I’ve built businesses in the UK, paid millions in tax, employed big teams… and now I’m walking away from it all.

Why? Because the UK has become (in my words) “a car crash” for entrepreneurs.

This conversation with Calum White (CEO of White & Co.) is raw, unfiltered, and brutally honest. We break down why I’m quitting UK business to start over in Dubai real estate — and why I believe I’ll never leave Dubai for the rest of my life.

We cover everything no one tells you about:

⚡ How much tax I’ve really paid (and what that same money would look like in Dubai)

⚡ Why opportunity in the UK feels blocked, while Dubai pushes you forward

⚡ The crazy truth about commission-only real estate

⚡ What White & Co. really feels like from the inside (spoiler: I called it “the Real Madrid of brokers”)

⚡ My biggest fear starting out (and why the only way I fail is if I quit)

⚡ How to survive year one in Dubai real estate (and the numbers you should actually aim for)

⚡ What it takes to go from new broker → associate director → top 1% performer

⚡ Why the Dubai market isn’t crashing (and what everyone gets wrong)

⚡ The exact traits that separate winners from failures

This isn’t about sugar-coating. It’s about the real trade-offs: freedom vs safety, UK vs Dubai, salary vs commission, excuses vs discipline.

If you’ve ever thought about moving to Dubai, starting in real estate, or just breaking free from the system that keeps you small — this is the conversation you need to hear.
