a 501(c)(3) quickly and create lasting community impact. Christian explains how removing IRS bureaucracy empowers people to “be the change they want to see,” while John emphasizes action-driven generosity: “If somebody has an opinion on a social topic, I want to see them write a check and get involved.” Together, they explore nonprofit legacy-building, business-aligned foundations, and why “there’s nothing wrong with doing well while doing good.” A practical conversation for leaders ready to turn purpose into measurable impact.
