On this episode of SIL, we’re joined by the new Executive Director of Plywood People, Matt Reynolds.

Matt leads the conversation with a powerful lineup of leaders: Jeff Shinabarger, Founder of Plywood People; Chanel Dokun, co-founder of Healthy Minds NYC, a therapy and coaching practice; and Christina Cummings, Executive Director of Kids2Leaders.

Together, they reflect on their experiences in Plywood’s “Layers” program—a space designed to help leaders go deeper, build strong models for their organizations, and face the hard questions that come with leadership.

Jeff shares the inspiration behind creating the Layers program, and the group explores the unique sense of community it fosters among both nonprofit and for-profit leaders. If you’ve ever longed for a space where you can be honest about the challenges of leadership, this episode is for you.
