A Creative Entrepreneur's Path to Purpose
What happens when you build your life around authentic passions instead of conventional careers? In this inspiring conversation, Marco shares his journey as a creative entrepreneur who’s never been an employee a day in his life. From the moment he first heard Jimi Hendrix as a teen, he knew music would guide his life. Combined with his love for food and Italian culture, these passions became Cinque - a unique community space in Switzerland with a bistro, recording studio, yoga rooms, and more.
The road wasn’t always smooth. Marco offers powerful insights on blending creativity and entrepreneurship, challenging the idea that business must be separate from self-expression. “The goal is not the finance,” he says. “Finance is a tool for sustainability.” His philosophy puts authenticity first, trusting that sustainability follows.
For anyone considering a career shift, Marco’s message is clear: “Everything is reversible.” No matter how stuck you feel, change is possible with a decision, the right support, and consistent daily steps. Most transformative is his belief that creativity isn’t rare - it’s our human birthright. “Being human and being creative is the same story,” he says. By reconnecting with this truth, we unlock paths to more fulfilling work.
