We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Benjamin Koffy a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, Benjamin thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. One of the things we most admire about small businesses is their ability to diverge from the corporate/industry standard. Is there something that you or your brand do that differs from the industry standard? We’d love to hear about it as well as any stories you might have that illustrate how or why this difference matters.
At a point, I reflected on how things work here in Africa. And how far I aspired to reach in media despite the numerous hindrances my current location bring me.
I choose to do things differently, which was the only way I could reach my purpose.
Benjamin, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
I went through our formal education in Ghana, and went up with the Visual Arts curriculum to the college.
Going through all these programs and learning of the skills, I knew with all the challenges we face in my country as an
up coming talented artist that had to be some strategies, and short cuts to end up someplace.
We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.
Yea, I planned and intentionally bought 4k Video equipment and produced a whole season of a TV Drama Series #thelifeweleave https://youtu.be/d6NVT8BC7lE single handedly.
Has your business ever had a near-death moment? Would you mind sharing the story?
There was a period I had not sat and used a computer for about 2 years. I thought I had lost video and animation skills.
