Techies, Trekkies & Star Trek Fandom (EP 950)
Uncle Marv brings together marketer and lifelong Trekkie Kristin Spiotto, MSP and convention regular Joe Balsarotti, and legendary Star Trek insider Lolita Fatjo for a fast‑moving, story‑packed conversation about Trek and tech. The group explores how Starfleet principles, clear “North Star” goals, and great character‑driven storytelling influence everything from MSP operations to modern marketing. They also share behind‑the‑scenes convention stories, the changing TV/film landscape, and where Star Trek is boldly going next.
