The World Needs Artists Too | Marcus the Acrobat | Gen IQ

The World Needs Artists Too | Marcus the Acrobat | Gen IQ

Marcus is an acrobat, performer, entertainer, husband and a father who has spent thousands of hours perfecting his art and bringing joy to audiences all around the world.

But that’s not the only reason we had this conversation. We first came across Marcus while watching one of his performances. At the end, he said something that was meaningful and powerful in many ways and aligned perfectly with Gen IQ’s message.

Addressing the kids, he said that although he had a degree, he consciously chose to become an artist because he believed the world needs artists too.

That sentence in itself is fascinating. Because Gen IQ is not really about what people do for a living.

It’s about understanding why people choose the paths they do, what they’ve sacrificed along the way, and what they’ve learnt about life because of it.

This conversation turned into so much more than a discussion about acrobatics.

It was about purpose, childhood dreams, discipline, fear, identity, serving others, and what it really means to build a meaningful life.
