Sean Carasso

Sean Carasso, the barely-30 social entrepreneur, freedom fighter, industry innovator, and humanitarian, has spent the last four years running toward a goal most call impossible. Sean spent his mid-20s traveling the world with businessman, entrepreneur, and philanthropist, John Paul Dejoria, and with every step wanted to see more. In 2008 Sean went to South Africa on a shoe drop and then headed north into the Democratic Republic of Congo. There he was told of children sent to the frontlines of war, armed with only a whistle.

That night he wrote a small journal entry, Falling Whistles. The journal was forwarded around the world, and he woke up to thousands of emails asking: What can we do? The Falling Whistles campaign was born with a simple response -- make their weapon your voice and be a whistleblower for peace.

Out of a warehouse in Downtown Los Angeles, Falling Whistles invests in eight Congolese whistleblowers rebuilding their country, and is building a global coalition for peace in our world's deadliest war. Today, that coalition is over 50,000 strong.

Sean has been featured in Forbes, has been an honorary guest of Summit Series for the past four years, and has been selected by the White House as a Next Generation Leader. Sean has been the headline speaker at numerous high-profile events, companies, and schools. He was a highlighted innovator in fashion brand, Edun's, "Pioneers" Campaign, and featured judge of the 2012 Fresh Fish Competition in Stockholm. He also coauthored Baptism of Liberty, a strategic brief endorsed by eight advocacy organizations, 35 Congressmen, and 16 senators, which led to a global call to action by 77 international organizations and 24,000 citizens.

An avid adventurer and entrepreneur, Sean Carasso believes in the power of the individual and asks us all to work toward a more free world.
