AI is going to mess a lot of people up. Some are already losing their mind. Many more will too of appropriate steps arent taken. Internal work first + external execution second. Conquer the internal Minotaurs in the maze of your mind. Conquer the external Minotaurs in the maze of your life. The Minotaur Mastery way: https://minotaurmastery.com

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! 🥳🎉🎈🎊

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.

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.

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. For now, register your interest below:

Day 16 of the Minotaur Ramadan Challenge - keepin' up with no junk food, no fried food and no fizzy drinks. But the real big test comes today, with the iftari dinner at Aagrah in Bradford. Shout out to Rehan Ahmed & Quantuma for the invite. Let's hope temptation is resisted. Let me know if you'll be there tonight, will be good to catch up.

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.

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 was another video lost in drafts, but resurrected and edited by my 9 year old 😁

Minotaur Ramadan Challenge Day 12 and we continue. Really craving the samosas today; will be challenging to refrain. Less about the diet now, and more about developing discipline. Discipline in one area leads to discipline in other areas. Something we're all going to need with the idiotic war that's been started.

People in Dubai are getting a lot of heat and mocking when there should be sympathy. 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.

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.

No caption necessary.

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.

Day 6 of the Minotaur Ramadan Challenge, and we had our first hiccup 😭 It’s a contentious issue which will need some expert intervention. What do you think? Am I disqualified, or can we continue?!

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.
