LOS ANGELES, Sept. 29, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Matt George, executive leadership business coach, host of the television series “Business Forward,” and author of the No. 1 Amazon Best Seller “Nonprofit Game Plan: The Proven Strategy for Nonprofit Success,” embarks on the 50-city “Change Lives Saves Lives Tour” launching in Boston on October 11. The coast-to-coast tour ends on December 18 in Virginia Beach. Two of George’s mentors will join him on select dates. Kevin Harrington, original “Shark Tank” co-host and Harrington Enterprises founder, will speak in Tampa and St. Petersburg, FL, on December 8. Mark Victor Hansen, creator and co-founder of “The New York Times” Best Seller “Chicken Soup for the Soul,” will accompany George in Phoenix, AZ on November 7 and Scottsdale, AZ on November 8.

“The mission of the tour is to inspire leaders in every community to share a vision of true collaboration and unite communities with common goals through a servant leadership model focusing on taking care of each other.” — Matt George
The “Change Lives Save Lives Tour” coincides with the release of George’s two new fiction books, “The Nonprofit Prophet” and “Starfish Among Us” on October 13. Both titles are published by Hansen’s Mark Victor Hansen Library.
During the “Change Lives Save Lives Tour,” George will share valuable lessons learned during his over 30 years of experience as a CEO of nonprofit organizations and his current role as President at employeeInsite. “We as a nation have lost our way in many areas,” he says. “The mission of the tour is to inspire leaders in every community to share a vision of true collaboration and unite communities with common goals through a servant leadership model focusing on taking care of each other.”
“The Nonprofit Prophet” and “Starfish Among Us” narratives support George’s Change Lives Save Lives message. “The Nonprofit Prophet” tells the transformative story of a 60-year-old businessman who takes on the mission of making a real change in his community while confronted with homelessness and poverty. Written with middle school and high school readers in mind, “Starfish Among Us” is about a high school student who befriends a classmate who is being bullied and, in turn, is inspired by his new friend’s resilience, hardship, and humility.
While the stories are fiction, they are based on real-life experiences George observed during his career as a CEO. “Instead of writing a self-help book, I really thought a fiction book with real-life experiences that I have seen would be the best way to tell the stories with the most clarity,” he says.
Publisher Hansen, who describes George as “the master maestro of orchestrating greatness of nonprofit 501c3’s,” says he is honored to support George’s publishing career. “Matt has the largest book launch in human history, and I am so thankful in cheering Matt George on to spreading the word of uniting communities.”
Harrington, who dubbed George the “Nonprofit Prophet,” says George is a model leader. “In Matt’s first book, ‘Nonprofit Game Plan,’ I said he was the nonprofit CEO of our time,” he says. “In his quest to make change for the better, he now takes on a more important title. He is now the ‘Nonprofit Prophet.’ Matt George can take any situation and find a positive. He speaks of empathy and can back it up at every turn. That is leadership.”
