Podcast appearances and mentions of Scott Harrison

Some announcements carry more weight than others, and this one comes straight from the heart. Peace Love Moto is now officially sponsoring two remarkable Northern Colorado nonprofits that embody the spirit of joy, healing, and community connection.The Carousel of Happiness in Nederland stands as a testament to resilience and wonder. My friend Scott Harrison, a Vietnam veteran who found solace in a tiny music box during combat, dedicated 26 years to hand-carving 56 magnificent animals. These creatures now bring joy to visitors from around the world as they ride the restored 1910 carousel to the melodies of a century-old Wurlitzer band organ. It's a place where joy isn't just an emotion – it's a tangible presence, carefully crafted and freely shared.Just minutes from my home, Hearts and Horses offers another kind of healing magic. This therapeutic riding center serves children with disabilities, veterans battling PTSD, and individuals with dementia through equine-assisted therapy. With approximately 30 horses and a dedicated team of professionals and volunteers, they create safe spaces where physical and emotional healing blossoms through the unique bond between humans and horses.These initiatives have awakened something profound in me – a calling to create more meaningful connections with you, my listeners. While I may record this podcast from my son's former bedroom in Loveland, the feedback I receive suggests many of you crave authentic experiences: riding Colorado's back roads, witnessing nature's magnificence, and meeting extraordinary people making a difference in our world. I'm actively exploring ways we might connect beyond these audio episodes – perhaps through shared motorcycle journeys where together we can seek that elusive peace of mind we all desire. The path forward isn't entirely clear yet, but the destination feels right – finding joy, purpose, and connection in an increasingly disconnected world. Stay tuned as this vision takes shape.Support the show

I think at the end of the day we'd all give up anything, happiness, acclaim, status, just about anything, just to have purpose. Something we cared to wake up to and pursue that had any meaning to us. And I'm going to take that beyond family, which I'll speak to in a moment. But I find we often handicap our thoughts towards purpose and calling by feeling it must be huge. It must be super altruistic. It must be saving the world. In the last episode I talked with Scott Harrison, celebrity humanitarian who has taken 1 out of 6 people in the world having access to clean water down to only 1 out of 10. Amazing. Truly. Yet the greatest benefit of purpose is not what your purpose does for other people, but what your purpose does for you. I didn't have Scott on the show to talk about the people he saved. I had him on the show to talk about how he saved himself. This is about you. Anyone you help is just collateral benefit.

I bring you a great story of…drive. And the fruition I find most people experience, where we start off in life driven by our base desires and find the shallowness and meaninglessness of it and wonder if this is all life has to offer. I've known of Scott Harrison for many years, but never got the chance to dig into his story and drive myself. Scott is founder of charity:Water and has literally put a dent in the global clean water crisis. He's been so successful, not only do celebrities want to hang with him, but he's become a celebrity himself. Scott's story began by abandoning his faith-based upbringing to spend almost 10 years as a nightclub promoter in New York City. He had great success in driving other people to drink themselves into oblivion and made the nightclubs a lot of money. He was literally paid to party and he imbibed to the fullest degree with drugs, alcohol, sex and everything that goes along with it. As his soul began to dry up, he took a sabbatical to volunteer on a hospital ship as a photojournalist. While in Africa he witnessed people drinking out of a cesspool of water he wouldn't have used to clean his glasses. He returned to New York City two years later and put his promotional skills to work to found the non-profit organization charity: water in 2006. Scott has not only made a global impact for clean water but today he's changing how we view and do charity at large. Following is my conversation with Scott to understand what has driven him. You'll hear his story and his infectious drive for his chosen devotion, clean water. You may not want to devote yourself to clean water, but this show will increase your drive to devote yourself to what you feel called to. You can get Scott's full story in his book, Thirst: A Story of Redemption, Compassion, and a Mission to Bring Clean Water to the World. Got a comment or question about an episode?

An old man stands at the cemetery by Scott HarrisonAn old man stands in the cemetery with his handful of forget-me-nots.An only son, he is here in this field with all his brothers.He keeps company with his old friend who is always much younger than him.He feels tired, weary, but stands up straight and smiles for his pal. There is a busy street of stores to the north.A few kids play on the basketball court in the twilight to the east.Mothers push baby carriages just south of the hundreds of white stones.And west is where the red sun slowly drops as everyone knew it would. The old man hears nothing as if a large glass dome has descended on this place.Soon he is aware of the sound of his own heart as it beats out its eternal rhythm.He knows this is the only conversation they can have.It is a good one, rich with the subtleties of their long relationship. As he bends down to place his flowers next to his friend's stone,A bird sings them both a sweet little song, and looks down from her branch.It takes him a minute to lift himself back up, and in that slowed-down time,His friend, in just a few heart beats, says good-bye and be well.Some folks are looking for bargains at the bed stores on this Memorial Day.Others are celebrating on this first day of a long-earned summer.One old man is standing alone among his brothers, not forgetting.To the east, a kid on the court has stopped playing and watches the still man.

At the age of 28, Scott Harrison walked away from his career as a top nightclub promoter in New York to volunteer on a hospital ship in West Africa and discover his true calling. In this episode, he tells Brian how, with no money or experience, he founded charity: water, an organization that has raised over $740 million to bring clean drinking water to more than 18.4 million people around the world. YOU WILL LEARN:· How his childhood shaped him. · How he came to a radical decision to reset his life. · How he built one of the most trusted nonprofits in the world. MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: charity: water “Thirst,” by Scott Harrison NOTEWORTHY QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE: “703 million humans are poisoning themselves today because of the situations they were born into. And it's a solvable problem.” – Scott Harrison “We literally know how to help 100% of the people on earth get water, but we haven't chosen to do it. We haven't built the will, the determination. We haven't built the movement. We haven't raised the resources to do it. But that's what keeps me so excited.” – Scott Harrison “I feel so fortunate, at 28, to have realized there would never be enough. There would never be enough - someone would always have more.” – Scott Harrison “I just encourage people to ask a different question: how can I use my time and my talent and my money in the service of others?” – Scott Harrison“It almost is intoxicating when you're moving from a life of accumulation, of collecting the markers of success, to then saying, ‘Well, what if my life could benefit others?'” – Scott Harrisonitsagoodlife.com Hosted on Acast.

The thrills of pleasure-seeking don't last long before we need even more. And when the excitement isn't enough, what is? Scott Harrison's life as an elite nightclub promoter was an unending cycle of drinking, drugs, models, and fast cars. After ten years, his vices caught up with him, and a health scare forced him to reflect on his life. Scott felt decadent, wasteful, and morally bankrupt. He decided to completely reverse course. Scott spent the next 2 years in West Africa on board a nonprofit hospital ship, where he saw a level of human suffering that led him to his true calling. Today, solving the global water crisis is Scott's life's work, and he's built one of the most trusted nonprofits in the world to do just that.

After a decade of indulging his darkest vices as a nightclub promoter, Scott declared spiritual, moral, and emotional bankruptcy. He spent two years on a hospital ship off the coast of Liberia, saw the effects of dirty water firsthand, and came back to New York City on a mission. Upon returning to NYC in 2006, having seen the effects of dirty water firsthand, Scott turned his full attention to the global water crisis and the (then) 1.1 billion people living without access to clean water. He established a small core team in a tiny Manhattan apartment and created charity: water. Sixteen years later, with the help of more than 1 million supporters worldwide, charity: water has raised over $740 million and funded over 137,000 water projects in 29 countries. When completed, those projects will provide over 17.4 million people with clean, safe drinking water. Support Theology in the Raw through Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theologyintheraw

Sign-up for my free 20-day devotional, The Word Before Work Foundations, at http://TWBWFoundations.com--Series: Beyond the Great CommissionDevotional: 3 of 5As you go, proclaim this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.' Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.…And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones who is my disciple, truly I tell you, that person will certainly not lose their reward. (Matthew 10:7-8, 42)When Jesus called his disciples to “proclaim” that his kingdom had come, he instructed them to “heal,” “cleanse,” and “give.” Not just evangelize and “save souls.”Because of that, I'm confident that Scott Harrison and his team at charity: water are doing “kingdom work” by giving clean water to millions of the world's poorest image-bearers. But some Christians disagree. For example, a wealthy Christian we'll call Bill once told Scott: “We're not going to give to charity: water because you're not a Christian organization. If those people don't know Jesus, they're going to burn in hell anyway. You need to be giving the gospel along with clean water.”Bill's response may sound harsh, but it's actually quite rational if the Great Commission is the singular mission of the Christian life as so many church leaders are suggesting today. This pervasive message leads people like Bill to believe that the only work that's truly “kingdom work” is the work of “winning souls” and gaining new citizens of God's kingdom.But Scripture makes clear that God's kingdom contains more than just the Sovereign and his subjects. The kingdom is also marked by: beauty (see Isaiah 35; Revelation 21:9–21)justice (see Isaiah 30:18; 61:8)order (see 1 Corinthians 14:33)abundance (see Isaiah 25:6–9; 49:10; 65:22; Joel 3:18)cultural excellence (see Isaiah 60; Revelation 21:26)a sense of belonging (see Psalm 68:6) a sustainable earth (see Isaiah 51:3; Revelation 11:15–18)That's a partial list of what God longs for us to experience with him for eternity. But when we treat the Great Commission as the only commission, we make it easy to ignore these “non-soul” aspects of the kingdom. The implication is that building an abundance of clean water doesn't matter. Cultivating beauty as an artist or hairdresser doesn't matter. Creating order or a sense of belonging on your team doesn't matter. Unless, of course, those things are currently in vogue and can be leveraged to the instrumental end of “sharing the gospel.”This misguided thinking leads to the fair accusation that Christians are “so heavenly minded that they are no earthly good.” But as New Testament scholar N.T. Wright aptly points out, “It is when the church . . . acts with decisive power in the real world—to build and run a successful school, or medical clinic, or a credit union for those ashamed to go into a bank. . . that people will take the message of Jesus seriously.”Amen. To that end, cultivate the kingdom values listed above in your work today. And watch how God uses your “kingdom work” to make others long to meet our King!

In this episode, I interview Scott Harrison, CEO of the non-profit organization charity: water. We discuss the global water crisis and how charity: water is working to provide clean water access to communities around the world.   Scott shares his story of how he went from being a nightclub promoter in New York City to volunteering with doctors and humanitarian workers in Liberia, West Africa.   He describes seeing thousands of sick people unable to get medical help, which inspired him to start charity: water to address the lack of clean water fueling disease. Scott explains how 771 million people worldwide lack access to clean water, with women and girls often bearing the burden of finding and carrying water for their families.    So, how does Scott make a difference?   He discusses the different technologies and solutions charity: water uses to fund water projects based on each community's needs, from drilled wells to piped water systems.   Lack of clean water prevents children, especially girls, from attending school regularly. Providing water access allows more girls to get an education. Women and girls spend countless hours walking for water each day. Bringing water closer to home gives them more time for work, family, and community.    Scott stresses that we have the ability to solve the water crisis but need the resources and will to make it happen.   He shares powerful stories that reveal the dramatic impact clean water access makes on people's health, dignity, and quality of life.   Transformational Takeaway:   While the global water crisis can seem overwhelming, this episode underscores that every one of us has the power to make a real difference through small, consistent acts of service. When we shift from self-focus to serving others, we tap into our innate compassion and humanity. What simple act of service, however small, could you engage in today to be part of the solution to the world's immense needs?     VISIT THE SHOW NOTES HERE FOR MORE: https://www.jimfortin.com/297   LIKED THE EPISODE?

This week, we look at a boxer, with a familiar nickname, who came from a long line of boxers. His hard nosed style brought him all the way to championships, but seemingly overnight, everything changed. His drinking got out of control, and he seemed to punch everyone he met. This includes everyone from cops, to grocery store employees, to several people at a brothel, and many, many more. This makes him an international criminal, and ends any hopes of having a legendary career!Come from a long line of fighters, punch a man because he doesn't want you to steal his car, and never let the cops into your car, after you've crashed it, while holding a bottle of booze with Scott Harrison!!Check us out, every Tuesday!We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!!

On today's episode of the podcast, I'm sharing a conversation I had back in 2018 with Scott Harrison. We discuss the profound impact of perspective and empathy, the unique connection people feel when they give to individuals rather than just causes, and the joy that comes from generosity. We dive into the importance of storytelling in promoting causes, and the personal growth both of us have experienced from our past mistakes. This episode is perfect for anyone looking to find deeper meaning in their actions, understand the power of narratives, or simply be inspired by the transformative journey of giving.

The boldest of entrepreneurs take on the impossible. Recorded live at the Masters of Scale Summit, four scale leaders in Bjarke Ingels, Aurora James, Kathryn Finney, and Scott Harrison offer their strategies and ideas around taking on society's most complex and tough challenges.

To take on the impossible, and build a better future, each of these leaders offers that the road to scale begins with a daring mindset and a willingness to embrace problems — no matter their size or complexity.Read a transcript of this episode: https://mastersofscale.com/Subscribe to the Masters of Scale weekly newsletter: https://mastersofscale.com/subscribeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
