Holding a Broken Mirror to Star Trek Comics with Scott & David Tipton

What happens when you get three comic lovers together in one virtual room? Absolute nerdy pandemonium. On this episode of Trek Untold, brothers Scott & David Tipton visit to discuss their work with IDW on Star Trek comics, including their current series based on the Star Trek TNG mirror universe, "The Mirror War," which looks at the rise of Picard in the Terran empire along with some familiar faces acting in very different ways.

 The siblings delve into Star Trek comic history with a look at the Gold Key comics and the DC comics versions, discuss how they got started in the comics profession and their mentors and influences in the industry, with great stories about Harlan Ellison along the way.

 Then it's time for some Trek Talk as the Tiptons chat about some of their Trek books for IDW, including "Blood Will Tell," "The Q Conflict, and the entire Mirror Universe saga they are currently writing. Topics include the challenges of building this Mirror universe world and how to write "awful characters," how much Paramount has their hands on what happens in the comics, how they collaborate with each other and with their artists, advice on breaking into comics, and more!

Underdog Showcase: Leah Spasova

In this week's episode of Toys & Tech Of The Trade, Rich sits down with Leah Spasova, CEO of LIFESEXPERTS and Instructor and course creator at Bin Burnout and Thrive. Leah is a psychologist specializing in sex and relationships, educator, entrepreneur, animal activist, content creator, and more. This conversation covered the usual spectrum of topics the podcast is known for and tackled the struggles of being a workaholic, the burnout that comes with it, and how its impact is seldomly discussed, given the current acceptance of hustle culture. Leah shared many of her struggles and the strategies she implemented to treat workaholic tendencies. If you are someone struggling in this department, this conversation will hopefully give you some guidance and techniques to help you but if you need an extra bit of help, check out Leah's resources at www.binburnout.com. These tools are an excellent resource for fellow entrepreneurs, C-level executives, Senior Managers, and Business Leaders to help them reflect on, assess and improve their work-life balance, ending the expensive and exhausting burnout-recovery-burnout vicious cycle many experience throughout their career.

The Bin Burnout and Thrive site offers a range of self-test questionnaires to help assess where a professional is in terms of burnout, workaholism, perfectionism, and their ability to balance work and personal life. Bin Burnout & Thrive also provides many resources to help individuals learn how to recover from burnout and workaholism independently. Furthermore, they invite those committed to themselves, their well-being, and long-term success to a structured course providing a step-by-step transformative journey in a supportive environment and community

Leah is one of the many brilliant folks from the Underdog community we've showcased in past episodes. If you want to check out other members of the Underdog community, check out their episodes below:

Anthony Lake, The Ferengi of the 32nd Century

The internet broke when the first look at the Ferengi was revealed for "Star Trek: Discovery" season four, and now we learn all about this new iteration of this classic alien from the actor under the makeup, Anthony Lake.

Anthony first appeared as a Romulan spectator on Ni'Var in "Unification, Part 3" and returned in season four to portray ALL the Ferengi characters seen on camera!

 Lake explains how his interest in star trek came through horror makeup, scenes left on the cutting room floor from his time on Trek, tips for sitting in the makeup chair, and the different prosthetic processes, hairs, and wardrobes for each character he played.

Plus, his unique path into acting and why much of his career involves prosthetics and intense makeup, his first big break on "Defiance," his first dose of prosthetics in "The Strain," becoming Blavglad the Exsanguinator in "What We Do In The Shadows," and the most NSFW thing ever discussed on the show, Anthony's time as the porn version of Jack From Jupiter in "The Boys."
