Scott Harrison | The Power of Radical Generosity

Scott Harrison | The Power of Radical Generosity

In this episode Jon Gordon and Scott Harrison talk about Scott's journey out of the darkness of being a night club promoter with drugs and immorality to finding hope, restoration and healing through serving others and eventually founding charity: water, one of the most impactful charities in the world.

Scott Harrison is the founder and CEO of charity: water, a non-profit that has mobilized over one million donors around the world to fund over 29,000 water projects in 26 countries that will serve more than 8.4 million people. Harrison has been recognized on Fortune's 40 under 40 list, Forbes' Impact 30 list, and was ranked #10 in Fast Company's 100 Most Creative People in Business. He is currently a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader and lives in New York City with his wife and two children.

Scott just released his first book Thirst: A Story of Redemption, Compassion, and a Mission to Bring Clean Water to the World, which was instantly a New York Times Bestseller. 100% of Scott's net proceeds from Thirst will go to fund charity: water projects around the world! www.thirstbook.com

A few highlights:

  • What better way to play doctor than to provide clean water for people who don't have it.
  • If you really want to make a difference, Create a Culture of Radical Generosity.
  • Do things the right way even if it's the hard way.
  • There is a difference between mission and vision and succeeding in both areas requires different approaches.
  • 42% of American's don't trust charities.
  • 100% of every penny raised from people for charity: water goes to help people directly.
