Are you in the mood for a mix of Canada 🇨🇦, verticals 📱🎬, and a full-on food tour 🍔🍕🌭—all combined with a generous portion of humor and fun? Then you’re absolutely in the right place with this conversation between Marcus Kelly Curtis and me 😄

⚠️ Small trigger warning: There’s a very high chance this episode will make you hungry—and might leave you with a strong urge to plan a food trip to Germany 🇩🇪✈️

Marcus and I dive into a relaxed and entertaining conversation about his original career plans as an ice hockey player 🏒, which then shifted toward studying neurology 🧠—until his mom encouraged him to give acting school a try 🎭… where he ultimately found his true passion.

Since he’s always loved stepping into different roles and entertaining people, it didn’t take long for Marcus to become very grateful for that life-changing advice 🙌

His lightness, humor, and genuine desire to entertain make acting his dream job 🌟
 Always in a good mood—and known to improvise on set 😄—Marcus has an impressive ability to remember scripts, even after a skull concussion 🤯

What he ate that day, though? That’s a different story… 😅

What does he wish for his future in the vertical world?
 👉 More shoots outside of Canada 🌍

👉 Better storylines 📖

👉 And more screen time to stay longer with the characters he grows to love ❤️

His must-have on set?
 Good vibes ✨ and colleagues who can keep up with his energy 😄🔥

We’ve already (mostly 😉) planned his 2026 food trip across Germany and Switzerland 🇩🇪🇨🇭—now I’m just waiting for his message about when he’s landing so we can kick off the adventure 🚗🎤
 Think: Carpool Karaoke, ABBA songs 🎶, and lots of amazing food 🍽️

This episode is packed with humor, great stories, and even some deeper, thoughtful moments 💬
 Enjoy listening—and stay tuned for our upcoming food trip vlog 🎥✨
