    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.

    "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.
