The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
244. Khalfan Belhoul: How Dubai Is Becoming a Global Hub for Longevity and Human Performance

And someone started, you know, explained it to me.

244. Khalfan Belhoul: How Dubai Is Becoming a Global Hub for Longevity and Human Performance

My partner, Shehram Hardalan, explained it to me.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
244. Khalfan Belhoul: How Dubai Is Becoming a Global Hub for Longevity and Human Performance

And I started to go down the rabbit hole.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
244. Khalfan Belhoul: How Dubai Is Becoming a Global Hub for Longevity and Human Performance

I saw it the other night, an original vision board that I think it was His Highness Sheikh Hamdan did.

And it looked like the old circles with this going here and another circle and another circle.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
244. Khalfan Belhoul: How Dubai Is Becoming a Global Hub for Longevity and Human Performance

And from this original vision of saying,

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
244. Khalfan Belhoul: How Dubai Is Becoming a Global Hub for Longevity and Human Performance

what if we just took 30 days and everybody did 30 minutes of exercise every day for 30, 30.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
244. Khalfan Belhoul: How Dubai Is Becoming a Global Hub for Longevity and Human Performance

So this 30, 30 challenge under this Dubai 33 initiative.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
244. Khalfan Belhoul: How Dubai Is Becoming a Global Hub for Longevity and Human Performance

And the whole city just got active and started moving for 30 days.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
244. Khalfan Belhoul: How Dubai Is Becoming a Global Hub for Longevity and Human Performance

In theory, that sounds amazing.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
244. Khalfan Belhoul: How Dubai Is Becoming a Global Hub for Longevity and Human Performance

In practicality, it's something completely different.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
244. Khalfan Belhoul: How Dubai Is Becoming a Global Hub for Longevity and Human Performance

But I've been at these activations every day and the entire city is participating.

The Kite Beach activation is 35,000 people a day coming through, kids and families.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
244. Khalfan Belhoul: How Dubai Is Becoming a Global Hub for Longevity and Human Performance

And that's, again, what I find so fascinating about Dubai.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
244. Khalfan Belhoul: How Dubai Is Becoming a Global Hub for Longevity and Human Performance

You have the dreamers and you have the curiosity and you have this vision at the top, but somehow it gets executed by the ministries and it permeates down into the culture.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
244. Khalfan Belhoul: How Dubai Is Becoming a Global Hub for Longevity and Human Performance

And I just find this a really great metaphor for business, for entrepreneurship, not even just if you're running a country.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
244. Khalfan Belhoul: How Dubai Is Becoming a Global Hub for Longevity and Human Performance

So can we talk about education for a minute?

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
244. Khalfan Belhoul: How Dubai Is Becoming a Global Hub for Longevity and Human Performance

Of course.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
244. Khalfan Belhoul: How Dubai Is Becoming a Global Hub for Longevity and Human Performance

So the educational system here, how are you getting...

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
244. Khalfan Belhoul: How Dubai Is Becoming a Global Hub for Longevity and Human Performance

children that are being educated in Dubai to want to stay here in this region and make a contribution rather than to seek employment and education elsewhere.
