After spending 10 years as a successful nightclub promoter in New York, Scott Harrison made a huge pivot to volunteer as a photojournalist on a hospital ship off the coast of Liberia, West Africa.  That experience changed his life. 

Founder of Charity: Water, Scott Harrison returns to Typology to reflect on stories from his childhood and how they’ve shaped who he is today. We explore his journey of transformation, what he’s learned since leaving New York, and get a peek into what’s next for him. 

Scott has been recognized in Fortune Magazine’s list of 40 Under 40, the Forbes’ Impact 30 list, and Fast Company’s 100 Most Creative People in Business where he earned the #10 spot. He is currently a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader and author of the New York Times Bestselling book, Thirst.

Scott recently moved to Franklin, TN with his wife Viktoria, son Jackson and daughter Emma.
