️ This week on Let's Talk About
Verticals, I'm excited to welcome actor Jake
Hobbs!

In this episode, we dive into Jake's journey into the world of
vertical dramas—how he landed his first roles, what drew him to
this unique format, and what he's learned along the way. We also
talk about his experiences on set, the people he's worked with,
and what he enjoys most about bringing these fast-paced stories
to life.

But this conversation goes far beyond Jake's career. We also have
a very open and honest discussion about the current state of the
vertical industry and the challenges many actors and creatives
are facing today.

From the increasing role of AI and its impact on creative jobs,
to changes in script development ️, fewer productions being
greenlit, and the growing uncertainty surrounding acting
opportunities, we don't shy away from the difficult topics.
Instead, we explore what these changes mean for the future of the
industry and the people working in it every day.

Of course, it's not all about the challenges. ️ Jake also shares
what gives him hope, the changes he'd love to see, and why he
still believes the vertical industry has enormous potential. We
talk about the importance of strong storytelling, investing in
talented writers and actors, and building a sustainable future
for this rapidly evolving genre.

This is one of those conversations that feels both honest and
hopeful—a candid look behind the scenes of an industry that's
changing faster than ever.

Whether you're a fan of vertical dramas, an aspiring actor, or
simply curious about where this industry is headed, this episode
is one you won't want to miss!
