Dillon founded Made in a Free World (now FRDM), a non-profit organization dedicated to ending forced labor, human trafficking and modern-day slavery through increased public awareness, action and advocacy.
He authored “A Selfish Plan to Change the World,” which reveals the secret to a life of deep and lasting significance: the discovery that our need for meaning is inextricably linked to the needs of the world. “A Selfish Plan to Change the World” delivers a revolutionary method for meeting both needs.
Dillon made his directorial debut in the film “Call + Response,” which revealed the world’s 27 million dirtiest secrets: There are more slaves today than ever before in human history. The “rockumentary” was theatrically released around the world and became one of the top documentaries of 2008.
He founded the nonprofit organization Slavery Footprint. Partnering with the U.S. State Department and Google, this multiple-award-winning website asks the question, “How many slaves work for you?” The site and mobile app allow consumers to visualize how their consumption habits are connected to modern-day slavery.
Dillon founded the tech company FRDM with a mission of changing the world through the power of our purchases. FRDM is a business platform used by Fortune 500 companies to measure risk of forced labor in supply chains.
