I listened to Erika Kirk’s full speech at the memorial, and I want to share a few thoughts that came to me while live streaming the event. This is not political.
First, I should say that I grew up as a Muslim in a Muslim country. I don’t know enough about Christianity to say if what I witnessed is rooted in faith or culture. But what struck me most was how, even though death is heavy and this was by nature a sad occasion, the entire event carried a celebratory spirit that honored life.
That contrast hit me deeply. In Islam, even though we believe that good people go to heaven, the relationship with God is taught through fear. Funerals are overwhelmingly sad, often filled with warnings of the terrifying first night in the grave. Growing up hearing that, and then witnessing people celebrate life, speak of God’s love, and remember someone through the impact he had on others; it felt so refreshing, so positive.
Second, I was profoundly moved by @MrsErikaKirk’s words. I cannot fathom the strength it takes to stand and deliver such a meaningful speech after losing the love of your life. But even more than that, the grace it takes to forgive the very person who destroyed your world. I cannot imagine myself standing on a stage, sending love to those who cheered your husband’s murder, or inviting others to spread God’s love in response because, as she said, “we do not respond to hate with hate.” That is powerful beyond words.
Again, I am ignorant when it comes to Christianity, but if this is what it truly embodies, then I am envious of those who get to experience that feeling.
Spoke to a guy who makes $10,000 month on YouTube.

No website
No complex funnels.
All you need is a Youtube account and a niche that you love and consistently post about.
I have worked out 322 days in a row.
Can I keep this up?
I learned something new about maybe 322 days ago. I am an all or nothing person. Consistency matters, even if it's small like 100 push-ups per day

test, test, test. Working to bring the spend down to .50 per "active" user and helping them "own their future" with the True Finance money app 🚀
Imagine you are now on stage to make a pitch.
You ask "who is in the market for a new car?"
Or - "how about tires?"
Or - "how about furniture?"
With each question about 3% would raise their hands. Because research tells us 2-3% conversion is really quite good .
7% of the population is open to the idea of buying because they are dissatisfied or not opposed to a change.
The other 90% - either not thinking about it, think they are not interested, or is definitely not interested.
STOP believing that marketing to acquire new customers MUST be super expensive. And BEGIN creating funnels to acquire new customers organically and in a more affordable way.
On Monday (Feb 20th) I'll share a personal case study in which we decreased our spend 7x
Acquiring new customers is SUPER expensive. Right?
The past 2.5 years, fintechs got WAY 2 comfortable blowing cash on marketing.
So comfortable that...
they forgot to create funnels for organic traffic and in the process managed to scare investors away 💨 thanks guys.
You would be a fool to believe knowledge = success. Too many people jump from great ideas and never embrace a true plan of action, resulting in believing that consuming knowledge alone will lead to success.
How are you Reaching the Masses?

6-7% are open to buying
30% Not thinking about buying
