Derek's been one of my biggest supporters for years. How's he going to take it when he learns I developed an athleisure addiction and dress like a sombre goth? Help me; I'm frightened.

The ways of the drum. Knows exactly what she’s doing. She’ll be unstoppable by the time she hits her teens. Ace!

Dressing well was also not limited to the rich and famous. A reader sent me pics of his grandpa, born in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) to a working-class Chinese family. He immigrated to London and then Canada, where he worked in an auto parts store and by installing light fixtures.

I want to first dispel some myths. Contrary to popular belief, people didn't look better because they were slimmer. We see many corpulent men in the past who dressed better than the average man today. It's not true you can look good in anything if you have an athletic body.

honestly didn't expect this is what would happen when i joined a menswear forum 15 years ago

Obi Agye Me Dɔfo. The highlife instrumental compositions of the 1970’s were on a different level. No wonder people went to clubs during lunch breaks 😀 Meanwhile, does this remind of you of another 70’s hit song?

The incredible tracking shot in Mikhail Kalatozov's SOY CUBA from 1964. This is insane.

CEOs waste years trying to scale from $0 → $10M. I created a simple AI prompt to make it 10x easier (in just 30 seconds): Quick context: I’ve been asked the same question 100X by CEOs. “How long until we hit $10M?” The answer is never what anyone expects. I turned the math that scaled Ampush from $0 → $30M into a simple AI prompt. Plug in your metrics. ChatGPT shows you: • Your actual timeline to 10X • The ONE change that cuts it in half It takes 10 seconds. Reply "CALCULATOR" and I'll DM the link.

Personally, I think it's more interesting to shop from skilled, independent artisans who make things the old way. Many represent a dying breed of craftspeople who have turned their back on machines. Not only are their products more affordable, they're higher quality.

"I open Slack at 9, see the daily report, and immediately know what to action." Last week, we met the CMO of a $300M healthcare brand. They have a team of Growth Assistants who track metrics, maintain dashboards, and send out updates on Slack every morning. From there, leaders can see all the numbers that matter, and quickly take action. You can download their full playbook, and get a discount on your own Growth Assistant. Repost this post + comment "GA" to get their simple 5-step playbook for using marketing assistants in your DMs.

@jspujji Thank you kindly!

@Barima_ON DM’d you!

Two years ago, I hired an agency to revamp my LinkedIn profile. Since then, I’ve seen 3x more inbound leads. I asked the founder if I could share what he taught about LinkedIn profile upgrades and he said ‘yes!’ So that’s exactly what I’m doing. For context: In February, @marvinsangines of Notus hosted this workshop for my Accelerator Program. His agency has optimized the Linkedin profiles of 150+ B2B founders & executives worldwide - including mine. In the 83-minute session, he took us through the exact workflow his agency uses to turn every client’s profile into a high-converting landing page. As a BONUS, he also shared a step-by-step Notion template anyone can use to do the same. If you want the full recording + the bonus template FOR FREE: Comment “LinkedIn” and I’ll send it to you.

#WhatsTrending: On April 14, 2025, Nigeria submitted its ECOWAS Tariff Offer at an #AfCFTA meeting in Kinshasa, DRC. The country pledged to remove import duties on 90% of African goods. Backed by President Tinubu, this move signals a deeper push into intra-African trade, but success hinges on reducing non-tariff barriers and energy inclusion. 🔍: Tomi Abe: @mrtomiabe, Adetoro Adetayo: @toroadetayo 🎨: Tomi Abe: @mrtomiabe

I think this is a huge compliment but after binging #DouglasIsCancelled my teen daughter said ...."I assumed this had been written by a woman "

holy shit there is nothing that can prepare you for when they cut to the interview

Someone asked me why there aren't any high-end Chinese clothing brands. They are many! In this thread, I'll name a few, as well as answer the question why you may not have heard of them. 🧵

9. He was asked why he allowed blessings for same-sex couples. Watch how he answered: Not with judgment. But with openness. And deep human empathy.
