Jobs In Dubai

The Jobs In Dubai Brand

JID, short for Jobs In Dubai, is my 9 to 5 job. I started JID a decade ago while working for a bank in Toronto, Canada, and it's been greatly successful. It is, in fact, the only company in its field that is Dubai-specific and one of the largest in the region.

Are you looking for a career change in one of the fast-growing cities in the Emirates? Jobs In Dubai connects qualified candidates to the top employers in the area. Once in a while, I get an email from someone who has found a lifestyle-defining job in Dubai, sharing their story. A lot of the time I think "I was that guy," a fresh grad looking for a job during the IT boom in 2000. Those emails are a reminder of how far I've come with JID, and make the experience and the journey there completely worthwhile.

Even if you're not looking for a career change right now, feel free to check out what JID is offering. You never know, it could be a life-changing experience for you. For me, living and working in Dubai was such a unique cultural experience, and I learned a lot during my time there. I fly back a few times a year, and every time I step off the plane, I'm amazed at how much the city has grown in such a short time. It's been exciting to see how much Dubai has changed so much in a span that's shorter than my lifetime, and continues to grow and lead every day.
 

Flip Easy


The Flip Easy Brand

The patented FlipEasy condom has been a longtime baby of mine. It's a condom. A hands free condom. It's unparalleled, and now, after all the work I did marketing it, speaking with lawyers, registering patents, and otherwise perfecting it, it's ready to hit the markets around the world.

Don't ask me how I thought of this, but it's a fact that STIs can be spread via the hands if they have been in contact with other parts of the body where the diseases reside. That's why I think it's important to have a hands-free condom that can protect such risks. The innovation is in the packaging - the condom is completely contained within a flat carboard applicator, so that the condom can be applied without the hands ever touching it. The packaging even has glow-in-the-dark instructions to make sure the fun isn't interrupted. Here's the demo: [link].

It's still a pretty new idea. In fact, in focus groups, a lot of people seem taken by surprise - "That's a condom??" they say. Yes, it's a condom.
