(A few shots of me at @inc_arabia’s NextGen AI Summit Riyadh 2026 thanks to @cmmpbycarlanacario; I got to take the stage for a fireside chat with the fantastic Abdulelah Alshareef, Principal at Merak Capital, one of Saudi Arabia’s leading investment firms.) by @thisisaby

giving these pictures from my last paris trip a permanent spot on my grid because apparently they deserved more than just 24 hours on my stories 🤓

(plus a chance to give the new multiple captions feature a go)

We’re sharing a short excerpt and a glimpse of the energy from our online talk The Way We Think with Omar Al Busaidy @omaralbusaidy — entrepreneur, author of Just Read It, and President of Future Pipe Industries, moderated by Aby Sam Thomas @thisisaby, Editor-in-Chief of Inc. Arabia.

Together, we explored how mental frameworks shape the way we think, make decisions, and navigate uncertainty — and how, in a constantly shifting environment, these patterns can both empower and limit us.

A moment to reflect on the way you think.
