What if your dream job wasn’t part of the plan — but the plan was never meant to be followed?
In Episode 12 of Your Radiant Spirit, I talk with Aaron Marcus, a working actor and commercial model who has built a 40+ year career with over 1,300 bookings — all without industry connections, formal training, or a fallback plan.
“I started having dreams that I was a wildly successful physical therapist… and completely bored with my life,” Aaron shared. “When I talked about acting, I just lit up.”
Aaron’s journey is a masterclass in imperfect action and intuitive living. From a chance meeting on a train to working with Tom Hanks in A Man Called Otto, he shares how saying “yes” — even when it doesn’t make sense — created doors where none existed.
In this conversation, we explore:
- Why rejection isn’t personal (and how to keep going)
- How to follow nudges even when no one else gets it
- The difference between being “good” and being prepared
- What it means to be a working artist in a world that craves stability
“Listen to yourself,” he said. “If something feels right to you, it probably is.”
Whether you’re a creative, an entrepreneur, or simply someone who knows they were made for more — this episode is your invitation to trust your gut and say yes to the dream.
