In this episode of The Finding Purpose Podcast, Adam sits down with Wilson Bryan Beltran — a creative entrepreneur, producer, and community builder whose journey to purpose was anything but linear. Wilson grew up in Port Chester, New York and now calls Stamford, Connecticut home. Today, he leads operations at space67studios in Norwalk, where he helps bring photography, video, podcast, and music projects to life — while intentionally building a creative community rooted in connection, collaboration, and culture. He's also preparing to launch LOT 48, a new creator-first studio designed to give artists and entrepreneurs the space and support to build what's next. Before stepping fully into the creative world, Wilson worked as a registered nurse, serving in the ICU at Yale New Haven Hospital and later in the Emergency Department at Greenwich Hospital. That experience deeply shaped the calm, grounded presence he carries today — and the way he leads, connects, and shows up for others. Throughout this conversation, Wilson opens up about growing up feeling unseen, getting into trouble as a way to seek attention, and the consequences that followed. He reflects on how early discipline, faith, and a desire to belong shaped his identity — and how those same traits now anchor him in purpose. Adam and Wilson also explore the courage it takes to pivot. Wilson shares what it was like to walk away from a stable medical career, try multiple paths, and trust that every experience — even the ones that didn't work — was preparing him for what he's doing now. Rather than seeing those chapters as failures, he views them as formation. Faith plays a central role in Wilson's life and leadership. He speaks candidly about God's presence even in his darkest moments, and how reconnecting with faith helped him release shame, practice humility, and trust his inner compass again. That spiritual grounding now informs everything he builds — from creative spaces to business relationships. The episode also dives into Wilson's role as a connector. He talks about building culture intentionally, leading by example, and creating environments where people feel safe, inspired, and supported. Whether through space67studios, SOUNDS, The SEED, or Notes Coffee Bar, Wilson is focused on one thing: using his God-given gifts to bring people together and help them create. This is a conversation about growth, faith, identity, leadership, and what it really means to find your place — not by having all the answers, but by staying willing to try, learn, and trust the process.
