the goal was to put smiles on other faces, but also make money whilst sleeping. waking up to that is the ultimate flex lol
everything you desire and want in life, is just on the end but definitely not free lol. for some, the price may be worth it but also being aware of the cost is as important too.
have an idea, find a community, meet new people, build your idea, lock in, sell to the community & cash out.
not everyone can get past meeting new people stage, cause the distraction sets in & they lose focus.
90% of leadership is making decisions that no one likes, and that you have to do anyways. And that’s why leadership is heavy.
for the next decade & more, y’all are still cooked. there’s no coming back from this. only God can turn things around for nigeria
as a man, you ought to work harder than the next guy to never be this Charlemagne fellow
According to Mouse Jones, Jay-Z has gotten so comfortable and protected that his interviews come off soft. He brought up Frazier Tharpe's GQ interview with Jay and said the questions Frazier asked were soft. His argument is that Jay doesn't really let himself be challenged, so nobody asks the hard questions about his politics or being a billionaire. 🎙️
Charlamagne said nah. He argued Jay-Z will engage, but it depends on who's sitting across from him. If you walk in treating him like he's untouchable, that's the interviewer's failure, not Jay's. Whoever holds the platform sets the tone and has to ask the questions.
Then it got heated. Mouse brought up Barclays and gentrification, saying Jay-Z became the face of it by letting himself be on the billboards for a project that changed Brooklyn and pushed out longtime residents.
Charlamagne called that take lazy. He says Jay held a tiny piece of that project, and the real power and responsibility sat with government figures like Bloomberg and the developers working behind the scenes.
This, on a bigger scale, sums up why the UK is bad for business. Why are we so pressed about a club being well-run, yet happy to watch others run themselves into the ground?!?
Surely the goal should be to raise standards, not punish success ffs.
BREAKING: Football regulators have reported that 94% of English clubs are loss-making.
Sky's @RobHarris has the latest and explains the importance of the report's timing ⬇️
The replies are insane. Cause this is how people go from making 50m to losing 50m. You do not owe anyone anything.
