Time is more valuable than money.

I remember a period a few years ago in my previous business when we had stabilized our revenue streams. The business model was working, the team of 45 people was running quite autonomously, and the processes were in place.

It wasn’t the most profitable period compared to others, but it was the time when I felt the most balanced and happy. The business required minimal involvement from me, and I truly felt that my time belonged to ME.

If I ask 10 people in Singapore what they lack most in life, 8 will say time. Time in general, and time for themselves in particular. Even simple things. A calm evening routine. Reading a book. Meditating. Standing under a warm shower not for 5 minutes, but for 20. Or even taking a bath. Unthinkable.

I know that most people are busy. Especially those who are successful in business and their careers.

So I decided to bring together a small group for a SHORT but super productive and fun retreat in Phuket. A getaway where they can spend time on themselves without disappearing for weeks from work, family, or business. I want it to be genuinely useful and interesting. We’ll do networking, but not the formal and boring exchange of business cards. Real connections. Real relationship building. And properly developing this skill.

On top of that, I’ve arranged for a billionaire to host our group at his incredible mansion. This is the kind of experience that doesn’t happen very often in life.

We’re planning to go on this networking retreat together in March. I’ll finalize the dates soon.

See you soon!

I explained my strategy for how I find guests for my interviews, including billionaires, celebrities, and politicians. Sorry for the long voice message, but I wanted to share my perspective on how I approach networking.

The best and most important conversations happen behind closed doors. That’s what I’ve realized after meeting hundreds of people for my interviews. I just published a short video about it on YouTube, but I’m adding it here as well.

Most important conversations, decisions, and deals never happen on camera.

They happen off the record. Behind closed doors. In small, trusted rooms.

After thousands of conversations with founders, investors, and people with real influence, this became very clear to me.

That’s why I’m creating The Backstage Circle. A small, private gathering in Phuket for high-level people who are building and growing, without noise, pitching, or performance.

Dubai + Will Smith. Very normal 😁
