This encore episode is double the size than a typical Trek Untold because it's actually two shows in one! This is because I first interviewed Lycia Naff at the end of November 2020, and nearly a year later, we did it again since her journey in Star Trek had just resumed.  Lycia Naff is known best to Star Trek fans for her two appearances in "Star Trek: The Next Generation" as Ensign Sonya Gomez from the second season episodes "Q Who" and "Samaritan Snare." Over 30 years later, Lycia returned to the franchise to reprise Sonya in "Lower Decks," only this time she was now a captain of her own ship, the USS Archimedes! Although Gomez was originally meant to be a love interest for Geordi LaForge, things didn't work out for Ensign Gomez after spilling her hot chocolate on Captain Picard. Lycia tells us the behind-the-scenes story about what happened to her character and what happened to the third episode she was meant to appear in that would have changed Geordi's character. Plus, memories of seeing the Borg in their debut appearance, working with the cast & crew, including having to spill hot liquids on Patrick Stewart, and why she believes Ensign Gomez never returned... until she miraculously did in the second season of LDS. In our second portion of the interview that took place a year after the first, Lycia discussed what got her out of retirement to take the role, what it was like reprising this fan-favorite character, and all the in's and out's of being on a Star Trek show again.  You may also recognize Lycia from her role in "Total Recall" as the three-breasted mutant hooker on Mars! Lycia recalls working with Paul Verhoeven and Arnold Schwarzenegger in this iconic and memorable role, with some happy stories and one "explosive" tale. Lycia explains why she left acting and pursued journalism, leading to one of her biggest stories, when she broke the news about the Bill Cosby sexual assault allegations. We talk about the investigation, the fallout from this story, and how it changed the landscape of modern feminism. We also chat about her not-for-profit group, Drive-By Do-Gooders, and in this pair of interviews, we see what changed as COVID continued ravaging LA's homeless communities. Plus, horror stories of working with Debbie Allen on the "Fame" TV series, sharing the screen with Daryl Hannah in "Clan of The Cave Bear," her time in "Hunter" and "Lethal Weapon," riding motorcycles & killing the undead in the B-movie "Chopper Chicks in Zombietown" and a few other Hollywood tales.

Oh look they're back AGAIN. This time Maureen and Jen get to grips with Maureen's fame, TV shows and how Maureen is little of interest to say about Barry Cryer. What I'm trying to say is, this episode is just more of the same.

Us humans, we have all these labels for people, right.Us humans, we have all these labels for people, right.Some are mean like calling someone a nerd or a moron.  Some are self-applied like goth or grunge.  Some clearly state a specific spiritual philosophy like Christian or Pagan. Some are about ancestry, others skin color, still others define the generation you were born.  We use these words as a way to categorize traits or behaviors and all of it is a way for our brains to create boundaries.  Wars are fought, rallies are held, weddings are arranged, all in the name of these boxes we create.  When it comes to business, the words that create our box, our brand are important too.  We can incite love or hate, connection or ambiguity just by our choice of label, the words and actions that define us.Our guest today is in the business of creating these connections through stories that building better brands.  Labels that describe him would be extrovert, connector,  describer, storyteller.  Dmitri Vietze has been building brands for decades.  His business Rock Paper Scissors helps musicians, tech companies, and entrepreneurs of all kinds tell their story.  In this episode, he’ll tell his.We’re glad you joined us!Listen Here:Here are some highlights:What childhood memories led Dmitri to start a marketing business? (2:45)Dmiti was born in Nashville, TN and lived there for the first decade of his life. His family then moved to Queens New York in the 1980’s.  He spent his high school  years there attending the New York City school for Music and the Arts (the high school from the FAME TV show).  Dmitri was heavily involved in activism there speaking out against racism and cultural inequity.  His activism involved a ton of public speaking, marketing, and sharing the story of the inequity he saw.  After high school, he got a scholarship to attend the liberal arts college Antioch College with a focus on activism.What’s the origin story of Rock Paper Scissors? (4:10)At Antioch, Dmitri really drove towards the business maragement side of things.  He still felt powerful about activism but he wanted to find a way to connect it with building a business.  After college he took a job in Portland, OR.  He started digging deep into the root of the music he loves.  80’s progressive hip hop used a ton of jazz samples so Dmitri started listening to more of that.  That led to a love of African roots, afro-beats, and world music in general.  Eventually, a record distributer asked him to use that knowledge to do PR work for their global clients.  After doing that for a while he decided he wanted to pick his own jobs.  In 1999, Rock Paper Scissors was born.Dmitri is known for wearing vibrant colorful clothing.  Where does that choice come from? (11:45)Bright colorful cloths have been a think for Dmitri since he was a kid.  He’s always just felt like it represented him and nis personality.  As a business owner, he realized that people were noticing it and the bright clothes really proceeded him into business conversations.  The work he does is creative, fun, and colorful.  He wanted that to be represented in the visual palette people saw when he entered their space.How has the music industry changed in the time you’ve been connected with it? (13:45)The 90’s was really to boom of record sales and that feel off when online streaming of music became a thing.  As physical record sales dropped, live music took more of a center stage.  Huge festivals have been a thing and continue to bring in big bucks while offering artists of all sizes the opportunity to connect.  The club scene has grown as well.  In addition, digital sales have become more streamlined and paid for.  Napster offered music for free, really hurting musicians, but iTunes, Spotify and other streaming mechanisms have monetized music in a way that ultimately help musicians.­ Another trend is that more and more musicians are publishing.  Recording music and videos is easier which is great but it also means there’s a ton of competition.  The best thing to do is just kep producing and marketing the music you create.How has Rock Paper Scissors Evolved? (21:55)Dmitri loves technology.  Rock Paper Scissors developed a ton of tech to support their PR work.  He realized that he could apply his systems not only to World Music but also to tech companies, and all kinds of other entrepreneurs.  The stories are very much the same.How can businesses tell their own stories? (39:00)  Don’t use cliché terminology.  Start with the origin story and build from there  Have someone else interview you and discover your own answers. Get that outside perspective  Figure out what truly makes you unique­­­  Focus your story around a human. Give your listener someone to connect the story withRock Paper Scissors has focused on technology for music public relations but now you're serving pure tech companies as well.  How do they connect? (21:55)Healthy tech brands tend to have four concepts at their heart: Equity, Transparency, Innovation, Networking & Research. This really isn't any different than the musicians we've always worked with.  It seemed like an obvious fit so we connected with some tech brands and the results have been great.How has Rock Paper Scissors Evolved? (37:00)Dmitri wants to grow into the pure Tech PR business and he wants to continue using Storyfinding methods where the masses are telling the story of the business in a way that’s decentralize from the business itself.Mentioned in the episode:  Fela Koti – Afro Beats artist  Napster  iTunes  CD Baby – “The onramp to the music industry”  Paren Lamb – Indy Coffee House Playlist  DIY Musician Conference  Jack Conte - Pomplamoose & Patreon  Storyamp – Automated music marketing platform  DeveloperTown – “Software is eating the world”  The Innovators Dilemma & The Innovators DNA by Clayton Christensen  Edelman Trust BarometerSpecial thanks to Dmitri Vietze for taking the time to share the Rock Paper Scissors story with us.The show was produced and edited by me Jeremy Goodrich.
