Doug Jones: Embracing Kindness & Empathy
In this special episode of the Gratitude & Growth Podcast, recorded live from Creation Entertainment’s “Trek to Vegas” in Las Vegas, I sit down and interview the legendary actor and one of my cast mates on Star Trek: Discovery, Doug Jones.
Known for his iconic roles in Star Trek: Discovery, Pan's Labyrinth, The Shape of Water, Hellboy, Hocus Pocus, and more, Doug shares deeply personal insights about the origins of his kindness and empathy. We discuss how his upbringing influenced his compassionate nature, the impact of losing his father, and navigating his renowned Hollywood career. Doug also shares stories from the set, including the physical and emotional challenges of his roles, and addresses themes such as emotional resilience, the five love languages, imposter syndrome, and the importance of self-care and prayer.
A big thank you to Creation and their Trek Tours for giving me this opportunity, and a big thank you to everyone who attended the live recording! Your energy, enthusiasm, and reception filled our hearts. To find out more about the Trek Tours, head to Creation’s website! https://www.creationent.com/
