Summary

On this episode Zahir and I discuss all things 3-on-3 basketball, training for the Olympics and dealing with its postponement. Zahir tells us how he maintains a “passion project” while also working in the corporate world and his appreciation towards his company for supporting his personal interests. We talk about the opinions and anxiety social media brings, and the reluctance to remain active online. We close with a discussion of Z's "ice cream wars" that took place on his Instagram stories.
