Mo Fakhro comes from a Bahraini business family whose commercial history dates back to 1888, but his own ambition was never simply to inherit what already existed.
He wanted to build, create, and prove himself as an entrepreneur.

In this conversation, Mo talks openly about the less glamorous side of entrepreneurship, including business failures, cash-flow pressure, credit exposure, fixed costs, and why chasing revenue without protecting liquidity can destroy an otherwise successful company.

He also shares his perspective on China, his long-standing relationship with BYD, electric vehicles, robotics, artificial intelligence, and how rapidly advancing technology could reshape business and society.

Today, his focus is increasingly on technology, manufacturing, diversification, and expanding internationally into markets including India, China, and the United States.

Is Dubai’s real estate market moving from rapid cycles toward a more mature and stable phase?

In this episode, real estate analyst Charles Philion shares his perspective on the UAE property market, including upcoming housing supply, rental yields, mortgages, developer risk, liquidity, and the difference between Dubai’s prime and mass-market segments. Caption

Charles discusses why limited-supply villa communities such as Emirates Hills, Al Barari, and Palm Jumeirah behave differently from more investor-driven apartment markets. He also explains his concerns around future supply in areas including JVC, JLT, and Business Bay, while emphasizing that Dubai continues to outperform many mature markets on rental yields.

The conversation also covers greater mortgage accessibility, tenants becoming landlords, Abu Dhabi’s growing real estate market, commercial-property shortages, warehouse demand, construction costs, and why Charles believes greater stability would strengthen investor confidence over time.

What happens when you leave an established career behind and start again from zero in a new country?

In this episode, Nick shares his journey from studying to become a lawyer to switching into software engineering, research, entrepreneurship, and eventually moving to Dubai with his wife to rebuild their careers and businesses from the ground up.

He also explains the early startup that generated close to $1 million in device sales, the intellectual-property mistake that became one of his biggest business lessons, and why founders should protect their IP from day one.

Today, he is building Speak Up, an AI-powered platform designed to connect speakers and experts with event organizers, corporates, media, and governments. In the conversation, Nick says the platform gives access to more than 30,000 organizers and a database of over 150,000 speakers across 120 countries.

The episode also explores what makes a speaker bookable, why visibility matters, mistakes young entrepreneurs should make quickly, and why Dubai can be an attractive place to start again.
