@jappleby Welcome to Dubai! Been here for circa 30 years. Will be very happy to meet up, have some drinks & even to show you around the old & the new. Happy to chat on DM
@JasonStarr@MikeGelb@ConsumerVenture@JasonStarr I love the ‘venture in stage, private equity in style’ … We’ve just formed an investment ‘entity’ in Dubai called Homegrown CPG to do exactly this and been struggling with how to ‘label’ it
@MikeGelb Great take! This is exactly what we have been modeling for Homegrown CPG (just formed in Dubai to do exactly this style of investing in the Middle East). Would love to chat & share more :)
I support the Mensarius Oath for ethical investing. We need to support companies that add value & better our lives.

Ninety-nine percent of people in the world are convinced they are incapable of achieving great things, so they aim for the mediocre. The level of competition is thus fiercest for “realistic” goals, paradoxically making them the most time- and energy-consuming.
If you are insecure, guess what? The rest of the world is, too.
Do not overestimate the competition and underestimate yourself. You are better than you think.
Unreasonable and unrealistic goals are easier to achieve for yet another reason.
Having an unusually large goal is an adrenaline infusion that provides the endurance to overcome the inevitable trials and tribulations that go along with any goal. Realistic goals, goals restricted to the average ambition level, are uninspiring and will only fuel you through the first or second problem, at which point you throw in the towel.
If the potential payoff is mediocre or average, so is your effort.
The fishing is best where the fewest go, and the collective insecurity of the world makes it easy for people to hit home runs while everyone else is aiming for base hits. There is just less competition for bigger goals.
