Alex Sheen: Sacrificing to follow through on a promise

We all know the importance of keeping promises, but do we always find it that easy sticking to them? International humanitarian, speaker and author, Alex Sheen is the founder of ‘Because I Said I Would’, a social movement and non-profit organisation that has taken the world by storm with its compassionate and unique mission, to inspire people to keep their promises. Alex set up the organisation after losing his father in 2012, when he chose to dedicate himself to ‘the betterment of humanity’. Alex and ‘Because I Said I Would’ has sent out over 12.8 million promise cards (and counting) to people all over the globe and it has seen Alex follow through on countless promises including walking 240 miles across the state of Ohio and agreeing to donate 100% of his speaking fees to charity, which averages at a whopping $1 million a year! Alex is here to tell us how he cleverly combines research and philosophy to go about helping make it easier for people to keep their promises.
