We've all heard of the superhero origin stories that graced the silver screen or the pages of classic comic books. Bruce Wayne's parents were murdered in front of him and Batman was born. Bruce Banner was poisoned by gamma radiation in his lab and became The Hulk. Peter Parker was bitten by a radioactive spider and became Spider-Man. Our guest on Episode 124 of The Launchcast, Joe Salamone, was bullied so badly from the 6th to the 12th grade, that a series of events years later led him to founding the Long Island Coalition Against Bullying. Through the efforts of LICAB, Joe has possibly saved more lives than Batman ever did, but as the great Jim Gordon once said, "he's not the hero we wanted, but the hero we deserve." George and Joe go into a deep dive on bullying, leadership, purpose, and...Christmas?? Listen up, you might learn something.

Hosted by entrepreneur and keynote/TEDx speaker George Andriopoulos.
