Underdog Showcase: John Hill

The Underdog community that came together thanks to Noah Kagan has been a massive source of inspiration for Rich. He wanted to show his appreciation to the group and its members by sharing their stories. We kick off the series with John Hill, aka John Small Mountain. John is an entrepreneur, content creator, author, and martial artist who uses his talents to help others improve their sales techniques and tactics. John advocates approaching sales with empathy and a more human touch versus the cut-throat tactics that always seem to be instilled in sales strategy. Rich and John discussed how he got started in sales, his time in the military, and a whole lot more. John not only shared plenty of actionable advice but some great resources for listeners to check out.

Steve Varner, Star Trek Toy Sculptor From The 90s To Now

This week, we're talking toys as we are joined by sculptor Steve Varner. This artist worked on toylines like Barbie, C.O.P.S., Army Ants, Inhumanoids, LJN WWF, Big Jim, and he sculpted the very first TMNT figure by playmates, alongside former Trek Untold guest Scott Hensey.

Steve discusses how he got into sculpting toys and some lines he worked in like, sculpting the aliens from the Star Trek TMP Mego figures, the mystery of the Will Riker figure's stance, how playmates figures are made, how Seaquest DSV figures influenced trek, what feature he wished the Trek figures had, meeting Star Trek actors, and a look at some unreleased star trek figures!

More recently, Steve was announced as part of the team sculpting the new Star Trek figures for Playmates, which are coming out later this year. Unfortunately, this interview was done before that was announced, so we could not discuss it, but I hope to have a follow-up soon to see what we can learn about those toys!

Melanie Smith, Tora Ziyal #3 on Star Trek DS9

There aren't many characters in Star Trek history that had the same character in one show have multiple performers. Melanie Smith is one actress who can add that honor to her resume, as she played the third (and final) Tora Ziyal on "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine."

In this episode, we learn about Melanie's unusual road to acting, her first on-screen appearance and her first professional gig in "As the World Turns," what she learned from the legendary Stella Adler, her three appearances on "Seinfeld" including the historic "Shrinkage" episode with Voyager alumni Jason Alexander, her "nude" appearance on "Adventures of Brisco County Jr." with Bruce Campbell, and working with Andrew Robinson on the cult sci-fi film "Trancers 3".

After that, it's time for Trek talk about how Melanie got the part of Ziyal and how far she made it an earlier audition to almost become a member of the main cast, breaking down the romance of Ziyal and Garak, how she found the character and what part of Melanie was inside her, working with Andrew, Nana Visitor, and Marc Alaimo, learning the technobabble, what she did to make her version of Ziyal be different from others, and the full story of why Ziyal died!

A Conversation with Nifty World Founder Becks Perfect

Episode 2 of the podcast features Becks Perfect, the Founder of Nifty World. She immersed herself into the NFT ecosystem a year ago, and it opened her eyes to the incredible financial freedom that cryptocurrencies and digital tokens can create. As a result, Becks had enough success in 2021 that she was able to leave her 9-to-5 broadcasting job and focus her time on learning as much as she could about NFTs and the metaverse.

In this episode, Becks shares how that journey inspired her to create Nifty World, to teach other people how to unlock financial freedom for themselves. She also drops gems about identifying NFTs that have the best value long-term and her strategy for buying NFTs. As a reminder, the GamiFi token launch will be on January 18th on Launchpool and PancakeSwap.
