Realigning Purpose: How Generosity and Altruism Drive True Success and Fulfillment
In today’s episode, I explore the transformative power of altruism. Fresh from an uplifting conference, I share the remarkable journey of Scott Harrison, the founder of Charity Water.
From a lucrative but self-destructive career as a New York City nightclub promoter, Scott shifted gears to founding a charity that provides clean water to developing countries, helping millions.
We also touch on the story of an entrepreneur who, driven by his daughter's severe health challenges, went back to school at 50 to research and combat diseases. These powerful narratives highlight how adversity often fuels our greatest contributions to the world.
Join me as we explore the profound impact of helping others and how it can lead to fulfillment, personal growth, and lasting success.
Let’s embrace the holiday spirit all year round by making altruism a daily practice. Stay tuned for an episode filled with heartwarming stories and actionable insights!
