‘Recognizing a Star’


TTL. Can you tell us about yourself briefly?
I: Hi my name is Ismail and I am one of the co-founders or creators of benched topics podcast along with Nathnael and Getnet.



TTL. Can you tell us about what you are currently working on?
I: we are working on developing a podcast that focuses on addressing the issues that the youth of our generation face especially here in our country.



TTL. How was life as a child? Had it any functional relation with your profession?
I: when I grew as a child I never thought I would ever be interested in these things, it didn’t occur to me that I would be interested in content creating as I am now, but as I grew up with internet and watching many people creating influence and using their content to educate so many individuals and change how they think about many things. So that inspired me a lot and I loved it ever since and I am doing my best to be the best influencer that I can be.



TTL. Is there any situation that you used your professional prospects to mobilize society? Or to impact towards any set goal?
I: yes, For example I myself as a youth have different issues to solve as a result I share what I know and find other solutions up online from different people and share it on our podcast. But there is this situation I remember and one day I was just talking with some of my friends and we started asking each other what success means and whom are those people we say they are successful and I’ve learned from that conversation and went up on the podcast and shared what I learned.



TTL. Are you a dreamer? A visionary? Tell me what your wildest dream or vision are?
I: yes I have a dream like I don’t even know where to start telling, one of my wildest dream is to become a well know influencer that is known for his creative and problem solving mindset. And I have a vision to develop a podcast that will entertain, educate and help so many people here In our country.



TTL. If you could change something, what would you change?
I: I honestly wouldn’t change anything, everything we did lead us to this path which I think is just the start.



TTL. What’s your favorite thing you’ve ever created?
I: we are just getting started and we have so much to do but I say our first podcast is our favorite thing because it’s the first step to everything we started.



TTL. Do you have any specific mood or time to do your works?
I: yeah creating the content needs focus and attention and a good mood, we have our own program that we do these things with but sometimes if we are not in the mood we will try our best and if we can’t the next day follows. Since we are three we motivate each other to work hard and that has never been a problem to us.



TTL. What are you trying to communicate with your platform/ Channel?
I: we are trying to give a clear image of what should we do with our youth life and how we can live an effective life, not just that we tackle many issues that we think are hot issues and discuss around that and give a clue on how we think that can be solved or used for the better.



TTL. Where do you finding ideas for your work?
I: as I told you we are three and some of us come up with ideas or share a story that make us say “yeah we should say something about it” or we look up on the internet and find issues that can be discussed or maybe we start from the problems that we also have as a youth and we will come up with something to share.



TTL. What’s the best advice you ever had about how to be more creative?
I: being creative is just the art of connecting ideas so trying to come up with your own idea is key and never look for something that has been created or don’t be more focused on the things that have been created before.
