A very different episode of The Launchcast, but one of the most necessary if we're going to call ourselves a leadership podcast. The LaunchDad waxes poetic on what's going on in his hometown of Farmingdale, NY. This episode's small-town case study on the effects of politics in parenting and education is a topic that is being discussed in small towns and large cities across the country. The problem is, they crossed a parent with a microphone this time and George isn't standing for it. Tune in to this unconventional soapbox episode. A 10 minute disclaimer and explanation precedes the episode. Hosted by entrepreneur and keynote/TEDx speaker George Andriopoulos. Follow @launchpadceo on Clubhouse, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

There are two sides to this interview: the real story and the work. The real story is that George sits down with professional wrestler and personal trainer Joe Ocasio for an incredible, in-depth interview that delves into his story as a wrester, the art of wrestling and his journey to starting Joe's Results Zone. Now for the work: It's the matchup of the century as George "The LaunchDad" Andriopoulos (formerly known as Muscles Marinara) takes on FFW Heavyweight Champion (and tag team champion) "Life Changing" Joe Ocasio in a 90 minute iron man match and the leadership championship is on the line. It's gonna be a slobber-knocker so make sure to tune in! You don't have to be a wrestling fan to love this episode, but if you're into the WWE, AEW, FFW, NYWC, NXT, W.O.W. or anything else from the squared circle, you'll LOVE this one.

From the military to a firefighter to a fire chief to a coach, this man's unconventional journey to leadership has been anything but a straight road and anything but easy The LaunchDad sits down to chat with David Hollenbach and the two leadership coaches take a deep dive into the concept of leadership, the inspiration behind it and the "self-leadership" that's important on anyone's path.

Back from winter hiatus and ready to roll, The Launchcast gets back to basics with an in-studio interview that does not disappoint! Sometimes we focus so much on legacy that we get complacent about innovating old ideas...and sometimes legacy allows us to disrupt an age-old idea and reinvent an industry. The LaunchDad is joined by Orville Davis, CEO of Scrap-It! Technologies and Junk Removal. Orville started as the product of a junkyard and wound up revolutionizing the junk industry through legacy and innovation.

It's our final episode of 2021 and what better way to say Happy New Year than with a Tiny Soapbox Show from the LaunchDad himself? We're talking New Year's resolutions and looking inward at our own accountability and responsibilities to make those resolutions come true. We're talking about honoring those from our past in order to move forward in the future. We're talking about leaving the excuses behind and just doing the damn thing. Buckle up, buttercup...this one gets real before we slow it down and get reflective going into 2022.  Hosted by entrepreneur and keynote/TEDx speaker George Andriopoulos.

Sure, bonus episode 310 of The Launchcast is just shy of 24 minutes in total, but trust us when we say that this Tiny Soapbox Show sticks to the 20 minutes or less rule when it comes to the meat and potatoes of this episode...or should we say the turkey and stuffing since this is our 2021 Thanksgiving show! Join George as he reflects on being thankful through a difficult time and in true holiday spirit, we hear from the children themselves on the meaning of the word thankful as the LaunchDad is joined by 2 of his kids, the LaunchLad and the LaunchLass (one of them may or may not claim that those words are British and not Scottish). Stay tuned until the end as one of the kiddos does their impression of podcast's intro, including goosebumps, "wooo" and the elbow drop. Plenty to be thankful for in this show.

As a community and thought-leader, George is always searching for other leaders that have experienced a spark moment in their lives that led them on the path to creating change. In Episode 309 of The Launchcast the LaunchDad interviews Janice Lintz, a person that changed hearing access in the US, disrupted the hearing aid market and now, along with her organization Hearing Access & Innovations, is working on global best practices. What you may not know is that this guest was booked on the show because of George's growing passion for hearing access advocacy due to his second daughter's hearing disability. This one gets personal and it's a must listen. Hosted by entrepreneur and keynote/TEDx speaker George Andriopoulos. Follow @launchpadceo on Clubhouse, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Visit Janice Lintz here: https://www.hearingaccess.com Follow Janice on: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/45959109052 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/janicelintz/ More on Janice from the episode: She was a 2016 Aspen Institute Spotlight on Health Scholar, a member of the US Access Board's Rail and Passenger Vessel Committees, and a member of the NYS Interagency Council for the Deaf Deaf-Blind, Hard of Hearing committee where she was appointed twice by former Governor Paterson. In 2015, Mayor Bloomberg appointed her to the NYC Taxi of Tomorrow Committee. Chairman Martin of the FCC appointed her twice to the FCC's Consumer Advisory Committee. She approached Senator Warren about the hearing aid monopoly, who then introduced and passed an Over-The-Counter Hearing Aid bill with Senator Grassley. President Biden just signed an Executive Order to expedite standards to implement the law.  Janice's articles appeared in Forbes, Huff Post, and Thrive Global. In addition, the New York Times, People, Redbook, Fast Company, Consumer Reports, The Washington Post, Scientific American are some of the many publications quoting her.

Sometimes combining leadership and entrepreneurship can be complicated. We may save the sunshine and rainbows for the gram, but the truth is that reconciling the choices that you need to make, how they make others feel and inevitably, how they make us feel can be an impossible task.

We've got the first The Launchcast Reboot of season 3 with episode 306, "Put a Sock In It" where George interviews John Cronin and his father Mark Cronin, co-founders of John's Crazy Socks, a social enterprise that the boys bootstrapped during start-up phase and have grown into a multi-million dollar organization whose mission is to spread happiness (with the CRAZIEST socks). What if we told you that a man was born with Down syndrome, a hole in his heart, and required intestinal surgery at 2 days old, what would your expectations of his life be? If your answer is "low expectations," you're missing the secret ingredient: happiness.  Since this podcast is all about exploring the depths of leadership, George felt it was his duty to ask John and Mark the hard-hitting questions that tell the true stories of the leadership journey. In order to remain true to that mission, this episode comes to you in its original raw, unedited form. Please be patient and pay close attention to John's answers...they contain some of the best examples of leadership that we've every heard on this show.

It's time for The Launchcast's own version of Shark Tank on episode 209. In this very special episode, we teamed with "Winning Entrepreneur Secrets," a room from in the "Network Like Crazy" club on the Clubhouse app to host a pitch event for entrepreneurs. Here's the deal: George and the rest of the moderators from "Winning Entrepreneur Secrets" give each speaker 30 seconds for their best business pitch and the mods in turn give them invaluable feedback on how to improve their pitch. Business and speaking gems galore. The LaunchDad also talks about his newly released TEDx Talk "How to Reinvent Public Speaking" and the journey to its inception.  George's newest TEDx Talk: "How to Reinvent Public Speaking" (synopsis below) from TEDxDerryLondonderry: https://youtu.be/eTc3k_gw1FQ Talk synopsis: A satirical look at the world of public speaking through the eyes of TEDx organizer and multi-time TEDx speaker, George Andriopoulos. George hypothesizes that the problem with public speaking is that a large amount of stages provide a platform for speakers to sell, which creates a precedent for the wrong kind of impact. Enter TEDx, a platform for spreading ideas with the caveat that the speakers MUST follow the “TED Commandments.” No selling. No political agenda. No religious agenda. No bad science. Can the TED Commandments be the answer that will save the future of public speaking? Explore this idea of hopeful change as we journey through the dichotomy of “the power of the voice” versus “the power of the stage.” Hosted by entrepreneur and keynote/TEDx speaker George Andriopoulos.

Time for a business lesson. What happens when for-profit organizations develop a sense of mission that is akin to that of non-profits? You get a "Not Just For Profit" mentality.

"If I say goodbye, the nation learns to move on; It outlives me when I'm gone; Like the scripture says: Everyone shall sit under their own vine and fig tree, And no one shall make them afraid. They'll be safe in the nation we've made. I wanna sit under my own vine and fig tree; A moment alone in the shade. At home in this nation we've made...One last time." This line performed by Christopher Jackson playing George Washington in Hamilton just about sums up Episode 202 of The Launchcast. After the events at the Capitol Building on January 6, 2021, this emergency episode was put together as a message to current and future leaders with a lesson from the OG leader.  Fair warning: the first 45 minutes of this episode is a commentary of my thoughts. The latter half of the episode is a FULL reading of George Washington's Farewell Address. Take a listen...this 225 year old document may prove much more relevant than you think.

Season 2 of The Launchcast premieres with a very special Episode 201: The Holiday Giving Show. We spent the episode with Dana and James Battaglia, two of George's co-founders and co-board members from Shannon's Fight, and we got to talk with four other incredible non-profit organizations about their missions and how they've pivoted in 2020. We selfishly added "The One Where We Pretended We Were Oprah For An Hour" to the title because it was such a blast to do some major good for such good organizations, and you'll see what we mean as you listen to this tear-jerker of an episode.  Hosted by entrepreneur and keynote/TEDx speaker George Andriopoulos.   Follow @launchpadceo on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.   Visit http://thelaunchcast.com or more show info and to download/stream the podcast   Check out the links below to support the featured non-profits from today's episode:   Support Joe and The Long Island Coalition Against Bullying at LICAB.org   Support Dave and The Nicholas Center at https://tncnewyork.org/   Support Dana and The INN at https://the-inn.org   Support Matt and Ronald McDonald House New York Metro at https://www.rmhcnym.org/   Subscribe to The Launchcast on Apple Podcasts and get notified of new episodes, every Monday! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-launchcast/id1491622136 Or find us on every other platform (as well as all of our links) here: https://linktr.ee/thelaunchcastshow

We're rebooting a classic appearance when TV personality, keynote speaker, and Executive Chef Allison Fasano joined us and now you're gonna relive it on Episode 143 of The Launchcast. This pairing of the LaunchDad and the Chef is better than Ratatouille and Rioja (it's restaurant speak, go get woke). From her beginnings in Williamsburg, Brooklyn all the way to her rise through the culinary ranks and her eventual television appearances on Food Network's "Chopped" and "Beat Bobby Flay," this incredible chef has always stayed grounded in her food and her comedic charm. Let's have a bite (again) together and discuss leadership. Hosted by entrepreneur and keynote/TEDx speaker George Andriopoulos. Follow @launchpadceo on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
