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. === SPONSORS: Livestream Partner, ThreatLocker: https://www.itbusinesspodcast.com/threatlocker Legacy Partner, NetAlly: https://www.itbusinesspodcast.com/netally/ Internet Provider, Rythmz: https://www.itbusinesspodcast.com/rythmz Production Gear Partner, Liongard: https://www.itbusinesspodcast.com/liongard Travel Partner: Bvoip: https://www.itbusinesspodcast.com/bvoip Travel Partner: TruGrid: https://www.itbusinesspodcast.com/trugrid Digital Partner, Designer Ready: http://itbusinesspodcast.com/designerready === SHOW MUSIC: Item Title: Upbeat & Fun Sports Rock Logo Item URL: https://elements.envato.com/upbeat-fun-sports-rock-logo-CSR3UET Author Username: AlexanderRufire Item License Code: 7X9F52DNML
