And talking about failure. I don't know, you know, in some in some communities and some groups that I work with, they tend to change the word to say, like, okay, this is not failure, we don't call it failure, it's another step. It's at the end, it's failure. Like you need to admit that you're failing at some point. You want to fail. Uh you want to see that failure if it happens. You know, you need to learn it. But most of us try to limit it or hide it or say like, okay, this is a step. Like I need to admit that we failed. Because I've been failing for 10 years when I started. I didn't admit that it was a failure. And when I s when I started to shift, to try to change it, make it another difference in another way. I realize that I've been holding my brain, unlocking my brain stuff. And I changed that only by talking to more people, tackling and reading books. In a way that you allow your brain to understand more.

SPEAKER_00 2:07

Are you ready to unlock your entrepreneur potential? Are you ready to break free from all the barriers holding you back? Then you've come to the right place. Welcome to the Undiscovered Entrepreneur, your first step in getting across the start line. Let's get across that start line together. Right here, right now, on the Undiscovered Entrepreneur. Salutations, Scooby Leavers, and we are here again with another amazing entrepreneur. Today we're here with Jack. Hey Jack, how are you? I'm good. I'm good. How are you? Fantastic. Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to be on the Undiscovered Entrepreneur. Get across the start line. Super appreciate you. Thank you. It's my pleasure to be here. Alright, awesome. So, what I'd like to do here is right here, very front, is give me kind of a semi-serious question to ask you, okay? You ready? Okay. Okay, here we go. Are you a school believer? Yes. Good enough. Yay, we'll take it. Thanks, Jack. Thanks for being a school believer. Super appreciate you. Alright. So, Jack, what I want to do here right up front is get an idea of who you are, what your entrepreneur adventure is, and how you got across the start line in your entrepreneur adventure.

SPEAKER_01 3:38

Yeah, and definitely the entrepreneurial journey is very long. So I'm gonna just say the highlights that how how how did I start? I started when I when I graduated, I felt like I was already having some couple of jobs just to have my uh pocket money. And then I realized something that I do not fit into the employment field. Although I continued this journey and I got a very good job, and it was an amazing job working remotely in 2010. There was no remote work by that time, but I had this uh opportunity and I was able to travel and do whatever I want. But at the same time, that feeling was still there that I do not fit in this rigid somehow structure or hierarchy. So I decided to start my first venture in 2011. And I'm in digital technology, so I started my first digital agency. It was by that time Facebook was like three years old and mobile websites and so on. So it was something new that I was introducing to the corporate field, and I found an opportunity. At the same time, I found something really interesting that with entrepreneurship, you need to keep working 24-7 every day on yourself before working on the venture. So I like this. But the funny thing is that my first uh dream job was to be a doctor. So I decided not to be a doctor because, like many people told me, like it would be heavy, you need to keep studying for 10 years, 12 years. And I found that entrepreneurship was much harder than that because you need to keep updating yourself and there's no enough resources. It was new by that time. And then I started another venture and another venture. I became addicted to starting ventures from scratch, and this is something that I do always. Whenever I start a new venture, I don't invest money in it. I started from zero as if I'm just starting. So that was uh really uh a passionate thing to do. Of course, without the challenges in the region, I'm working mainly in the Middle East most of my time. Um, so it's always challenges. So I I love these challenges. I love to find smart ways to move forward. So yeah, mainly this is a that's awesome.

SPEAKER_00 5:51

I love it. You know, not all of us are are built for a nine to five job, right? Some of us, there's some people that are okay with it and they're gonna go ahead and go along with it. That's good for them, but not for guys like us. We want to kind of be in charge of our own time and be able to have the freedom to do what we want when we want, even though nine times out of ten what we're actually doing is working. Um, but and do it, but at least it's doing something that we love as people, as who we are, as as our authentic selves. Yeah, we're to you on the outside, it looks like we're working constantly non-top non-stop. But in the inside, in our heads and in our minds, it's like I love to do this so much. I I don't want to stop working because this is exactly where I want to be. And so I love that for most people. Also, I want to hear a little bit more about the digital agency that you're working right now. What exactly are you doing right now? I know you said you're working in the Middle East, and that's awesome, but can you give me a little more of an idea of what you're actually doing?

SPEAKER_01 6:55

Yeah. So the first uh agency that I started with is Creative Agency, doing all the digital solutions for businesses, mainly for startups, uh, for solopreneurs, uh, launching websites, e-commerce websites, uh, making the all the dashboard, the intel intelligence, like business intelligence that every business needs to uh scale fast and start as well. But five years ago, I started another agency, which is what I live now every day to push forward. It's called Brain Digits. Uh, and Brain Digits started in uh first I registered Brain Digits in the US and in Delaware. Uh I was there for a couple of months and I said, like, okay, yes, let's let's start something here. And then when the uh artificial intelligence launched, Brain Digits was all about emerging technologies and the AI started to boom in 2022 a little bit. I found some some sparkle. So I uh moved the the company, the headquarters to Dubai uh and started the company there. And then we scaled into Abu Dhabi to the thing is that in this region, everywhere, it's not like in the states, wherever you need to uh scale, you can scale easily. You have all the frameworks. And in the GCC, you need to kind of register your company in every not every country, but even every emirate. So the more you scale, they they ask you to for the legal registration and so on. So we started scaling and now in Saudi Arabia as well. Personally, I'm from Beirut, Lebanon, so I'm kind of jumping between Jordan, uh, GCC, uh, and and Lebanon and Egypt. Uh, a couple of work in in Europe and Australia and the states, but most of the the work is happening here with the governments investing a lot in artificial intelligence. So, my daily work is to design new programs for uh AI enablement for companies and organizations, with including all the emerging technologies, like making things fun and at the same time really futuristic. Like in uh uh hospitals, we do integrate the virtual reality and AI together to train the staff on virtual scenarios, on real scenarios but built virtually. Uh in the banking, in government, uh public transportation, stuff that are related to the to the people. We love that. This is something that I do every day to create solutions using technology. This is what we do at Brain Digits. And that I love it because it's somehow combining my human technology business aspects together and keep my entrepreneurship spirit uh really high.

SPEAKER_00 9:31

Ah, love it. That's fantastic. Being able to use AI as a tool more than anything else has been probably one of the biggest accomplishments we've had as humans, as as who we are. We just gotta make sure that we're using the AI for the right things and using it as a tool, not a replacement for humans, right? I mean, what do you think? I know that's kind of a touchy subject for a lot of people, but what is your what is your outlook on that?

SPEAKER_01 10:02

Yeah, exactly. You know, there's an example that I always say, and also mentioned a couple of TED speeches and uh uh university most of the time because this is where this ethical conversation is have is happening. I go back to the first invention that the human being had, which is fire. And we're having the same pattern. So we invented fire for something good to improve something, to find to solve a problem, maybe uh as an evolution of our thinking. And then suddenly someone decided to burn down a whole village with the same fire that we invented for as a solution, right? So now it's happening again, but with more power because humanity is more powerful today, human beings are more powerful today with their thinking and the tools that they can do. The intention, maybe it's the same. The same person who wants to do good and too bad. I I think it's the same uh feeling as emotions, but as uh the technical part of it is becoming really advanced. So now you can you can destroy maybe a whole country with uh with one virus, maybe to shut down a whole, and we've seen it. Uh, you can uh shut down a whole industry with just a virus. So this this is the difference. And I think the challenge is there forever. Like who who use things for a good in a good way and who do it in a bad way or to to to cause harm and to to have personal benefit only. I believe that today AI needs more understanding than the technical perspective. We need to go beyond to find why do we exist again as human beings? What do we need to do? Now we have more power. What we can do with that power? What are our problems? We need to rethink our problems and our solutions because we're rethinking all industries now. And this is what I love. And my PhD research currently is about the future of nations with these emerging technologies. Because I don't believe that the next generation would just, you know, do business as usual and just do things as as we know it. They will reinvent many ideas. So it's it's kind of weird to put AI today as just one technical solution that is affecting people jobs and doing harm to some people. It's more like a reinvention, same like we we we faced the internet in the beginning. How did we face the internet? Uh it was the same, I think, moving the whole information uh um that we know as we know it into a web browser 24-7 available. Uh, and now we move the thinking to that phase. It's not information now. We move we we for the first time in history, thinking is happening outside our brain. So that's something to reconsider, I guess.

SPEAKER_00 12:37

Absolutely. It's kind of like having a second brain, right? You have your brain and then you have the brain. Multiple brains at this point. Exactly. Yeah. But it all works out, it helps, it helps us along, especially if you need to come up with ideas and you're like stuck. At least you have someone, something else that you can you can go to with an idea and then maybe get a uh a tidbit of information that that kind of breaks through that that barrier that you have in your head. And you never would have had that if you didn't have that that second brain, right?

SPEAKER_01 13:10

Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Like someone to or something to validate your ideas with keeping the risk of sometimes we if we don't push our brain, we don't see our real self, we could end up being all the same, you know, having the same reference also is is a problem. But uh this is where we encourage in schools and universities and with parents, uh we encourage the the the way that you need to bring the critical thinking and the the values, purpose-driven leadership. Uh, you need to empower these skills. So I think the human skills or what we call soft skills are what we need to empower today more than the technical skills, because you can do anything just with a click. We can make a cinema, cinematic movie, or a song now while we speak. We can just do that, you know. So if you can do that, what would you do? This is the question. What would you do to make an impact? What would you do to make a difference? And this is how I ask some most of the time students, because I've it's scary to just leave them to just talking to AI and tell them what to do.

SPEAKER_00 14:18

Yeah, we need to take that information and do something with it more than anything else. It's nice to have the information to know the information, but it's what we do with that information that makes the biggest difference and make it makes the biggest impacts. Oh yes, yes, exactly. Yeah. All right. So I'd like to backtrack just a little bit. And you told me earlier that you like to bootstrap. You like to bootstrap a new business and things like that. So if you were if you were to have somebody that says, hey, how did you start your businesses? And I want to start a business too, but I need to bootstrap it. Like I I need to have my own mind. So how do you can you give me just a little bit of an example of how we can actually bootstrap our own business?

SPEAKER_01 15:03

Yeah. This is actually an advice that all always gives it to entrepreneurs, to aspiring entrepreneurs. And most importantly, the number of entrepreneurs that I talk to, and they they they they made it to the top. They got big like series of funds and and so on. The only um when face when they face a problem, a big problem, that they like almost shutting down their business, they all tell me whenever I talk about bootstrapping, they tell me, we wish we uh went that way, not raising raising funds immediately. Not because of the fund, but because what you can learn in that journey, not about yourself only, about your your venture. What where can you be and what it can do? Because it's I don't believe it's just launching a business is about understanding what you're doing. It's being ready to allow that business, allow that venture, allow that idea to take you to the maximum. Because imagine now, in 1,000 years, uh uh, if you if you fast forward to the future, if you can imagine, we won't be talking about the same problems today. It would be like something really old, right? So we have that potential to fast forward. The only thing that is limiting us, it's not technical, it's not what we have today, it's our brain, how far we can think. And I think evolution is happening with that way. You can see something in the movies. Some someone decided to imagine something and created a movie out of it, and then suddenly we see it reality after a couple of, I don't know, five, 10, 20 years, and it's happening. We've seen AI in movies before, like the generative AI that we have today, and the agentic AI that we have today. We imagined that 20 years ago, 30 years ago, maybe. So bootstrapping makes this uh more possible to find out what are your possibilities, what are your limitations. But if you just raise funds, it's actually you're staying around that idea and then just bringing funds to make it happen. With bootstrapping, you know, you keep evolving, you keep growing. And by the way, it was last year when a crisis, the banking crisis that happened in Lebanon, and I was talking to one successful uh venture startup in Lebanon, and uh we were in a uh like in a in a in a talk in front of other entrepreneurs, and they were asking me about this. I I told them why. And then the guy who their their venture raised five million dollars in just a couple of years, and then they lost those five million dollars with a crisis. And I told him, like, can I can I ask you what what would you do when you go back in time? He said I would take your advice and start bootstrapping because I would learn every step, I would learn every single step to do it either financially or building my product or whatever, designing my product or whatever I'm doing, I would do it carefully and I would learn from every step. It's very hard, yes, but you those steps make you really uh unbreakable. And this is what I did, by the way. And I um for me, I I been, I got a big benefit from the crisis. I didn't affect my ventures. It's the opposite. I used that crisis because I was going slowly, and at the same time, I was learning from my audience, from the market. I was I was there, I was not busy uh managing fundraising and and seeing what to do with the funds. And I always invested everything that I got, I re-invested. This is what bootstrapping. It's not just getting money and and and and burn that money, right? It's to know where to put that money, and you get more value with with that, with that fund because you earned it very hard, you know.

SPEAKER_00 18:41

Yeah, you have kind of a higher appreciation for it if you like earned it yourself than getting like somebody that says, here, here's a bunch of money, just make sure you cut me in on a deal or something like that, you know. Being able to to have that freedom of saying, hey, this is my money, I made this myself. Let's invest this in myself and in my business and see where it takes us. I like not having to be dependent on somebody else's generosity or income or something like that, because if if they go down, then I go down, right? Because I don't have that money anymore. So you don't have to worry about that when you bootstrap, because this is your money that you've made that you've invested in yourself. So we want to kind of keep that in mind as we're going along. Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_01 19:26

With one with one note that at some point you need fund to to scale, but you need to know when to get that fund. You need to get it from a way where, okay, now I have every everything ready, I have the plan, this is what we need to do. And I don't believe in the first 10 years someone some someone should get that that amount of funds. At least talking from a personal perspective, like what happens if you get that fund earlier? What happens in your life? Like it's no, it's better to go and get a job if you if you're putting your all all your journey, all your profile under that pressure of being an employee again. Because when you get fund, you're an employee now. You're you're a full-time employee. You need to work 24-7 to make to make sure that your your your share is high, to make sure that the investor is happy, and you're not working for everyone, you know? But if it's you bootstrapping and building the team and working on your leadership style, improving your uh your character, how you adapt to things, I'm sure that any fund you get later on, it would be just easy to get, easy to improve, easy to scale. You don't feel that you know, imposter syndrome when you get and you need to to prove that that you're that you you're doing what you're having what it takes. Uh, I rejected actually three uh uh investors. Uh one of them was a friend, and I I opened this conversation with him with him. And he told me, like, after 20 years of doing business, I I learned a lot from just this sentence. I wish I knew that. Uh you you you you you feel, you think that you're not uh an employee, but at the end you're an employee. You only become an owner when you can leave that job and still it can go, right? Otherwise, you're an employee, you're a self-employed, you're a freelancer, you're a self-employee.

SPEAKER_00 21:06

That's right, too. And when you do have a nine to five job, how secure really is it? I mean, if you think about it too, because you've got to impress the one person that could either keep you or fire you, and you and you have everything invested in that one person that can make that decision. How secure really is that, right? But if if you're if you have your own business and you're bootstrapping your own business, there's only one person that's accountable, and that's you to you, exactly, right? And I don't think you're gonna fire yourself, so you know, we'll just see how that goes. Exactly. But yeah, that's amazing.

SPEAKER_01 21:43

About security, I mean, I mean, what is security? I mean, we've seen, like, especially now with the economic crisis happening, no position is safe, no person is is is is secure from uh uh uh from from the layoffs that are happening from the evolution that is happening now. So I I think we we we kind of try to hide from the reality that we are responsible. No matter what we do, we are responsible for our life, we are accountable of our lives, not someone else. When we go and get the job, we feel like okay, that part of that responsibility is now my boss's responsibility or the company responsibility. It's their duty, you know, to uh to take care of ourselves. It's the duty of the government to take care of the economy, but it's not. Everyone's taking care of their own job, their own uh uh future. So whatever happens, they only find they they they can find any you know excuse to just do whatever they want to do. And you just end up alone and again having to scale uh uh um uh again to start and scale and improve yourself. And sometimes this happens in your 60s, 70s when you don't want to do that. So it's it's better to have it early. Even if you have a job, I always ask people, employees, senior employees, try to start a venture, even a small one that you work from your home, because it's not about that business. about you discovering, exploring yourself very early so you can uh face whatever um problems you might might face.

SPEAKER_00 23:09

And I think that's why it's so important for us to teach the young people how to actually do that. So I mean to that they they have the time to be able to do that to how to start a business and how to get at least the basics of how to run even just maybe just a little bit of an adventure so they can have that.

SPEAKER_01 23:34

Exactly yes and this is what's happening in in most of the universities that we encourage this because at the university you're just teaching them the same system you get a uh a uh degree and then you can try to find a job you wish to have some kind of good job and when when you're starting but like at the same time they need to find to explore themselves and I think the entrepreneurship the startup hubs that are happening in universities the entrepreneurship and innovation hubs that are in some universities hopefully in in schools at at as well will meet make people because I need those students those who are involved in such projects making a startup even if I really believed that idea is not so good or that startup will fail in the beginning or or will never will never see the light but at the same time I still encourage them just do it it's about the journey you will learn and eventually you know even the the big the big startups today or I mean the big companies today when they were in the beginning of the startups maybe they had different ideas totally different ideas so they shaped they evolved um because the leader of that idea and the team working on that idea evolved as well and tried to do something else to learn the market to see the needs to the uh the business model and so on and the evolution yeah absolutely it's so important to get across the start line whether you think it's gonna fail or anything like you were saying earlier at least you start something because you can't get across the finish line if you don't get across the start line yeah exactly exactly and talking about failure I don't know you know in some in some communities and some uh uh uh groups that I worked with they tend to change the word to say like okay this is not failure we don't call it failure it's another step it's at the end it's failure like you need to admit that you're you're you're you're failing at some point you want to fail uh you want to see that failure if it happens you know you need to learn it but most of us try to to to limit it or hide it or say that okay this is a step like I need to admit that I uh we failed because I've been failing for 10 years when I started I didn't admit that it's failure and when I when I started to shift to try to change and make an another difference in another way I realized that I've been holding you know my brain uh locking my brain somehow and I changed that only by talking to more people traveling and reading books in a way that you allow your brain to understand more but in the beginning in the first five ten years maybe you feel that working hard is the only thing that you need to do and you you just believe in what you believe and then you just keep it there and you don't have the skill of unlearning what you know so unlearning is also something I I believe it's it's a skill but we're not trained that way because our parents from the beginning they teach us to learn don't forget that you know it's they they train our brain I think our brain is something really big but we limit it. And then at school you you tend to learn uh to memorize things and you need to keep it in your brain. No, I mean the whole world is evolving very fast and and your brain is like a hard drive you need to take stuff off some some methodologies and some stuff and you put other stuff in it and you you feel like you're light you know when you do that it was just three four years ago and I felt like I'm I'm light again I'm I'm just I can go fast I can do whatever I want it's there's no such things that are holding me uh but that would that wasn't the case in the first 10 years. I mean I had a lot of stress just staying in the office having hiring people in the office uh uh staying there till late time because I believed in that now I barely work a couple of hours a day and I do like 10 20 times more than what I did before.

SPEAKER_00 27:37

Yeah that's when you know you're working in your zone of geniuses when you're able to be that free with what you're doing with your thinking because you feel like you said you feel a lot lighter and and and we work faster and easier and more efficiently when you're working in that zone. So yeah absolutely so we um we really need to figure a way how to unlearn what we've learned when it comes to things like that too. I mean when I was in school if I got an F, it was a failure and that's it. And then and you know you might as well give up at that point. That's what I was taught. But now that I know what I know I had there is a an acronym for FAIL that I always kind of lean back on. That's first attempt in learning. When we start something new we have to give ourselves a little bit of leeway to fail because it's the first time we're doing something new we I mean of course we're gonna fail. It's our first time so we got to give ourselves some some grace and some leeway for failure to be able to learn the thing that we actually need to learn. Because we learn more from failure than we do from success. Success great we did we did it but what did we learn? If we fail we fail forward we fail and learn something new something different that we didn't know before that we could change the next time we do whatever it is and if we have that failure coming we could see it coming because we've already had the failure once or twice already so we know what to do to bypass that failure or bypass that hurdle to get to where we need to go yeah I I love the fail forward uh concept like it should be always there because I don't know what I I see a lot of people just failing and freezing I I I will not do it again because it's it's scary.

SPEAKER_01 29:21

I mean I didn't know that and so on. I I keep hearing all this stuff from especially people who are working in conditions that maybe they are starting their venture but the conditions are not compatible as as they say that it's not the right time. And I say like it's never the right time I mean you're never ready if you're ready then you don't need to do it. Like you already do it you already did it it's it's done you don't need it. If you're not learning something new then you don't need it. And you need to set your priority why why you're doing that why you're starting I mean the more we go with experience the more we feel that we need more we know because we know that there's a lot to to learn and and and this is what we need to I think to spread with with others yeah yeah I like that yeah all right awesome appreciate that all right so if we if you came across a brand new entrepreneur that's just getting started you know if you came across in the coffee shop whatever and you found out they're starting a new business what's one good solid piece of advice would you give them what's one solid step you'd have them take there's a lot whenever I I I you know because I'm I'm on LinkedIn most of my time I I post a lot so whenever I'm traveling or sitting in a coffee shop I always you know see someone who who wants to ask that question and I I feel like okay there's a lot of uh important pieces to to share but first I always love to listen to them because I don't think there is one piece of advice to to to any person sometimes you feel you find people who are more technical they they build nice stuff you know and I was there i'm i'm i'm I have a development and design background and in the beginning i i launched in the first 10 years i i launched a lot of of of ideas i built them i didn't just test them i built them uh and it's still there you know moving with me because i don't want to to lose all that time and i i believe that someday i'll find someone to just cooperate and do it but it's not it's gonna it's not gonna happen unless I want to do it you know so the first piece of advice is do not fall in love uh any in your idea in a way that you hold it and you don't make it evolve uh listen unlearn uh listening I believe because they most of the time they ask you for an advice I mean we tend in the beginning to when we ask for an advice we don't listen carefully we just ask for the advice to I don't know to prove an idea that we already have so deep listening is really important why is that person telling me this uh it's it's good to ask why I mean you can ask them I I love when they ask me why why would you tell me that this is this advice where is it coming from because I want to learn why did you get to that uh idea how did you get that idea how did you get to that to say that advice what happened with you I want to know what did you do to get out of that problem or how did you solve that problem. So uh learning listening you know keep learning every day talking to more people I have like 10 entrepreneurial power cards that I share usually with people that I meet it's more of by priority the 10 things that you need to do to uh empower yourself in that journey and it starts with personal profile one and two is the connections that you make. So and it it's somehow combined like you have LinkedIn now you have Instagram you have Facebook you can keep connecting with people talking to people give value so you can get value back. And then whenever you're you need help whenever you need to do something you have all that community with you you have your profile and this is at least what what helped me my profile helped me a lot because I invested a lot of time in it. And connections every time I feel stuck I go back to people I go back to talking to people because we kind of especially now with AI now we're stuck more in our AI twins that we ask questions, we validate our ideas and we feel relieved that okay AI told me like the idea is great and that's it. No you need to go to talk to people and be ready to be uh um you know to get negative feedbacks uh to get the the judgment on your idea it doesn't mean that you take that judgment and keep improving and keep keep changing your idea but to find if there is an improvement in that and ask more people to validate it.

SPEAKER_00 33:47

Yeah and believe uh don't do not stop you always need to believe that you need to keep going you never stop always connect with people when you can and wherever you can I mean it's number one yeah you gotta understand that these people are not competition. I mean yeah they're probably in the same niche as you and that kind of thing but at the same time you're gonna find more people that actually want you to succeed than not. So they're gonna be willing to help you with advice they're gonna be willing to help you with the a direction and that kind of thing and it's important that you listen to that and take it within yourself to do it.

And find the little gold nuggets that you get from talking to these people and incorporate it into your business or whatever it is that you're doing yeah I like the term co-opetition since you mentioned since they're not there like we are cooperating to maybe compete on on a larger scale same like without like the airlines did maybe like the online payments and so on. So they they scale they they raise awareness together they do some strategies together so the market is bigger so they can easily compete and do not need to compete anymore.

SPEAKER_00 35:00

That's right. And that's how we grow that's how we learn and that's how we do things. And what we do with the information whether it be positive or negative is what really makes us who we are and what we do. Yeah we can be we can get some negative feedback on something and then just throw our hands up in the air and say well this isn't for me then if I'm getting this kind of feedback or we could take that information say okay now let me make this little tweak and change and maybe it's for the better and and see what happens um I that's something I'm always saying is let's see what happens next right with that change and see how it goes.

SPEAKER_01 35:35

Exactly yeah all right so I have a tradition with all my guests in the next six months where do you see yourself in your company do you have a goal for yourself in the next six months yes yes yes and no usually like I learned it uh uh from all the experiences that I had before and I love something that I did and by the way not in entrepreneurship but in geopolitics which is about the the planning we say in geopolitics that plans are useless but planning is everything so you need to plan uh based on my plans how I see myself although I keep always a room for surprises and to go totally the opposite but um I'm I'm trying to position brain digits my company more although the brands are becoming more about personal I'll keep always improving my personal profile but in the next six months I see uh myself leading the the the the discussion of AI especially in government and education and health sector uh somehow with the key players in the region hopefully it's gonna happen in the next six months uh the war in the Middle East it like tends to to slow down all this all this plan but um yeah I I I believe we can we can make it in the next six months all right so what I'd like to do with you Jack is I'd like to have another interview with you in six months and see where life has taken you what kind of changes you've had and see where brain change it's gone to is that okay amazing yeah I feel like it's a challenge now that's right because you're not just accountable to me you're accountable to all my school believers out there so no pressure okay yeah yeah that's amazing sure all right Jack this is your time to shine this is the time where I want you to advertise yourself how do we get a hold of you and all that good stuff okay ready set a go okay so um um first um regarding my my what I do I encourage first everyone to uh to get a step and get involved in what is happening not just with artificial intelligence today but also in the leadership conversation that is happening the change of leadership that is happening and this is where we put brain digits as a uh full uh uh partner support for many companies organizations and entrepreneurs to work um hand in hand with people who believe the same that we need to be empowered and in our leadership skills and our soft skills at the same time with our critical thinking and all the skills that makes us human and at the same time with the technical skills to build AI agents AI assistants that are smart enough to fulfill our dreams and to work together in a local and global scale that we can really shine and whatever we do. And we do if we don't really believe in what we do, we can also build AI systems, AI agents that help us also do and this is one of the TED talks that I have you can search for it with the AI and the rise of digital twins and the personal leadership how AI can positively lead us if we train them in whatever we do and the purpose that we have. That's it.

SPEAKER_00 39:05

Thank you so much all right if you want to get ahead uh get a hold of Jack for anything I do have information in the show notes where we could take a look at him for all the LinkedIns and all that good stuff. All right Jack thank you so much for being on the Undiscovered entrepreneur this has been an absolute pleasure to be able to talk with you and I look forward to seeing you again same here man thank you so much for this opportunity and looking forward. All right all right school believers make sure you stay tuned for the wrap up okay everybody thank you bye bye all right school believers that was Jack what a fantastic episode so much to talk about with Jack he really kind of put it together for us and I really really appreciate Jack I do want to make sure that you caught a couple things and we're gonna talk about that right now the most dangerous thing that you could do with failure is just rename it and move on. We can't skip the crucial step of sitting with the failure and listening to what it actually taught us. Failure is the greatest teacher but it's not going to be able to do anything for us if we don't take advantage of what it taught us and then implement that failure that teaching moment into the next thing that we do. We can't just sit on and say okay I failed and then move on we will never learn anything if we just look past it rename it and then just move on to something else. What did we learn from that failure will teach you what to do in your next few steps and if you do come across that same failure or you know you're coming across that same failure real soon you will have the tools that you need to accomplish what you need to do if the problem arises again. So don't miss the opportunity to know what you learn from that failure. Unlearning something we know is not just giving up unlearning what we know is giving us room to know what to do next. That way we can clear out from the mental hard drive what we don't need anymore. We learn so many things as we go along but eventually there are things that we need to unlearn things that serve you anymore move past those things and use the tools that you learned from the failure as the thing that you need to learn now. Put it in that mental hard drive always make room for the things you need to know and the only way we can do that is to unlearn the bad habits unlearn the things that don't serve us and relearn the things that will serve us and that will get you across the star line in your entrepreneur adventure and with that I want to say thank you scoob believers for another great episode subscribe right now to keep informed about some new things that I got working that are coming up really really soon.
