	Description:		What’s Up, Creative Hustlers! Steven here. Today, from wet & cold Boston, I’m talking with Mira Zaki. She’s a Seattle born, Manhattan based photographer on a mission to empower women through transformative photoshoots. [00:30] What’s up Creative Hustlers! [00:44] Ciao Mira, ready to get hustling? [00:57] Mira is in Southern CA right now. [01:38] A little bit about Mira and what makes her a Creative Hustler! [02:40] The idea of healing through photography. [03:00] Mira is an empath and intuitive, and it comes into her photography. [04:25] We make our decisions based on visuals, so let’s make it a positive photo. [05:29] How Mira connected Photography and her empath/intuitive skills to heal through a lens! [05:58] Do clients come for the photography, or the healing? [06:55] Mira’s photoshoots are full service and a party! [08:19] Mira’s inspiration to keep going: There are SO many stories to tell. [09:20] Mira is starting a project on Puerto Rico, a photo-essay to share their struggling. [09:54] Steven & Melissa adopted 3 Puerto Ricans to help them with the hurricane. [10:26] What do you do on the days where you DON’T have the inspiration? [10:55] Mira is overstimulated, so she rarely feels no inspiration, but if she needs it, she puts on Pearl Jam, and gives herself permission to not create every moment. [12:25] Lack of inspiration is a moment for you to recalibrate, and step back. [13:20] TRUST THE PROCESS! [13:53] Mira is excited about her 3 book series, and she’s proposing a photo and travel book about Seattle, and she’s photographing a WWE Cookbook! [15:02] Steven is really excited about the WWE Cookbook. [15:55] Mira’s struggle is powering down, and taking care of herself. [16:30] Entrepreneur burnout is real. It’s about the bounce-back! [17:14] Mira’s piece of advice for fellow Hustlers -- Sleep! [17:58] Mira has a deep spiritual connection with Paris, but it’s tied with New York City for her favorite place she’s been. [19:00] New York is full of possibilities and diversity. [20:00] Mira would meet Salvador Dali for a glass of whiskey. [20:50] The idea of intuition, and how it impacts Mira’s photography style in different cities. [22:22] Because everything is a possibility, Mira gets overwhelmed with ideas, but it is never too much for her. [23:11] How travel and experiencing other cultures impacted Mira. Her first trip was to Egypt as a child, and it gives her gratitude and awareness, and travel gives you the space to enjoy something. [24:30] Travel gives you the ability to focus. [24:41] That’s a wrap, Creative Hustlers. [24:48] Where Mira lives on the internet. [25:39] You can check us out on TheCreativeHustler.com and LatinandCode.com, and please leave a review!
