Why this new Twitter feature could work well. I think other platforms need to implement something similar, especially LinkedIn where the AI comments are out of control.

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.

Twitter Gym bros were banging on about this years ago. Also trying out this new Twitter feature of replying with videos

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.

Mark your calendars: 📆 Wednesday 22 July 2026 ⏰ 18:00 🏛️ Batley Town Hall If you missed the announcement yesterday, worry not, here's the video one about the next Batley Entrepreneurship Club Event: Find A Way - From Written Off to Top of the World: An Evening With Johnny Nelson MBE Secure your place now: https://batleyentrepreneurshipclub.com/events/find-a-way Once again, a big thank you to the supporters and sponsors for this event: - Ashrock Estates (Shahrukh Ali) - Schofield Sweeney Solicitors (Farooq Zar) - West Yorkshire Combined Authority - Chaiiwala Batley Make sure you are there.

It's a BIG one...we've onleh gone and got Johnny Nelson MBE coming to Batley! 🥊 Yes…theeee national icon, former world champion and Sky Sports pundit Johnny Nelson MBE will be our special guest speaker at the next Batley Entrepreneurship Club event. The theme of this event is aptly named: Find A Way: From Written Off to Top of the World. Johnny is known for holding the record as the longest-reigning cruiserweight world champion of all time. But before he reached the top of the world, he lost his first three professional fights. A couple more losses, and the boxing career may well have been over. Instead he found a way, despite being completely written off early on. Similarly, small towns like Batley are written off. People trying to build businesses, projects and careers, especially in the North of the UK in today’s climate, are often written off too. And so we too must find a way regardless, making Johnny's raw, real-world story incredibly relevant for our times. What an honour to bring this level of prestige straight to Batley. It's goin' to be another fabulous evening: 📆 Wednesday 22 July 2026 ⏰ 18:00 🏛️ Batley Town Hall Secure your place now: https://batleyentrepreneurshipclub.com/events/find-a-way Huge shout out to the supporters and sponsors for this event: - Ashrock Estates (Shahrukh Ali MRICS) - Sweeney Solicitors (Farooq Zar) - West Yorkshire Combined Authority - chaiiwala Batley This is Batlehh, where things happen…and it’s happening on July 22! #WhereOpportunityLives #Batley #YorkshireBusiness #FindAWay

Just some Arsenal fans in enemy territory at Manchester United, one day before the Champions League final 😁 Had a great time at the Uniteid Event organised by Rooful Ali of Emerald Network and Aatif Majid of Halal Expo Manchester 2026. Something different. Never been to Old Trafford before. More importantly met some amazing people. Also had a good catch up with Rooji The Foodie, Amrein N and Azeam Akram. Said it before a gazzillion times, the UK when the weather is good is something else. So many cool people doing cool things, up and down the country. Issue is trying to keep up with all these events 😂 For now, you can imagine the excitement in an Arsenal household today. ⚽️

Internal work first. External execution second. Transitioning from employment to entrepreneurship is less skill, and more psychological. Not just a pattern I’ve noticed in others, but myself first and foremost. The issue is, most of us focus too much on the skill, strategy, tools, techniques, plan… …everything except the psychological blockers which actually move the needle. AI doesn’t change this equation. In fact, makes it worse. Are you prepared to do the internal work? Are you prepared to expose yourself through immense discomfort? Are you prepared to show up, looking like an amateur, but keep going anyway? Most are not. Most will struggle to adapt to the post-career AI era. It’s not as simple as failure vs cowardice. It’s deep rooted psychological conditioning. Tapping into behaviour and identity - the two most difficult things to change - the two biggest Minotaurs you as a career professional will face. And that’s what https://minotaurmastery.com is about.

Eid Mubarak. Have an awesome day.

Some highlights of yesterday’s Batley Entrepreneurship Club event. Nicely taken and put together by Amrein B (who’s also always provided so much help and support every time there’s been an event).

The ladies absolutely smashed it up last night at Batley Town Hall! 👏🏽 Ngl I was nervous about this one myself, with it being the first female panel we've had at a Batley Entrepreneurship Club event. But the feedback, love, support, energy from the crowd was fantastic. The really positive thing, it wasn't just the women that were inspired; so many men provided glowing praise as well. A fair few teenagers and young people in the room were buzzin' too. A big THANK you to Annissa Mohsin, Sobiya Jawaid and Rooji The Foodie talking about their journeys and sharing their unique insights. Feedback included people saying they were happy to hear the vulnerable, difficult parts rather than just the good things. It takes a lot of courage to be vulnerable on stage in front of lots of people - approx. 88 turned up on the night from 107 registrations. Huge thank you to EVERYONE that attended - once again people travelled from far and wide to lil ol' Batley 😂 Huge thank you to the local businesses that supported: Chaiiwala Batley, Zahoor Sakharkar & Spices & Rices. Huge thank you to the supporters and sponsors: 🎗️ CK Foods (Omar Bhamji) 🎗️ West Yorkshire Combined Authority Shout out to the BEC members who also took the stage about their projects. And a massive thank you to ALL the volunteers & helpers who make nights like this happen. This is Batley, where things happen...and it happened last night!

We are just 3 days away! 3 sensational stories. Superstars in the audience. Electric energy in Batley. Make sure you are there: 📆 Friday 8 May 2026 ⏰ 18:00 📍 Batley Town Hall https://www.batleyentrepreneurshipclub.com/events/the-toll-it-takes

Doing events is great training for entrepreneurship. It's chaos which you need to bring into order. You can plan as much as you want, but when an event starts you just roll with it, as things don't actually go to plan. The first event, naturally was the most stressful. Didn't really know what I was doing. Tried to make plans for every single little thing. When things deviated, the stress just increased. So when the speaking finally began, and the microphone stopped working, well...it was not comfortable at all having so many silent faces staring at you waiting 😂 Experience means letting go. Because what you're letting go is the need for perfection, which means letting go of stress. The irony being, if it is too formal, too perfect, too scripted, it becomes less relatable. That's why we don't enforce dress codes or any other expectations. You come as you are. You meet people as you are. You build relationships for who you are. None of that pretentious chest-forward, polished drivel you get at most networking events. It's just a vibe and an experience which you can be part of, 3 days to go.

Potential means nothing. Expression means everything. Communication is the number one skill you need to develop. Historically you got away with being a quiet professional. In the post-career era quiet professionals will be the first to go. Learn to speak up. Learn to become visible. Learn to function as a media company.

"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: https://batleyentrepreneurshipclub.com/events/the-toll-it-takes

Personal brand no. Media company yes. Social media has changed. Most of the feeds are now unbearable with AI slop. You’re posting into a jungle. Strategic content distribution across platforms is the play. Volume compounds. The formula: Repetition. Reputation. Relationships.

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.

Some people build empires just so they don’t have to go home to a quiet room. We call it ambition. Most of the time, it’s just a specific form of modern sedation.  You use constant work and "building things" as a high-status distraction to avoid internal confrontation.  The inability to be alone with yourself is a classic "Internal Minotaur" It’s a fear wrapped in a suit that keeps you trapped in the maze of busyness. I stayed stuck in a legal career I hated, and then sedated with movies, computer games and tv shows before trying to build something. Didn’t work. Internal peace must come before external execution. Otherwise, your external results will always lead to internal dissatisfaction.  The vicious cycle repeats keeping you trapped in the Minotaurs Maze. Master your Minotaurs. Master yourself.  Escape the maze of modern sedation: https://minotaurmastery.com  Think. Evolve. Contribute. Ascend.
