About this episode

Super happy to have my great friend Scott Harrison, founder of Charity:Water come on the show for this iconic 300th episode! We sit down and chat about his charity, the issue of unclean or non-existent water facing millions of people on earth, and take calls from viewers that are starting their own charities & more.

It'd mean a lot to me if you checked out Scott's book, Thirst here: https://www.amazon.com/Thirst-Story-Redemption-Compassion-Mission/dp/1524762849
