When I read that book, I could not put it down. His story, from a wild upbringing to his young life and what led him to building one of the biggest charities on the planet will inspire you. He lives out the motto of this podcast: when good people make good money, they do great things. He founded Charity Water in 2006, and since then has raised more than $350 million, creating clean drinking water for nearly 10 million people. You are going to feel so inspired and so dang good after listening to this episode.   Question Highlights:   What was the transition like from club promoter to working on Mercy Ships?
