🎧 EPISODE 322 IS LIVE!🎙

A very different episode of The Launchcast, but one of the most necessary if we're going to call ourselves a leadership podcast. The LaunchDad waxes poetic on what's going on in his hometown of Farmingdale, NY. This episode's small-town case study on the effects of politics in parenting and education is a topic that is being discussed in small towns and large cities across the country. The problem is, they crossed a parent with a microphone this time and George isn't standing for it. Tune in to this unconventional soapbox episode. A 10 minute disclaimer and explanation precedes the episode.

One of our lost important episodes ever.

🎧 EPISODE 321 IS LIVE!🎙

There are two sides to this interview: the real story and the work. The real story is that George sits down with professional wrestler and personal trainer Joe Ocasio for an incredible, in-depth interview that delves into his story as a wrester, the art of wrestling and his journey to starting Joe's Results Zone. Now for the work: It's the matchup of the century as George "The LaunchDad" Andriopoulos (formerly known as Muscles Marinara) takes on FFW Heavyweight Champion (and tag team champion) "Life Changing" Joe Ocasio in a 90 minute iron man match and the leadership championship is on the line. It's gonna be a slobber-knocker so make sure to tune in!

You don't have to be a wrestling fan to love this episode, but if you're into the WWE, All Elite Wrestling, Full Faith Wrestling, NYWC New York Wrestling Connection, WWE NXT, Warriors Of Wrestling (W.O.W) or anything else from the squared circle, you'll LOVE this one.
