There are many paths that can lead to a vertical career — and
today’s guest, Steinar Bakke, is the perfect example.

Born in Norway, Steinar started his journey in the army before
moving to the United States to study Software Engineering. After
successfully working as a software developer, he asked himself:
why not try something completely new?

This mindset took him all the way to Australia , where he worked
both as a head chef and an actor. When the pandemic hit, life
pressed pause — and he returned to his roots in engineering back
in Norway.

Today, Steinar has been living in South Korea for nearly three
years, fully embracing the career that truly fulfills him: acting
and modeling. He continues to travel the world for jobs ️ and
hopes to bring his work to Europe in 2026.

His first experiences shooting verticals? Let’s just say…
unforgettable

In this episode, we talk about:

His unconventional career journey

The evolution of the vertical industry

Life and work across different countries

Lessons learned along the way

And one surprising fact: Steinar once worked as a chef in a
German restaurant — and is basically a pro when it comes to
cooking Schweinshaxe

A conversation full of insights, humor, and inspiration — don’t
miss it!
