The Life of a Promise
Alex Sheen
Founder of “Because I Said I Would.”
Alex Sheen is the founder of because I said I would, a social movement and nonprofit dedicated to bettering humanity through promises made and kept. Sparked by the loss of his father, Alex and his organization send “promise cards” to anyone anywhere in the world at no cost. Alex is someone who truly honors commitment. He once walked over 240 miles across the entire state of Ohio in 10 days to fulfill a promise. In just two years, because I said I would has sent over 12.3 million promise cards to over 153 different countries. The promises written on these cards have made headlines around the world. Alex is a five-time Tedx Talk speaker and his charitable work has been featured on ABC World News, CNN, The Today Show, NPR, The Los Angeles Times and many other programs.
Listen in as Alex Sheen—the exclusive Remote Connect keynote speaker and founder of "Because I Said I Would," shares the background on his story and motivation to encourage social change.
