Can You Hear the Winds of Change? - Janice Lintz
Monday Nov 22, 2021
Monday Nov 22, 2021
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.

The Food Speaks, and So Does Chef - Chef Marc Bynum
Monday Nov 15, 2021
Monday Nov 15, 2021
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.

Put a Sock In It (The Launchcast Reboots) - John Cronin & Mark Cronin
Friday Nov 05, 2021
Friday Nov 05, 2021
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.

Repurpose Your Pain - Estela Lugo
Tuesday Oct 12, 2021
Tuesday Oct 12, 2021
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.
