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
📅 Friday 30th January 2026
🕕 6pm
🏫 Batley Town Hall

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.
https://blossom.primal.net/e40097dc74af02c7002584805d65c5aba5cf9d40b2ab4aa385dbe1bbf66b3b21.mov
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.

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:

Not sure how they do their studies, but it’s a travesty that Batley wasn’t on this list 😁
Not to worry, the happiest place to live in Britain is still a YORKSHIRE town.
And you can come to get a taste when we have our next exclusive Batley Entrepreneurship Club event:
BEC - Building Global Ventures

😂😂 that’s the youngest someone has said so far. It’s mainly been 40 year olds saying they feel 21
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?! 😁
https://blossom.primal.net/31434aa0ea236a103c92932619d737fb051b03880c0338fbd97888fe7f6a1629.mov
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.
https://blossom.primal.net/b73f2cfb13dc75a87803d5a189501d751cdf59928fca50a75c89e11335329386.mov
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.
https://blossom.primal.net/f924acd4ead97be2a3683eedc012e6535553eb19f51d04b88cfc53b796b5325c.mov
🗣️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:

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

The early bird tickets expire at the end of this year, so just a few days left:
https://batleyentrepreneurshipclub.com/events/building-global-ventures
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.

Scary truth: the constant whinging, moaning and complaining is making the UK, and towns like Batley, feel worse than it actually is.
So much so that, bitchin’ has become a monster.
It’s one of the biggest Minotaurs we’re facing right now.
And honestly, it’s exhausting.
I’m just starting to zone out as soon as I sense negativity.
However, I think we need to go one step further and call upon a Slayer to vanquish this miserable-mentality.
Enter, The Bitcher 🐺
A Batflix Original. 😂
Some will say this is AI, they livin’ in fantasy land.
Either way, the first slayin’ is happening soon:

Highlights of our night out at the Callum Simpson v Troy Williamson fight.
https://blossom.primal.net/0662512701145ada57c793f4419b314a6b6ddd189810c349a8ccffd963d1b65c.mov
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 💪🏽

So much so we’re actually quite light on the Batley/Dewsbury side 😂.

By then it might be too late, certainty for the early bird tickets.
I haven’t even gone into full promotion mode yet, with it being 6 weeks away.
Just a reminder, Batley Town Hall is limited in number.
The early bird tickets are even more limited, espesh considering how many have gone already.

Thanks for the message. I actually agree with that.
I think that line doesn’t have the context in this post. It was more for those in my community and those saying “there’s no opportunities out there”
But they’re not going out, speaking to people, putting out content - doing nothing. That message was for those people, if you want opportunities to come to you, you need to make effort to get out there and get known.
If you already know what you’re doing, and have picked a path, then 💯- go all in on that and optimise.

💥 Official speaker announcement: From local roots to global operations...
...Batley Entrepreneurship Club welcomes Yousif Aslam.
Co-Founder and Managing Director of Heavenly Desserts.
The title of this talk is:
Local Foundations. Global Operations.
Heavenly’s Zero-to-Sixty Trajectory.
Yousif's story will resonate with a lot of people.
His father, like mine, was a taxi driver: a generation that legit struggled with hard graft to give the following gen. a platform to excel.
I think it's safe to say Yousif did take that platform, continued the graft, to excel:
Heavenly Desserts opened in 2008 from local roots & humble beginnings in the Midlands - when we had a financial crisis.
For 2 years, in his own words, it was "dead" - but eventually the brand, reputation and culture began to grow.
They now have a whoppin' 60+ locations across the UK (including BATLEY); and 4 internationally with more due to open soon, including Canada, Germany, Pakistan & India.
Aside from Heavenly Desserts, Yousif sat alongside Lord Sugar as a guest panellist on the BBC's Apprentice Final.
Yousif represents a masterclass in patience, discipline and getting the foundations right before scaling...
...making this talk invaluable for people across the spectrum on their business journeys.

#WhereOpportunityLives
I’m going to be sharing the stage with two absolute tanks in January iA…
…my current average of gym 3x a week might not be enough to stop me looking like a dweeb in comparison 😂
Jokes aside, it’s been a struggle trying to maintain a gym routine whilst parenting 3 kids and building an unusual project which has so many moving parts to it.
Only now about 3 months later am I starting to feel good.
They say starting is the hardest part, which just isn’t true.
Starting is easy.
Carrying on when you’re not seeing or feeling the results is the hard part.
This especially applies to building a project, business or side hustle.
So many get excited at the start, jump in, then stall when realising how hard and slow it is - espesh when you can’t tangibly see the progress being made
That’s just the price of admission - so keep going.
For now, keep an eye out for the official announcements about the 30 January Batley Entrepreneurship Club event…
…and get to the gym.
