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.

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.

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.

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.
A more detailed breakdown here:
https://minotaurmastery.com/professional-visibility-why-you-must-become-a-media-company-instead-of-a-personal-brand/

Your work doesn't speak for itself. It never will.
The longer you keep hoping it does, the longer you'll remain overlooked. So what do you do?
Stop thinking personal brand. Start thinking media company.
Because you are a media company no matter what your industry or field of expertise is.
You need to start behaving like it.
I repeat, there are 5 key skills you need to stay relevant in the AI age at minimum:
- Expertise in your field
- Proficiency in AI
- Problem-solving
- Communication
- Visibility / Distribution
This applies to individuals, whether employee or entrepreneur, and businesses whether big or small.
Being a media company doesn't just take care of the bottom two.
It will amplify you as an expert in your craft, force you to learn AI, and get your problem-solving skills to work.

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.

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.

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

2026-03-05 16:37:55 CET

Every. Single. Time.
You’d think after the Epstein Files, it might be different.

But two potential difficulties on the horizon this week with iftari dinners.

So much bullshit on all sides.
But I’ve also seen intelligent pieces from both sides suggesting both parties are winning.
We’ll just never really know.

Life in the UK:
Calm
Peaceful
Pleasant weather
Life on online:
The world’s burning.
Only a matter of time before more people start to build locally for their communities.
Being online for long periods is a net negative.
Use it to get visibility.
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.

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.

Nah. The few obnoxious and arrogant ones should not reflect everyone else. There are hard working and good people over there, who e kept their head down and just worked to provide for their families. This post is more about flaunting online.

2026-03-01 16:46:16 CET

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.

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?

2026-02-24 21:26:10 CET

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.

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.

Part 2 of 2 - What should be the response to the Epstein files
Following on from the last part, this goes into more detail about ultimate self development:

2 - Become physically strong and fit
3 - Build skills, experiences & connections
And then connect and collaborate with others doing the same.

Part 1 of 2 - What should be the response to the E files.
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.
Now every single person should be lit up with purpose - bring these morons to justice, and clear the cancer of this dirty system.

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.
You either build stuff to counter this, or become enslaved by it.

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.

Protecting your mental health is paramount.
The release of the E Files will desroy your mental health very quickly if you're not careful.
But another, less talked about aspect, which will be equally destructive, if not more...
...is seeing how the world, and people, just carry on as normal, as if nothing has happened.

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.

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.

We talked about the food scene in Batley, which is booming, along with the community initiatives Phat Spuds are doing.
We discussed the competition of food places in Batley, as well as the need for healthier options...and even touched upon the littering issue.
Zahir also provided some advice and insight to the younger generation looking to start a business in this climate.

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.

When you first encounter harsh realities, it's natural to go through disbelief and denial.
This often leads to discomfort, then despair.

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.

Nevertheless, the video covers:

3. Background on how I became aware of this stuff
4. What it means on a global societal level
5. The occult

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 💪🏽

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

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

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 16:41:46 CET

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.
Howevahh, it’s gona be an extravaganza in Batlehh next month:
BEC - Building Global Ventures

Content is like seeds.
I posted about this the other day: you just have to keep planting, rather than seeing content as a transaction.
Eventually they’ll sprout in the future.
Prime example was the 2 DM exchange I had with Ranjha Saab on TikTok.
We swapped numbers, I got invited to his house - which is just crazy when you consider it was a couple of DMs.
But the truth is, it wasn’t. It was months of seeds being planted with the consistent content I saw from him.
I already feel like I know, like and trust him, and that we’re going to get along well based off of seeing that content.
Which is the whole point of playing the long game, and being yourself online.
It becomes infinitely easier to connect with people.
Looking forward to recording this kick-ass podcast tomorrow 💪🏽

Highlights of the London trip this weekend.
I wanted to do a road trip travel-vlog style documentary - but the lads were having nothing of it 😂
Managed to sneak in these tid bits here and there.
It was packed with so much more, naturally all the best parts were off camera.
Just an overnight stay, but felt much longer considering all we got through.
London might as well be another country compared to the Norff. But it’s got a vibe of its own.
They tell us it’s dangerous. We were walking around at 1am no issues. Even saw a hijabi lady walking out by herself that late!
Not to say there aren’t issues, but like I have been saying for a while - the UK is a great place and not as bad as being made out.
When you connect with the right people, you feel the difference.
Spending time with these gents was great, but so was meeting all the new people as well - so many positives and so many opportunities in the UK.
Make an effort to genuinely be positive, you’ll be surprised how positive things begin to surround you.
Credit to:
Nasar Hussain for the invitation, which doesn’t even happen without the amazing work that was done behind the scenes for the last decade culminating in the charitable project in Balochistan.
Sadaat Khan for providing exemplary company, and who has a phenomenal project of his own.
Wajid Arif and his company Luxe Executive Travel for an unforgettable experience of cruising around London city in a Rolls Royce Ghost.
Two young guns and future stars Aydin Hussain & Zain Yaqub who soldiered through with youthful energy.
And of course Islamic Relief UK for putting together an amazing event.
To end with some words of wisdom from Dr Hany, especially if you’re feeling despondent and dead:
“A man who loves life will live forever.
A woman who loves life will live forever.
Never lose hope and never stop loving.”
(can’t do justice because Dr Hany’s delivery was impeccable - but you get the gist)

Spent the day in Preston yesterday with my bro Saadat Khan unveiling this incredibly impressive modular home.
The quality, design and build is just fantastic.
This is a serious solution to the housing problem in the UK and beyond - and so you’ll be hearing a lot about Moduliv Homes iA.
No planning permission required to install these; and you can stack 3 more blocks on top of this one.
The speed in which these can be put together, compared to traditional construction, is extraordinary.
The list of benefits can go on. But that’s for another time.
This is something you just want to be involved in if you’re a property developer, investor or looking to buy a home.

Ngl…for a long time I was the first (although the talking was mainly to myself in my head).
Transitioned into the latter, and it’s been brutal.
Academics and employment are also the former. Whilst they come with their own challenges, it’s still relatively safe because you have teachers/managers to guide you.
Doing your own thing removes all of that safety, comfort and guidance.
What I’m noticing a lot, espesh since starting the Batley Entrepreneurship Club, is that people want to build their project, side hustle or business whilst staying comfortable.
It just doesn’t work.
You have to go through pain. And there’s a lot of it.
Far too many are giving the “it’s so easy to make a milli” vibe; far too many are falling for it.
You’ve heard it often, growth comes from discomfort.
So if you want to stay comfortable how do you expect to grow and get results?
This doesn’t just apply to those in employment looking to start a biz.
It also applies to those that have gotten to a comfortable level in their business.
The next stage of growth for a comfortable entrepreneur is acquisitions or becoming a venture builder/fund.
Both of which are very difficult and brutal.
Whatever stage you’re at, there is always another level. And getting to that level means extreme discomfort for a period of time.
It’s easy to talk about ideas.
It’s hard to execute them.

“People surely won’t marry AI?!”
I’ve had many conversations about why BEC exists, and why Minotaur Mastery exists, although the latter has been getting less attention.
Many that have spoken with me will attest to how I mentioned the next gen will have full blown relationships with AI, and even marry AI.
I’ve put out many posts about it too.
Some took it seriously.
Most just brushed it off.
This threat is real.
It’s already happening.
Real world community is now paramount; hence I’m giving Batley Entrepreneurship Club so much energy.
Anyone that’s known me from before knows how much I disliked going out.
My preferred state was to be quiet, alone, in-doors.
It’s not an option anymore.
The next gen needs to be encouraged to be way more social, build communication skills, interact OFFLINE.
That doesn’t mean disregard online - but use it for the right purposes.
Which comes back to the idea and importance of the right role models stepping up.
I’ve been banging on about this for a very long time now.
But there’s still a reluctance from many that should be putting themselves out there, just not doing it.
One of the main reasons is being uncomfortable on camera and creating content.
Video content from “real” people is the most important brand in a world that will be full of AI deception.
You need to build that brand and trust now; doing so later will have people question if it’s real or AI.
Even more-so if you’re smart, intelligent, and have a lot of potential to offer the right type of guidance.
The Minotaur Video Exemplar programme unlocks all of this. Send me a DM with “MVE” to forge you into becoming an impact-making brand.

Dirgh Suri came all the way from Birmingham to attend the Batley Entrepreneurship Club network launch event.
He shared a few words about his thoughts on the evening here.
Dirgh is Head of Sales & Marketing for Giro Foods, a company doing £30M+ based in the Birmingham ends.
It’s a real pleasure to have individuals of this calibre from big companies down south come up to Batley.
There’s a lot of scope for business and opportunities for Batley and the surrounding areas with the bigger cities.
Gatherings like this open gateways for collabs to happen.
Keep your eyes peeled, plans for next year arw being laid.

Isobel Townend of Heeleys attended the Batley Entrepreneurship Club Network Launch event and had these words to say.
Heeleys are doing some great work for Batley, and will be fully up and running in the summer of next year.
However, they are still doing some amazing things already, with the exciting upcoming Narnia Festive market taking place this December.
Been telling y’all there’s good things happening in Batley with good people working hard behind the scenes.
So many things to look forward to and get behind.
This is Batlehhh, where things happen!

I’ve never been to a boxing match - I plan on going to my first one this December.
Whilst Callum Simpson hails from Barnsley…
…he actually trains in BATLEY!
Yep, you read that correctly. That makes him a “Batley Badman” in my book 😂
Espesh with his record of being undefeated in 18 fights, 13 of those knockouts.
You’ll actually be surprised by the boxing talent in Batley (I was myself).
But that’s a story for another day.
For now, if you fancy coming along for this fight in Leeds, hit me up.

Attended my first ever Black Tie event yesterday (yes really).
Wasn’t sure what to expect but ended up having a great time.
Huge about to Shahrukh Ali and Moinul Islam, not only for the invitation, but looking after me really well all evening.
These guys at Ashrock Estates are doing some phenomenal work, with big things to come too iA.
Had a brilliant convo throughout the evening, and connected on a deeper level.
I’ve been seeing Shahrukh on social media; who also came to the first event we did at Batley Library.
But yesterday was the first time really sitting down and speaking - and there were just so many shared values.
They also kindly offered to support the Batley Entrepreneurship Club with the plans for next year.
As for the event itself, was really insightful and inspiring to see the work that the Parklane Foundation are doing.
Met some amazing people, and just further cements the idea that there is so much opportunity and so much good happening in the Northern part of the UK.

Man started by sh** posting on Twitter.
Had an alter-ego / pseudonym for his rap career.
And then went on to become Mayor of New York due to his social media activity.
The key thing to look at here is the date.
5-15 years of social media activity.
Some of you try social media for a few weeks/months, get no traction and give up.
Social media, used correctly, will 💯 change the trajectory of your life if you intend it to….
…but you have to think in terms of YEARS, not months.
Too many have been influenced by the “make money quickly” crowd.
You have to understand the marketing principle that gets taught a lot:
“Make it sound so easy and so quick that anybody can do it; because if you make it sound hard, nobody will buy”
So all of these online courses and programmes get sold using this “tactic”
People then sign-on, realise it’s hard and takes time, give up - and that’s why so many courses are considered scams.
This is also the reason why we need better role models stepping forward, creating content, and providing realistic insight on what it really takes:
- Hard-work
- Discipline
- Time!
Expectations need to be realigned so people starting their side-hustles, projects, businesses understand it is going to take a lot of time.
The first part, the hardest part, is getting attention and getting known…
…which starts with creating content for a consistent period.
Not every post needs to be business-educational - inject your personality, lifestyle, hobbies and interests.
Be you first.
Build your skillset.
Build your network.
And then go from there.

Errr’one talking about AI. Nobody talking about quantum computing.
If this is what it can do to one of the “securest” technologies in existence; imagine what it can do with everything else.
AI combined with quantum computing - we ain’t readeh.
Buckle up buttercup, we in for a wild ride…
Real world communities and local projects are now more important than ever on so many levels.
Continue building online, but take it offline and make it local.
BEC is practicin’ what I’m preachin’
Build yourself first
Become visible
Build your community thereafter
