Jon SchickedanzThe mere fact that I spelled Jon’s last name correctly on the first try should be a mic drop, but I have no way to prove it.

Trust me.

I did it…and it was not easy.

Introducing Jon Schickedanz!

During today’s Inquisition, I tell the story of how Jon and I met several years ago so I won’t ruin the surprise by writing it down.

But it’s a good one, and totally not what you would expect.

While Jon looks like he is Dracula, calling in from his cave for this interview, I guarantee he is anything but a blood-sucking monster.

Actually, now that I’ve said that…nah, he’s almost a blood-sucking monster.

Jon is the founder of The Alliance Labs, which is a very cool organization you’re going to learn more about in just a few minutes.

During our conversation, you’ll also learn about Robert Parker, Ed Harris, artificial intelligence, being a ringmaster, Luke Cage, and Westworld.

To say the least, it’s not a boring conversation and we cover many topics.
