    This Guy Builds Cars You’ve Never Seen Before

    06/04/2026 | 26 mins.
    Here’s the thing  most people see supercars…

    But they never see the story behind them.

    In this episode, we sit down with the man behind some of the most aggressive and unique cars in Dubai — from Rolls-Royce to Ferrari… and now even Bugatti.

    But what makes this story different?

    He didn’t come from money.
    He came from nothing.

    From growing up in a poor family in Spain… to building one of the most recognized car customization brands in the world — this is a story about obsession, risk, and vision.

    Inside this episode:

    How he started with zero
    The moment everything changed
    Building thousands of custom cars
    Working with global celebrities
    Why Dubai became his biggest market
    And what it really takes to build something at this level

    This isn’t just about cars.

    It’s about building something that people feel.

    The Truth About Making Millions in Dubai Real Estate

    26/03/2026 | 45 mins.
    Here’s the thing — most people see Dubai real estate from the outside.
    Luxury… towers… big numbers.
    But behind it, there’s a completely different game.
    In this episode, we sit down with one of the fastest-growing real estate CEOs in Dubai  breaking down what actually works, what doesn’t, and why most brokers never make it.
    From building a team of hundreds of brokers, to scaling one of the most dominant real estate companies in the city… this conversation goes deeper than motivation.
    It’s about:
     The real mindset behind success in Dubai 
     Why “selling” is still the only skill that matters 
     How top brokers actually win deals 
     The truth about off-plan vs secondary market 
     What most agents are doing wrong every day 
     And how Dubai is different from every market in the world 
    This isn’t about experience.
     It’s about performance.
    If you’re in real estate  or thinking about getting in  this episode will change how you see the game.

    Zeeshaan is a multi-award-winning international entrepreneur with over 17 years of experience in property and finance, having been involved in more than $1.3 billion in global real estate transactions across thousands of properties worldwide.

    In this conversation, we explore the story behind Mondrian Al Marjan Island Beach Residences, a landmark branded development in Ras Al Khaimah developed by Elevate in collaboration with Ennismore and the iconic Mondrian brand. 
    The project has already made headlines for becoming one of the fastest-selling developments in Ras Al Khaimah, with hundreds of units sold within hours of launch.
    But this episode goes much deeper than property.
    We talk about:
    • The rise of Ras Al Khaimah as the UAE’s next investment destination
    • The mindset required to identify opportunities before everyone else
    • The philosophy behind wellness-driven real estate developments
    • Why modern luxury living is shifting toward health, community, and lifestyle design
    • The personal journey from broker to developer
    Zeeshaan also shares how the philosophy behind Elevate is inspired by creating environments where people can live healthier, happier, and more connected lives, built around the pillars of Health, Wellness, Tribe, Purpose, and Flow.
