Class Description
There's a common misconception that artists have a monopoly on creativity… But the very act of making waves - no matter the career - is a creative one. The Chase Jarvis LIVE Show is an exploration of creativity, self-discovery, entrepreneurship, hard-earned lessons, and so much more. Chase sits down with the world's top creators, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders and unpacks actionable, valuable insights to help you live your dreams in career, hobby, and life.
ABOUT THIS EPISODE:
I want to highlight not just what charity: water has done, but how they’ve done it – because they’ve brought so much innovation to the space, and I’m hopeful that by unpacking the tactics that Scott used with charity: water, we can give others who are working on their own social entrepreneurship ventures some ideas that will help them make the same kind of impact that charity: water has.
For those who want to support charity: water, you can join The Spring here, or pledge your birthday here.
- Scott has an AMAZING life story, like something out of a movie: he went from being one of NY’s top club promoters to realizing that life was empty and unfulfilling, turning his back on all of it to volunteer for a charity org and ultimately found cw
- He unpacks several of cw’s signature campaigns like their “donate your birthday” initiative and how they tie each one of their projects to GPS data so donors can see exactly where and how their contribution has been used
- Scott talks about the moment he realized that his identity as a human was inexorably tied to the performance of his company. It’s a super common issue for entrepreneurs, and he dealt with it head on – the only way to deal with it.
ABOUT SCOTT :
Scott is the founder of charity: water, a non-profit organization bringing clean, safe drinking water to people in developing countries – you may have heard me mention them before, and that’s because I’m deeply passionate about their cause and a huge admirer of what Scott’s done as the founder of the org. In less than a decade, their community has raised over $250 million to fund 22,000+ projects that have brought clean water to more than 7 million people around the world.

Absolutely recommend this chat with Scott Harrison, founder of Charity:Water. Engaging and open discussion of this life as a child, to life in the fast lane, to a life dedicated to helping others. Re-listening for the 4th time in the past year.
