Emirati Author, Speaker & Futurist Omar Al Busaidy

Emirati Author, Speaker & Futurist Omar Al Busaidy

Omar Al Busaidy is an entrepreneur, author, motivational speaker and a futurist. He is an interesting Emirati, who has to-date worn many hats.

Omar has been divorced, fired twice, demoted and stabbed. Quite frankly I’m not sure which would have hurt him the most, but you’ll find out.

It was Mark Twain who said that the two most important days of your life, the day you are born, and the day you find out why? And that my friends, was what Omar Al Busaidy has been pursuing from early on.

Omar Al Busaidy is the author of the book ‘Just Read It’.

He has another in the works titled ‘Why jobs are for robots and life is for people’.

Omar Al Busaidy is the proud recipient of the Fulbright scholarship for his Master’s in International Affairs and Intelligence.

Omar sees himself as an ambassador for his family, religion and country. But first and foremost, he sees himself as an ambassador for good values.

Omar Al Busaidy has found his Why.

I hope this conversation gives you the insights and inspiration to find yours.

Loai Al Fakir is a friend whom I’ve known from the early days of his real business, to what would become today, a dominating player in the Dubai Real Estate Market- Provident. With Loai Al Fakir, the accolades don’t stop. Because he doesn’t stop.

Gary Vee, may have made the word hustle popular, but when I think of hustle, I think of Loai.

Grant Cardone, may have made the term, 10X popular, but when I think of 10x, I think of Loai.

I deliver keynote speeches around the world to leading companies teaching their people to think different. And when I think of someone who “thinks different”, I think of Loai.

Loai Al Fakir hustles. He plays 10X big.

He thinks different. He does different.

Which is why, ultimately, he is different.

Loai is a guy who has a never say die attitude.

A guy who is determined and driven.

A guy who rises in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy to world.

For someone who is torn between these two worlds, he is doing darn well.

Loai Al Fakir has consulted many developers in creating, designing and selling real estate.

He is the owner of Premier Mortgages, partner in Prime Stay Holiday Homes, and the CEO/Founder of Provident Estate.

Anyone in Dubai Real Estate, has either worked with, for, or at the very least, knows the man that is, Loai Al Fakir.

3 x Cancer Survivor & Style Coach- Yasmin Yousri

3 x Cancer Survivor & Style Coach- Yasmin Yousri

When I think of courage and being brave, I think of my friend, Dubai's Style Coach & Art Director Yasmin Yousri (ياسمين يسري).  A lady who is a three-time cancer survivor. If you, or someone you know is having a rough day, you should make the time to watch this episode.

Yasmin Yousri is a reminder that all of us are living on borrowed time.

We don’t own anything.

We are renting.

This place.

This space.

This race. It can all be taken away from us, at any given moment.

No matter how aware we might think we might be.

You and I, In fact, we are all guilty of taking our lives for granted.

Guilty of it. I am. Every day.

Because the fundamental truth is that on any given day, it could very well be our last.

Yasmin moved to Dubai, seeking a new challenge, away from the corporate world.

Today, she’s a stylist.

A lifestyle blogger

A style coach

An Art Director

Motivational Speaker

And a Presenter of the TV show - The influencers challenge

They call her an Influencer.

They call her a fashion guru

They call her bullet proof.

But she’s more than that.

She’s a fighter.

She’s a survivor.

A three-time Cancer survivor

I’m inspired by her attitude, courage and outlook on life.

I have no doubt, you will be too.

This is, How Do They Do It?

I’m Kevin Abdulrahman

My guest today is Yasmin Yousri.


Ps. This was Yasmin Yousri’s first English YouTube interview, though I much prefer to call it a chat between two friends.

Moe Money is a Dubai-based luxury vlogger, content creator and social media influencer. Beyond the celebrity persona is Moe Jabry, a guy whom I have known for a few years.

Moe Jabry grew up in Houton Texas.

He started working at a gas station when he was 9 years of age.

He then worked in a shoe store, an insurance company and at the lasagna house in his teenage years.

On any given occasion, he held down three jobs, and has always found a way to hustle.

Because he wants to make a mark for himself.

Today he is affectionately known as Moe Money.

A Dubai based social media influencer and content creator.

Scroll through his posts and you see him living the luxury Dubai life.

Playing with elephants and tigers.

Dining at the hippest restaurants

Rolling in a Rolls-Royce Lamborghini or Ferrari are the perks of the jobs.

Moe Money also has a network of influencers, celebrities, billionaires and royalty on speed dial.

We have him here today not to talk about the bling-bling of Dubai.

We have him here today first and foremost, because he is one of the guys I thought of when I was thinking of skill of “Likeability”.

We chat with Moe Money about likeability and a whole lot more.

This is How Do They Do It?

I’m Kevin Abdulrahman.

Maya Al Hawary and I discuss many topics, like depression, parenthood, Emotional intelligence and leadership.

We also tackle questions you might be all too familiar with.

Who am I?

Why am I on this earth?

What’s my purpose?

Maya Al Hawary is an inspirational woman who has had to learn to cope with one of her children being disabled, or as we like to call them in Dubai, people of determination.

Maya Al Hawary had to deal with the stigma associated with being depressed.

There was a time when she felt like she was drowning, until she made the decision to grab the bull by the horn.

Her frustrations, led her to seek answers.

Answers that helped set new goals.

Answers that has helped her grow.

Answers that today she shares to inspire others.

She started off being fearful to today becoming a fearless Emirati Leader.

Dubai Entrepreneur & Start-up Investor Loulou Khazen Baz

Dubai Entrepreneur & Start-up Investor Loulou Khazen Baz

Loulou Khazen Baz is the founder of Nabbesh.com, the region’s first and still the largest online marketplace that helpslocal businesses find, hire and pay freelance experts. From a pool of 2000 startups, she won a million dirhams for her start up on the Dubai Tv show The Entrepreneur. Through angels and VCs for her Seed funding in 2013, and then her Series A funding in 2015, my guest went on to raise AED 7M for her start up.

Loulou Khazen Baz is also a mentor and investor.

She is the founder Kickstart Ventures, an angel network that enables entrepreneurs early on, where it matters.

She is also a podcast host of her show Conversation With Loulou.

In a world where many, including myself tell you the importance of working on your passion.

I brought you a guest today who will tell you that it’s not about passion,

It’s about consistency

It’s about resilience.

It’s about repetition

It’s all the boring stuff.

Success is hard work.

Something my guest isn’t afraid

To work hard.

To try new things

And to burn all the boats, and go all in, and find a way to make things work.

This is How Do They Do It?

Im Kevin Abdulrahman.

My guest today is Loulou Khazen Baz

His Excellency Marwan Al Sarkal - Executive Chairman Of Sharjah Investment Development Authority

His Excellency Marwan Al Sarkal - Executive Chairman Of Sharjah Investment Development Authority

If the Sharjah Investment Development Authority is, and it is, the driving force that is transforming Sharjah as a key investment, tourism, cultural and business destination.

Then my guest is the driving force, behind the driving force.

My guest is one of the key leaders in contributing to Sharjah’s economic development growth.

From 2009-2018, as the CEO, he led the Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq). An entity created to invest in infrastructure projects, to modernize and develop existing ones, creating magnificent projects and exciting events throughout Sharjah.

As their CEO, my guest oversaw many significant projects such as the Al Majaz waterfront, Al Noor Ssland, The Heart of Sharjah, Kalba Eco-tourism and joint ventures with Eagle Hills and Sustainable city.

Today, he is the Executive Chairman of the Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq).

My guest leads a team of over 400 people.

Working on projects totaling over 8 Billion Dirhams across a range of sectors that include, health care, tourism, mobility, logistics and many more.

My guest is highly regarded and well known, locally, regionally and globally.

He has received numerous awards, like the Middle East CEO of the Year.

But, he is not the kind of man who is driven by recognition.

From what I know and what we have all seen of him.

My guest is driven by his purpose and love for the Emirate of Sharjah, and also the United Arab Emirates.

We are at his office, in Sharjah, at the Beautiful Al Qasba.

Olympian & Professional Athlete Sarra Lajnef

Olympian & Professional Athlete Sarra Lajnef

My next guest is brains, beauty and a beast wrapped into one.

She should have you reframing your mindset in the sense of what you can actually achieve, if you set your mind to it.

My guest leaves her home at the tender age of 15.

She studies in France for her baccalaureate, graduates with honors, and is then then recruited by the University of Florida and swims for Florida for four years.

She graduates with a degree in political sciences and an under grad certificate in international relations - with the highest distinction- Summa Cum Lade.

She then graduates with a master of business from the University of Wollongong in Dubai.

Brains aside, she’s also a beast.

She’s an Olympic swimmer, the first Tunisian female swimmer to qualify for the Olympics.

She’s a 2015 and 2019 Master Swimming World Champion.

1 Gold / 3 silver & 4 Golds / 1 Bronze respectively.

She then picks up rowing, and within two years becomes the national champ in both Tunisia and the United Arab Emirates.

And now, it’s the triathlon.

Are you kidding me?

My guest is the kind of person who chooses to continuously and consciously redefine herself.

This young lady is absolutely inspiring.

This is How Do They Do It?

I’m Kevin Abdulrahman.

My guest today is Sarra Lajnef.

My guest has shared the stage with, wait, who hasn’t he shared the stage with?

Every time I open my instagram and see my guest’s feed, I get to see every celebrity I know.

The likes of Akon, Chris Brown, Mariah Carey, Hussain Al Jassmi, Beyoncé, Kanye West, Wiz Khalifa, Christian Louboutin, Paris Hilton, Nikki Minaj, Drake, Jamiroquai, Aerosmith, Kings of Leon, Omarion, Soulja Boy. Fat Joe, French Montana.

Music might be the source of inspiration and the way my guest has established his difference, but he is so much more.

DJ Bliss is the owner of Bliss inc.

He is the owner of beats and cuts. Barbershop visited by celebs.

The Founder of 411 nights.

And the founder of selekt- a talent agency.

He is a content creator.

A social media influencer.

And an ambassador to many brands.

He’s the boy you’ve seen on TV.

The boy you’ve heard on the radio.

The boy you’ve seen at some of Dubai’s hottest clubs.

The artist. The entertainer. The performer, pioneer and pinnacle figure for music in the UAE.

The brand, the icon & household name in Dubai.

This is How Do They Do It?

I’m Kevin Abdulrahman.
