About

What really happens when you leave behind a respected career to chase bigger ambitions in Dubai?

In this episode of Keep It Locked, Alexander Scott shares his journey from growing up in a small village in Essex, to becoming a Harley Street trained dentist, and eventually building a second career in Dubai real estate.

This conversation dives deep into ambition, lifestyle inflation, wealth, identity, luxury culture, entrepreneurship, investing, and the harsh reality behind the Dubai dream.

Alexander opens up about the pressure of keeping up appearances in Dubai, why most people fail after moving here, how lifestyle inflation silently destroys wealth, and why mastering a real craft is still the foundation of long term success.

The episode also explores Dubai’s real estate market, distressed deals, multi income streams, wealthy clients, trust, personal branding, and the psychology behind success in one of the most competitive cities in the world.

If you’re thinking about moving to Dubai, building multiple income streams, entering real estate, or creating a higher level life for yourself, this episode is packed with brutally honest insights.
