(Please remember there is no intention to give investment advice)

In this episode, we sit down for our second conversation with Saif, a leading Dubai property advisor, who takes us step-by-step through the Emirate’s real-estate landscape -from off-plan mechanics and escrow safeguards to the true costs of entry (think ~£204K for a one-bed plus 20% deposit and 4% DLD fee).

This episode addresses the question a first time buyer, or potential private homeowner in the UAE, will ask - and then moves onto the property investor questions and answers.

He’ll walk us through where you can do holiday lets (spoiler: it’s 95% of the market), unpack why Dubai’s yields routinely outshine London, Tokyo, or New York, and show how a data-driven mindset keeps you away from hype-fueled pitfalls.

Saif also highlights Dubai’s landlord-tenant framework—one that strikes an even balance and genuinely supports property owners—contrasting it with the UK’s more tenant-favoring system. He shares why this fairness makes Dubai such an attractive market for buy-to-let investors.

We’ll also explore game-changing projects like Marjan Island (with its soon-to-open Wynn casino) and the eco-forward Siniya development, and discover how a 750K AED ( at the time of publishing this is around £154,000) investment can even unlock a two-year residency visa. Tune in for all the inside intel—what’s hot, what to avoid, and exactly why Dubai remains one of the world’s most compelling property plays.

We love to say we “overdeliver” in business - but do we really?

Just back from a recent trip to the UAE, I’m reflecting on what true service and intentional excellence look like. From seamless customer experiences to how the government supports both people and industries, this episode is about the powerful (and often underappreciated) lessons we can learn from the UAE.

Here’s what I explore:

• The real meaning of world-class service
• How safety, cleanliness, and calm are built into daily life
• The truth about cost of living in Dubai
• Business potential and opportunities for entrepreneurs
• The unmatched feeling of being genuinely taken care of

This episode is part travel reflection, part business mindset shift - and 100% from the heart.

🎧 Tune in to hear why the UAE keeps raising the bar — and how we can bring a little of that excellence into our own businesses. We have so much to learn from this relatively new country and how they have achieved excellence in such a short time

This week on the podcast, I’m joined by Rebacca who’s been building businesses and shaking up leadership culture since the late 90s – and she shows no sign of slowing down.

Rebecca Bonnington is the CEO and founder of Tricres, she is a successful leadership coach, corporate trainer, and yes – also a mum. She brings energy, humour, and a refreshingly direct approach to everything she does – all with a huge dose of compassion and kindness that sits right alongside her no-nonsense style.

Based out of Manchester – a city that knows how to speak its mind – Rebecca’s got that trademark edge. She's passionate about building kick-a** cultures, leading real change, and training others to coach, with confidence, through her signature Tricres methodology.

She’s taken the stage at major events across the UK, hosted awards, and written books like How to Outshine the Rest – with another one on the way.

Particularly impressive is how she makes her work accessible with many different entry levels from her books to her full and detailed courses. If you want access to Rebecca's knowledge and skills, well, no one is left behind.

And if you want a conversation that’s grounded, energising, and cuts straight to the heart of what matters in leadership and business – this one’s for you.

Let’s get into it.

“On today’s episode, I’m joined by Ann-Sofie Hermansson, the founder of Smart In The Dark, all the way from Sweden.

Back in 2011, Ann-Sofie had a simple but brilliant idea—why should anyone have to choose between being seen and looking good? She was fed up with ugly, clunky reflectors, and decided to do something about it. Fast forward to today, and Smart In The Dark creates stylish reflective accessories that people are proud to wear—whether it’s to work, a party, or out for a walk.

In this conversation, Ann-Sofie shares her journey—how she took an idea and turned it into a thriving business. She talks honestly about the challenges, what she’s learned, and gives some really practical advice for anyone running their own business.

One of the things I found fascinating was how she’s navigated running a business in Sweden—where it’s dark for months in the winter (perfect for reflectors)… but then it’s bright for months in the summer. She came up with a clever way to keep business thriving all year round.

I did so enjoy this conversation because Ann-Sofie keeps it real. No jargon, no hype—just a genuine story about spotting a gap in the market and having the courage to go for it.

If you’re looking for inspiration, or just want to hear how a simple idea can light up the dark (literally!), this one’s for you.

No waffle, no long intro—let’s get straight into it.

I'm so impressed by what Ann-Sofie has done as a business woman and also to help safety included here is this extra information below to help you understand and find her products
