We recently had the chance to connect with Meosha Bean and have shared our conversation below.
Meosha, so good to connect and we’re excited to share your story and insights with our audience. There’s a ton to learn from your story, but let’s start with a warm up before we get into the heart of the interview. What is something outside of work that is bringing you joy lately?
Lately, one of my favorite joys has been picking up an old hobby sketching. I don’t try to make anything perfect or even “good.” I just let my pencil wander, sometimes doodling a coffee cup, other times sketching a little street scene. It feels playful, like I’m a kid again, just creating for the fun of it.
It’s funny how these small, quiet moments can feel bigger than any big event. They’ve become little anchors in my week, reminding me that joy doesn’t always have to be loud it can be gentle, unhurried, and simple
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I’m a filmmaker and creator, but at my core, I’m just a curious human always eager to learn more, to understand more. For those who don’t know, I’ve produced films, documentaries, and music videos under my company, M.V.B. Films Productions.
Lately, my focus has shifted toward telling real stories stories that connect us, and sometimes stories that reveal how disconnected we can be. My hope is that through these narratives, we can uncover the threads of humanity that tie us all together, even in the moments where it feels like they’ve come undone
Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. What was your earliest memory of feeling powerful?
Being able to prove to myself that I can do something like math has been huge for me. As a kid, I really struggled with it, and that struggle turned into fear. For years, I avoided it whenever I could. But as I got older, I realized I couldn’t run from it forever I had to face it head-on.
The moment I finally understood and solved problems that once seemed impossible was one of the most powerful feelings I’ve ever had. It reminded me that we’re all capable of doing things we once thought were beyond us. Sometimes, we just have to stare that fear in the face and push through it. That’s where growth lives.
What did suffering teach you that success never could?
I’ve always found this question fascinating. For me, I don’t believe you have to suffer to achieve success, nor do you need success to escape suffering. They’re not cause and effect they’re both simply parts of the human experience.
Life has a way of handing you both. There are seasons when you feel the weight of struggle pressing down, and others when you seem to have everything you thought you wanted yet still feel an emptiness in a different corner of your life.
Suffering teaches you presence, resilience, and empathy. Success teaches you possibility, expansion, and gratitude. Together, they form a kind of yin and yang each incomplete without the other, each shaping you in ways the other never could. That’s the journey, the interplay of light and shadow, the lessons hidden in both joy and pain i dont like to call it suffering lets just call them both lessons.
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. Is the public version of you the real you?
I believe it can be dangerous to give complete strangers unfettered access to your truest self. Too much access can chip away at your identity, and in some cases, destroy it. Take celebrities, for example Britney Spears grew up under the constant gaze of the world. The private moments most of us hold close became part of the public domain for her. Over time, when every gesture is watched and every emotion is consumed, you can start performing a version of yourself that pleases others. That performance hardens into a persona, and slowly, the real you gets buried. When that happens, you lose something precious your own power over yourself. No one should have that power except you. Britney’s story is a heartbreaking example, and while she didn’t cause it, the people who were supposed to protect her failed.
For me, I keep a part of myself for the public, but it’s never the whole story. The rest stays mine because I believe some parts of who we are should never be up for public consumption.
Before we go, we’d love to hear your thoughts on some longer-run, legacy type questions. If immortality were real, what would you build?
Imagine if there were truly selfless leaders visionaries whose only agenda was to see people healed. Imagine a world where cancer and AIDS weren’t just treatable, but gone. Imagine if we could solve homelessness, not with temporary fixes, but by dismantling the systems that make it possible in the first place.
It’s almost unsettling to realize that the knowledge, resources, and technology to tackle these problems might already exist or could exist if the will to prioritize human life over profit was truly there. What kind of world would we live in if compassion, not greed, was the driving force behind power?
