In episode, I speak with Brett Hagler, CEO and Co-founder, of New Story Homes, on using philanthropy and market-based solutions to solve the global housing crisis.The global housing crisis is a staggering issue, affecting 1.6 billion people who live without adequate housing. This crisis stifles the potential of millions of families, particularly women and children, across the globe.New Story Homes, a nonprofit organization, has set out to tackle this problem through a unique blend of philanthropy and market-based solutions.By integrating innovative technology with community-focused strategies, New Story Homes is revolutionizing the path to homeownership for vulnerable families.TakeawaysNew Story's journey began with a mission to help vulnerable families access life-changing housing, leading to a decade-long evolution of its strategy and model.The transition to a market-based solution involved challenges, resistance, and a two-year metamorphosis, resulting in a hybrid model that combines philanthropy with profitable financing and lending.The future of New Story involves executing its model to attract large pools of capital, focusing on creating a product that customers love, and building a track record for accessing significant funding.The conversation highlights the potential of market-based solutions in the nonprofit sector and the importance of addressing important social problems through innovative approaches.Sound Bites"I think you learn by doing.""I would love to try to help as many people as possible have life-changing housing."Empowering Through Land OwnershipAt the heart of New Story Homes' mission is the concept of land ownership. In many parts of Latin America, securing land is the first critical step towards economic stability and homeownership. New Story Homes helps families purchase land, build creditworthiness, and unlock home financing. This approach shifts families from being mere beneficiaries of charity to active participants in their journey out of poverty.By developing and selling land equipped with essential municipal utilities—water, sewage, electricity, and roads—at affordable monthly rates, New Story Homes ensures that these properties are not only accessible but also sustainable and integrated into the local urban context.Innovative Housing SolutionsOne of the standout innovations of New Story Homes is the use of 3D printing technology to build homes quickly and cost-effectively.This method significantly reduces construction time and expenses compared to traditional building techniques, making it possible to provide immediate relief to families in need.Beyond construction, New Story Homes focuses on the entire community-building process, developing housing products that meet the unique demands of local regions.Families can use their land as collateral to secure first-time home financing, allowing them to either purchase one of New Story's housing prototypes or self-build the home that best suits their needs.The Role of Philanthropy and Impact InvestmentsNew Story Homes recognizes that addressing the housing crisis requires a multifaceted approach. Philanthropy plays a crucial role in funding the initial stages of projects, allowing the organization to acquire land and develop infrastructure.However, to achieve scalable impact, New Story Homes pairs philanthropic funds with impact investments.This blend enables the organization to extend its reach further down the market, serving families who are often excluded from traditional housing solutions.By focusing on sustainable, market-based solutions, New Story Homes ensures that its initiatives not only provide immediate relief but also foster long-term economic growth and stability in the communities it serves.Success and Future InnovationsThe success of New Story Homes can be seen in the thousands of families who now live in safe, affordable homes in countries like Haiti, El Salvador, Mexico, and Bolivia. Each project is a testament to the power of innovation and community collaboration in solving one of the world's most pressing social issues.Looking ahead, New Story Homes continues to push the boundaries of what's possible in affordable housing, exploring new technologies and strategies to further reduce costs and increase the speed of home construction.

Knowing how and when to take that step is the crux of his conversation with Justin.Tune in to hear nonprofit leaders just like yourself discuss stretch goal strategies, the crossroads of opportunity and obligation, and the value of using software as a strategy.For full video interview --> https://www.youtube.com/@Funraiseplatform

"There is a decent chance that this works, and then if it works, and that if it can be what the vision and the promise is, then for our mission, which is to pioneer solutions to end global homelessness, it's actually irresponsible for us not to try it.” - Brett HaglerWhen age-old problems aren't being solved by current practices or aren't keeping up with the rate at which they are growing, new solutions are needed. But new solutions require innovative ideas and a perfect balance between boldness and being calculated to pull them off.Brett Hagler and his team at New Story think they have struck that balance. Their mission is to end global homelessness. To achieve this, they've conducted a rigorous analysis of what works and what doesn't within this space currently and developed a short list of things to be reimagined through New Story. Among the innovations to come from that approach has been their groundbreaking 100% funding model.In this episode, we're joined by Brett Hagler, the CEO and Co-Founder of New Story, as he shares insights into his "just go do it" mindset, offers advice on embracing "unreasonable" endeavors, and unveils the model that New Story has built to usher innovation into a pressing and rapidly escalating world issue.Contents1 - Brett's “just go do it” origin (1:47)2 - How New Story started (7:52)3 - Developing New Story's key goals (12:53)4 - The 100% model (15:14)5 - Listening to feedback from his team (19:01)LinksHistoric AgencyNew StoryNew Story | "No Small Dreams" (Documentary Film)Innovation - New StoryBrett Hagler - CEO, Co-Founder - New Story | LinkedInCulture Built My Brand

By 2030, the UN predicts that 3 billion people will be living without shelter. Today's guest is doing something to combat that.Brett Hagler is a Y Combinator graduate, a published author and cancer survivor, but you may know him best for his non-profit New Story and for his impactful key note speaking.Brett started New Story at 25 years old. In the years since they have funded over 2,300 homes, built 16 communities and raised over $25M, so it's no wonder they were named one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies in the World four different times.Having been featured in Forbes' 30 Under 30 and named one of the Top 100 Most Intriguing Entrepreneurs by Goldman Sachs, Brett is passionate about speaking on leadership and social entrepreneurship.Today, Brett and I are talking about:Building a venture-backed non-profitIncorporating startup principles in impact entrepreneurshipAnd taking innovation to those who need itBuilding something new?

When you see a problem facing the world (or even just your local community), you might be invigorated to act. But how do you go about solving the problem? In today's episode of the Be Better podcast, Donald is joined by founder and CEO of New Story, Brett Hagler, to discuss how he works to solve the global housing crisis. What made Brett join real estate? Brett didn't plan on joining real estate. However, a post-college trip to Haiti changed his entire perspective. He saw the reality of homelessness and realized there are still over one billion people without adequate housing. He first searched for charities that excited him, but frustrated by many organizations' old-school approaches to problem-solving, he made a list of things he wished were better. And then, he made an organization that solved those issues. Going against the status quo inspires you to be great. It can be anything, from attending graduate school, founding a company, or switching careers. Many people become paralyzed by uncertainty if they don't know how to start something. The solution? Dream big, but start small. When Brett founded New Story, his goal wasn't to house all one billion people; it was to house one family. So start with a small, attainable goal you know you can reach. Looking at a significant problem like inadequate housing can be challenging, but it gets markedly easier when the issue is broken down into attainable milestones. Brett's strategy to identifying problems: Usually, the problems aren't rocket science. If you see something operating a certain way, ask yourself if it needs to be like that. Chances are, it probably doesn't. It's about creating a better experience and being transparent in your goals and results. For any nonprofit organization, donors want (and deserve) to know exactly how their money is spent. New Story has two bank accounts (with one dedicated to home building), and people can donate directly to that specific account. There is a massive opportunity to use technology to make processes more efficient and effective, from software and cryptocurrency to direct hardware used in construction. The next phase of New Story: Brett started New Story with two co-founders without money or connections. They saw a problem, and they set out to fix it. The takeaway? Make something people want. “People” doesn't have to mean everyone; it just needs to speak to the group of people who care about the topic. Since its inception, New Story has helped tens of thousands of people find multi-generation housing. Brett's advice for listeners? Go after your dreams, and don't let others influence what you do. If you see a problem, think about how you might solve it with a fresh perspective because bringing a creative mindset to solve a problem is a win-win for everyone involved.

What got you where you are often isn't what will get you where you ultimately want to go. How things have been done is no indication that they should continue being done that way. Business as usual and status quo will, at best, typically get us the results we're currently getting. To achieve our biggest goals, attract the right opportunities, and maximize our impact, we will likely have to think and act differently. In episode 202, Brett Hagler, CEO of New Story, shares his journey of building a tech-driven nonprofit tackling global homelessness while opening up about his approach to thinking differently to help us stand out, attract top talent, and achieve big goals. You'll also discover the power of perusing what's possible and, sometimes, what even seems impossible. Welcome to episode 202 of Executive Minds.

Some problems are so big, they feel crazy to even try to solve them. Global homelessness, for example. 1.6 billion people today are living without adequate housing*. This represents a massive, underserved market, and a type of problem often overlooked by tech Founders. Fortunately, Brett Hagler and his Co-Founders at New Story Charity are tackling it head-on, with an unlikely combination of 3D printed homes, Bitcoin-based mortgages, and fundraising via NFTs. Pete Flint has had the privilege of serving on New Story's board since they graduated YCombinator in 2015 and have since witnessed their impressive, fearless growth. What looked at first like an intractable problem now seems like fertile ground for radical proptech-meets-Web3 innovation. Real estate is the story of our lives.
Brett Hagler is the CEO and Co-Founder of New Story, an innovative nonprofit founded in 2015 to pioneer solutions to end global homelessness. Brett is a Y Combinator Alumnus, a 2016 Forbes 30 Under 30 entrepreneur, an author, a speaker, and a cancer survivor. Fast Company recognized New Story as one of the world's most innovative companies in 2017, and as a top 10 nonprofit in 2019 . Brett was named as one of the Top 100 Most Intriguing Entrepreneurs by Goldman Sachs in 2018.Today, Brett joins me to share the story of New Story. He shares why he's so passionate about ending homelessness, what he's actually doing about it, and the lessons he's learned from the process. He goes into the company's innovative approach to architecture and financing, discusses what it means to be a servant leader, and shares his faith story. He gives his definition of charity, discusses what having a home can do for a person, and talks about the prices and price variables of New Story houses. He explains why it's not as hard as you'd think to go above and beyond, notes the importance of connecting beyond the money when fundraising, and talks about why some decision controversy is okay. He shares what he has learned from his experience with cancer and emphasizes the power of just taking action.“If you don't have freaking...basic human needs, it doesn't matter how creative you are, how intelligent you are.”- Brett HaglerKey Takeaways this week on the L3 Leadership Podcast:● New Story's innovative approach to housing● What does servant leadership really mean?● Brett's definition of charity and his faith story● The price of New Story homes and how to get involved● Why it's not hard to go above and beyond● Tips for fundraisingMentioned Resources:● The New Story website● Brett Hagler on Twitter● Henne Jewelers● Beratung AdvisorsWelcome to the L3 Leadership Podcast!Thanks for tuning into this week's episode of the L3 Leadership podcast, where we're obsessed with helping you grow to your maximum potential and maximize the impact of your leadership.If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe to the show and leave a review wherever you get your podcasts.Spotify I Stitcher I Apple Podcasts I iHeart Radio I TuneIn I Google Podcasts I Amazon Music

5 Leadership Questions Podcast on Church Leadership with Todd Adkins
In this episode of the 5 Leadership Questions podcast, Todd Adkins and Chandler Vannoy are joined by Brett Hagler. Hagler is the CEO and co-founder of New Story. They discuss being obsessive about learning and taking calculated risks for the Kingdom. BEST QUOTES "For myself and even my exec team and the directors I work closely with, I need to care, first and foremost, about who they are becoming from a character standpoint and a leadership standpoint than what they are achieving.""When you are at work, there needs to be a real desire to want to be stretched and to be obsessive about learning and growing.""If you are growing at a certain pace and taking on new challenges, you have to make sure the people under you are excited about that and want to do that and are willing to put in the effort to do so." "Learning these challenges actually creates our biggest opportunities for the innovations or what we want to bring to solve the challenges.""I got on my knees and said God, I have no clue why this is happening, but I am going to trust that You have something coming next that could be better and could be bigger, and I then thought of New Story about four months after that.""The more calculated risks we can take, if it's something we have a conviction on and feel pulled to by the Spirit, go for it!""I would try to pair an obsession with learning with a bias toward action.""I figured out I could put intentional time in to learn from other entrepreneurs or pastors that inspired me, I could consistently learn and take action as well.""If you just have action and you are not obsessed with learning, it is hard to mature and grow and get better."

Where his life used to be based on the 3 G’s (Girls, Gold, and Glory) a trip to Haiti taught him that the world was about a lot more. However, helping one person at a time was not going to be enough for this socially minded entrepreneur. In this episode we learn all about how social impact at scale can only be achieved through innovation. Brett and New Story are leading the way here by using using 3D printing technology to bring homes to those in need in a number of developing nations.

Imagine living without a safe home, having your family exposed to life-threatening dangers, no clean water, living in your own filth. This is real life for over 828 million families living in slums without adequate housing, in need of a better solution. With this understanding Brett Hagler of New Story Charity knew he needed to help find a solution. His solution came in the form of a nonprofit — New Story Charity. Not only would it provide incredible housing to those who need it the most, but it would also provide them with clean water, sanitation, and protection. And the best part; the ability for New Story Charity to do this at scale for countless families. We talk with Brett, our first nonprofit guest, about making a difference, turning the nonprofit sector inside out, his time at Y Combinator, operating with transparency, hiring the best, and the very important partnerships that make creating new, sustainable housing at low costs a reality.

Brett Hagler is not your typical Silicon Valley CEO. While he is a CEO based in San Francisco, Brett is focused on growing a different type of business—his nonprofit, New Story. New Story uses crowdfunding to raise money to build homes for those who've lost theirs due to a natural disaster, first in Haiti and now El Salvador in Central America and Bolivia in South America. Under Brett's leadership, New Story is changing how traditional nonprofits do business. From their programs to their internal culture and core values, Brett approaches his organization with the same mentality of his startup, for-profit peers: with a laser focus on transparency, efficiency, and bottom line revenue. The only difference is that the revenue he generates goes to programs and impacting the families they serve. Despite his young age, Brett's experience in moving from the for-profit to the nonprofit world, growing a team, and raising capital make him a powerful mentor for other up-and-coming social entrepreneurs. In this episode, Brett shares advice for attracting a high-profile board of advisors—and why this is critical for your success, how he and his team nailed their 10-minute pitch to Y Combinator and beat out 300 other companies, why Scott Harrison of charity: water is among his top three most influential mentors, and how he remains a lifelong learner through podcasts and books.

Brett Hagler was on a trip to Haiti after the 2010 earthquake where he saw too many of those displaced by the natural disaster still living in tattered blue-tarp shelters. What struck Hagler was the need for more permanent housing that could not only offer much needed safety for families, but help foster the community that was split apart following the earthquake. The non-profit startup NewStory is Hagler's answer to that need. NewStory co-founder Alexandria Lafci joins Hagler on this segment of the a16z Podcast to discuss the startup's social-media powered approach to giving -- and why even as a non-profit startup they think and act like any other for-profit tech startup looking to make a mark.
