It's my 100th episode, so I decided to talk to my father, John O'Connor. For over 30 years, my Dad was an executive in the aviation industry, traveling the globe using his leadership skills to oversee construction/engineering projects all over the world. He is a self-made man and one of the smartest, wisest people I know. We may have many differences on the surface, but there was no one I would rather have for a milestone episode like this. Enjoy!

Frank McDonnell is a drummer, singer, songwriter, and screenwriter from Newtown Square, Pennsylvania with over 50 years of experience in the music business. Frank was the drummer of Wellington Arrangement in the 1970s, was signed to Decca Records, and toured with the likes of The Monkees and Bruce Springsteen. Decades later, he's still at it, releasing music under the moniker Supa Philly and entering the world of screenwriting. I've known Frank my whole life, and his story is very interesting!

One of my favorite bands of all time is KISS. They've also been in comic books, animation, video games, toys, etc. I've always wondered why they never had their own proper animated series or movies? Here are some ideas I'd have for what that could be...
