Inspiro Studio

We had an amazing experience watching the LA premiere of A film by our friend Jenna Winters. It was nothing short of extraordinary. The film shares the powerful journey of Michael Naranjo — a Native American sculptor, Vietnam veteran, and visionary artist who, after losing his sight in the war, discovered a deeper way of seeing. His life is a testament to resilience, spirit, and the belief that while we are all given a life, it’s up to us to make it meaningful.

What moved us was the creative bond behind the camera. Jenna is the writer and director of the film. Michael is her father — a collaboration that added a rare depth and tenderness to the story. Watching a daughter honor her father’s legacy through her own art infused the entire experience with a sense of family, reverence, and generational storytelling.

Dream, Touch, Believe reminds us that every calling begins as a whisper from the soul — and that answering it can change not only our own lives, but the lives of others.

Congratulations, Jenna. Your work honors your father, uplifts the spirit, and brings an essential message of hope and possibility to the world.

In the beginning of 2020 I made the decision to scout around for a studio/office space to meet the client demands and expand my business. With a little bit of luck and divine timing I found an excellent location that checked all the boxes. By the time I began my negotiations for the space the global pandemic had arrived and all the momentum we had generated was put on pause.

I was faced with a critical decision to make. Do I sign the deal or just wait and see what’s going to happen with the world. It was clear that the studio was going to get snatched up because there were 5 other interested parties. I had to act fast and after a couple nights of contemplation I decided to go for it.

In case you didn’t know, I’ve had 2 previous studios. The first was in Silverlake and the second was in Hollywood. Neither one of them was as ideal as this one. From my decades of experience as an entrepreneur, I had weathered some economic storms including 911 and the recession that followed. I had to walk away from my space in Hollywood at the time. What I learned about that phase of my life is that even the worst situations will eventually pass. I survived and I eventually began to thrive again.

The opportunity in front of me was perfect. I’m committed to my craft because I love what I do. I love my clients. I’m passionate about helping others achieve their dreams. I decided to go for it and signed the dotted line. The first year was unique. I spent lots of hours building it out and customizing the space for our needs… waiting for the heartbeat of the business world to come back. When it did, we were ready.

Looking back on the journey, it’s been a great ride. I’m very proud of taking the risk and betting on myself once again. It’s all been worth it. Thanks to my team and my clients, we are pumped for another great year. I’m grateful for everyone who supported Inspiro Studio. Let’s all have a 2023 filled with purpose and prosperity.

Thank you to our amazing clients for a stellar year 💫 We wish you all the best in 2022!
