He Quit His Job, Sold His House, and Moved to Nicaragua — Here’s Why | Persisting in Purpose Podcast

Описание: What happens when your purpose becomes your pressure?

In this episode of Persisting in Purpose, Greg sits down with SuNica founder Alan Wilser to explore the realities of building a mission-driven nonprofit from the ground up. From quitting his engineering job and moving to Nicaragua to launching clean water systems and youth discipleship programs, Alan shares the behind-the-scenes journey of leading with conviction — even when the path is unclear.

They discuss fundraising anxiety, entrepreneurial side ventures like house flipping, leadership evolution, and the challenge of sustaining impact across cultures and continents. Alan also opens up about seasons where he questioned whether he was meant to continue leading SuNica — and how clarity emerged through faith, community, and organizational growth.

This episode is essential listening for nonprofit leaders, entrepreneurs, founders, and anyone navigating long-term calling, leadership fatigue, and the intersection of mission and business strategy.
