Tom Clancy died in 2013, but his legacy is continuing with the permission of his family estate with the new authors, Brian Andrews and Jeffrey Wilson.
On 21 May, 2024, now 40 years after the release of Red October, we see the launch of the new Tom Clancy book, Act of Defiance, written by Andrews and Wilson. Brian Andrews is an Ex-Submariner and Jeffrey Wilson is a Ex-Navy SEAL Medic. Their joint experience packs an amazing punch in their many novels, including the continuation of the Tom Clancy legacy.
In this episode, Jeff Smith is talking with Jeff Wilson, about how he and Brian Andrews work together as joint authors to write best-selling books such as the amazing series, Tier 1, and Sons of Valour, and now Act of Defiance in the Tom Clancy, Jack Ryan Series.. There's no holds barred, they talk about how they write, the money they make, books, audiobooks and eBook strategies.
Navy veteran and Wall Street Journal and bestselling thriller author Jeffrey Wilson is a vascular surgeon who was completing his training when terrorists attacked America on 9/11. Already having served, Jeff immediately re-joined the active duty Navy and served as a combat surgeon with the Marines and then with an East Coast–based SEAL team and a Joint Special Operations Task Force, making multiple deployments. His experiences there --- seeing things that cannot be unseen --- sent him on his own journey exploring, and at times questioning, his faith, and are the inspiration for this novel. Jeff has also worked as an actor, a firefighter, a paramedic, a jet pilot and a diving instructor.

In this episode Jeff Smith is talking with Michael Diederich, the Improv Guy
Michael has spent his whole life on stage! He performed most of his youth in California, studied musical theatre at Wagner College in New York, and had a brilliant career for over a decade in the Netherlands.
However, after many years of theatre productions and tours, Michael still wanted more variation, and improv was the answer. He began performing with Boom Chicago in 1993 and in 2006 became a full-time improv actor.
During his time there he gave thousands of workshops, helped them improve their syllabus, created their Public Speaking programme, and helped them develop Interacting, their highly successful improv training for children with autism.
But after many years, Michael realized he was working extremely hard for a small portion of the profits, and was doing the majority of the work himself. With some encouragement from friends and mentors, Michael decided to take a risk in 2018 and go freelance. He is now working even harder, but now instead of a slice, he gets the whole pie!
This is going to be an interview where you will not believe some of the things that have happened to Michael, the depths of despair reinventing himself, and then finding his way to amazing success.
