59 - Jeff Violette - Hard Hats, Underwear & the Vertical Space...

It finally happened: I had him all to myself for an extended
podcast hangout — Jeff Violette.





The construction engineer and the business informatics graduate
don’t talk about high-brow academic topics — instead, we talk
Verticals





After several years working in construction, Jeff was encouraged
during his freshman year by his roommate Eric Guilmette
@erictaylorguilmette to give modeling a try. He did — but kept it
pretty low-key at first, since he didn’t really want his
coworkers on the construction site teasing him about his
underwear photos 🩲





His very first job in a Vertical? As Jeff tells it, he already
knew when he arrived on set that it was just a background role —
what he didn’t know was that he’d be dancing
 Since then, he’s appeared in numerous Verticals and has
moved from the background into the spotlight. He’s played a wide
range of lead and supporting roles, and as he admits himself, he
doesn’t quite see himself in the over-the-top werewolf characters
. CEOs, on the other hand, are roles he really enjoys — even if
all those suits can sometimes be a bit much ‍️





Jeff isn’t just a Vertical actor — he’s also a Vertical viewer.
Especially when it comes to the Verticals of Felix Merback
@felix_merback whom he openly admits he’s a huge fan of . Jeff
knows all too well how often Instagram ads pop up promoting new
shows, and there are Verticals that have almost made swooming
him.





I don’t know what you were doing in 1993, but Jeff and I watched
Free Willy more than once — and absolutely soaked up that feeling
of freedom when Willy jumps over the rocks, accompanied by
Michael Jackson’s “Will You Be There” . We drift into some shared
childhood memories





After this recording session, what would I personally love to do?
A Carpool Karaoke ride with Jeff — that could be hilarious! Just
like this entire episode.
