Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Ousseynou Fall. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Ousseynou , looking forward to learning from your journey. You’ve got an amazing story and before we dive into that, let’s start with an important building block. Where do you get your work ethic from?
Honestly, my work ethic comes from a mix of passion and pressure. I genuinely care about the content I put out—it’s not just for clicks, it’s because I love these debates, these conversations, and making people think differently. But I also hold myself to a high standard. If I’m gonna put something out, I want it to hit. I’m always thinking a few steps ahead, always looking at how to push things further. That drive turns into discipline. Even when I’m tired or things get overwhelming, I don’t like letting things slide, especially if people are waiting on me or expecting quality.
But beyond that, I truly believe we can achieve anything. When you start seeing numbers you didn’t expect, getting reactions you didn’t think were possible—it really hits you: this is real. Like, anything is possible. I can’t say I walk by faith and still carry doubt in my pocket. So I grind with faith, because I already believe it’s ours!
Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?
I’m a creative and a cultural commentator at heart, and right now my main focus is the podcast. It’s where I get to bring my thoughts, my imagination, and my conversations with people who think differently—or challenge how I think. The podcast isn’t just entertainment; it’s perspective-shifting. We tap into anime, pop culture, music, debates that get heated but rooted in respect—and all of it is aimed at sparking real conversation. I think what makes it special is how intentional it is. We’re not chasing trends—we’re building a space where our voices, our thoughts, and our culture get the spotlight they deserve.”
“What excites me the most is watching how people are connecting with it. We’re seeing growth that’s humbling and motivating at the same time. We’ve hit numbers we didn’t expect, we’ve had moments where we realized: people are really listening. And that makes me want to go harder. Right now, I’m focused on expansion—dropping more content across YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram, getting into live debates and maybe even events down the line. I want to build a community, not just an audience. If you’re tapped in with what we do, I want you to feel like you’re a part of it.”
“There’s more coming—more episodes, deeper discussions, more platforms. The vision is getting clearer, and I’m locked in on making it happen.
Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
Looking back, the three things that impacted my journey the most are editing, communication—especially listening—and discipline.
Editing was huge because it taught me how to shape a moment. It’s not just about cutting clips—it’s about storytelling, pacing, and understanding how something feels when it’s played back. Learning that helped me present my ideas better and keep people engaged. For anyone starting out, I’d say: get your hands dirty. Don’t wait to be perfect—just start. The more you edit, the more you’ll understand your own style.”
Communication was another big one, but specifically the ability to listen. When you’re having real conversations, especially in podcasting, it’s not about who talks the most—it’s about who listens the best. That’s where the gems come from. If you’re early in the game, practice being present in the moment. Let the convo breathe. Listen not just to respond, but to understand.”
And finally, discipline. That’s the glue. Learning to show up even when I didn’t feel like it taught me consistency. It’s easy to post when you’re motivated, but the real growth happens when you push through on the days you don’t want to.Most of our successful episode/videos , have come during the breaks/mental day offs,during those moments when that small inner voice won and convinced you to post one more video!My advice? Don’t wait for inspiration—create a system. Build habits that can carry you when your emotions can’t.
Any advice for folks feeling overwhelmed?
When I feel overwhelmed, I try to slow everything down. I’ve realized that pressure doesn’t always mean something’s wrong—it usually just means I care a lot. In those moments, I need to disconnect and breathe. That might look like praying, calling someone I trust, or just stepping away from the noise for a second. Sometimes it’s drawing, sometimes it’s lifting weights—whatever helps me clear my head and come back to center.
My advice? Don’t try to out-run the feeling. Learn how to sit with it and reset. Whether it’s through your faith, creativity, movement, or conversation—find what helps you breathe again. You can’t pour into your work if you’re running on empty
