Bad dieting is one of my biggest regrets in life.
It’s the reason I too often look and feel 59 despite being 39.
Too many are making the same mistake.
Forget compound interest from a financial perspective…
…be more worried about compound interest from a bad diet perspective.
Because it will catch up to you.
This Ramadan I’ll be iA doing my own Minotaur Ramadan challenge:
- No junk food
- No fried food
- No desserts
- No fizzy drinks
Join me in doing the same 💪🏽
Ramadan Mubarak!

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.
You won't understand it. Don't try to.
Find your tribe of people intead, to keep yourself sane.

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.
Discussed more in detail:


Batley needs more healthier options.
I assumed Phat Spuds only did Jacket Potatoes - turns out they do a lot more.
Here, I dig into some mixed steak - although I did end up gettin' it with chips.
I'm no food reviewer infloooansaaahh 😂 - so can't explain it like they do...
...but I can say it genuinely was really nice.
The food scene in Batley is bangin'
I spoke with Phat Spuds owner Zahir Akbar about this and other interesting things.
Check out the full vid on YouTube.
I sat down with Phat Spuds Batley owner, Zahir Akbar.
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.
Phat Spuds have some offers on for half term next week:
- 99p meals for kids
Other offers include 10% discounts for students, NHS staff...and 10% off for the general public between the hours of 11am-3pm.

When you first encounter harsh realities, it's natural to go through disbelief and denial.
This often leads to discomfort, then despair.
But despair leads to inaction.
This video is about channeling that outrage into fuel for change, helping you stay sane and take meaningful action without losing hope.
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.

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

Two days later, I’m still drained!
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 💪🏽
#ThisIsBatley


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

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

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.
