If You Want Recognition, Get a Dog.

Big shifts don’t happen by chasing approval. If you're waiting for applause, you're already too late.

The best ideas—the ones that change industries, rewrite rules, and define new categories—are misunderstood, dismissed, or even mocked at first. The people who truly shape the future aren’t optimizing for short-term validation; they’re making asymmetric bets that seem obvious only in hindsight.

By the time the world catches on, the real work is already done. The market rewards those who execute, not those who seek permission.

Don’t work for recognition—you’ll never get it when it matters. Work for impact.

What’s a bet you’re making today that no one sees yet?

The Moment That Changed Everything

In 2004, Burj Khalifa was just a construction site in the desert. No one knew it would become the world’s tallest building. No one knew it would change Dubai forever.

I think a lot about moments like that—when you take a big bet on something unproven and commit fully.

For me, that was being early in ridesharing, cloud kitchens, and now, the World project. Each time, the space was just getting started. The path wasn’t clear. But those are the moments that shape everything.

Big shifts don’t happen overnight. They take vision, speed, and conviction.
