Nights out in a city that never sleeps anyway 🌒

Life is a process of creating clarity from clutter.

Your decisions design your life.

In I saw individuals with a variety of experiences coming together to change the blockchain industry.

Observation, curiosity, creation, impact, purpose.

From MetaWeek 2022. Real products, real users, and something real for once!

Have you ever thought about this?

Dubai is a perfect example of something built out of nothing - and it proves that if you can picture something in your head and you build towards it, you can get it.

Give more credit to your vision. Let your imagination flow. Stop being pushed back by limiting thoughts. That’s part of every successful person’s journey.

Listen to your audience.

Bali Bliss!

to 2017 when I was flying 🪂 over great seas and cool cliffs for 4 hours EVERYDAY!

I kept wondering what it meant to be lost in the desert (life)...

All alone at night (unpredictable future) guided by the moon and the stars (opinions and hopes)…

We face the heat (problems). We are alone (amid everyone around us), we get scorched (stressed) and we seek water (a break) which does not last till the finish line (our goals).

We go in all directions (new ideas or paths) trying to find a way to the nearest oasis or village (legacy or destination). Just walking in one direction (one goal) based on the sun (a plan) can take to the edge if we survive long enough (persistence).

The meaning of life is an interpretation of our perception of existence.

Welcome to my rebrand!

Driving engagement is the primary lifecycle challenge and this must be the primary focus of marketing efforts.

More and more traditional artists exploring digital representation of their art. With sensory stimulating experiences emerging, can't wait to see the future of VR/AR art becoming an everyday scene.

All marketing efforts should focus on driving engagement, and listening to your audience is the first step.

One of my favorite things about Dubai is the opportunities to network and the events I get invited to.

Sharing ideas, communicating and learning about other people's perspectives is what helps humans move faster.

I know it may be hard to find people who share the same interests and values as you, but I can promise you one of the best business investments you can make is to surround yourself with people you respect and admire.

Thank you DIFC FinTech Week for inviting me!

Dubai Future Museum is one of the most thoughtful places I've been to.

From the futuristic ideas to the products currently available, everything was structured in an experiential way that made you feel like you were living in the future!

Countries that grow faster are the ones that:

✔️ Inspire with an example
✔️Incubate ideas & provide a safe space for growth
✔️Nurture healthy competition
✔️Resourceful
✔️Appreciate diversity

Dubai is one such beautiful country that ticks every one of those boxes.

Dubai FinTech Hive is a place where I witnessed companies starting in shared office spaces and growing to very large companies all within this amazing incubator.

What more can be a sign of a successful incubator and an inspiring country?

During hard times, focus on earning rather than saving.

Earning is harder than saving in the short term, but ➡️ + cumulative returns

When things go bad, it's time to put more work in. 🏋🏽‍♀️

Relentlessly. Build, Expand, Develop, Prepare for the Dawn.

This is the time we can run faster than the competitors who have a weaker heart.

This is the time we can gain for free.

Time to mine-time.

Time to look

If it can't survive , it ain't worth investing in 😶

The valuation of a technology can move up and down *wildly*. Why? It's connected to human emotion and perception.
The true value of a technology seats on its utility. Blockchain Adoption is what can assure the stability of the price or promise positive growth of the value of cryptocurrencies.

What is it that you have control over? What is it that you can focus on when everything around you seems to be uncertain? That's right, it's you. When you're feeling lost or unhopeful, focus on yourself and your efforts. There's no benefit in stressing about things we can't change.

There's a war we all know about.
And then there's an economic war. A war of currencies against alternative assets, and against your sanity. A war to liquidate funds. A media war thirsty for your attention.
Want to defend 🥊 yourself? The best defense is offense.
Channel your energy to create. Forge a new path and manifest it into reality with hard work - something you can be proud about.

Move

Stop looking at the charts and prices. It will steal your energy. Focus on your roadmap and build. Conserve Energy. Move

My time is more valuable in the 🐻 bear market than in the 🐂 bull market. During the bull, it's about profitability for brands, but now it's about survival.

Great meeting and talking to 👋🏽

Why ? It's the future. It’s solid tech. It’s limited supply. It’s LIQUID. While it can be manipulated, it's still a solid technology to depend on. Period.
