From Nightclub Promoter to Philanthropic Visionary: Scott Harrison, CEO of charity: water

from One of One

In this episode of One of One, Darren speaks with  Scott Harrison, founder and CEO of charity: water.Raised in a deeply religious household, Scott left home at 18 to spend a decade as a successful nightclub promoter in Manhattan, only to wake up one day and realize his life was empty. That reckoning launched him on a journey from the excesses of Manhattan nightlife, to spending two years in the poorest country in the world, to eventually founding charity: water. Scott not only set out to solve one of the largest global health problems - the lack of clean drinking water - but to reimagine the model of philanthropy itself.They discuss the moment that sparked Scott’s transformation, his bold vision for providing clean drinking water to everyone on the planet by the end of his life, and his extraordinary ability to sustain energy and conviction over two decades.Find out more about the Trium Group at triumgroup.comOne of One is produced by Darren Gold, Emily Shaw, Talia Deer, and Karen Welsh.
