    75 - TJ Wilk - From Manny to Main Roles and Swimsuits to Spotlight...

    This conversation is one I could have continued for hours — TJ Wilk @tjwilkofficial shared so many fascinating stories from his life that I was completely captivated and rarely felt this thoroughly entertained. 🎧✨

    A born drummer, TJ has already released two music albums (including on Spotify). In 2023, he entered the Vertical World as an actor — but his journey there was anything but ordinary. From international modeling success to starring in a TV show, working as a “manny,” attending acting school, and so much more, his path has been incredibly diverse. 🌍🎬

    Originally, TJ pursued Olympic ambitions in springboard diving during college. But thanks to Mark Wahlberg, he developed an interest in modeling and acting — eventually trading his swimsuit for underwear campaigns, a modeling career, and acting classes. 🩲🎭
    At first, acting didn’t come easily. As he shares, memorizing lines for auditions was a real challenge.

    Only after learning new techniques — and realizing that his role in a long-running TV series no longer fulfilled him — did he decide in 2023 to fully commit to his acting dream. His very first audition? A vertical — without even knowing what that was. 😄🎥

    Today, TJ has become a key figure in the vertical scene, captivating audiences daily with numerous lead roles. Drumming remains a big part of his life, just like his daily gym routine to stay “camera ready” at all times. 🥁💪

    And what’s the story behind Kermit the Frog? 🐸
    And why didn’t his Superman flannel pajamas impress a woman? 🦸‍♂️😅
    All this — and many more fascinating, entertaining stories — await you in this episode. Enjoy listening! 🎧✨

    A brand-new episode is just around the corner, and this time I sat down with actor Kyle Colton @kyle_colton89 for a deep dive into the world of vertical storytelling.

    With 50+ verticals under his belt, Kyle has explored nearly every genre imaginable—earning himself a fully checked Vertical Bingo Card 🎬

    🦹‍♂️ Often cast as the villain (or as he jokingly calls it, the “useless assistant”), Kyle shares why verticals offer him something traditional horizontal films often don’t: creative freedom in shaping his characters.

    🌍 What’s still on his bucket list? Shooting outside of Los Angeles—and even outside the U.S. With a China visa already secured, he’s more than ready for his next international adventure ✈️
    🎞️ From dreaming about black-and-white 1940s-style verticals to exploring period pieces, the Wild West 🤠 or even outer space 🚀—nothing seems off-limits.

    💸 And why are CEO storylines sometimes less believable than werewolves 🐺 or vampires 🧛? Because let’s be honest… who actually plays poker for $10 billion?

    Get ready for an entertaining conversation full of insights, behind-the-scenes stories, and experiences from over 50 productions—this is one episode you don’t want to miss! 🎧✨

    🎙️ From the very beginning, it was a perfect match – Michaela & Michael.

    Maybe it started with the name 😉… but in this episode, you’ll quickly realize there’s much more connecting us than just that.

    In this latest episode, I’m talking to Michael J. Gwynn @michaeljgwynn , a true Patriarch of the vertical space 🎬

    He’s well known for portraying a wide range of father figures – from warm and caring to loud, intense, and intimidating. That versatility is exactly what makes him stand out.

    With years of experience in vertical storytelling, Michael shares his honest insights:
    ✨ What’s working in the vertical world
    ⚡ What still needs improvemen
    🚀 And where the space is heading next

    One thing matters most to him on set: teamwork 🤝
    Even when things get hectic, people meet for the first time, and chaos is part of the process – he firmly believes: Teamwork makes the dream work.

    And what’s still on his personal “vertical bingo card”? 🎯
    🏒 As a passionate ice hockey player, he’d love to take on a role in a hockey-themed vertical
    ⏳ Plus, he dreams of shooting period pieces and even stepping into the Wild West

    As a bonus, you’ll also get a mini German lesson 🇩🇪
    Michael used to live in Bavaria and still drops a few German words along the way.

    And how do we end up with him launching a billionaire search for me? 😄

    Well… you’ll have to tune in to find out.
    👉 Don’t miss this episode! 🎧✨
