Only one man can lay claim to the following things: lost almost 200lbs, ran a marathon, received a compliment from Oprah Winfrey, convinced Howard Stern Show writer Sal Governale that he was a turtle and that his *cough, cough* was missing (2 different instances), oh and also helped COUNTLESS people change their lives. Join The Launchcast on Episode 113 as we interview the great Scott Schmaren, world-renowned hypnotist, speaker, author, coach, and neuroperformanceologist. Take all your preconceived "you are getting sleepy" hypnotist notions and toss them out the window, because we're getting real with Scott on leadership, business, life, and growth.

Time to get down to brass tacks. There is no such thing as leadership unless we stand up and say, "I'll do it." The Launchcast takes a raw and emotional dive on a "ripped from the headlines" Episode 112 as we discuss the tragic case of Thomas Valva and the emotional plea of Quaden Bayles and his family. George lets out an emotional monologue that speaks to leadership from the perspective of a father, husband, thought leader, and activist. We cover the importance of understanding disabilities, being an activist when you see something wrong, bullying, and so much more.
