"Your time is more valuable than money" -Karem Bouhafs

Welcome to The Sleepless Sessions, and for returning listeners, welcome back! On this podcast we explore the lives of those pursuing their passions, dreams, and unconventional lifestyles.

On Episode 5 I have a conversation with my good friend Karem! I've known Karem since the fall of 2019 and he has since built a brand with the name 'Fresh Raver' after a viral video at Lost Lands Music Festival helped pave the way to putting deodorant on many djs, and being featured on Tosh.O. He runs aroma infused events under the name 'The Fresh Rave'.

On this episode we talk about the origin story of The Fresh Raver, his events, branding, festivals, parenting, creating an impact, and much more! To learn more, follow the links below!
