Breaking Into Entrepreneurship: Franchising the Arts with Purpose

Bret Lieberman Season 1 Episode 52

In this episode of Breaking the Biz, we speak with Oksana® Kolesnikova, a classically trained pianist turned entrepreneur and educator, who has built a thriving business at the intersection of the arts and education. As CEO of Oksana® Franchising International, Inc., and founder of Oksana® Management Group, Oksana® Enrichment Programs, and the Oksana® Foundation, she shares how she transformed her passion for music into a multi-branch enterprise that empowers both students and educators.

We explore Oksana’s journey from artist to business leader, the challenges and rewards of launching a franchise, and how she’s helping others become entrepreneurs through her enrichment programs. This conversation dives into what it means to build a mission-driven business, maintain high standards across multiple locations, and use creativity as a cornerstone of entrepreneurship.

It’s an insightful look at how purpose, persistence, and performance can come together to create lasting impact.
