How I Raised $700 Million: Charity: Water Founder

I'm emotionally bankrupt, I'm morally bankrupt, and this is not how I'd want it to end. The founder and CEO of Charity Water. Making a difference all over the world. A New York Times bestseller is a certifiable badass and his name is Scott Harrison. The lifestyle of a promoter is one where you get lots of attention. The fun I had for 10 years in nightlife was a lot of cocaine MDMA, 40 to 60 cigarettes a day fun. I realized. What if I did die? What would I have to show for life? So that started a process.

Ten percent of the world is drinking dirty water. And I realize so many of my friends didn't trust charities. Where does the money really go? So I had a very simple idea. promised the public that a hundred percent of anything they would ever give to charity water. Would go directly to help people get clean water. You know, nobody thought this business model was a good idea. And I was hitting a point where I realized maybe they're right.

We about to go out and build a hundred wells. And we're about to miss payroll. There's no miracle that can save us. So without further ado. I'm Steven Butlett.
