Shownotes Transcript

You need a great story to build a great company. And great stories are unwaveringly true. No one embodies this principle more fully than Scott Harrison, founder of Charity: Water. A master storyteller, Scott built his nonprofit on 3 radical principles: (1) 100% of donations would go to water projects (not overhead).

(3) The brand’s storytelling would lead with hope instead of guilt, inspiring joyful participation without sacrificing honesty.
