“Are you trying to generate momentum or trying to deal with the drag of bringing everyone along? Momentum is the thing that aligns [the whole company]. You should be waking up every day just working on momentum. People will catch up” – @ssankar , CTO of @PalantirTech

The CEO of Rao's asked his daughter where she wanted to go for her birthday. She picked Carbone. "It's the place for my generation." Five years later, he turned that insight into a $100M sauce brand with @CarboneFineFood . My latest @Forbes interview - https://t.co/fPgbp1rWVf

Didn’t know what to expect from @1billionsummit in Dubai.
It was the perfect intersection: marketing’s future, startup entrepreneurship, and economic development. The creator economy isn’t what I thought. These aren’t just influencers—they’re founders. - https://t.co/GgoYFIZ8HI

I’ve done the conference circuit: CES, SXSW, you name it. But @1billionsummit in Dubai was unlike anything other “business” conference. 1,000+ creators with billions of followers. The collision of media, AI, and commerce.

Economic development loves metrics.
Jobs created. Capital deployed. Tax revenue. But Dubai asks a different question: “Are founders happy?” That’s why they’re winning.
