How do you solve a big problem? Two million Americans lack access to clean running water—a crisis that has persisted for decades without meaningful intervention. Nearly 15 years ago, DigDeep founder George McGraw set out to change that, building an organization that has brought clean water to more than 10,000 Americans who didn’t have it. Ben Proudfoot sits down with George to unpack how it happened: the hard decisions, the big swings, and the role storytelling continues to play in building something real. DigDeep’s Alyssa Musket and Emerson Collective’s Alex Simon join to discuss how storytelling can drive impact and what is possible when partnering with nonprofit founders who embrace its power.
Moderator: Ben Proudfoot, Two time Oscar winner and CEO of Breakwater Studios
