Listen Later

We're finally getting a chance to honor the late, great Frank Shankwitz in this special Launchcast Reboot. 40 years ago, sick children all over the world lay in hospital beds with no hope left in their lives...and then an Arizona Highway Patrol motorcycle officer changed the world by granting the dying wish of a 7 year old boy. Join The Launchcast Reboots on Episode 210 with a replay of our chat with Frank Shankwitz, the creator and co-founder of the Make-A-Wish Foundation. This was a big one folks, which means we took a deep dive into leadership, business, life, and growth with this incredible author, speaker, and the subject of Wish Man Movie Movie, currently streaming on Netflix.

Hosted by entrepreneur and keynote/TEDx speaker George Andriopoulos.
