Show Notes
8:45 "The things I love to do as Cheif Strategist officer include making the world a smaller place."
9:23 "I want to educate people on the second global water crisis. 60% of water systems fail in the world. Well Aware has a 100% success rate"
11:27 "You can't just decide to build 100 wells 100 meters deep, that's just not going to work. So what we do is pull hydro surveys on the land. We interview the community on what's worked. We look at rainwater. We tailor a solution that's best going to serve the community and something they can maintain over time."
13:00 "We define success by results over time. Not just the picture of hitting water but maintaining relationship over time, metrics like disease and education rates, maintain communication with the community..."
13:22 "We're absolutely growing. Currently we have 19 projects in que."
