Embracing Cringe with Kareem Rahma

Kareem Rahma is a media executive, turned comedian and creator of popular TikTok series ‘Keep the Meter Running’, a inspired by his late father. We get into the importance of prioritizing fun, “embracing cringe,”and fostering community. Unsurprisingly, Kareem is funny as heck and through wit, laughter, profound cliches and radical honesty Kareem shares how he ended up with a career that allows him not to “work.” We chat about his early mid-life / late quarter- life crises when he had the inevitable moment of asking himself, what even is the point? And how that was a catalyst of making a dramatic change. We discuss ‘blue check culture’ (instagram reference), the strength in ‘not knowing’ and learning by doing, reverse mentorship from his Gen Z friends, main character syndrome, and so much more. If it isn’t obvious from our laughing fits, we had so much fun recording this podcast and hope you do too.
