Wayne and Dave share their transformative experience attending a US Department of Commerce certified trade mission to Dubai, revealing how it expanded their global perspective and business horizons.

• Flying Emirates Airlines provided our first glimpse into the UAE's commitment to luxury, quality, and exceptional experiences
• Dubai's skyline of endless skyscrapers makes even New York City seem modest by comparison
• The entire metropolis was built from virtually nothing in just 50 years (since 1971)
• Meeting with family offices revealed tremendous enthusiasm for investing in US energy and infrastructure projects
• The Burj Khalifa (2,700+ feet tall) offered spectacular 360° views showcasing Dubai's massive scale
• Emiratis replace "handicap" signs with "People of Determination" - a profound linguistic shift that elevates rather than diminishes
• President Trump secured over $2 trillion in deals with Middle Eastern nations shortly after our visit
• DAMAC Properties stands out as a family-run developer responsible for much of Dubai's iconic architecture
• DAMAC recently committed $20 billion to US digital infrastructure investments
• Digital infrastructure represents the new frontier for development - more capital intensive than traditional real estate
• The determination and future-focused mentality of Emiratis provides valuable lessons for American development

We hope you'll join us for our next episode as we continue exploring opportunities to bridge these worlds and create meaningful partnerships between the UAE and communities here in the US.
