Eventful Lives

Entrepreneurs are leaving the UK in record numbers - and many of them are heading to Dubai. But is it really the tax-free paradise people claim, or just another overhyped billionaire playground?

In this episode we fly to Dubai to find out what’s actually going on. From multimillionaire founders and property developers to ex-Special Forces leader Ollie Ollerton, we speak to the people building businesses and new lives in one of the fastest-growing cities in the world. They reveal the truth about the opportunities, the costs, the mindset and why thousands of entrepreneurs are choosing Dubai over the UK.

From billionaires and beach clubs to startup founders chasing opportunity, this is a raw look inside the city that’s becoming the global hub for ambition.

This is DUBAI UNCOVERED. 🇦🇪

James Sinclair opens up about building an 18-brand empire spanning childcare, leisure, food services and hospitality - with 45 companies on Companies House and over 2,000 employees. From buying five businesses in a single year to adding £23 million in revenue, he shares how he leverages distribution, management teams and “love, want and need” sectors to scale aggressively through smart acquisitions.
He speaks about the pressures of entrepreneurship - £18 million in loans, a £1.5-2 million monthly payroll, dark moments behind the scenes, and why “happiness is a little bit boring” for someone wired to build. Fiercely ambitious and relentlessly driven, James reveals his obsession with growth, buying established businesses over starting from scratch, and his refusal to ever retire - even if the only breaking point is death.

This is the eventful life of James Sinclair.

Farard Darver opens up about leaving a 16-year military career - including tours in Afghanistan - to build a global CBD brand from scratch. After battling chronic pain and relying on painkillers, he discovered an alternative that would change his life and spark a new mission. What started as a personal solution is now a company operating across multiple continents, backed by 38 investors, and on track to become a £1 billion enterprise.

He speaks candidly about the reality of entrepreneurship - walking away from a guaranteed pension, risking everything, raising £2.2 million, and grinding through years of uncertainty. From combat zones to boardrooms, this is a story of discipline, resilience, and betting it all on a vision.

This is the eventful life of Farard Darver.
