He explains why Dubai’s strict laws create order, why luxury and service feel completely different overseas, and why the UAE’s food, safety, nightlife, and business culture made him question what “the best country in the world” really means. The conversation also gets into his Wingstop empire, building a team, turning down record label deals, being Indian in hip-hop, the downside of AI and surveillance, losing thousands of Bitcoin during the Silk Road days, Runescape nostalgia, numerology, karma, relationships, and why energy matters more than people think.
