Stumbled upon my old business card from my early days as a photocopier salesperson.

It brought back memories of being a young, hungry sales rep, learning the fundamentals of resilience, negotiation, and grit. Those lessons have stayed with me over the years and continue to shape how I approach business and engage with customers today.

It’s also a reminder that who you become tomorrow is often shaped by the foundation you lay today; the discipline, hard work, and consistency you put in when no one is watching.

Keep showing up. Keep learning. Keep executing.

As for the phone number and address on the card? Long gone 😂

@mcpherdinand Yes, brother. You are the only one. GJ has tried for and with us. It's time to try somewhere else. Shalom!

Sanchez, gave us everything before leaving for Manchester United. Shouldn't be on the list.

The choice will be between Adebayor, Naira and RVP. For me, I will RVP.

2/2

[Eddy Michaels™ @eddymichaelz]

Aubameyang didn't offend Arsenal fans. Shouldn't be on the list

Fabregas, we had the option to resign him from Barca. We waved, and he went to Chelsea. Shouldn't be on the list.

1/2

Arsenal fans, you can forgive only ONE. Who are you choosing? 🤔

@TheArsenalMind Sanchez, gave us everything before leaving for Manchester United. Shouldn't be on the list.

The choice will be between Adebayor, Naira and RVP. For me, I will forgive RVP. Tough decision, but RVP for me. 2/2

@TheArsenalMind Aubameyang didn't offend Arsenal fans. His issue was with Arteta and we've all moved on. Shouldn't be on the list

Fabregas, we had the option to resign him from Barca. We waved, and he went to Chelsea. Shouldn't be on the list. 1/1

@McFlybowy Let’s not water down the Invincibles’ achievement just to praise this current Arsenal side. Going unbeaten is a once-in-a-lifetime feat. And the current Arsenal is the best after fried rice. The comparison is not necessary to be honest.

[Eddy Michaels™ @eddymichaelz]

Thank @bayer04_en. You have our respect.

[Bayer 04 Leverkusen @bayer04_en]

Two hard-fought games 🤝

Well played, @Arsenal, and best of luck for the rest of your season.

YouTube just crossed $60B in revenue for 2025. $40B from ads. $20B from subscriptions. Both numbers are growing double digits.

The math here tells you everything about how Google actually views its users.

2.7 billion people use YouTube every month. 125 million pay for Premium. That’s 4.6% of the user base generating a third of total revenue. Google’s own executives said on their Q4 earnings call that a Premium subscriber generates “meaningfully higher gross profit” than an ad-supported user.

So YouTube’s real optimization function is straightforward: make the ad experience painful enough that the 4.6% who can afford $14/month convert to Premium, while keeping it tolerable enough that the other 95.4% still watch long enough for advertisers to extract value.

This is a toll booth that charges both directions. Advertisers pay to get in front of you. You pay to make them go away. And YouTube takes a cut of both transactions on the same piece of content, from the same viewer session, off the same infrastructure.

The subscription business alone is now generating ~$20B annually across Premium, YouTube Music, and YouTube TV. That’s bigger than Spotify’s entire revenue. And it grew 25% year over year, adding roughly 2 million new paying subscribers per month through 2024.

The advertisers aren’t getting scammed either. YouTube controls 12.4% of total TV viewing time in the US. Shorts pulls 70 billion daily views. The ad side grew 9% to $40B. Both sides of the market are expanding because YouTube is the only platform where the product being sold to advertisers (your attention) is the same product being sold back to you (your attention, uninterrupted).

That’s a $60B business built on one insight: attention is the only asset you can sell twice.

@seyilaw1 @IdrisZekeriJnr Yes, Aba has attained energy sufficiency. Although improvements are still needed, it marks a solid foundation to build upon. Good one on Honest Bunch @GlitchAfrica

We all watched this video of this young man

And I’m sure we all cried along with him

Here are a few things that caught my attention

💡He was crying like he had been praying for a long time. I don’t know about you but as I watched the video, he looked like he could not believe God was actually coming through. His shock was like “wait so God has been hearing my prayers and this is the answer?”

God hears and answers o, what are the odds that out of the myriads of people, the helpers came to him? Dont stop praying

💡His miracle found him working. I don’t know if this guy would have found him if he stayed at home that day. If he decided that since he did not have the tools for the craft he wanted to do then he would not do anything. But he was out packing cartons and stuff just to make a few bucks and that’s where his miracle was

Don’t despise the days of little beginnings. Don’t throw away the rod that is in your hand. The miracle may be in that rod.

💡When He was asked what he wanted, he mentioned the tools he needs for business. Because they could give him food for that day an that food would finish. But he asked for something he knew that even if the helper left, he could still sustain himself. And from that he got way more than he asked for. I heard that people are still calling him and sending him money.

It’s giving Solomon only asked for wisdom and was given so much more. It’s giving “seek ye first the kingdom and all else will be added”

💡I’m sure what made all of us cry was his gratitude. It was the way he was rolling and giving thanks. I don’t know if the helper wanted to go as far as he did for the boy. But the way the boy was showing gratitude for the smallest thing , the helper kept doing more. A lot of people watching kept doing more.

There’s nothing more beautiful than a grateful heart. If humans can be so moved by thanksgiving, then imagine how much more God is moved when we show gratitude for the things He does and wil do for us.

I pray that God puts us in the position to help others. A life lived only for yourself is not a very good life.

We should be a blessing to others.

What you consider little might be life changing for someone else

Blessings!
