Wesam's World

Wesam is back with Episode 339 of Wesam’s World Podcast, and this week he’s joined by return guest, friend, and fellow BJJ practitioner Rizaldy Jr.

Wesam and Rizaldy go deep in one of their most meaningful conversations yet—covering creativity, transformation, and healing. Rizaldy shares what it was like to paint a portrait of Wesam (something he rarely does for close friends), what he learned in the process, and how the experience changed his perspective as an artist.

They also reflect on Rizaldy’s journey out of a darker past—escaping drugs and a destructive lifestyle—and how art helped him rebuild. The episode ends with a beautiful conversation about creative energy: Do you control the art, or let the art move through you? Are you focused on the tools—or do you let the moment guide you?

Vulnerable, honest, and creatively rich—this one’s for the artists, dreamers, and anyone on the path of becoming.

Wesam sits down with actor, writer, and teacher Jamar Gilbert for a deep dive into building your own work from the ground up. They unpack the creation of Jamar’s one-man show Black and Blue—where the idea came from, how it developed, and a practical roadmap for anyone who wants to make their own piece. They also talk about why teaching acting can sharpen your craft even more than taking classes, and how stepping into the mentor role levels up your instincts, discipline, and taste. To round things out, they hit industry news: reports of hidden tunnels discovered in Los Angeles and HBO’s crackdown on password sharing—what it means for audiences, creators, and the business side of storytelling. 🎭

Wesam is back with a brand-new episode of Wesam’s World Podcast, and this week he’s joined by Thomas Kong — designer, creative director, and founder of Kongruent Works, a design & fabrication company specializing in hospitality through objects, signage, branding, and consulting.

Wesam and Thomas dive deep into the why behind branding, the power of radical hospitality, and what it means to build something truly meaningful from the ground up. As owner and investors of the brand-new House Roots Coffee in Northridge (right next to CSUN), Thomas shares the untold origin story — from the "why" convos to creating a space built on efficiency, quality, and genuine care for community.

They explore the difference between conviction vs. inspiration, the importance of good friendships in business, and what it takes to bring a vision to life — not just for aesthetics, but for impact. 

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, creative, or just figuring out your purpose — this one will hit home.

Before the show takes a short break while idobi moves to a new location, Wesam and Alex are joined by none other than their former producer Peyton — back in the studio and back to spilling secrets.

It’s a reunion full of laughs, chaos, and a few questionable revelations. They revisit the “good old days,” unpack Peyton’s many betrayals, discuss lovers, secrets, and very secret addictions, and somehow still manage to talk about movie and game trailers along the way.

It’s the perfect mix of friendship, storytelling, and total nonsense — the kind of episode that feels like hanging out with your favorite dysfunctional trio.

It’s just Wesam and Alex in the studio this week… with Tucker the pup stealing the spotlight as always. 🐾

Alex kicks off a brand-new segment called Trailer Trials, where she brings in movie trailers for Wesam to break down from an actor’s perspective—digging into whether they work, why they connect (or don’t), and what makes a trailer stand out.

Along the way, they dive into some of the week’s biggest industry stories. Wesam and Alex unpack the rumors about Sydney Sweeney possibly signing onto a $45 million Bollywood role, the speculation around Netflix looking to buy Warner Bros., and the growing conversation about reality TV after a Love Is Blind contestant filed a lawsuit over working conditions—a story that sends Wesam off on a rant about why “love” reality shows are terrible. And of course, no episode is complete without a pause to admire how ridiculously cute Tucker is.

Wesam is back with Episode 338 of Wesam’s World Podcast! This week, Alex puts Wesam’s AI detection skills to the test—and let’s just say… results were mixed.

From there, it’s a deep dive into one of their favorite topics: 1993, aka the greatest movie year of all time (don’t argue). The 90s knew how to do film right. They also dig into the importance of communication skills in the workplace, how people miss basic connection cues, and—because it's Wesam’s World—things eventually spiral into some bad rapping and off-key singing.

Insight, nostalgia, chaos. The usual.

  Wesam is back with Episode 336 of Wesam’s World Podcast, and this week… Rage Mode is ON. It’s just Wesam and Alex in the studio, and they’re letting it all out—starting with Wesam’s unhinged road rage stories, next a simple question “frozen or fresh?” that seemed to be the end of someone’s world, then shifting into things that drive them mad in the industry. Including one moment of absolute fury: a “remoteless” TV that only works if one person in the room has the app. He brought that rage straight to acting class. They also dive into some wild entertainment news, like the surprising rebrand efforts... Read more »

Wesam is back with Episode 335 of Wesam’s World Podcast! This week, it’s just Wesam and Alex—so naturally, things get chaotic in the best way.

Wesam shares some of the craziest pranks he pulled off as a teenager (brace yourself), and the conversation spirals from there: how the world is starting to feel like real-life Hunger Games, the rise of Main Character Syndrome, and why you need more “no” people in your life—not just yes-men—if you actually want to stay grounded and grow.

They also take a moment to mourn the slow, painful death of cable TV, and reflect on how entertainment has evolved (for better or worse).

Laughter, hot takes, and unfiltered honesty—classic Wesam’s World.

Wesam is back for Episode 334 of Wesam’s World Podcast! And this week… things get delightfully off the rails.

Wesam and Alex are in the studio, joining after years in the wilderness, Peyton finally makes his return. The trio dives into some truly unhinged topics: Wesam’s recent restaurant meltdown that had him spiraling, a heated debate about the appropriate punishment for crimes (one includes a bobcat and a cage), and the moment Alex said something so unexpectedly funny that Wesam couldn’t hold it together.

No outline. No filter. Just friendship, chaos, and way too much laughter—welcome back to Wesam’s World.
