In this episode, I am joined by author, actor, and producer D. Elliot Woods. We discuss the power of entertainment media and the arts and how storytelling through film, television, and books has the ability to change society in ways that are often much more effective or pervasive than government policy or news media. We discuss his latest suspense/thriller novel Rise of the Unicorn, and how his own lived experiences help inform and inspire his creative works. Elliot has acted in many popular shows such as NCIS: LA, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, and several Star Trek films and TV shows. We discuss the particular impact Star Trek has made as a franchise that has long centered inclusivity and diversity. We also talk about how Elliot is from the same city as my favorite author, Kurt Vonnegut, and the humbling and epic journey of fatherhood.
