Indie Music and TechTalk September 25th

2 fun hours of radio.

We started with some great music from the GCC. Thanks to Paul at Triplew.me for pulling it together.




And during techtalk it was all iPhone. Omar from JadoPado brought the goods in and Andrew, from Nexa, and myself had a great look and chat.

Get Fit Radio and Adrian Hayes

2 hours of interesting conversation.

We kicked things off with Marcus Smith of Innerfight.com walking us through the wild world of your fitness.




And what better to follow Marcus than Adrian Hayes professional adventurer.

We had an amazing conversation about Adrian's attempt at K2.

Here are some notes on Adrian.

We last spoke to Adrian on Nightline as he was preparing to depart for Pakistan to climb K2.

K2 , risk, and selfishness - the subject matter of an article Huffington post serialized a few weeks back.

Adrian Hayes is the British, UAE based, record-breaking adventurer, speaker, corporate coach and sustainability ambassador.

A former British Army Gurkha officer and Airbus Sales Director, he has set two Guinness World records for polar expeditions - reaching the Earth's "3 Poles" in the shortest period of time in history and for the Arctic’s longest unsupported snow-kiting expedition to date.

An ambassador and leader on economic, social and environmental sustainability, he is, first and foremost, a professionally qualified corporate coach and speaker who offers a series of seminars and coaching programmes designed with one overall aim – to help maximize  potential,  performance and results. You, your team or your company.

As one of the few serious adventurers in the World with a senior corporate background, someone who’s used the tools – and actually "done it" -  in all spheres of life.

High altitude mountaineering is probably unique in the world as being the only sport or pastime where death is a constant risk, continually faced and often talked about. An outsider observing a group of mountaineers together would probably be shocked at how frequently death is mentioned - sooner or later the conversation will turn to someone known dying of cerebral edema on a Himalayan giant, followed by someone else being killed by a fall on the south face of another. It all appears very casual, matter of fact and lacking any empathy.

September 22 CarTalk and Social Media

Two very different but engaging hours of Nightline.

In hour 1 it was all about cars with the boys from MotoringME.com.




in hour 2 it is all about social media and your business. But how do we get started with enterprise social media? Two speakers give us their tips as heard at the 2nd GCC Government Social Media Summit.

Pippa Norris

Head of Online Engagement

Ministry of Defence UK

Dr. Hassan Dawood

Head of Dubai office, Alsayegh Media

A doctor by training and an entrepreneur by passion, Dr Hassan Dawood started his first company in the technology sector while still a medical student in the United Kingdom. Upon returning to his native UAE, he was instrumental in co-establishing a revolutionary New Media agency. Within the space of two short years, he helped to transform the company from a “new player” to a “game changer”.

Today he inspires a multi-skilled staff of Emirati and international talents, and has spearheaded some of the region’s most highly-praised communication strategies for clients such as Dubai Economic Department, Abu Dhabi Police, Dubai International Peace Convention, and many other successes.

Dr Hassan regularly invests his time as a Motivational Speaker and Special Judge at entrepreneurship events. He is devoted to helping young Emirati entrepreneurs become a dominant force on the world stage. His philosophy is that the only real limit for an entrepreneur should be their imagination.
