Marcus’s career started under the hood — literally.
As a teenager, he took on a mechanical apprenticeship, learning the value of precision, patience, and getting his hands dirty.

From there, he jumped into car sales — first consumer, then fleet — where he swapped tools for talk and discovered he had a knack for reading people and closing deals.

But when his parents packed up from Western Sydney to open a restaurant in Jervis Bay, Marcus followed — and stayed.
For 20 years, he worked every corner of that family business: early mornings, late nights, loyal locals, and lessons you don’t learn in boardrooms.

Eventually, he took all of it — the work ethic, the people skills, the persistence — and poured it into broking.

This episode is about roots, reinvention, and how every chapter, no matter how far from finance, builds the kind of broker who lasts.
