"10x your money in 1 month!"

By the time you realise it…it’s too late.

Introducing: Slam the Scam. 🧵

@Laurenterras @ExclusiveBooks Thank you so much for the support Lauren!

[Lauren Terras @Laurenterras]

Embarrassed to admit I didn’t know about this book. Fixing that immediately — straight to @ExclusiveBooks after #PulseConference2026.

@mikestopforth you are an absolute showman. Insightful, engaging, and impossible to ignore #pulseconference26

The Funniest Golf Story of My Life - a thread to brighten up your Tuesday.

Technically, it’s a golf story. But really, it’s a story about chaos disguised as golf.

A few years back we arrived early, painfully early, like 6:45 early, to play Serengeti Golf Course near OR Tambo.
