Creative Entrepreneurship, Becoming a Firefighter & Learning Patience | Jasano Brooks | Episode 140

In Episode 140 of The Art of Being Seen, I sit down with Jasano Brooks, founder of Opya Studios, creative entrepreneur, and firefighter. Jasano shares his journey from pursuing photography to building a creative space that has supported Pittsburgh's creative community for nearly a decade. We talk about what it takes to build something from the ground up, recognizing your worth, and the lessons that come with entrepreneurship. He also reflects on returning to his childhood dream of becoming a firefighter, the importance of patience, and how learning from past mistakes has shaped the person he's becoming. This episode is about creativity, growth, self-awareness, and trusting the process of building a life that feels true to you.
