It's another Launchcast Reboot and this is the one where we pretended to be Oprah for an hour. YOU get a donation...and YOU get a donation. Episode 312 is a reboot of a very special episode: 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 more. 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.

It's #GivingTuesday and The Launchcast is explaining what that means on episode 311. The LaunchDad talks about how to get involved with your favorite charity in a ton of ways: donating money, donating while shopping with Amazon Smile, volunteering service or just supporting and spreading awareness. It's a quick episode this week since you got a bonus Thanksgiving episode and we're back next week with another leadership interview.

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.

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. Wait until you hear how deep we get when George chops it up (see what we did there) on Episode 308 of The Launchcast with Chef Marc Bynum, the three-time Food Network Chopped champion, chef extraordinaire and restaurant consultant. Get your Tony Stark sunglasses on and join the boys for an intense, no punches pulled, honest interview.

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.

Imagine being the poster child for a Charcot-Marie-Tooth, a disease that most people have never heard of, while having aspirations of using your artistic and design skills to build a fabulous career. Imagine the pain that CMT would cause over an entire lifetime, both in your identity as a person and physical pain. Now imagine marrying it all together...the advocacy, the creativity and the pain, and turning it into a beautiful life. This week on episode 303 of The Launchcast, the LaunchDad sits down with disability advisor, nonprofit program developer, speaker and educator Estela Lugo for an incredible conversation where leadership takes on all shapes and sizes.
