The Jim Fortin Podcast Ep 249: ENCORE Episode: charity water: An Extraordinary Story Of Service And Humanity
This is an unusual podcast episode and one I feel will be both educational and inspirational to many.
A few months back my Fall Transformational Coaching Program participated in a campaign to raise funds for a global charity called charity: water. charity: water brings water infrastructure to remote villages in the world where there is no water.
I was blown away by the extraordinary generosity of my group. In just one week we raised $124,000 for charity: water and we changed the lives of many people, especially women, for a generation.
In this episode I interviewed Scott Harrison, he’s the founder of charity: water.
Scott has an interesting story. As you’ll hear, he went from a nightclub promoter to someone who created a charity that’s doing extraordinary things in the world!
Initially, I wanted to interview him to hear his personal story so others could be inspired and learn from it and it turned into a segment about charity: water, which candidly, we should all hear.
It’s mind-blowing the number of women in the world who spend an entire day just gathering and carrying water for their family. You’ll hear some extraordinary stories in this interview.
In the end, Scott did share how he learned to live his life and that is exactly what I wanted to come across to you. Living your life for things greater than yourself. Living your life in service.
Living your life for others is the surest way to create an extraordinary life for yourself.
Enjoy!
