Insights from Leaving Corporate to Build International The 67% Rule that's changing Dubai business I stumbled across an amazing data point last week. This is why I love entrepreneurship - it's like a never ending puzzle of data. While I have been heavily focused on helping people launch businesses in Dubai, a friend from Abu Dhabi reminded me about the huge market opportunity in real estate investment in Dubai. Of course, I talk about entrepreneurship quite a bit - but real estate investment...

Insights from Leaving Corporate to Build International The Importance of Clarity I've been doing too much. Podcast, ByteBao (my tech venture), coaching - I was spread thin trying to chase every opportunity. Sound familiar? Last week I had to stop and ask myself the hard question: What do I actually want to do? Who do I really want to help? Clarity beats action every time. Here's what I realized: I want to help people move to Dubai and start businesses. Why? Because I actually did it. I'm...

There’s one moment I’ll never forget. It was my first week at the law firm. I had just landed the role I thought I wanted — after years of studying, hustling, and positioning. But instead of feeling triumphant, I was crying in the parking lot after dropping my sons off at daycare. No one told me that going from mom to managing associate in the span of 30 minutes would feel like spiritual whiplash. No one told me that it wouldn’t get easier — just different. That was the beginning of a long...

I just released a new video — and it’s a personal one. It’s called:“What I Wish I Knew About Raising My Kids in Dubai.” It’s not a guide. It’s a story. A look at what it really means to make bold decisions in unfamiliar places — not just in business or Web3, but in real life. And that’s where this connects back to The Arbitrage Mindset. Because most people wouldn’t move to another country with their kids. Too many unknowns. Too many “what ifs.” Too much risk. But that’s exactly what we do...

Have you ever felt torn between chasing income and actually building wealth? When you move abroad, it’s easy to get caught in the cycle—new country, new expenses, new hustle. But eventually, you stop and wonder: Am I just working, or am I actually building something that lasts? Here’s the truth I’ve learned after living across three continents: Freedom abroad isn’t just about income. It’s about ownership. The Two Wealth Paths for Expats In my latest podcast episode, I sat down with expat...

Hi Reader, Fifteen years ago, I was climbing the ranks as a global legal executive — leading data privacy and compliance across Asia for billion-dollar companies. But something was missing. I was advising others on building powerful global businesses... but I hadn’t built my own. When I finally made the leap — moving to Dubai and founding ByteBao — I didn’t expect what came next. ✨ I found freedom in a place most people misunderstand. ✨ I discovered opportunity hiding behind bureaucracy. ✨ I...

Hi Reader I just had to reach out personally about the conversation I released today. Ever felt like your data is being used against you? Or wondered how the digital breadcrumbs you leave online might be limiting your opportunities without you even knowing it? My latest episode with Evin McMullen (co-founder of Privado ID) literally stopped me in my tracks. We titled it "HACKED SELF" because that's exactly what's happening to most of us right now. What hit me hardest was realizing how much...
