Hey, I'm Marie Forleo, and this is the Marie Forleo podcast. If you want to talk about your business, your life, your health, your relationships, and even more, I gotta tell you, you are in the the right place we do it all with humor and

heart so let's dive in.

You know we all have those moments in life where we realize that something is just not working and we need to go in a new

direction and my guest today is a shining example of what happens when you listen to

that call and you embrace the unknown and decide to use your gifts in the service of others.

Scott Harrison spent almost 10 years as a nightclub promoter in New York City

before leaving to volunteer on a hospital ship off the coast of Liberia, West Africa as a volunteer

photojournalist. Returning home to New York City two years later, he founded the nonprofit

organization Charity Water in 2006.

Turning his full attention to the global water crisis and the world's 800 million people

without clean water to drink, he created public installations and innovative online fundraising platforms to spread international awareness of the issue.

In seven years, with the help of more than 400,000 donors worldwide,

Charity Water has raised over 125 million and funded over 11,000

water projects in 22 countries. When completed, those projects will provide over 4 million people

with clean, safe drinking water.

Scott was recently recognized in Fortune magazine's 40 under 40 list,

the Forbes magazine Impact 30 list, and was recently number 10 in Fast Companies 100 Most Creative People in Business

Issue. He's currently a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader. Scott lives in New York

City with his wife Victoria and son Jackson.
