How The Dots Joined Up For Jason While\\xa0Jason\\u2019s financial success is aspirational, it\\u2019s his story that is the true inspiration for anyone wondering if they can make a living selling through their passions.

He was born into a military family and went into the family business by enlisting in the Air Force right out of high school. When\\xa0Jason\\xa0came out of the military 6 years later, he was terrified of becoming another homeless vet. While he tried some other conventional jobs, he couldn\\u2019t shake his calling as an artist. Constantly obsessed with finding the light,\\xa0Jason\\xa0decided to put all his efforts into making a fine art career work. So what was it that kept on pulling him back into a world that screams from the outside you can love your work, but dont expect to earn from it?
