Entrepreneurs are wired differently.
They exhibit traits of psychopathy (not in a bad sense, well mostly 😂)
You have to be a little bat-shit cray cray to take an idea from nothing, and spend years trying to turn it into something.

People don’t realise how much time, energy and effort it actually takes to build something.
One of the reasons I wanted to put more adequate role models out there was so that the next gen have a more realistic picture about what it takes.

We’ve heard at previous Batley Entrepreneurship Club events where the importance of sports, fitness & health directly correlates with entrepreneurship and life.
The mistake is separating them all, instead of seeing them as different spokes of the same thing.
Previous guests have come with an entrepreneurship first lens, this time we’ll have a perspective coming from an elite professional athlete.
Boxing has many parallels to building projects, side hustles and business…
…all wrought with challenges where you must Find A Way.
For now, you need to just find your way to Batley (😂) on the 22nd of July.
An evening with Johnny Nelson is going to be electric.

"You've got to see it to be it."
Nasar Hussain dropping some words of wisdom here and summing up why events are important.
Social media is powerful.
But it comes with a lot of noise. And now with AI, even more slop.
In person you can't fake it. The actual person shows up, no filters.
It's all about the human interaction as Nasar puts it.
What I love about this clip is how Batley, a town that typically gets written off, became the attracting factor.
Just like Bradford, there's so much good happening in these places. It just needs highlighting.
That's what these events do.
Real people. Real stories. Real inspiration.
Just over a week away. Be there:

I, like many of you, was conditioned to dislike attention. But "attention is currency"
Yeah we all cringe when gooorooos say that. However, there's an element of truth in it.
The post-career era rewards attention. All of these platforms are fighting for attention.
Media, government, big tech - all vying for attention.
Feels like err'one's been bangin' on about you needing a personal brand, why? Because it gets attention.
Most professionals cringe at the sound of personal brand.
But you need to reframe, personal brand is child's play.
Serious operators know they need to shift towards a full blown media company.
And as a media company you need distribution. Which brings you attention.
With that attention, you then solve problems, help people, provide value, and build your career.
You stay relevant in an AI age making seismic changes.
Yesterday, I talked about my March analytics.
One month means nothing. As a distribution system you need to zoom out and take a look at the compounding effect:
Approximately 3 million views across 5 platforms.
(Doesn't take into account the 2 other platforms I've posted on, nor the posting on brand accounts).
Some of you will remember when I was spoofin' 7-figuhhh-hustlaa a couple of years ago after surpassing a million on LinkedIn.
Being on one platform is dangerous: censorship, account removals and it's all gone.
As a media company you're not focusing on one platform; you're focusing on different distribution channels.
You're not comparing to what others are doing and getting.
You're building out assets that work for your circumstances.

Eid Mubarak.
Have a blessed day with your loved ones.
Cray cray times out there; today is a day to just switch off and be present to celebrate.
On a personal note, the Minotaur Ramadan Challenge has finished:
No junk food
No fried food
No fizzy drinks
We did it!
Althing we failed on the no desserts.
Just had my first bit of fried food on Eid.
Already regretting it!!
Need to go even harder with the discipline post ramadan.
Anyhow, enjoy your day! 🥳🎉🎈🎊

Not only a phenomenal story for AI and brand building - this guy has regularly spoken up about Palestine.
You can imagine the hate he will have gotten in return, so to still do this is extraordinary.
Also emphasises why we need to build more proper tech brands and companies.
The impact on changing lives is huge, as well as changing society.
But the influence that also comes from it puts it on another level.
Think of your brands as more than just profit generating enterprises.
Because they are so much more than that.
Especially at a time when we need to realign focus of brands legitimately uplifting humanity as opposed to destroying it as long as it makes a profit.

Your mind is an intricate maze, buried deep inside is the Minotaur...
...symbolic of fears, doubts, insecurities, anxieties, ego and self deceptions.
In today's world, one of the biggest self-deceptive Minotaurs is faux-outrage.
Getting angry, upset and worked up about everything and anything.
Not because it's entirely legit, but because it gets attention.
Even when it's legit, the Minotaur creeps up and turns sincerity into rage-baiting attention seeking.
Don't succumb. Reflect instead using the TECA framework:
Think
Evolve
Contribute
Ascend
Inner work and deep thinking is the only way to evolve.
Once you improve yourself, then you can contribute by helping others.
Done for the right reasons, and not for attention-seeking ego, is what leads to spiritual ascension.

Anytime I’ve not got to where I want to be…
…it’s been because I refused to change my habits & behaviours.
Thinking is easy.
Changing behaviour is hard.
Don’t default to believing strategising is progress.
Don’t think results will come without dealing with your internal Minotaurs.
Visibility won’t come without exposure.
Exposure is daunting alone.
Get the support you need to overcome these trainable issues.
The Minotaur Video Exemplar programme was built for this…message me.

There's a rise in Muslim brands, which is great to see.
However, there's an element to be weary of if you decide to do the same.
And that's you will be held to a higher standard, but also you'll attract comments from peeps who won't like the religion being used for branding purposes.
It's also down to how quite a few are doing it all wrong by utilising over-hyped American style marketing.
Might work in America.
Doesn't work in the UK.
Certainly doesn't align with many Muslims' standards.
This is not to discourage it from happening.
But to just be ready for judgment, even if your intentions are pure.
And to use the right type of marketing; because if not, the backlash will be severe.

Batley-maxxin' has become UK-maxxin' big time.
The UK Gov has just launched a new £500M venture fund for AI founders.
With a £1T tech market, the UK has the largest AI sector in Europe.
If you were looking for signals as to why be optimistic about the UK, these are it.
Naturally, it's not just about learning AI.
You need a cross-sectional skillset as mentioned the other day.
AI means nothing without a problem solving mindset first and foremost.
Solve real problems using AI - don't just use AI for the sake of using it.
Strong communication skills become paramount.
As does visibility - you can have the best AI product, but if hardly anyone knows about it, it's not going anywhere fast.
The quartet skillset we're focusing on with the Batley Entrepreneurship Club via Minotaur Video Exemplar and the recently agreed AI partnership:
- AI
- Problem-solving
- Communication
- Visibility
Register your interest here to get involved with AI initiatives - link below.
We'll be reaching out post-ramadan.

Great insight again thanks. Yes they say change doesn’t really happen until day 60+
I did 75-hard a few years ago, 75 days of activities including diet and 2 work outs a day etc. continued the gym for 90 days before lockdowns.
Another time I did 100 days in the gym in a row - the transformation doesn’t really hit until after day 65 for both times.
Works the opposite as well, with laziness and procrastination

They tell me it’s over for Muslims in the UK.
My LinkedIn feed has been full of wonderful iftaris happening up and down the country.
I’ve attended 3 this year:
- Manchester
- Bradford
- Batley
Every single one has been great.
Not only is there a lot of talent in our community; we have professionals and entrepreneurs at the highest level.
The above pics were taken at the Bradford iftar.
Lovely surprise to see Waqas Barbar in our ends all the way from Burrrmingham.
Shoaib Khan’s a kool-kat I met for the first time in Manchester and then again in Bradford.
And Naheem Khaliq - my former law firm partner - didn’t hesitate to take the opportunity to try and convince me to come back into law 😂
Shout out Rehan Ahmed of Quantuma for the invite again - and Rooful Ali for taking some amazing snaps 📸
I might still be in the minority, but I’m very optimistic about the UK.

Day 19 Minotaur Ramadan Challenge...
...no idea how I managed to stay disciplined yesterday but did it 💪🏽
Starters of fried pakoray, chips and juicy looking donner 😂
At one point I genuinely did think it was over, and was about to dig in.
But can't be a 'Minotaur' challenge if there's no difficult minotaur to overcome.
Discipline in one area, leads to discipline in other areas.
Diet challenge aside, this is more a mental discipline exercise.
With all the shizzle poppin' off around the world, can easily get lost without discipline - which tbf I have faltered with.
Last 10-11 days to go - not riskin' it with outside food anymore.

Day 18 Minotaur Ramadan Challenge and i've been on the ropes last couple of days.
Iftari dinner on Friday night wasn't too bad, albeit really tempted with the fizzy drinks.
Yesterday the family ordered take out food.
The pizza was calling to me like crack calls to an addict (so I imagine 😂)
Despite even my son tryna tempt; we stayed strong.
Final iftari dinner tonight, which hopefully should be the last big test.
So let's see.
How you getting along with your challenge?
https://blossom.primal.net/35c8dba4d8a5b55ae8c88ed758749f1485be123bc9b91e8dd150e6e5faad69c1.mov

Intelligent people and professionals are held back because they care about what people think.
I’m not sure if this was due to corporate programming or what.
But the fear stems from being judged by their peers.
It’s why you often see the “corporate, professional telephone voice” or demeanour which changes compared to how they are in person.
What holds them back further however, is not being able to admit to themselves they care about what people think.
And funnily enough they’ll be the ones with their chest out proclaiming they don’t care.
Recipe for disaster.
If you can’t admit to yourself you have an issue, how do you expect to fix it?
I speak from experience.
I used to say I don’t care what people think, when I clearly did.
Once I admitted it to myself, I was then able to work on doing something about it.
Honest self assessment is the first step.
Inner work is needed.
And then taking action to improve yourself.
If you need a systematic way to do this, send me a DM.
The Minotaur Video Exemplar programme will rip this out of you, and have you releasing videos to build your brand/project without being held back by what people think.

The UK is still one of the best places to be in the world right now.
I got quite a bit of stick for saying this previously.
But more and more people are starting to see it, and say it now too.
The AI scene is blowing up in London.
But it's not just reserved for London, it's in other parts as well.
Turning Batley, and the North of the UK in general into an AI tech hub is the vision.
Quite a few things in the pipeline.

Great insight. Thank you

662,316 views across social media in the last 90 days.
Big numbers to some.
Small to others that get those with one piece of content.
Context matters - comparison will always make you lose.
It's no good me telling others you are a media company, if I don't back it up myself.
I am a media company, and this is my media distribution.
I've been a bit of a hypocrite - telling others to focus on 2 platforms maximum.
Whilst i'm active on 5-7 (more considering different brand accounts).
2 is the right move (unless you have a team). You'll get better results faster.
But i'm taking a risk on a different strategy.
I have small pockets of "influence" on different platforms - which collectively are now adding up.
I've switched from trying to go viral, to organic targeted volume.
The people coming to the events are not from 1 platform; they're trickling in from the different platforms.
There's a strategy on getting "1000" true fans, and you'll be set.
1000 true fans in that context is 1000 people buying your product or service.
I'm not after 1000 true fans. I'm after 1000 true partners, collaborators, action-takers.
Attempting to curate a high-calibre network; rather than just a large network.
If each of those 1000 have just 5 other high calibre contacts in their network; then it becomes solid network of 5000.
Repetition. Reputation. Relationships.
Repetition of content, to build reputation, leading to solid relationships.
This is why I keep bangin' on about visibility and communication.
A few years ago I had neither visibility, network and below par communication skills.
So much so when I opened up a law firm, and started other businesses, they went nowhere.
I was technically good at delivering. But if there's no work coming in, there's nothing to deliver on.
So as a shy, social anxiety ridden introvert, I did the uncomfortable shizzle of learning how to become visible after decades of trying to hide from the spotlight.
Most smart, intelligent professionals are in the same boat.
Fantastic at operations, delivery and completing high level work.
Which is great when the work is given to you.
But what happens when you have to find the work, client, customer yourself?
It's the lack of visibility, network and relationships that will destroy you.
If you're ready to fix that, send me a message.
MVE exists specifically to help professionals & smart people become visible, build networks and attract opportunities.

I hear you, and can relate. Changing behaviour is hard to do, which is why it’s easy telling others to do it but not doing it to ourselves.
But you’re right. You just have to keep doing it and then attract the right people.
It’s a numbers game. I’m builsing a community right now, the majority turn up to events or when it requires not much effort. Very few are doing day to day work - the focus has to be on them

Yeah fair point. This is an issue. Which I think comes down to more adequate role models stepping up and showing the way. At the moment social media goes attention to the wrong people. Behavioural change is one of the hardest things to do

Every. Single. Time.
You’d think after the Epstein Files, it might be different.
But nope.
Only way to respond is to build yourself, build your community and build your own media.

Post-career era is upon us.
This is in part due to a generational shift.
Exacerbated by the advancement of technology.
Millennials were never comfortable with the traditional “career ladder”
Most checked out mentally.
They either started their own thing.
Or stayed in what became known as “quiet quitting”
But now with tech, there are so many more options.
The generations after won’t partake in a traditional career for long.
Most will elect to either do their own thing or work as part of a small team.
Work will fit around lifestyle, not the other way around.
Cross-dimensional skills will be paramount.
Focus on being an expert in your field but also:
- communication skills
- visibility; and
- AI

Only a matter of time before more people start to build locally for their communities.
Being online for long periods is a net negative.

Take the visibility offline.

Focus on building 3 things:
Self Esteem - the relationship with yourself
Confidence - the relationship with others
Communication - the bridge between the two
You need all three.
Most however neglect the first and work on the other two.
But if you don't focus on yourself and do the inner work, everything else collapses.
Esp. in an age where there are so many angry-birds online waiting to take digs in the comments of your posts, which unfortunately is the reason most choose not to put themselves out there.

This is the result of all those influencers and people that used Dubai as means to flaunt wealth, status and material success.
This will be the result for anyone that flaunts this; which happens a lot with online marketing.
The people ahead of you will lose respect for you.
Your peers will envy you.
The ones behind will resent you.
It’s bad energy you don’t need; and people will rejoice at your downfall when struggles come.
This type of marketing has becoming so dominant, that young people are following it and implementing.
Don’t do this.
Stay authentic.
Document the journey. Be you.
Share lessons learnt.
Build brand, reputation and goodwill for the long term.

The great disruption is on us, and we’re now already in the post-career era.
The traditional career route of school, university, profession, career ladder is over.
Having experienced that in the first part of my own career, that was already dying which is why I quit in the first place.
The post career era will be more individuals and small teams using AI and other skills to function as bigger outfits.
Which goes back to my video the other day about everyone now requiring cross-sectional skillsets.
The rate of change means bigger outfits will not keep up.
Therefore expecting them or anyone else to train you and prepare for this new future is folly.
You have to take ownership and train yourself across different areas.
You have to take ownership and lead yourself into different aspects.
(That is if the Epps-teeen Regime doesn’t wipe us all out before then)

Minotaur Ramadan Challenge Day 10 and we’ve had a wobble.
Despite the iftari dinner, still stayed away from junk food, fried food and fizzy drinks.
The gajrela however compromised the no dessert part of the challenge 😭
Nevertheless we continue.
Had a great time at the event though, met some amazing people, and had some great convos.
1/3 down - we move.

I've posted 94 times since the start of 2026.
But it's not 94.
It's 94 pieces distributed across 5-7 different platforms.
There'll also have been duplicate uploads on different brands on social.
So technically it's 500-650 posts in about 2 months.
No social media team.
No ghostwriters.
And even though I use AI, I don't use it for my written content because I like writing and prefer my writing style.
Videos are all scripted, recorded, edited, and uploaded by me too.
And I do my best to reply and respond to every single comment I receive.
Sadly I can't respond to every DM I get, just not feasible with all the spam and pitches.
There is nothing magical about what I do.
It's just volume, discipline and an efficient system.
The majority are now videos, which is crazy considering I started out with a fear of being on camera.
Which brings me onto the point of this post...
...I still hear from people say they've "tried" social media and it didn't work.
When I ask how many times they've posted and how long; it's like 1-3 times a week on ONE platform, for a month or 2.
Most severely underestimate how much work it takes to break through the noise today.
This isn't just about social media. It's about building any project, business or side hustle.
There's nothing wrong with posting 1-3 times a week on one platform - as long as your expectations change from immediate results to long term play.
The issue comes from two things:
- Demanding QUICK results
- Fear of visibility
The latter is the real issue for professionals.
So much to offer and so much to say, but held back by the fear of how they'll be received.
So they tentatively post occasionally, on the pretext they're busy.
Overcome this fear, and trust me, you'll be whackin' out more than me.
Esp considering you have a lot of value to offer (you just talk yourself out of it being valuable because of that fear).
Your journey is yours, and it will take a long time no matter how much these online gurus try to sell you quick fixes.
Do the work. Overcome your Minotaurs. Enjoy the process.

We’re now in a post career era.
You need cross dimensional skills on top of your main line of expertise.
In building BEC I’ve been trying to develop some of those skills as well as create a relevant asset for the future.
Only after doing it myself, can I then recommend and support others to do the same.
You are a media company on-top of whatever your industry is.
Communication skills are now essential.
Learning AI is essential.
Visibility is essential.
This is how you’ll keep your job and in fact become a magnet for opportunities.

Now I can’t unsee it.
Whilst this is tongue in cheek, the reason it hits because there is an element of truth.
I’ve been vocal about my experiences in the corporate world, I thought I was alone.
Turns out millions have been feeling the same, just never voiced it.
Boomers and Gen-X told you to get on with it.
Millennials, despite being deeply dissatisfied became split:
Some just carried on. Others tried to find alternate paths.
Gen-Z’s are already checked out from that system and are looking for different paths from the start.
Gen-Alpha are going to grow up in a world none of us can predict right now; most of us won’t even understand it.
What can be said however, is the corporate world won’t be the same in a few years time, let alone in a decade’s time.
How do you see it changing?

I was kindly gifted The Barakah Effect book by Sister Feride McNeilly at the event.
It’s one of the books I’ve started reading recently; so far very much in line with my way of thinking given my very public outbursts about modern day systems and culture 😂
However that’s for another day.
Actually wanna give a shout out to Feride.
She courageously chose to step up on stage at the event and speak in front of a live crowd for the first time.
She mentioned her journey of battling cancer.
Prior to the event she told me she’s 50-50 on whether she can even attend due to her health.
So to actually get up on stage and speak is a phenomenal achievement, esp when clearly stepping beyond a comfort zone.
But self development and encouraging people to improve in different ways is what we’re trying to do.
Not only that, since joining Batley Entrepreneurship Club, she has been one of the more active members since the first workshop (just look at those notes on the notepad 😁)
Ultimately this is what it’s about.
Local stories.
Local struggles.
Local improvement.
It’s a simple formula:
Learn. Evolve. Contribute. Ascend with actions that benefit beyond immediate personal gain.
That’s the Minotaur Mastery philosophy in action, applied locally through Batley Entrepreneurship Club.

First stage isn’t to find a problem and solve it.
First stage is self-reflection.
Figure out who you are, who you want to become, and the life you want to live.
I speak from experience.
I left a job I hated, and ended up building a business I hated - which was worse.
Once you’ve figured out what you want from a life perspective, then you work on the income model to fit it.
Otherwise you just continue chasing the hamster wheel in a different format.
That doesn’t mean it’s easy and you’ll get what you want.
But it will be easier to reach a target you’re clear on, and actually want because it suits you as opposed to what you think society will give you status for.
Is your career or project what you want and giving you the life you want to live?
If not, what needs to change?

“Do you even ACTUALLY help the local community?!”
I’ve received various versions of this since starting BEC; admittedly mainly from anonymous accounts online looking for an excuse to take a shot. 😂
So here’s one cool win:
Remember when we interviewed teenage, female, Muslim heavyweight boxer Malaika Atique?!
Well that video did great across platforms, esp TikTok and Facebook.
So much so, when Malaika attended the event a couple weeks ago, she was taken aback by the warm response she received from many other attendees who recognised her from that video.
Add in the international guest speaker Azam Jaafri who came all the way from Bahrain to Batley…
…met Malaika at the event, and has since kindly sponsored her via delicious, nutritious brand Foodery.
Considering the event itself was about “from local to global”, this is just the icing on the cake as a facilitation of that.

In a world obsessed with productivity hacks and morning rituals, the power of repetition and habit reinforcement is undeniable.
But consider this: if purifying rituals aim to elevate the soul for a return to the divine, then perverted rituals seek to corrupt it.
The E-Files have spiritual warfare at the heart of them.
They revealed a societal rot and cancer that's global in nature.
But this isn't just about worldly corruption; practitioners deeply believe in the spiritual consequences of their actions, whether purification or desecration.
Understanding this spiritual dimension is crucial.
Protecting your spirit and energy is paramount.
The forces at play are deeply rooted in spirituality, and there's a deliberate effort to steer people away from religion and spiritual awareness.
This is why you never hear about these aspects in business and brand building, and why they're pretty much footnotes in the education system.
Once you realise the same people who determine policy for the education and every other system, are the same people implicated in the files...
...you then understand why this has happened.
Whatever project, business, side-hustle, career you're building...
...spirituality has to be at the heart of it.

First real test passed. Although feeling dehydrated and groggy today.
Also had a BEC workshop - which didn’t go ahead as planned.
Turned into an open session instead.
With a few doctors in the club, I see a privatised health initiative coming out, esp. given the community challenges we face.
Next workshop next week on raising investment for beginners.

So many of us feel checked out, disconnected from the system. Why?
Apart from the fact that a group of criminal-pedos determine policy, structure, conflicts, media and so on...
...there is another reason:
We've stopped building for truth, justice, honor, dignity.
Our systems prioritize power, status, profit, greed.
We're meant to be caretakers, cultivators, establishing justice on Earth.
The modern day system is therefore in direct conflict with our natural and innate disposition.
How can you therefore NOT checkout?!

This dirty system has created a purposelessness crisis - how can it not?
The whole thing is designed for the majority to be economic slaves whilst the few at the top commit every act of debauchery unchecked.
The release of the files however flip that.

The names in the E Files need to be noted.
The influence they have on politics, wars, policy and so many other things need to be noted.
One name not being dragged enough is Peter Thiel.
You’re talking about connections and business dealings between billionaires, private military contractors, sex traffickers, leading political figures and companies with technologies that should send shivers down your spine.
Business isn’t simply about profit generation.
Corporations, companies and technology are used for nefarious means.
They are the real power brokers.

Unfortunately we are not taking this issue seriously enough as a community.
Huge respect to Asif here who has been open about his struggles with health.
This is a comment you need to read again and again.
As with most things, you won’t take action until the situation becomes dangerous.
By then, it could well be too late.
This is certainly an area where more role models need to step forward and influence the next gen the right way.
Brand building shouldn’t just be for profit…
…but for impacting the community in a positive manner.
Therefore more health conscious brands need to step forward and be supported too.
Especially because this requires deep-rooted behavioural changes; and therefore motivational and educational videos will not be enough.

Cleanliness is a huge part of our faith; yet we do have a littering issue in our communities.
One of the major pushbacks in the Batley food scene is the amount of rubbish that gets dropped in the streets after people go out to eat.
I discussed this with Phat Spuds, and NY Krispy owner Zahir Akbar, who said we need to take individual and collective responsibility for this.
He himself picks up any rubbish he sees with their branding, as that becomes a reputational issue.
The other food outlets are encouraged to do more as well.
Phat Spuds have an offer on this week ofr half term for all kids, with 99p meals; along with other offers.

The heart of today's systemic issues often lies within the financial and banking system.
This evil mofo explains a little about fractional reserve banking.
The concept is that for every dollar held by a bank, it can lend out significantly more, a reality that is difficult for many to grasp, including those outside financial circles.
This inherent mechanism, while functional, contributes to a sense of fraudulence and injustice within the global financial structure.
Participating in fiat currency transactions means engaging with this deeply ingrained system, a reality that impacts all aspects of our lives.
This is the beating heart of socieal decay, rot, corruption and all of the disgusting things revealed in the files.
So one thing you can do, is really understand the modern day banking and financial system.
Because if you truly grasp the extent of its corruption, there's only one conclusion you will come to:
It needs to be changed!

We are not angry enough.
The Epstein Files are not like every other “distraction” to be ignored, or brushed under the carpet.
They shake the foundational core of the society we are all living, and participating in.
If this doesn’t catapult you into action, nothing will.
And there’s plenty of action that can, and should be taken.
On an individual level.
On a community level.
And then on a global level.

The recent release of files unveils a disturbing network where powerful figures allegedly leveraged Jeffrey Epstein's role as a broker.
Evidence suggests this network, comprising billionaires, politicians, and royals, utilized Epstein not only for his financial services, including tax shelters and introductions to influential individuals, but also with knowledge of his criminal activities.
This points to a systemic issue where financial access and privilege have been prioritized over the safety of children.
The documents detail systematic trafficking and the exploitation of minors, highlighting a profound societal rot that warrants critical examination.

The Epstein files aren't just about a few individuals; they expose a deeper problem.
For the first time, we have undeniable proof that our system is rotten at its core.
This explains why we're seeing so much depression, mental health and so many other issues.
The rot starts at the top, impacting every level.
These are the people who govern, create policies, and build infrastructure.
It's not everyone, but there are enough in very influential positions, contaminating the entire system.
This was a small excerpt from the long video on why these files are important for everyone to take seriously; and the implications for global society as a whole.

The Epstein files aren't just about a few individuals; they expose a deeper problem.
For the first time, we have undeniable proof that our system is rotten at its core.
This explains why we're seeing so much depression, mental health and so many other issues.
The rot starts at the top, impacting every level.
These are the people who govern, create policies, and build infrastructure.
It's not everyone, but there are enough in very influential positions, contaminating the entire system.

Taken a while, but put together a lengthy video on the Epstein Files.
Like I mentioned in the short video the other day, I’m not sure why this isn’t being discussed way more given the gravity of the situation.
Nevertheless, the video covers:
1. Why i’m making this video
2. Processing the release from a psychological perspective
3. Background on how I became aware of this stuff
4. What it means on a global societal level
5. The occult
6. How we move forward & what we need to do

Got Azam Jaafri to also share some thoughts after the event.
The intention was to get some words about the event itself, but I got a motivational and massive confident-boosting pep talk on a personal level instead. 😁
(More on what that meant in future content).
When someone comes all the way from Bahrain, the first thing you feel is incredible gratitude, honour and blessings…
…but then you’re hit with pressure and responsibility to deliver.
This was made infinitely easier due to Azam’s down to earth approachable warmth and the respect he gives.
Respect which was reciprocated by the audience.
“These were genuine, global standard key-note speakers you got” - just one comment of many I received.
Azam confirmed he’s also going to push out more content again soon, which is great news as it will be highly beneficial for the community. 💪🏽

Caught up with Yousif Aslam after the event on Friday to get some final thoughts.
Even in this short clip you can see the calm eloquence coming through; which was magical on the stage earlier.
Legit happy to know we will be seeing more of Yousif in the coming months and years iA - exactly the type of role model the next gen. especially need to learn from.
If you get a chance to listen to him speak, take it!
He will be speaking again at the BPC event in Birmingham on Wednesday - get yourself down there.
I may re-arrange somethings to make it; get to soak it in without the pressure of hosting this time 😁

OVERWHELMED! Only word to describe the love, support, feedback, energy, enthusiasm received from yesterday's event.
So grateful and blessed with how it turned out.
There are just markers which help determine whether an event is successful or not:
The live feedback and comments you get
The electricity and buzz in the room
The audience focus on the speakers
The quality of the Qs being asked by the audience
And people not leaving the building!
People started arriving at 5.30pm - typically by 9.30pm there's a drop off in numbers, as people want to get home.
This time we had a packed crowd all the way until 10pm - where we literally had to throw people out of Batley Town Hall 😂
Need to tally up, but early indications suggest approx. 115+ turned up on the night - from far and wide.
I cannot thank these two gentlemen enough: Azam Jaafri & Yousif Aslam.
The chemistry and bond they have with each other is phenomenal, and collectively what they were able to deliver last night was impeccable.
Real lived experience, mixed with depth, intellect and eloquence; even when they were handed some excellent questions from the audience. I've told them both, they need to go around a do a tour for you all to benefit 😁
Huge thank you to EVERYONE that turned up and made it a memorable evening.
Huge thank you to the local businesses that supported: Chaiiwala Batley, Fouad Hachemi, Zahoor Sakharkar & Spices & Rices.
Huge thank you to the supporters and sponsors:
🎗️ Moduliv Limited (Saadat Khan)
🎗️ West Yorkshire Combined Authority
Huge thank you to Nasar Hussain for the personal support.
Huge thank you to the BEC members that had the courage to stand up and speak on stage.
And a massive thank you to ALL the volunteers & helpers. I fear missing someone out as there were so many, so won't name drop. But without you, these nights just cannot happen, and make it so much easier when it's hectic and mind is all over the place. 👏🏽
We've got a long way to go, but yesterday was a giant step forward 💪🏽

My boys wanted to watch SpongeBob at the cinema.
I’m like, I ain’t going to the cinema to watch no SpongeBob.
Convinced them to watch Avatar instead 🙌🏽
Not even 30 minutes in, the older one keeps looking at his watch saying when is this finishing (3 hour+ movie you know)
Got so bored he’s just wriggling around in his seat. Got the straw and starts tapping it against the plastic cup holder disturbing everyone. Huffs and puffs his way through.
The younger one starts crying because he found it too scary.
Not the win I thought it was.
Then came the kicker:
“When you taking us to watch SpongeBob” 😭
Bad selfish decision making never works out.

I don’t like to get political, esp. in this climate.
But the conversation went that way on the podcast I did with Ranjha Saab.
My response to the plethora of challenges we face today is to:
Build.
Build character.
Build career.
Build people.
Build society.
Build athletes.
Build projects.
Build business.
Build education.
Build community.
Most importantly, build yourself.
So that you can then be of service to building others.
But also automatically act as a role model in the process to guide the next generation to follow suit.
Complaining. Hate. Division. Negativity. Victimhood.
These are all ingredients that do the opposite of building.
Which is why my tolerance for them is very low.
That’s not to undermine or downplay the issues we clearly have.
But to encourage an action-based response in dealing with them; which everyone has the capacity to play a part in.
https://blossom.primal.net/9548d2d65d64a317dfbf535922791c7a4a8ed214186be01cb4f6d207b734ca4a.mp4

2026-01-09 19:22:52 UTC

The most anticipated trailer of the year is here! 😁
We started off with just a poster.
Which turned into a motion teaser.
Which has now become a full blown trailer.
Yes this is me test-driving different aspects of AI.
What can now be accomplished sitting in your bedroom as a hobby is phenomenal.
If this is beginner level work, what will expert level look like?!
Only people in Batley will notice more than others.
But here’s a challenge:
Can you guess the correct sequence of all the real places used in this trailer?
All right answers will be put inside a draw, with prizes for the selected winners. (I need to work out what those are yet, but free tickets to the event will be one).
Too much complaining in the UK is creating a sordid environment.
Whilst this video is spoofing around; there are some real challenges that need to be addressed.
Otherwise the future begins to look bleak for all and the younger gen.
Which in turn breeds a “what’s the point doing anything” attitude.
That needs knocking on its head.
Which is why we put together the Batley Entrepreneurship Club events we do.
And which is why you need to attend at the end of this month:
📅 Friday 30th January 2026
🕕 6pm

2026-01-09 18:03:07 UTC

The Teaser. Full trailer coming very soon 😁
I have a lot of fun dabbling with AI - away from just using ChatGPT.
Last time we created a poster. This time we’ve animated it.
For the trailer, gone and done a little more, just needs some final touches.
But there’s a reason for learning AI - it’s a future-proofing skill that’s only going to become more prevalent.
Especially when it comes to media, which is now an important component for every business and person regardless of industry.
Said it before, I’ll say it again; we will be seeing a lot of one-person businesses functioning like a team of 5-10 thanks to AI.
Err’one should be using some free time to experiment with it.
With that said, stay tuned for an exclusive BEC-AI announcement that’s currently in the pipeline, and one I’m really excited about.
For now though, make sure you’re booked on for an eagerly anticipated event at the end of the month:

How many times should you post content?
We went from 3-5 times a day to 20-30 times a day.
Sack what you hear online.
You do what you can given your individual capacity.
If you can do 2 x a week do that.
If you can do 30 a day then so it.
The main thing is to do it for the full year and beyond.
Most start enthusiastically, then can’t keep up, then quit.
Don’t let that be you.

TikTok is inception - content on here will seep into your mind and pop out when you least expect it.
The Dr Pepper tune has been ringing in my head since I saw that viral video.
That’s the power of branding and jingles.
It’s also the power of posting videos online.
It takes just one to pop off to change the trajectory of your life.
However far too many are still afraid of judgment and visibility.
Putting yourself out there can be daunting; you just have to get over this hurdle.
Get the support you need. Send me a message.

I aged early because of stress.
Firstly from the misery of being stuck in a job and career I legit hated.
Then starting a business and becoming a father at the same time.
One is difficult as it is, both together was, in hindsight, reckless.
However social media wasn’t what it is now back then.
There are so many opportunities and pathways; so much guidance available.
It’s now about execution.
Executing for a couple of years will open up so many options, to prevent regret for your older self.

😂😂 that’s the youngest someone has said so far. It’s mainly been 40 year olds saying they feel 21

2026-01-04 15:41:46 UTC

Last year I was 19, this year I’ll be turning 40.
Wtf is going on and how did this happen?!
Wasn’t going to post this on NOSTR, but the comments on TikTok were lively 😂
So much so that I’ve just been given so many content ideas, lessons & experiences to make more videos on.
Anyhow, to the 40+’s - how old are you really?! 😁

Real art contains so much depth.
The gents at Artz-I Islamic Gallery in Bradford shared some interesting thoughts about this particular piece created with a knife.
Artists may have historically struggled to make a living from their work.
The creator economy we have today changes all of that.
You can legitimately make a living income from your work, whether that’s paintings, music or whatever else.
This is the part of social media way more people need to tap into.
It doesn’t mean it’s easy.
But the path is there.
Create art.
Document the journey online.
Sell.
Not every side hustle, project or business needs to be AI, tech, professional services, food and the usual things people go into.
If you were not held back by your job, what creative hobby would you spend your time on?
One of my regrets was never starting to learn the violin even though I loved the sound of it.

Smashed out last gym session of 2025.
I thought the gym would be empty. It was not.
Great to see.
Strong finish to the year gym-wise. Need to maintain for the whole of next year.
Unlike most, I’m still very positive and optimistic about the UK, espesh because of the people I now come across working hard and making things happen.
Wishing you all a happy new year.

🗣️It’s New Year’s Eve, let’s take a day off.
Nah, let’s send out one more email.
Let’s send out one more post.
Truth be told, I wasn’t feeling it.
I was in the new year’s holiday mode.
But also knew it was the best time to send out another push, esp. with the early bird discount ending.
And voila, the signups have been comin’ in.
Still a few hours left for you to be part of the smart crew, and grab your early bird ticket before it’s too late.
Crazy to think Batley Entrepreneurship Club started with 3 people turning up on the first meeting.
Now we gather crowds of 100+ alhamdulillah.
Much work to do however, we’re nowhere near where we want to be, but the foundation has been laid this year to build upon in 2026 and beyond iA.

I’m still relatively new and inexperienced when it comes to organising events.
The first one in July got great feedback, but I was stressed before, during and after.
Truth be told, I was actually vexed after…so many things went wrong.
Second time around, with experience now, I expected things to go wrong. Or at least not the way I wanted them.
So when they weren’t going right, I wasn’t that bothered.
The thinking was “yeah these things happen at events, nowt you can do about it other than go with the flow and try to improve next time”
Now with this 3rd one, I’m quite chilled, maybe too chilled.
But then again, the previous two were planned and organised within 3 weeks; quite mad when you think about it.
This one has been organised a couple of months ahead, but also using a familiar pattern from before, and tweaking bits around.
I’m sure things won’t go exactly as planned, but overall it will work out iA.
Nevertheless, here’s another image of AI dressing me up on stage…I’m not quite sold on the boots 😂
Anyhow, the early bird tickets expire in 2 days time.
So get yourself registered.

Had a good time at the Artz-I Islamic Art Gallery in Bradford last week.
An event organised by Emerald Network and Rooful Ali.
So much history, culture and heritage contained within art, something we need to focus on in this AI age.
Had a really good conversation with the owners, so many wonderful initiatives to have when it comes to art and artists.
Always good catching up with Amrein N and Mohammed Pakwashee.

Step 3 - flex online 😁
Tbh, this is what I feel I need to look like to fit in with the two tanks on stage next month 😂
Well it’s not happening by next month, but iA if I keep consistent with the gym, maybe next year 💪🏽
Ended the year well, been to the gym consistently for the last 16 weeks. Need to make sure it continues all of next year.

Scary truth: the constant whinging, moaning and complaining is making the UK, and towns like Batley, feel worse than it actually is.
So much so that, bitchin’ has become a monster.
It’s one of the biggest Minotaurs we’re facing right now.
And honestly, it’s exhausting.
I’m just starting to zone out as soon as I sense negativity.
However, I think we need to go one step further and call upon a Slayer to vanquish this miserable-mentality.

Batley’s in the Christmas spirit.
Even Batley Town Hall is lit up.
It’s certainly going to be lit on 30 January 2026 when we have the next Batley Entrepreneurship Club main event.
Get yourself registered because it’s going to be a biggie.
