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.

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 🏫 Batley Town Hall Register here:

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: BEC - Building Global Ventures 📅 Friday 30th January 2026 🕕 6pm 🏫 Batley Town Hall Register here:

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.

Haters will say it’s fake. Real G’s will know Batley is Box-Office Broadway… …and so will register here:

The anonymous feedback received for the Content & Personal Branding workshop recently delivered was very good. The recording is now available, which is available to all here:

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.

Whether people like to admit it or not, this is the biggest thing holding them back. Don’t let that be you. Make 2026 the year you stop caring what people think. Get after it.

🗣️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. Howevahh, it’s gona be an extravaganza in Batlehh next month: BEC - Building Global Ventures 📅 Friday 30th January 2026 🕕 6pm 🏫 Batley Town Hall So get yourself registered:

Ohh and happy new year 🥳

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.

Sum’body must’ve given my “evil-eye” when posting that AI-generated muscle pic the other day…. …tweaked my back today, after a solid gym session, picking up my youngest😭😁 So here’s another AI-generated pic, this time of how I should dress better. What y’all think of this fit? Does it suit me?! Whilst my back is in recovery and whilst I continue taking fashion tips from AI, make sure you do one thing… …register for a spectacular night happening in Batley next month: 📆 Friday 30 January 2026 ⏰ 18:00 🏫 Batley Town Hall The early bird tickets expire at the end of this year, so just a few days left:

How to get pumped without any effort: Step 1 - upload picture Step 2 - prompt AI to make you look muscular 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. Anyhow, to see me “flex” on stage next month, at the exclusive Building Global Ventures Batley Entrepreneurship Club event, make sure you register.
