“The fortune is in the follow-up.” That was the game-changing advice Tracey Currell shared with me during our initial Zoom call in late 2022. As I became a member of Introbiz UK from Dubai, Tracey’s approach to networking resonated deeply—it’s about genuinely helping others, not just swapping business cards.
Contrast this with the frenzied exchange at typical networking events, which can feel more like a scramble than meaningful interaction. That’s why I’m thrilled to announce that Tracey will share her insights on authentic networking at our Sophiall Profit and Dine Workshop and Cigar Experience Mastermind on April 24th.

Ever heard the story of Sisyphus, endlessly pushing his boulder uphill? Imagine meeting his modern counterpart—a hardworking architect in Dubai juggling offices and mired in micromanagement, sacrificing his personal life to watch every keystroke of his team.
Discover how a simple conversation revealed the real boulder he was pushing: the inability to trust and delegate. Learn why mastering these skills can transform relentless toil into effective leadership and free up precious time.

Throwback to my high school football days in 1987—when our team was struggling with just one win for the season, my teammates and I turned our frustration into creativity by filming parody sketches of our coaches’ pep talks.
I played our head coach, blending historical figures and sports icons into ludicrously motivational speeches—like channeling Bismarck’s “blood and iron” alongside OJ Simpson’s agility and a throwaway comment where I say OJ Simpson is a “Murderer” (7 years before his infamous trial).
This fun reminiscence highlights how easy it is to misconstrue one-off predictions as expertise. Today, we see many claim prophetic insights after one lucky guess. In reality, sustainable success in business, like in sports, requires consistent strategy and execution, not just luck.

Remember the dot-com craze of the late ’90s? Well, history’s repeating itself with the .ai domain rush. Anguilla, a small territory, is set to boost its GDP by 10% or $30M, thanks to owning the .ai suffix.
Companies are scrambling to get a piece of the AI pie, but here’s the catch: simply adding .ai to your brand doesn’t elevate your customer experience or the value you deliver. It’s like putting lipstick on a pig.
