Dominic has a truly fascinating story and shares all in this episode of The DubaiLife Podcast! Dominic was an entrepreneur from the get-go, as a kid, he would post flyers to get jobs cleaning neighbors' cars in his home city of Leeds, UK. It was clear that school wasn't his bag and after completing a finance qualification at college Dominic found his self-selling flooring via eBay. With a strong desire to learn and move the business forward Dominic had incredible success with this business and in a short space of time opened up call centers and even physical retail stores. To escape the mayhem of the call center business environment Dominic would often take himself off to Dubai alone. It was during one of these trips that he just realized that Dubai had to be his future.  He decided to sell the business and make the move and in the space of just a few weeks here he was.  Dominic talks about many business opportunities that presented themselves to him during his early days in Dubai, one of them being baby milk power. In the end, Dominic realized that the drive behind his next venture had to be more than money, he realized that in order to succeed he needed to A) really enjoy what he was doing and B) impact the lives of others in a positive way! Wallah The Giving Movement was born. A year in of planning later and the company launch during COVID-19.   The Giving Movement company uses only 100% recycled materials (mainly plastic bottles and bamboo) to disrupt the broken ways of the fashion industry! They create deeply meaningful apparel that is sustainable, made ethically in the UAE and has a positive impact through donating $4 from every item purchased to charity. $4 is enough to provide food, daily shelter, and education for a full week for one child in need. Meaning each time you purchase an item, you can change one person’s life for the better.

Paul Evans

Paul Evans, we salute you! What a great time we had on this episode of The DubaiLife Podcast! Paul's story has the makings of a Hollywood blockbuster for sure! It is a tremendous story of incredible highs and at times unfathomable lows! But he's here now and has put his stamp on "DubaiLife" with brands such as Asia Aisa, Q43, Wavehouse, Karma Cafe, Lock Stock &amp; Barrel and STK Downtown!  From early setbacks with dyslexia and bullying to finding big success in the fast-paced GE Sales arena! Paul set off for Egypt and hit the party life hard. All of this was shortlived as after 18 months of non-stop partying he found himself with acute pancreatitis and in a coma for 77 days. The story surrounding his illness and the coma is a podcast episode in itself! The real change in Paul's life was when he woke up from this coma. This was the inspiration behind the name of his record selling book "When I Woke Up"  After a long recovery, Paul went back to Egypt and grew his business. His company transforming the Egyptian nightlife scene until another set back came in the form of the Arab Spring and the Egyptian Revolution.  It was at this point that Paul with a young family ended up in Dubai and the rest is history!  We strongly recommend that you read the book When I Woke Up! you can find more information on the website www.whenIwokeup.com You can also follow Paul on Instagram @Pauljohnevs
