Recognizing Opportunity

Episode 030

Leon Rollerson is a jazz musician who has been inducted into four different halls of fame, but he identifies himself as a teacher. He comes from a long line of teachers and loves to teach music, broadcasting, and all sorts of life skills. We connected for a beautiful discussion about finding outstanding people in our lives and recognizing opportunity.

"Opportunities are something that I really, really believe in. They come in many different styles and fashions. I teach opportunity to my students and to anyone that will listen."

Leon has a wonderful way of telling a story and shares several from his life. He teaches us how to be ready for opportunities when they appear and shares a story of an opportunity that he seized and another one which he lost. He also shares his perspective on making large amounts of money and on finding happiness.

Costumes

Leon’s insight when talking to someone new is astounding. He is the type of accomplished professional who remains kind and relatable that I aspire to become. For this reason, I chose a sorcerer’s apprentice inspired look for his episode.
