Conrad Benner | CEO of StreetsDept.

Conrad Benner is easily one of the most gifted, artistic,
creative, and passionate individuals I am still getting to know.
Judging by his Instagram content, Conrad is a huge fan of street
art, but more specifically Philadelphia street art. His
photography consists of beautiful images of the city skyline,
random streets with perfect shading and lighting, and even the
occasional people walking around their natural habitat. If you
would like to get inside the creative mind of Conrad, you can
follow his blog called StreetsDept. Whats unique about
StreetsDept. is the the fact that it's not ad driven. The content
is driven based on current trends and what's going on throughout
the fun city of Philadelphia. StreetsDept.'s content has been
been around for over 5 years now. He is currently working on a
new artist interview series with Neighborhood Films and Paradigm
design. Although rarely featured behind the camera, Conrad has
been featured Technically Philly, PhillyVoice, PhillyMag and much
more. Here are Conrad's 3 pieces of advice he’d give to another
entrepreneur (You can hear this more in the 22 minute mark):
Patience and Pick Something You're Passionate About When Conrad
originally created StreetsDept. he knew that he would have to
work for free and work long hours in order to achieve freedom.
Conrad was a freelance photographer for years, before he created
his popular blog, but that never deterred him from his passion.
He knew he was passionate about art and photography, and didn't
mind the hustle. During his freelance stage in his career, he
would do a series about fashion, restaurants, and other topics
that he wasn't in particular passionate about. But with patience,
he was able to begin creating content that he loved. His passions
are street art and a general (and mutual love) Philadelphia.
Conrad mentions that "You can affectively create your career path
because whatever it is that you're doing will take time." Be
consistent Because Conrad's blog isn't ad driven, he gets to
dictate what his content is, making it a more pleasurable
experience for his fans. Conrad mentions that it's ok to take a
day or a week off. "Don't create content, just to create
content." Create the content when the timing is right. Conrad
states: "If it rains all week, there will not be any street art
going up in the city." Philadelphia has the most street art than
any city in the world and it's growing. Consistency is important
because like everything else, the minute you stop, is the minute
that people stop caring. Conrad Benner Email:
