Go Deeper

If this one hit home, that's the kind of conversation we go deeper on.

Doing the Work is a weekly Patreon segment where I share what I'm actually working through — the same kind of stuff Jonathan Frakes and I just got into. You're invited to do the same. Come hang.

New conversation every Tuesday.

Jonathan Frakes (Star Trek, Picard) joins us again this week and at 73 he is somehow still the most generous voice in the room. We get into the Picard Season Three reunion he calls a true full circle, the season eight of Next Generation they pitched together after twenty years apart, and the version of Riker he finally got to play one more time. We also talk about the Sir Ben Kingsley humility lesson from Thunderbirds, why he pulls hundred dollar bills out of his own pocket to keep a set joyful and safe, and his ride or die friendships with Brent Spiner, Patrick Stewart, and John Glover - - whose voicemails he still saves like love letters.
