It's a reboot of one of our deepest cutting interviews. Join The Launchcast on Episode 144 as we interview director, editor, and documentarian Ben Duffy. We're talking about his life as a filmmaker, his projects, and the unexpected role in leadership that he has found himself in. Trigger warning for those sensitive to mental health conversations, but MAN was this a necessary interview. Dive in, people...this is a good one.

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.

So nice the first time, we had to reboot this one and brand it "a classic" episode. The Launchcast is coming at you with Episode 142 featuring our legendary guest and best selling author, Dr. Greg Reid. We're talking writing, servant leadership, producing a movie (that's on Netflix!), and much more. Leadership, business, life, and growth with the author of Three Feet From Gold, Wealth Made Easy, Stickability, The Tokens, and more. Oh, and Greg shares the secret to life as well. No big deal.

We're rebooting one of our favorite two-part interviews, and melding them back to one monstrous, beautiful episode. The LaunchDad chats with the legendary (and recently retired) News 12 Long Island news anchor Carol Silva, who drops truth bombs like, "damn it, there is no shame in cancer." Topics include growing up in New York, Carol's career arc (from radio to television), the voice of women, 9/11, truth in journalism, Carol’s recent health battle, retiring from News 12 Long Island on her own terms, and more. This is what the Reboots are all about.
Hosted by entrepreneur and keynote/TEDx speaker George Andriopoulos. Guest co-host for this episode was Jennifer Muccioli from Sanity Is Overrated.

Sometimes you live a normal life, doing normal things, thinking normal thoughts. No delusions of grander. Not an inkling of leadership...and then disaster strikes. On this special Episode 136 of The Launchcast we talk talk to Nikki Ruppenstein and Katerina Katolis about the leadership that follows crisis and how important it is to listen to your gut when it tells you that it's time to step up. We may possibly be talking 90s rap as well. You never know.
