Manish Goel... Not just an actor!!

18th April, 2023 I Richa Devesar I FilmyPeople

A young boy who was always bullied by his peers for his looks and dark complexion back in school had his eyes filled with dream of becoming, not just an actor, but, HERO. All these odds never discouraged him to follow his dream so after completing his schooling, he straightaway landed in Mumbai to chase the passion he always had. Having started as a Spot Boy on the sets of hugely popular comedy serial of 90s, Dekh Bhai Dekh, he accepted whatever came his way, which included doing crowd scenes with no  dialogues and then getting few dialogues but with limited money and no contacts at all, it was only his passion that was keeping him motivated to achieve more in life.

He kept on doing serials like Just Mohabbat, HipHip Hurrey, CID and few more with a thought that a day will come when people who are just passing by without noticing him, will stop and recognize him and this happened when he was signed by Ekta Kapoor for the serial Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki and since then there has been no looking for this hard working, multi talented actor, Manish Goel, who even after being in this industry for over 28 years has his feet firmly grounded. With no starry air, he proudly says that 'being an actor is my profession and it is because of this profession that people know me, love me, so I cannot even think of taking all this name and fame for granted and be in my own world ignoring my fans and well-wishers.'

Season Two Of The Black Sherpa Podcast: Helping Others Get Ahead In Their Career & Life

One of the strengths of independent podcasting is that people can define their podcast’s goals and objectives without that corporate shadow hovering over them, whispering about cost-per-minute (CPM) ad rates, download numbers, and content that appeals to the widest possible listening audience.

The indie podcast The Black Sherpa posits a noble goal, earnest sincerity, and a desire to affect positive change.

The Black Sherpa Podcast was founded by Nyambe (Yam) Sumbwanyambe in 2022 in order to address the lack of diversity in the corporate world — particularly among people from disadvantaged backgrounds or marginalized communities who are looking to break through systemic barriers that can hinder social mobility.

This podcast provides listeners with the tools and information they need to break down barriers and advance their careers in the corporate sector.

This is how Yam started every episode: “Welcome to The Black Sherpa podcast. The truth about what it takes to get ahead in life and business is out there; it’s just not evenly distributed…yet. The Black Sherpa is all about helping to commit to actions today that your future self will thank you for.”

The podcast’s subtitle is deceptively simple: Yam and friends talk about social mobility.

Yam

Yam continues: “Unfortunately, talented individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds or marginalized communities often face additional challenges in their personal growth and career progression. This is due to the narratives and behaviors that exist within society, which can make it even harder for them to succeed.”

“Each episode features frank conversations with guests who share their experiences, insights, and strategies for success. We aim to empower social mobility through these conversations, one story at a time.”

Season two began in March 2024, and it’s obvious immediately that Yam has honed his hosting craft after season one. In this new season, Yam outlines his four core values.

1. Self-empowerment

2. continuous learning

3. Power Of One

4. Community — go together, get far

As Yam so cogently states, “Failure is a stepping stone to your future success.”

In every episode, Yam asks his guest: “Who are you? What do you do? How are you serving others?”

Can you imagine such a socially conscious perspective on Joe Rogan’s show or Ben Shapiro's? There, proving others wrong is the subtext of every interview.

Yam’s message isn’t sugarcoated. He admits to his listeners that life is hard. If you’re Black, it’s much harder. In one episode with his friend Jeffrey, a teacher and author, Jeffrey explains the challenge of being the only Black student in Wimbledon College and, later on, the only Black teacher.

At heart, Yam is an activist, a searcher for solutions, and as tough as they come. The irony is that Yam’s convivial tone and friendly voice belie a muscular emotional core and a defiant courage to make change when the barriers seem insurmountable.

In this season, Yam has talked to a professional footballer (soccer), a stand-up comedian, several authors, entrepreneurs, Diversity Equity & Inclusion officers, the founder of Race In STEM, and a TedxSpeaker.

“As someone who has spent 15 years as a commercial leader at one of the world’s leading pharmaceutical organizations, I know firsthand the importance of investing time and effort in a way that benefits both oneself and the employer. Unfortunately, many talented individuals miss out on these opportunities due to a lack of guidance and support.”

Yam tells his own backstory: “Growing up in Zambia, my parents worked hard to provide a better life for my siblings and me. Moving to the UK at a young age, I was grateful for the opportunities my parents’ sacrifices had provided me. However, it wasn’t until I matured that I truly understood the unique mix of skills my upbringing instilled in me. Resilience, adaptability, ingenuity, and a sense of humor were just a few traits I had gained.”

Yam Continues: “At the start of my career, I struggled to thrive in a corporate environment. I didn’t have the necessary information to understand how to advance and failed to ask the right questions. My worldview was too narrow to think big enough to accelerate my growth and impact. As a black man in the UK, I faced many of the cliché narratives and felt the need to cover my insecurities and seek validation in the wrong ways and places.

Overall, my experiences have shaped my perspective on social mobility. I am grateful for the blessings that my parents’ sacrifices provided me, but I also recognize the challenges that come with being a black man in the UK. Through it all, I have learned that there are ways to overcome obstacles and achieve success by embracing my unique mix of skills and seeking support when needed.”

Here’s the symbolism inherent in the podcast’s unique title. The Sherpas of Nepal inspire the Black Sherpa podcast's name. Just like the Sherpas serve as humble guides, providing invaluable expertise to visitors attempting the most challenging of journeys, the Black Sherpa is committed to serving as a guide for achieving social mobility, an equally challenging journey.

Yam observes: “Our podcast helps you climb your own mountain by sharing practical insights from our guests’ experiences. As the Black Sherpa, I am your humble guide, helping you tap into and learn from both the good and bad times in our guests’ careers, the experiences that have served them well in the long run.”

The interviews are insightful, with Yam never varying from his key messages. That’s easy to do when you are interviewing friends.

The sound production quality is excellent, with intro and outro music that does its job and an easy flow to the conservations.

Check out The Black Sherpa Podcast. There are key lessons about getting ahead when society prefers to leave you behind.

This review is part of an ongoing series of reviews, recommendations, and essays about Indie podcasters — their craft, their challenges, and the critical role they play in podcasting. These entrepreneurs display skills disparate as hosting, sound production, graphic design, scriptwriting, interviewing, marketing genius, and financial watchdog. They are the heart and soul of podcasting.
