style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"> <strong>Saudi Arabia and Turkey want to build a <\/strong><strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/middle-east\/turkey-saudi-arabia-aim-build-rail-link-with-jordan-syria-minister-says-2026-06-14\/\" style=\"\">rail link<\/a><\/strong><strong> through Jordan and Syria <\/strong><strong>within three to four years <\/strong>\u2014 a route for goods, oil, gas, and passengers connecting the Kingdom to Turkey and on to Europe. The UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, and Oman could eventually join the network. The two countries signed a pair of MoUs last week \u2014 with one covering logistics services and rail cooperation and the other spanning railway technologies, signaling and communication systems, and digitalization.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The idea is gaining traction \u2014 but it remains far from a functioning corridor. <\/strong>\u201cAt the moment, we are seeing a gradual transition from political intent toward infrastructure and economic logic,\u201d Ziya Mammadov, transport and logistics specialist, tells EnterpriseAM. Recent maritime disruptions have accelerated interest, but coordinated infrastructure, aligned rules, and cross-border execution still need to come together first, he says.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The physical gap is clear: <\/strong>The Saudi-side route already reaches the Jordanian border, and Turkey\u2019s network runs from Islahiye to Kilis and Gaziantep near the Syrian border. What remains is a roughly 400 km missing section between Syria and Jordan. Meanwhile, Turkey is putting up around USD 100 mn to rebuild the route between its border and Aleppo, with a direct rail link onward to Damascus. A broader financing plan for the full corridor is still being drawn up.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Syria remains the biggest swing factor: <\/strong>Ankara has deepened ties with Damascus since the fall of Bashar Al Assad in late 2024 and has committed to supporting Syria\u2019s reconstruction \u2014 giving Turkey a direct stake in making the corridor work. Syria\u2019s reconstruction and day-to-day operational stability remain major variables for the route, he adds.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The hardest part is making the border work.<\/strong> Customs harmonization, digital border procedures, and transit governance need to come first, while financing and long-term investment confidence come second, Mammadov adds.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Maritime freight will remain more cost-efficient for bulk shipments in most scenarios<\/strong>, Mammadov says. What the corridor offers is supply chain diversification, reduced transit uncertainty, and strategic optionality during Red Sea or Hormuz disruptions \u2014 with time-sensitive cargo and regional trade the likeliest early movers. \u201cAssuming immediate large-scale freight shifts or volumes comparable to established maritime routes is still too early,\u201d he notes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Geography alone will not shift freight:<\/strong> Shippers would need predictable transit times, competitive end-to-end costs, digital cargo visibility, affordable ins., operational security, and schedule integrity before moving volumes onto a new corridor, Mammadov says.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Central Asia is still likely to anchor to the Middle Corridor \u2014 but a Gulf-Turkey route <\/strong><strong>could add a southern layer rather than compete with it. <\/strong>Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and other Central Asian economies have the most natural alignment with the Middle Corridor toward Europe, Mammadov says. \u201cIn modern logistics, redundancy and multiple route options increasingly create value,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>SOUND SMART-<\/strong> The Middle Corridor is the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route \u2014 the rail-and-sea freight path that carries goods from China to Europe via Kazakhstan, a ferry hop across the Caspian, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Turkey. Its entire pitch is what it avoids: it touches neither Russia nor Iran, which is why volumes jumped after Western sanctions on Russia in 2022 made the old northern route through Moscow a liability. The catch is capacity, as the Caspian ferry crossing and a string of border handoffs make it slower and choppier than the route it replaced.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/ksa\/tag\/corridors\/\">Corridors<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/ksa\/tag\/ksa\/\">KSA<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/ksa\/tag\/rail\/\">Rail<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/ksa\/tag\/the-big-story-today\/\">THE BIG STORY TODAY<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/ksa\/tag\/turkey\/\">Turkey<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"110384 advertiser\" class=\"issue-section enterprise-adv\">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                            \"\r\n            id=\"110384\">\r\n            \r\n            <div class=\"story__body\">\r\n\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/ksa\/2026\/06\/18\/110384\/\">\r\n                    <div class=\"photo photo--above\">\r\n                                            <\/div>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n\r\n                \n<article id=\"post-110384\" class=\"content-area-description single-story post-110384 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-advertiser wpautop entry\">\n\n\t\n\t<div class=\"entry-content\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/web.facebook.com\/HassanAllamProperties\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ent.news\/2026\/6\/1046.jpeg?ssl=1\"><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"110385\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"110385\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">3<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">ECONOMY<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/ksa\/2026\/06\/18\/saudi-arabia-oman-will-be-the-gccs-only-growing-economies-in-2026-icaew\/\">\r\n                            The oil-shaped dent                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/ksa\/2026\/06\/18\/saudi-arabia-oman-will-be-the-gccs-only-growing-economies-in-2026-icaew\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();

That's a sharp downgrade from the 0.2% contraction it forecast three months ago, and a reversal of the 3.6% expansion the wider Middle East was tracking before the war. The region is now seen shrinking 4.1%.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>REMEMBER- The war shock has hit Saudi almost entirely through oil<\/strong>. The Kingdom\u2019s economy saw the slowest expansion since 2Q 2024, up by 3% y-o-y in <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/ksa\/2026\/06\/10\/saudi-arabias-economy-slows-in-1q-hampered-by-oil-activities\/\" style=\"\">1Q<\/a> 2026, with oil activities being the primary drag on performance. However, analysts have noted that this downturn was mitigated more effectively than anticipated, thanks to strategic rerouting initiatives and the East-West pipeline.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:justify\"><strong>Food inflation is staying contained:<\/strong> CPI inched up just 1.8% in <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/ksa\/2026\/06\/16\/inflation-subdued-in-may-despite-war-pressures\/\" style=\"\"><\/a><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/ksa\/2026\/06\/16\/inflation-subdued-in-may-despite-war-pressures\/\" style=\"\">May<\/a>, and ICAEW expects food inflation to stay subdued, citing the Kingdom's larger domestic production base and supply-chain resilience. That comes in contrast to the food-driven price pressure building in Kuwait, Oman and Qatar.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:justify\"><strong>MEANWHILE- GCC oil output faces its steepest decline in decades<\/strong>, down 14.5% this year on the shipping disruption, before a 23.5% rebound in 2027 off a depressed base. ICAEW sees Brent averaging USD 90 \/ bbl this year, easing over the medium term as the UAE's exit from Opec+ and a planned West-East pipeline set to double export capacity through Fujairah. Inbound tourist arrivals across the GCC are forecast to fall 30% as security concerns reshape booking and destination decisions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:justify\"><strong>What's next:<\/strong> ICAEW pegs the recovery to the Strait reopening to normal transit, which it expects to come slowly. It sees GCC headline inflation at 2.6% y-o-y in 2026, easing to 2.1% in 2027 as supply-side pressures fade. The Fed is expected to hold rates until December, with regional central banks following the lead.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/ksa\/tag\/economy\/\">ECONOMY<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/ksa\/tag\/gdp\/\">GDP<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"110387 advertiser\" class=\"issue-section enterprise-adv\">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                            \"\r\n            id=\"110387\">\r\n            \r\n            <div class=\"story__body\">\r\n\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/ksa\/2026\/06\/18\/110387\/\">\r\n                    <div class=\"photo photo--above\">\r\n                                            <\/div>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n\r\n                \n<article id=\"post-110387\" class=\"content-area-description single-story post-110387 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-advertiser wpautop entry\">\n\n\t\n\t<div class=\"entry-content\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasheelfinance.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ent.news\/2024\/12\/1942.jpg?ssl=1\"><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"110388\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"110388\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">4<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">DEBT WATCH<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/ksa\/2026\/06\/18\/the-war-premium-is-fading-for-gcc-investment-grade-debt-fitch\/\">\r\n                            Almost back to normal                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/ksa\/2026\/06\/18\/the-war-premium-is-fading-for-gcc-investment-grade-debt-fitch\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();

It also draws from both large companies and SMEs, with 80% of participants coming from local firms, reflecting the focus on building domestic industry capability.

The statement, instead, was boiled down to three paragraphs essentially saying: economic activity is expanding at a solid pace, inflation remains elevated partly due to energy supply shocks from the Middle East conflict, and the committee will deliver price stability. It contained no signals for what the Fed might do next. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Sitting out the dot plot:<\/strong> Nine of the 18 FOMC participants projected the federal funds rate ending 2026 above its current range \u2014 implying at least one hike \u2014 and the dot plot appeared to be missing one submission. Warsh <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/finance\/fed-chief-warsh-appears-forgo-dot-indicating-his-rate-path-view-2026-06-17\/\" style=\"\">confirmed<\/a> it was his, and hinted there might be a whole new framework for the Fed\u2019s public communications by the end of the year. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Warsh said there would be five task forces<\/strong> \u2014 covering the Fed's communications, its balance sheet, its reliance on existing data sources, productivity and jobs, and its inflation framework \u2014 most of which he hopes will conclude by fall or year-end. Everything is on the table: the dot plot, the quarterly Summary of Economic Projections, FOMC meeting minutes and transcripts, even the post-meeting press conference. Warsh signalled he may hold fewer of those too: \u201cWhen you have one, you want to make sure you have something important to say,\u201d he was <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/2026\/06\/17\/economy\/fed-rate-decision-june-kevin-warsh\" style=\"\">quoted<\/a> as saying. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>His argument: <\/strong>When financial markets simply reflect back what the Fed has said, the Fed loses its most important source of information. He wants markets watching data, not watching the Fed watching data.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Markets did not love any of this. <\/strong>The S&P 500 closed down 1.2% and the Nasdaq fell 1.3%. The 10-year Treasury yield shot to nearly 4.5%. Traders were also <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/business\/economy\/inflation-kevin-warsh-fed-fomc-meeting-rcna350411\" style=\"\">pricing better than a 90% chance of a rate hike<\/a> by October, with many pricing in a hike as soon as September.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\"> MARKETS THIS MORNING- <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Asian markets are mixed this morning<\/strong>, with Japan\u2019s Nikkei jumping to a fresh record while Hong Kong\u2019s Hang Seng fell, and mainland China\u2019s CSI 300 was flat.

This week, we sat down with Abdulaziz Almuhaydib (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/abdulaziz-almuhaydib\/\" style=\"\">LinkedIn<\/a>), Velents\u2019 co-founder, to discuss the company\u2019s AI ambitions, the future of sovereign technology, and what it takes to build a regional AI player.<strong> Edited excerpts from our conversation:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>E: What pulled you toward AI, tech, and Velents?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Abulaziz Almuhaydib:<\/strong> My background isn\u2019t traditionally in tech \u2014 I came up through operations management and trading within the mining industry. I started angel investing in multiple startups later because I believed the best MBA is actually investing in startups instead of going to school and paying tuition. You get to know how founders build startups and what the tricks are \u2014 you\u2019re paying your money to actually understand how a startup works.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Velents was the third startup I invested in<\/strong>, out of a portfolio that eventually grew to about 14 companies. I left my job after six months of starting my investment and joined Velents as a co-founder because I was fully convinced that AI is the future.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>E: What\u2019s Velents\u2019 origin story, and where does the company sit today?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>AA: <\/strong>Since the beginning of 2023, we have adapted to the market by remaining agile and flexible. We initially started as a sovereign AI company focused on applicant tracking systems, video interviewing, and AI recruiting, and then evolved into an agentic AI company. Now, through our agentic approach, we look at where workflow operations actually slow down inside an organization and embed an AI agent directly into that workflow to make operations measurable and more efficient. The target segment for us includes governmental, semi-governmental, and large enterprise clients.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Velents stands on top of three main technologies: <\/strong>the first being document understanding, the second is a conversational AI that understands spoken and written Arabic and executes actions in the background, and the third is media analysis, where we analyze videos for interviews or conduct sentiment analysis for call centers. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Our product stack includes<\/strong> Agent.sa, the first fully integrated Arabic-speaking AI employee, and Safha, our document understanding and analysis platform built with Elm. We also run an AI recruitment agent and a quality assurance agent which provides customer support services.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>E: What\u2019s the current development and expansion strategy for Velents?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>AA:<\/strong> Our near-future target is to build sovereign AI agents that users can host locally on their laptops. For example, an employee in a finance department could have a small language model (SLM) running locally with multiple agents assisting them through their specific processes in an isolated space.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>We realized over the past year that partnership-led growth is essential.<\/strong> AI is not a standalone product \u2014 it\u2019s a top-up layer to an ecosystem that already exists in enterprises. This is why we formed strategic partnerships with companies like Claude, Red Hat, and IBM.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>E: Speaking of sovereign AI, why is it becoming so critical for GCC governments and firms?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>AA:<\/strong> At the end of the day, you have to protect your data. Sovereign AI is the most critical global trend right now \u2014 not just in Saudi Arabia \u2014 because organizations cannot risk sharing private data due to cybersecurity restrictions. You need a sovereign AI that understands your specific data, segment, nation, citizens, and internal processes to compete globally.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>E: Looking ahead, what are the challenges to scaling across the region?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>AA: <\/strong>The biggest challenge is AI awareness. There is a mandate from leadership to utilize AI, but the practical use cases are often misunderstood, and there is often a disconnect between higher-level executives who want to embed AI immediately and the operational teams who have to use it. AI utilization must start with an existing pain point, not just as a complementary \u201cbuzzword.\u201d Many projects fail because companies don\u2019t start with the root cause of the problem. At Velents, we provide tools, but if they aren\u2019t utilized correctly, the ROI is zero. We focus heavily on the specific use case first, and then deploy our suite of agents to target the issue directly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>E: Walk us through your day, start to finish.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>AA:<\/strong> I\u2019m not naturally a morning person, but transitioning from an employee to a co-founder pushed me to become one. I wake up around 8am and aim to be in the office by 9am. One of my best investments was an xBloom coffee machine, because I can use the app to start filtering my coffee before I even arrive.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Once at the office<\/strong>, I check in with the employees to see if anyone needs help or faces any dependencies from my side. After that, I look at my calendar to prepare for any client meetings. My evenings after that are usually spent attending networking events and dinners with business and marketing leaders to engage with them on a personal level.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">Abulaziz\u2019s recommendations<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>What he\u2019s listening to: <\/strong>I spend my commute listening to the All-In Podcast to stay updated on tech trends and market developments during the heavy morning and evening traffic in Riyadh. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>A piece of advice that stuck:<\/strong> Don't compare yourself to others. If you do, you will constantly chase an ideal that doesn\u2019t fit your reality, because everyone\u2019s life journey is completely different. We live with the momentum of a high-speed track, so two years is actually a long time. Comparing yourself to who you were two years ago takes all the noise out of your mind. The only honest scoreboard is whether you have moved or not.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div
