Kostapanos Miliaresis, One the Come Up Podcast

Kostapanos Miliaresis and I covered a lot of ground on the thirty-first episode of One the Come Up, so I suppose I’ll go in chronological order. Miliaresis' journey began in the Boy Scouts, where he first discovered a passion for volunteering. The idea of volunteering continued with him to Athens University of Economics and Business, where he was involved with AIESEC (an opportunity that brought him to Taiwan to teach for three months) and served as an event curator for TEDx. It was in college as well that he and his co-founders started GloVo (later to become ethelon) in 52 hours at a startup competition, making volunteering more accessible and relatable than ever before in Greece. Miliaresis, aside from being featured on Forbes’ U30, is a YTILI Fellow and Alumni Ambassador for the Clinton Foundation. In recent years, he has advanced corporate philanthropy initiatives through AbbVie, the RW Institute, and, most recently, Kaizen Gaming, continuing to serve as a catalyst for positive change on a global scale.
