Hello, my name is Omar Kasim

 

  I am a 23 year old Tulsa native currently living in beautiful Northwest Arkansas.  Entrepreneurship has given me the opportunity to create, travel, and meet passionate people. In my free time, I am an adrenaline junkie, runner, and indulge in nature's beauty. This blog serves to capture the authentic moments and conversations between dreamchasers, visionaries, and the slightly delusional.

  My goal is to inspire you, the reader, to explore new places, push boundaries, and most of all pursue your dreams. Feel free to leave a comment, follow me on social media, or contact me to share ideas.

My Story

  During college I was faced with a decision that every college student must make: what to do with the rest of my life. I was graduating a year early, was a candidate for Magna Cum Laude, and had a resume that was attractive to potential employers. I had my mind set on attending law school at the University of Texas at Austin, the school of my dreams that I did not for undergrad due to the cost and distance from home. The pathway to success was very linear; go to a great law school, work for a firm, become a partner, enjoy life. My final year of college consisted of me studying for the LSAT and working on my honors thesis, which was a business plan for a fast-casual restaurant. That project would later become Con Quesos LLC, my first business venture.

Purpose and a sense of accomplishment yields happiness--money is just a byproduct

  The ability to create, innovate, and dream is what I believe caused me to steer towards a life of uncertainty and chaos as opposed to a more consistent profession like law. The result of that decision has paid its dividends. In less than a year of business, Con Quesos earned accolades from various local publications and has allowed me to speak to students in grade school to graduate school about my story. If you would like to read more about the journey from school project to startup click here

  Throughout this blog, you will get a glimpse of some of the various projects I am currently working on. Everything that I do is passion-driven, inspired by a personal experience, and is done with the purpose of building something great. What motivates me is purpose and accomplishment. I truly believe that a sense of purpose and accomplishment is what creates happiness--money is just a byproduct.
