I've been coming to Dubai for about five years with my family.
And what I've seen in terms of growth, infrastructure, the caliber of the hotels, the food, the decorum of the people over the last five years has been like a magnet for me and my family.
And I've noticed that when you layer in things like infrastructure, transportation and safety, being one of the safest regions in the world,
You know, sadly, there are cities in America my wife can't walk down the street, you know, after nine o'clock by herself.
But when we come here, you feel the decorum of the people.
You feel the acceleration of the people and the technology and the infrastructure and the buildings.
And after I searched the world, looking for the best location to put a wellness and longevity clinic, we settled on Dubai, we chose Dubai.
And I think it's a really unique opportunity to sit down with you because you're at the epicenter of
this acceleration in growth.
So I'd love to know from you what it means to you to truly build a city that's 10 years ahead of the world.
You know, I think this is intentional because I read a book called The Sheikh CEO by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed.
And I found it really fascinating.
And by the way, this is a must read book.
If you are an entrepreneur, if you're running a company,
or if you're running a country, because the lessons that I took from that book were very practical.
And one of them I'll never forget was in 2015, he started these initiatives and he created these different departments and every quarter the departments were supposed to report.
And he was frustrated because some of the departments weren't turning in these reports.
Some of them wouldn't do them at all.
Some of them wouldn't take them very seriously.
And he had a very simple red light, yellow light, green light approach.
