In this episode, Jess sits down for a deeply spiritual conversation with Derek and Sophia Luke. You may know Derek for his performances in “Antwone Fisher,” “Friday Night Lights,” and “13 Reasons Why,” but Derek and his wife Sophia have also dedicated their lives to empowering families, working with underserved and incarcerated youth, and championing STEAM education.
Although they were strangers before this podcast, Jess, Derek, and Sophia quickly bond over their shared vision of changing the media industry to tell more inclusive stories and how their version of The Good Life involves purpose, service and helping the next generation see themselves in the media they consume.

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
