We’re looking forward to introducing you to Jaeson . Check out our conversation below.
Good morning Jaeson, it’s such a great way to kick off the day – I think our readers will love hearing your stories, experiences and about how you think about life and work. Let’s jump right in? What are you chasing, and what would happen if you stopped?
Right now, I’m chasing greatness within myself. Not in competition with anyone but myself.The kind of greatness you’re proud of yourself for every day. I believe that this really stems from consistency, discipline, and continually pushing past my limits, even on my worst days. It’s not about becoming famous or getting publicly awarded with big accolades but being better than I was the day before. Building habits, skills, and renewing my mindset that will allow me to perform at my best every day, whether that’s in school, the gym, behind the camera, or in other areas of my personal life. I’m working on intentionally eliminating bad habits and replacing them with better-structured routines that actually move me forward and help me make progress with my goals. If I stopped chasing that, I’d feel stagnant, like I was settling for less than I’m capable of, and I don’t think anyone ever likes feeling stagnant/stuck, or unproductive. I’d lose that drive that keeps me growing and uncomfortable in all the right ways, and I don’t want to see what my life looks like when I stop pushing myself.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I’m Jaeson, a young college student and a passionate storyteller through photography and videography. I’ve always been drawn to capturing moments that feel real or telling a story with my creative imagination. Whether it’s the energy of a basketball or football game, the raw emotion in people’s lives, music videos, events, birthdays, or the details that often go unnoticed in this game we call life, my work isn’t just about creating content for likes and views, it’s about creating a story, a feeling, a perspective or forming an idea that people connect with.
I’ve been building my brand around authenticity and creativity, while working on diversifying my art. I enjoy experimenting, trying new angles, editing techniques, and pushing myself to learn something new every day, both behind the camera and in life. Right now, I’m focused on growing as a filmmaker and implementing more cinematic shots in my films and pictures to tell more captivating stories and let the viewers’ minds wander. Trying to let others embrace their own creative sides. What makes my story or brand unique is that it’s not polished just to impress; it’s real and always has been. It’s built on something that has meaning to me. It’s intentional, and it’s constantly evolving as I evolve.
Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. Who taught you the most about work?
My parents. My dad from a logical perspective as far as working smarter not harder, seeing things through and making wise decisions when it comes to financial management/responsibility and business and my mom as far as being keeping God first in everything I do, knowing He has my back and is my strength to push forward and refuge when I need rest, being relentless when it comes to going after what you want and being willing to put the work in to get it. Both of them, as far as not being afraid to get my hands dirty and not being lazy.
What did suffering teach you that success never could?
Suffering taught me lessons that success never could. Growing up without a lot, I had to watch my mom make sacrifices just so I could have opportunities she didn’t. Seeing her work tirelessly and give everything she had, even when it wasn’t easy, showed me what real dedication and resilience look like. That experience still drives me every day, not just to succeed for myself, but to be able to take care of her, my family, and one day the family I build, without ever feeling financially restricted. Success can feel rewarding, but suffering taught me empathy, grit, and a relentless hunger to create security and freedom for the people I love.
So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. What are the biggest lies your industry tells itself?
One of the biggest lies the entertainment and photography/videography industry tells itself is that success comes overnight, or that talent alone is enough. People sell this idea that if you’re “good” at your craft, doors will just open… but the reality is that consistency, hard work, networking, and learning from failure matter way more than natural ability. Another lie is that you have to follow trends to stand out, when really, originality and authenticity are what last and make an impact. The industry can make it feel glamorous, but behind the scenes, it’s relentless, and the people who actually make it are the ones willing to grind even when no one’s watching.
Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. What are you doing today that won’t pay off for 7–10 years?
Honestly, one thing I’m doing today that won’t pay off for 7–10 years is giving in to small habits like sleeping in late or not being as consistent with my workouts as I want to be. Right now, it feels easy, even harmless, but I know down the line it adds up. The discipline I build—or don’t build—today will show in how strong, healthy, and capable I am years from now, both physically and mentally. It’s a reminder that the small choices I make daily matter way more than I think in the long run.
