Charity Water: Scott Harrison, Founder & CEO


Listen Later

Fabian talks with Scott Harrison, the founder of charity: water, one of the most trusted and admired non-profits in the world.

 

Solving the water crisis one donation and one well at a time, Scott and his team created a brand that breaks the stereotypes of what a charity is and how a charity acts. He re-branded 'charity' while creating a beloved brand of his own.

 

Charity: water is a champion in brand messaging, design, and storytelling while leading with technology and innovation. A paramount episode not to be missed. 

 

President Obama praised Scott Harrison, and so have Arianna Huffington and Michael Bloomberg. Without a doubt, I knew he would be a charismatic and smart guest. But having Scott share his inspirational story and dive into the details of how he built the brand, and how branding was actually a crucial component of charity: water's success, went beyond my highest expectations.

 

Scott is the founder and CEO of charity: water, a non-profit bringing clean and safe drinking water to people in need around the world. He is also the New York Times best-selling author of Thirst, a story of redemption, compassion, and the mission to bring clean water to the world. In the 13 years since he founded his organization, charity: water has mobilized over 1 million donors around the world to fund more than 38,000 water projects in 28 countries and bring clean water to 10 million people.

 

He was ranked number 10 in Fast Company's 100 Most Creative People in business. And in this episode you will witness why.

 

To get inspired, not only for the ways in which you build your brand, but for the way you live your life, give this episode a listen.
