In this inspiring and down-to-earth conversation, Heather sits down with the incredible Aaron Marcus — a full-time actor and model with over 1,300 bookings across four decades. You might recognize Aaron from A Man Called Otto with Tom Hanks, House of Cards, or dozens of commercials and print campaigns.
Aaron’s journey didn’t begin with a theater degree or industry connections. It started with music, lifeguarding, and a lot of YES moments that opened unexpected doors. He shares the heart-led choices, divine nudges, and real-world lessons that helped him build a successful acting and modeling career — and how he now teaches others to do the same.
