If you think Abu Dhabi is all tech and energy investment, think again. The Emirate’s music scene is thriving. And @PopArabia is leading the way. @JohnBerman and I spoke with @iamspek and Joury about building a homegrown music industry that leaves a mark on the global map. #BeckyandJohntakeoverAbuDhabi #TheGreatAbuDhabiNYEChallenge

This is one of those situations when you lost but still won. I’m grateful for last night. No regrets to get in ring one last time. I almost died in June. Had 8 blood transfusions. Lost half my blood and 25lbs in hospital and had to fight to get healthy to fight so I won. To have my children see me stand toe to toe and finish 8 rounds with a talented fighter half my age in front of a packed Dallas Cowboy stadium is an experience that no man has the right to ask for. Thank you 🙏 #PaulTyson
