A daydream about a carousel helped a Marine get through the Vietnam War. He then made that carousel a reality for others.

Nederland, Colorado — During the height of the Vietnam War, being stationed at U.S. Marine outpost Con Thien was like a death sentence. "It just seemed like a matter of time for everybody," retired Marine Cpl. Scott Harrison told CBS News. Harrison, then just 19 years old, says he got through those dark days, thanks in no small part, to a music box his sister had sent to him. During breaks in the fighting, he used to hold it tight to his ear. "And I would close my eyes, and I would think of a carousel in a mountain meadow," Harrison said. "…An image totally opposite of where people are trying to kill each other." Harrison says that delicate tinkling of a simpler time lowered his adrenaline and tempered the brutality. Eventually, he was wounded, evacuated, and reintegrated into civilian life. Harrison left Vietnam in 1968, but the war never left him. He battled post-traumatic stress disorder with alcohol, and at one point, tried living alone on a boat on the ocean, but nothing worked. And that is when he circled back to that carousel vision, that one he conjured so long ago. "I thought that if I could actually start making that vision come true, it would keep me on an even keel and make me happier," Harrison said. So, Harrison bought a broken-down carousel and brought it to Nederland, Colorado, in 1986. For the next 26 years, he carved brand-new animals for it. The carousel opened to the public in 2010, in a mountain valley in Nederland, just like the one Harrison had envisioned — a carousel like none you've ever seen. Harrison helped establish the Carousel of Happiness, a nonprofit whose mission is simply to spread joy. Over the past 15 years it has delighted more than one million people. It's also profoundly changed Harrison's life. "Absolutely, everyday, just to go to that carousel and see everybody having such a great time, is good medicine for me," Harrison said. "Because I started out trying to treat myself, and then it just changed into something that I could do for others."

Charity Water Is Pioneering The Future Of Fundraising—And Fighting The Women's Crisis You Didn't Know Existed

Dirty water wall Fourteen-year-old Grace walks miles under the scorching sun, her shoulders straining under the weight of a jerrycan almost half as heavy as she is. The water she's collecting is visibly contaminated—murky and teeming with bacteria. It's likely making them sick, but her family has no alternative. This is her reality for hours each day, 365 days a year—time that should be spent in school is consumed by this grueling task, essential for her family's survival. As I remove the VR headset at charity: water's Experience Lab in Franklin, Tennessee, the contrast is jarring. My reality includes clean water at the turn of a faucet. Hers includes a daily choice between getting an education and staying alive. She is one of 703 million people worldwide who still lack access to clean, safe drinking water—a crisis that impacts nearly one in ten people on the planet. The immersive experience leaves me with a question I can't shake: What can I do about this? The charity: water Experience Lab begins with a holographic greeting Every day, women and girls around the world spend a collective 200 million hours gathering water—time stolen from school, work, and community life. "The burden falls to the mothers and the girls," Scott Harrison, founder of charity: water, told me during our interview for The Failure Factor podcast. "Instead of becoming educated, leading their communities forward, they're just senselessly walking for unhelpful water." The statistics are stark: while men might spend just six minutes gathering water, women in the same communities can spend fifty-four minutes, according to UNICEF research. Even more devastating is that after all those hours walking, the water collected is often harmful to their health—even deadly. "In every culture I have ever experienced in the world, it is always the women and the girls.' Harrison explained during our conversation. "It's not unique to Africa or India or Asia or Central and South America. It's just the role of women to go get the water." Traditional fundraising relies heavily on statistics and guilt, but charity: water's Experience Lab represents a radical shift in how charitable organizations connect with donors—blending empathy-driven storytelling with the power of experiential marketing to inspire action. Located in the renovated Factory complex in Franklin, Tennessee, the lab uses immersive technology to powerfully 'teleport' visitors into the lives of those affected by the water crisis. The experience lab features a "water walk" in a room heated to 90 degrees The exhibit is as artistic as it is impactful. A striking wall displays nearly two hundred glasses filled with water in various shades of brown, yellow, green, and murky blue—each representing actual water sources people drink from around the world. Backlit against pristine white, the display is both beautiful and disturbing, with a simple yet powerful message on the adjacent wall: Drinking water shouldn't have color. In another room, heated to 90 degrees and scented to simulate the smell of an African village, visitors pick up two weighted jerrycans and walk on a treadmill surrounded by floor-to-ceiling LED screens—viscerally conveying a reality no statistic could. I've written about empathy for years as a therapist and executive coach, but this experience collapsed the distance between knowing and feeling. Research shows that virtual reality experiences significantly increase empathy and the intention to donate compared to traditional media. Psychologists call this 'narrative transportation'—a state where our mental processes become fully absorbed in a story, creating neural pathways of empathy. The Experience Lab epitomizes this process, allowing us to virtually live Grace's struggle rather than merely hearing about it, which drives action. Scott Harrison, founder and CEO of charity: water Scott Harrison's journey to founding charity: water is itself a compelling narrative of transformation. He went from being a high-end New York City club promoter to a humanitarian committed to solving the global water crisis. His wake-up call came when he realized the emptiness of his seemingly glamorous life. As he shared in our podcast interview: "I was in Punta del Este. And I remember the time, my girlfriend was in the cover of a fashion magazine and I had a BMW and a nice loft in New York... and you just kind of get [what you imagined you wanted]. You're like, is this it? I should be enjoying this a lot more." This realization led him to volunteer as a photojournalist on a hospital ship in West Africa, where he witnessed the devastating effects of the water crisis firsthand. In 2006, he founded charity: water with a mission to bring clean water to everyone on the planet and to reinvent how charities operate. Beyond the innovative Experience Lab, charity: water has reimagined the charity funding model itself. They operate with a "100 percent model" where every dollar of public donations goes directly to funding water projects, with no overhead costs deducted. This approach addresses a core issue Harrison identified: donor mistrust. "According to USA Today, forty-two percent of Americans just said they didn't trust charities," he shared. "I started asking people and they said, 'Well, I don't know where my money goes.'" To solve this, Harrison created two separate funding streams: public donations that go entirely to water projects, and a smaller group called "The Well"—entrepreneurs and visionaries who fund all operational costs including staff salaries, office rent, and even the Experience Lab itself. With this model, charity: water has raised over a billion dollars, funded more than 185,000 projects, and provided safe, clean water to more than twenty million people across twenty-nine countries. When communities gain access to clean water, the transformation for women and girls is immediate and profound. Time previously spent collecting water becomes time invested in their independence, future, and well-being. The VR experience shows this transformation in Grace's community—residents cheering and crying as clean water flows from a newly installed pump. But as the headset comes off, a sobering reality remains: for every community like Grace's that now has clean water, countless others still wait. Women in Sub-Saharan Africa spend 40 billion hours a year collecting water—equivalent to a year's worth of labor for the entire workforce in France. When freed from this responsibility, women can pursue education that increases their earning potential by as much as twenty-five percent for each additional year in school. This ripple effect—improved health, increased education, economic empowerment—makes clean water access one of the most effective ways to address gender inequality in developing nations. Writing a check may ease our guilt temporarily, but what Harrison has created goes beyond transactional charity. The Experience Lab transforms philanthropy from a distant act of giving to an emotional connection—a relationship that lays a foundation for monthly donations. Guests are transported to Grace's Ugandan village through a virtual reality experience As I left the Experience Lab, surrounded by others grabbing tissues and lining up at the 'Give Shop' (a playful take on 'gift shop'), I saw clearly the genius of Harrison's approach. By allowing us to momentarily step into Grace's life, he's made her struggle impossible to ignore. If you're reading this while sipping—or having showered, watered plants, or washed your car in—clean water, you're already part of the solution. The only question left is what you'll do with that privilege. Megan Bruneau, M.A. Psych is a therapist, executive coach, and the founder of Off The Field Executive & Personal Coaching.

A busy father and business owner got shredded at 42. He said 3 simple things helped him stay in shape for a decade.

Scott Harrison's weight crept up as a father with a busy work schedule. At 42, he decided to learn about nutrition and get in shape without counting calories. He's now a personal trainer and runs a fat loss coaching business. Scott Harrison distinctly remembers looking at the other parents at school pick-up in December 2015 and thinking they all looked unhealthy. "What example was that setting for their children?" he thought. "Then I looked at myself, and I realized I was one of them," the dad of three from the UK told Business Insider. It was the turning point that saw Harrison lose weight by focusing on three things: eating nutritious, whole foods; learning about how calorific foods are without counting calories; and not eliminating treats from his diet. Harrison, 51, shared how he got in shape and has maintained his physique for a decade without giving up treats or alcohol, and how he started a business to help others do the same. Harrison started his working life as a trader in London, and he worked hard and played hard for nine years. "I would be taken out by brokers all the time and could choose any restaurant. One of my favorite meals was steak covered in Stilton cheese, and my alcohol consumption was horrifically bad," he said. At the time, Harrison wasn't thinking about his health — he just wanted to have fun. Now, he said, he realizes he was "chipping away at my body in a negative way." After leaving banking, Harrison worked various jobs during his 30s and 40s, including opening a small chain of sunbed and beauty salons, a jewelry shop, and a double-glazing company. Work and parenting kept Harrison busy, and he'd typically skip breakfast and then eat food such as sausage rolls (pastry filled with sausage meat) and sandwiches on the go. In the evenings, he and his wife enjoyed at least one glass of wine and generally shared a bottle on the weekends. "We've got kids; we weren't falling over or feeling drunk," Harrison said. "You don't realize alcohol has a gazillion calories." He also ate big portions of food and would order every starter on the menu when eating out. Harrison knew he'd be healthier and feel more energized if he lost some weight, but his attempts generally consisted of eating a packet of ham for dinner, which never worked. "I didn't know what I was doing," he said, adding that he thought the ham packet, being a relatively small amount of food, was the answer. Registered nutritionists and dietitians have previously told BI that to lose weight sustainably, people should focus on eating a variety of whole foods with a balance of protein, carbs, and fats, plus plenty of fiber, to keep themselves feeling full and nourished. Focusing on high-volume foods, which take up a lot of space on your plate for relatively few calories, can also help. At age 42, Harrison's school gate revelation prompted him to make his 2016 New Year's resolution to get in shape in 90 days. The goal? "Get a six-pack, the ultimate male visual," he said. Harrison didn't have much of a workout regime but started running and whipping battle ropes in the garden. "I could barely run for one kilometer at the beginning," he said. His aim diet-wise was simply to eat as many nutritious, whole foods as possible, including lots of chicken, fish, and vegetables. Harrison learned about the anti-inflammatory Zone Diet and simplified its principles of counting specific amounts of protein, fats, and carbs. He didn't count calories, but he learned about them. For example, he's more sparing with olive oil when cooking than he used to be. To help keep himself accountable, Harrison posted on Facebook about his goal, and 36 of his friends and followers decided to join him. "I got 19 to the finish line," Harrison said. He didn't offer meal plans, recipes, or workout regimes at the time, but he enjoyed motivating others to hit their goals. So he did it again later that year. This ultimately led Harrison to launch his coaching business, The Six-Pack Revolution. (He acknowledges, however, that the name is a turnoff for those who aren't striving for a six-pack, so he's rebranding.) Harrison is now a qualified personal trainer and also has a registered nutritionist, a psychotherapist, and a primary care doctor on his team. Harrison believes that what you eat makes 80% of the difference when losing weight, so he focuses on nutrition and mindset with clients, with less emphasis on workouts. Harrison got his six-pack gradually, and his healthy diet became his lifestyle. "I looked like Wolverine, and I felt like him as well," Harrison said. "I could stop cars with my bare hands. That's how I felt." His diet is less strict now, but he has maintained his physique (he never weighs himself as he prefers not to focus on numbers) by eating mostly nutritious foods without depriving himself of what he enjoys. Harrison is against cutting calories too low because it's unsustainable. Instead, he encourages people to focus on nutritious, filling, whole foods in reasonable quantities. "I teach everyone how to keep their results and still party twice a week, which is for me the best of both worlds," Harrison said. "So if you want a bit of chocolate or a pint or a curry with the girls or whatever else, it's going to bounce off you because your body is now a machine that burns fuel efficiently." Partying could mean going to an actual party, or it could be enjoying a tub of ice cream on the sofa with your kids. Either way, Harrison stressed that for sustainability, it's important to still be able to enjoy your life. "Everything that you've ever been, everything that currently are, and everything that you are to become is reliant on your health," Harrison said. "Because if you don't have that, you don't have anything." Read the original article on Business Insider
