  <description>Join America's Roundtable (https://americasrt.com/) radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with distinguished guest John Catsimatidis, author of The Wall Street Journal Bestseller "How Far Do You Want to Go?: Lessons from a Common-Sense Billionaire” and owner, president, chairman, and CEO of Red Apple Group and owner of the iconic 77 WABC-AM radio — New York City.
Our key topics focus on the U.S. Presidential debate’s aftermath and the serious concerns raised by Democratic leaders about President Biden’s future leadership role. 
John Catsimatidis, Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy also delve into the realities on the ground impacting America’s families on the economic and security fronts, and the serious risks of an open border which is adversely impacting local communities. The flood of fentanyl pouring into the nation has killed 100,000 Americans over the course of the past year. 
John Catsimatidis also communicates about the importance of faith and its moral foundation which can help educate and raise a new generation of Americans who will apply the meaningful approach of expanding philanthropy and being actively involved in caring for our local communities.
John Catsimatidis is Vice Chairman of the Archdiocesan Council of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese and a member of the Leadership 100 Executive Committee. He is a long-time member along with his wife, Margo. Their daughter, Andrea, and son, John Jr, are also fulfilled members of Leadership 100.   
Bio | John Catsimatidis
Billionaire entrepreneur John Catsimatidis, owner and CEO of the Red Apple Group, reveals how his instincts and common sense have propelled him to massive business success in this detailed account of an incredible rags-to-riches story. Born on the small Greek island of Nisyros, John Catsimatidis immigrated to the States with his family and quickly became a true New Yorker, raised in Harlem. He went to school by day and worked in a small grocery store by night to help his parents pay the bills until, just eight credits short of graduating from New York University, he opted to work in the grocery business full-time. 
Today, that grocery business has become the Red Apple Group, a conglomerate with interests in energy, real estate, aviation, baseball, entertainment, and media, including the iconic radio station WABC, where John hosts leading figures in government, politics, business, and economics.
As Catsimatidis has discovered, the American Dream doesn’t come with an instruction manual—or even a sign to let you know when you’ve arrived at the finish line. How Far Do You Want to Go? tells Catsimatidis’s dynamic story, from his beginnings in the grocery business to entering the political arena, including a New York City mayoral campaign. He’s tried his hand at nearly everything, but he’s far from finished with his adventures. Now, he offers readers a glimpse into the wisdom he’s gained—and the excitement he has for what the future holds in store.In his own words, John Catsimatidis shares with our engaged listeners how his instincts and common sense propelled him to massive business success in this detailed account of an incredible rags-to-riches story. John's dedication to family, faith and country will inspire everyone. 
John's story focuses on the humbling experiences of a Greek immigrant family coming to America and embracing the American Dream through a strong work ethic and sacrifices. Today, his job creation endeavors through the Red Apple Group employs thousands of our fellow Americans, from New York to Pennsylvania, Florida, and other places.

  <description>Join America's Roundtable (https://americasrt.com/) radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with billionaire entrepreneur John Catsimatidis, author, "How Far do You Want to Go?" on vital issues impacting America's economy and security. John Catsimatidis is owner and CEO of the Red Apple Group,
owner of 77 WABC Radio and host of The Cats Roundtable. John Catsimatidis shares about his leading endeavors to fight back against the scheme by carmakers to eliminate AM radio from vehicles and the serious concern that removal of AM alerts will adversely affect millions of Americans when facing manmade and natural disasters.
The conversation also focuses on the high cost of energy and America's leadership on the world stage. John Catsimatidis also shares about his recent conversation with former President Donald J. Trump aired on 77 WABC radio (https://wabcradio.com/episode/president-donald-trump-04-30-23/).
New York Post | Carmakers’ unsafe, un-American push to eliminate AM radio (https://nypost.com/2023/04/26/carmakers-unsafe-un-american-push-to-eliminate-am-radio/)
"But some automotive makers — Ford among them — want to eliminate the AM option (https://nypost.com/2023/04/14/sean-hannity-speaks-out-on-electric-vehicles-ditching-am-radio/) in all gas-powered and electric 2024 models. The move isn’t only un-American — it’s just plain dumb. AM radio is undisputedly the most reliable form of communication during emergencies. And it’s not only small markets that depend on getting crucial information out via the airwaves — every major city uses AM alerts during manmade and natural disasters." — John Catsimatidis, Op-Ed | The New York Post 
John's dedication to family, faith and country will inspire everyone. John's story focuses on the humbling experiences of a Greek immigrant  family coming to America and embracing the American Dream through a  strong work ethic and sacrifices. Today, his job creation endeavors  through the Red Apple Group employs thousands of our fellow Americans, from New York to Pennsylvania, Florida, and other places.

Bio: John Catsimatidis (https://www.catsimatidis.com/about/)
John Catsimatidis came from humble beginnings.
John was born on the Greek Island of Nisyros in 1948 and 6 months later his parents emigrated to New York City in search of a better life. They settled on 135th Street in Harlem and his father found work as a busboy and his mother was a stay-at-home mom.
John is a true son of New York; he was educated in both the parochial and public school systems earning his high school diploma from Brooklyn Tech. John enrolled in New York University to study electrical engineering; going to school during the day and working in a small grocery store on nights and weekends to help his parents pay the bills. During his senior year, with just 8 credits remaining, John dropped out of NYU to work in the grocery business full-time. By his 25th birthday he was already a success with 10 Red Apple Supermarkets scattered along Broadway on Manhattan’s Upper Westside.
. . . and has lived the American Dream
Now, four decades later the Red Apple Group has evolved into a diversified corporation that has holdings in the energy, aviation, retail and real estate sectors and over 8,000 employees, with approximately 2,000 located in New York City. John and his wife Margo Catsimatidis live on Manhattan’s Upper East side and are parents to 2 grown children; Andrea and John Jr.
John is a firm believer in giving back to the community and has been a strong supporter of the Police Athletic League for nearly 30 years. He serves on the Board of Columbia Presbyterian Hospital, the Hellenic Times Scholarship Fund, and over the years served in a variety of volunteer positions in the Greek Orthodox Church.
