What happens when you leave an established career behind and start again from zero in a new country?
In this episode, Nick shares his journey from studying to become a lawyer to switching into software engineering, research, entrepreneurship, and eventually moving to Dubai with his wife to rebuild their careers and businesses from the ground up.
He also explains the early startup that generated close to $1 million in device sales, the intellectual-property mistake that became one of his biggest business lessons, and why founders should protect their IP from day one.
Today, he is building Speak Up, an AI-powered platform designed to connect speakers and experts with event organizers, corporates, media, and governments. In the conversation, Nick says the platform gives access to more than 30,000 organizers and a database of over 150,000 speakers across 120 countries.
The episode also explores what makes a speaker bookable, why visibility matters, mistakes young entrepreneurs should make quickly, and why Dubai can be an attractive place to start again.
