Marv and Jen turn the focus to Marv’s own story in this lively episode, tracing his journey from a childhood in a military family to adulthood in Fort Lauderdale. After landing in Florida at age six, Marv’s path weaves through Patrick Air Force Base, college in Palm Beach, and eventually his first “adult” job as Marketing Director for Junior Achievement of South Florida. Fundraising, event planning, and knocking on doors built early community ties, even as Marv admits he didn’t fully “experience” Lauderdale at first.Nostalgia for classic spots like the old Floridian, Fishman’s Wharf, and Cypress Creek’s early theater scene blends with candid banter about restaurant waits, first dates, and why local hangouts matter. Marv’s story is both a portrait of personal growth and a love letter to the city’s overlooked gems. Resources/Links Mentioned:Junior Achievement of South Florida: https://jasouthflorida.org/Palm Beach Atlantic University: https://www.pba.edu/Humane Society of Broward County: https://humanebroward.com/Floridian Restaurant: https://thefloridiandiner.com/Tropical Acres Steakhouse: https://tropicalacres.com/
