Omar Waseem is a 16-year-old filmmaker based out of SF Bay Area. He's worked with brands such as Penny Boards, Lexus, and even traveled to Morocco to film a documentary. He graduated high school out of his junior year and took a year off to focus on his side projects. He also runs his own podcast called 52 Stories.

We start off on our journeys on Instagram through the content we've created, and how we met. Omar talks about his own podcast and how it has influenced his conversations. We also talk about our generational differences and how the social media has grown and become ever present in our lives. We also talk about how the Internet has changed our perspective of safety and the various services that it has provided. We go back and forth about the placebo effect, cancel culture, modern problems, and whether social media has adversely affected our mental health. We also talk about our assumptions and inherent biases, and how we can go farther together. Finally we discuss our constant evolution and how we can acknowledge our past while growing and understanding how we can move forward.
