Welcome to another episode of Decoding AQ, where we unravel the fabric of adaptability in our ever-evolving world. Today, I'm thrilled to have a truly special guest - Rod Roddenberry, a visionary in the realm of science fiction and beyond.
As the son of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry, Rod has not only upheld the legacy of this iconic series but has expanded its horizons as the CEO of Roddenberry Entertainment. From 'Star Trek: Discovery' to 'Star Trek: Picard', Rod continues to explore new frontiers in storytelling.
But Rod's adventures aren't confined to the cosmos. He's an avid scuba diver, leading the Roddenberry Dive Team in a quest to uncover the mysteries of our oceans, inspiring environmental stewardship.
And when it comes to making a difference, the Roddenberry Foundation is at the forefront, investing in groundbreaking medical research to fight diseases like Alzheimer's.
