Description

Do you just expect clean and safe drinking water to come out of the tap? Can you imagine if one day it didn't?. One in nine people lack access to safe water across the world. This became more than just a statistic to this week's guest, Kevin Sofen, after a trip to China and Ghana in 2011. The impact of consuming dirty water cripples a community’s ability to develop out of poverty, cascading into numerous health and economic problems.
Kevin is the founder of a social enterprise called Wristsponsible, a global movement actively implementing water solutions while empowering individuals to work together for a water responsible world. 
Beyond his side hustle, Kevin’s day job uses virtual reality to help first responders, including fire firefighters and paramedics, to simulate and respond to risks.  This conversation is an incredible reminder that it is possible to have social impact through our work, side hustles and day to day interactions.
