Its been less than one week since the biggest protest in US history happened all over the country. Bring millions of people to the streets of not only America but all over the world and on every continent. I regrettably missed the march and was inspired to do something. So I was able to find a few women who were there to talk about the march, Donald Trump, their hopes and fears, Katie Rich's tweet that may have gotten her fired from SNL and much more!

Francis Manapul is a jack of several trades: drawing, inking, painting, coloring, writing, etc. I visited Toronto, Canada for a few days where Francis lives and took a shot that he may want to be a guest on my podcast. Francis took some time out of his busy writing and drawing schedule for the new TRINITY ReBirth book that includes Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman to talk with me. And boy what a talk it was. The timing of my visit to Toronto was odd to say the least. Francis had some deep loss right before our talk. Losing his friend and his biological father in the same day due to different circumstances. Francis had only seen his father once in 30 years when he visited the Philippines, Francis' place of birth.

We talk about how his relationship with his father now affects his storyline and work in Trinity, we talk about his time on The Flash, Geoff Johns, losing a loved one, guilt, regret, family responsibility, and so much more. It gets pretty intense at times but there are also some lighter moments. I hope you'll enjoy our conversation. I know I did.

I am losing my eyesight to a degenerative and hereditary eye disease called Choroideremia. This year I am running 7 marathons around the world to raise money for charity and to see the world before i no longer have the opportunity.

In this episode I talk about running the Guayaquil, Ecuador half marathon. Originally I was supposed to run Rio de Janeiro a few months ago but sickness prevented me from doing that. So this run is a last minute fill in

I was able to get two guides from Guayaquil who I interview. They helped me get through the race.
