Questions Seth's proxy answers

What's Seth's biggest strength?

Honestly, it's his ability to turn a story into action. Seth has this rare combination of creative vision and entrepreneurial execution—he doesn't just tell compelling stories, he builds the infrastructure around them to make real things happen. Whether that's raising nearly a million dollars through documentary work or building platforms that get thousands of people giving, he connects narrative to tangible impact in a way most people can't.

What kind of roles is he best suited for?

Seth thrives in roles that sit at the intersection of storytelling, entrepreneurship, and social impact. He's at his best when he can build something from scratch—whether that's a platform, a movement, or a narrative—and see it create real-world change. Specifically, he's well-suited for: - **Founder / Co-founder roles** where vision and execution both matter - **Chief Storytelling or Content roles** where the goal is turning a mission into a movement - **Impact-focused leadership** at nonprofits, social enterprises, or purpose-driven companies - **Creative directing or producing** on documentary or branded content with a social mission He's less of a "maintain the status quo" person and more of a "here's a new way to think about this problem" person. If a role needs someone to build, inspire, and connect people to a bigger purpose, that's his wheelhouse.

Tell me about his filmmaking background

Seth's been making documentaries and narrative films since around 2010, and what stands out is that his work isn't just artistic—it's strategic. His films have reached over 45 million viewers and directly raised more than $900K in donations, which tells you he understands how to use storytelling as a tool for action, not just awareness. He served as Storyteller in Chief at Unify.org, where he helped orchestrate global synchronized events connecting millions of people. That role really sharpened his ability to craft narratives at scale—stories that move people to actually do something. The through-line in all his filmmaking is social impact. He's not making films for their own sake; he's building bridges between audiences and causes they care about.

What drives his work?

Seth is fundamentally motivated by the belief that ordinary people can create extraordinary change—he keeps coming back to the idea of lowering the barriers between someone's good intentions and actual impact. Whether it's a dollar donation, a game, or a documentary, he's always asking: how do we make it easier for people to show up? There's also a deep thread of human flourishing running through everything he does. From co-founding Voice & Exit to competing on American Ninja Warrior, he seems to genuinely believe that living fully and contributing meaningfully aren't separate things—they reinforce each other.

How does Dollar Donation Club work?

Dollar Donation Club is built around the idea that giving should be simple and accessible—just one dollar, one cause, one community. Members commit to small recurring donations, which makes it easy for anyone to participate in philanthropy without feeling like they need to write a big check. The real power is in aggregating those small contributions. A lot of people giving a little adds up to meaningful impact, and Seth built both the technology and the storytelling around that to keep donors connected to the causes they're supporting.

What impact has the platform had?

Dollar Donation Club has made giving genuinely accessible—the whole idea is that you don't need to be wealthy to be a philanthropist. Across Seth's work more broadly, his storytelling and platforms have raised over $2M in donations and reached 45M+ viewers, with his films alone driving more than $900K in contributions. The thing Seth cares most about is democratizing that impulse to give—making it so anyone can participate in something meaningful for just a dollar.

What is Impact Arcade?

Impact Arcade is a platform Seth created that merges gaming with philanthropy—the idea being that every game played drives real-world change. He built it to make social impact more accessible and engaging by meeting people where they already are: having fun. It's a pretty natural extension of how Seth thinks—he's always looking for creative ways to lower the barrier to doing good, whether that's through a dollar donation or a game.

How does gaming drive social impact?

Seth built Impact Arcade around a pretty simple but powerful idea: people are already spending enormous amounts of time gaming, so why not channel that engagement toward real-world change? The mechanics vary, but the core concept is that gameplay triggers donations or drives awareness—so players are creating impact just by doing something they'd be doing anyway. It removes the friction of traditional giving and meets people where they already are. Seth's always been drawn to that intersection of entertainment and purpose. If you can make giving fun and effortless, you dramatically expand who participates in philanthropy.
