SAY YAS WITH KURT: Recent Episodes
Kurt Blum
I am Kurt Blum, now property investor in the UK, and I will tell you how to start over and reach new heights. Originally from Switzerland, throughout my career I have had jobs from primary school teacher to musician, full-time church organist, street dance crew manager and board trustee until I had enough from everything. I left Switzerland and established my own company as an art dealer and event organiser in Dubai. Having a story that you can relate to might be helpful for people, who want to grow with their personal career, and that’s why I thought of this podcast. To get your mindset there, I will interview successful people on the highs and lows of their careers and what has caused them to SAY YAS to change. “YAS” stands for everything that I said YES to. Catch us for some fun talk every FRIDAY!

TO THE UAE | ONCE UPON A DREAM ...
Once upon a dream of a man with a mission
Whose biggest strive was to fulfill his vision
Of giving the desert a pulse – a heart
Pumping life into each and every part
Of his country that stood up for a future unknown
To become a model proudly shown.
Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan
Revealed his dream, his insight, his plan
He united the leaders of all six lands
Who proudly announced their joining hands.
And together the country a unity of seven
Turned the whole place into a green heaven
Vision after vision
The UAE formed its position
With Tolerance, Harmony and Respect
Three simple words yet there to connect.
A place where East meets West
Welcoming all its different guests
Far over two hundred nations who live
Under a generosity only the UAE can give
Kindness and Hospitality
Two genuine foundations of the Emirati mentality
Through Religion, Heritage, Education and Tradition
Its People follow their great ambition
To achieve more and more in their lives
Reaching back to its founder ́s strive.
UAE the country– being humble yet noble
Expands its status of being global
Bid for the EXPO to host this year
Once again – the region’s pioneers.
2021- such a blink of an eye
The WORLD EXPO taking place in Dubai.
These words surely melt on the tip of the tongue
‘Once upon a dream’ is where history has begun.
So...the dream of Zayed is living on
Through Khalifa raising his country so strong
Enlarging the footsteps his fathers once made
Creating new horizons
Decade after decade.
May this country live ever after so blessed
A heartfelt prayer
So deeply expressed.
