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. The Launchcast dives into a conversation on corporate giving and shares a very special talk that George delivered at Speakers Who Dare on an alternative look at the corporate giving model. We also have another Clubhouse app segment where the LaunchDad hosts a corporate giving room and talks to a few leaders about their insights on the topic.

Remember that time that the balancing act of juggling your life became so ridiculous that you lost all traces of sanity? Eh, Sanity is Overrated anyway, right? The Launchcast talks to Jennifer Muccioli and Rob McCaffrey on episode 207 about their podcast of the very same name, Sanity is Overrated. George talks to the crew about the journeys that led them to hosting a podcast and we talk a little podcast shop as well.

Let's get right to the point...Lisa Mateo, CBS journalist and certified personal trainer extraordinaire, sits down with George on episode 206 of The Launchcast and gives us one of our favorite interviews of all time. We talk about her journey starting in Brooklyn all the way to her triumphant "Island in Crisis" piece on PIX11 during the aftermath of Hurricane Maria, and beyond. The two get super deep when they talk about what led to Lisa's health and wellness journey, but you'll have to listen to find out more. We also have another Clubhouse app segment after the interview where the LaunchDad hosts a leadership room and talks to a few leaders about their insights on the topic.

What if social media became more social than it's ever been before? The Launchcast makes history (we made that up) on Episode 205 with the first simulcast podcast from a meeting room in the newest social media craze, the Clubhouse app. We're joined by a few special guests as we navigate the nuances of this new platform, in real time. George also pays special tribute to former Launchcast guest Frank Shankwitz, the creator and co-founder of the Make-A-Wish Foundation, who passed away this past week. Adios, cowboy...we'll miss you.

Empowerment. Episode 204 of The Launchcast is all about empowerment and George talks to one of the most empowered people he's ever met, Gary Doherty. He's the founder of Think Network, Europe's #1 empowerment platform and his relentless drive, success, failure and success again are on full display for all to see as he raps with the LaunchDad from the other side of the pond about both of their journeys. Both TEDx speakers, both TEDx organizers, both entrepreneurs, both on a mission to change the world...and change starts with leadership, right here in this jam packed episode.

It's a good, old fashioned entrepreneurship interview on Episode 203 of The Launchcast. It's called "The Golden Entrepreneur" because George sits down with Dr. Bruce Golden, successful dentist, founder of Vitaminpaste, thoroughbred horse owner, serial entrepreneur...and, oh...part of the founding family of Snapple. Bruce and the LaunchDad talk leadership, business, family and a hell of a lot more.

"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. GW: taking us to school since the late 1700s.

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.
