Today we’d like to introduce you to Midwest Prana Flea Market.
Hello Midwest Prana Flea Market, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today.
As an artist, creator, and entrepreneur originally from Ohio spending my 20s in Los Angeles…I often times felt stuck in my inability to socialize, network, promote myself or my art, or place myself in the right spaces to create opportunities or collaborate with others in a space that wasn’t a club or bar. However, in that time I felt a surge of energy and vibrations participating in the long and historic flea market culture that has developed on the west coast. There’s something special about a community of individuals coming together to make and share memories, be seen and heard, and to make and spend money on things and people you love and are inspired by. Attending the Melrose flea market every Sunday and the Rose Bowl flea market once a month was just the motivation I needed as a person but also as an artist and entrepreneur.
To be from the Midwest is special, and to be able to experience the Midwest is special. The north coast carries the same energy and vibrations I felt during my time in L.A. at those flea markets, so we created a sacred space – MPFM – to harness it all.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road?
I believe if anything is smooth, you’re not working hard enough. Myself and my partner put in a lot of hours in research, preparation, and promotion, amongst so much more… as this our first time in the market space!
Our first market was definitely a success and proved that we really have something special to offer the community of Cincinnati and the state of Ohio as a whole! A few tweaks here and there of course as doing anything for the first time will reveal but we are excited for our future markets!
We’ve been impressed with Ora Krespuko Desegni, LLC, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?

Networking and finding a mentor can have such a positive impact on one’s life and career. Any advice?
Our advice for finding a mentor or networking would first be to come to the MIDWEST PRANA FLEA MARKET, that will take place once a month in Cincinnati, OH!
But I would also say to figure out what your passions and loves are. Once you do that, start frequenting places that fit those interests and passions as there will most likely be someone that feels the same you do or do something that you’ve always wanted to do. If you are an artist… go to art galleries and openings, go to museums, and find local pop-up events in your area or to travel too!
