Here’s the thing most people see supercars…

But they never see the story behind them.

In this episode, we sit down with the man behind some of the most aggressive and unique cars in Dubai — from Rolls-Royce to Ferrari… and now even Bugatti.

But what makes this story different?

He didn’t come from money.
He came from nothing.

From growing up in a poor family in Spain… to building one of the most recognized car customization brands in the world — this is a story about obsession, risk, and vision.

Inside this episode:

How he started with zero
The moment everything changed
Building thousands of custom cars
Working with global celebrities
Why Dubai became his biggest market
And what it really takes to build something at this level

This isn’t just about cars.

It’s about building something that people feel.

Here’s the thing — most people see Dubai real estate from the outside.

Luxury… towers… big numbers.

But behind it, there’s a completely different game.

In this episode, we sit down with one of the fastest-growing real estate CEOs in Dubai breaking down what actually works, what doesn’t, and why most brokers never make it.

From building a team of hundreds of brokers, to scaling one of the most dominant real estate companies in the city… this conversation goes deeper than motivation.

It’s about:

• The real mindset behind success in Dubai
• Why “selling” is still the only skill that matters
• How top brokers actually win deals
• The truth about off-plan vs secondary market
• What most agents are doing wrong every day
• And how Dubai is different from every market in the world

This isn’t about experience.
It’s about performance.

If you’re in real estate or thinking about getting in this episode will change how you see the game.

The UAE real estate market is evolving, and a new opportunity is emerging that many investors are still overlooking.

In this episode, we sit down with a real estate developer who went from being a broker to launching one of the fastest-selling developments in Ras Al Khaimah. Phase one of the project sold out in just two hours, proving the massive demand for the right product in the right location.

The conversation explores the rapid transformation of Ras Al Khaimah, why global investors are paying attention, and how developments near the upcoming Wynn Resort are expected to reshape the entire emirate over the next decade.

But this discussion goes beyond real estate. It also dives into the mindset behind building successful projects, the importance of research before making big investment decisions, and how entrepreneurs can spot opportunities that others miss.

One of the key ideas shared is the concept of “beginner’s luck” in business. Sometimes the best opportunities are discovered by those who approach markets with fresh eyes rather than relying on past assumptions.

The episode also touches on a personal transformation story. From being overworked and unhealthy while chasing business success to discovering that true fulfillment requires balance between wealth, health, and mindset.

That shift in perspective even influenced how new developments are being designed, focusing on wellness, community, and lifestyle rather than simply building apartments.

Inside the project you’ll hear about:

• Beachfront living with sunset sea views
• Wellness focused amenities including a 10,000 sq ft gym
• Yoga and wellness facilities
• Private beach access
• Adults-only pools and social spaces
• Community areas designed to bring residents together

The goal is to create developments inspired by the world’s “Blue Zones” — places where people live the longest and healthiest lives.

If you are interested in real estate investing, entrepreneurship, mindset, or the future of UAE property markets, this episode provides valuable insights into where the next wave of growth could come from.

As mentioned in the discussion, many people are still sleeping on this opportunity while the foundations of a new destination are already being built.

What does it take to build a global tech company from Dubai?

Jad Antoun, the Founder and CEO of Huspy, joins Dubai Stars to share his incredible entrepreneurial journey.

Jad reveals the "global scale" mindset he learned in Silicon Valley during the rise of Uber and Airbnb, and how it inspired him to build something massive. He gets candid about his biggest fear: running out of cash, and shares a shocking story from Huspy's early days of growing 60% month-over-month while forgetting to send invoices.

In this episode, Jad breaks down Huspy's "incredibly simple" B2B model that is disrupting the traditional real estate industry. He explains how Huspy empowers agents with superior technology and infrastructure, allowing them to do zero admin work and focus on clients.

Is Dubai's real estate market all hype? Will AI replace 80% of real estate agents? Jad answers the tough questions and shares Huspy's "world domination" vision as they expand from 10 to over 30 cities, with Dubai as their global headquarters.
