i've been going through this faceless boxing page trying to figure out how it hit 945K followers...
the video i broke down is 20 seconds. a dark faceless mannequin in red gloves slipping under a swinging rope, and every few seconds the label jumps from "Level 1" to "Level 2"... all the way to "Level 4". you stay to see the last level, then watch it again to try it yourself
12.4M likes. follows 0 people. and the bio is just "Boxing app here 👇"
the whole page is an ad for their app and nobody watching feels sold to
you'd think it needs a 3d animator. it doesn't.. it's one character sheet, one AI clip per move and a 10 minute capcut edit. the trick is telling the AI he has NO face, otherwise it keeps inventing a new one every clip
and the part people are sleeping on is that this isn't really about boxing. swap the gloves for your brand colour and the punches for any drill and it works for fitness apps, workout offers, gym gear, anything you can show
so i put the whole thing into a guide:
> the character sheet prompt that keeps him identical
> the scene + motion prompts for every shot
> the 5 formats this page rotates (levels, right vs wrong, combos...)
> the capcut edit that makes it loop
> how to turn the page into money with app offers
RT + reply "BOXING" and i'll send it over...

A historic decision for English football, and one that comes to crown the work I carried out through Football Leaks. Today, we all know that, through structural manipulation and financial manoeuvring, Manchester City did not merely circumvent the rules, they turned them into a mere formality, challenging any attempt to preserve the integrity of the competition. That meticulously orchestrated fraud will finally be subject to punishment, and the impact will not merely be turbulent, but truly devastating for the Cityzens.
Ironically, I cannot help but remember Pep Guardiola's words at his first press conference as City manager: "Fasten your seat belts".

If I had to start over with Ecom, here’s what I would do..
These are lessons from losing my brand twice
One from a supplier scam that cost our brand, and one from Shopify payments that cost our MRR
We are now doing $5M/month and I made a video on:
- Picking a niche with heavy pain points with a product runs out for MRR..
- Find a product being sold by competitors that is already educating the market..
- Do your avatar and market research the right way..
- Build your website and setup subscriptions the right way..
This is a must watch.

I hosted a $260M+ Ecom Masterclass in front of 12K followers.
How we generated $100M+ in annual revenue fully bootstrapped.
30 minutes long. Every step laid out.
Usually reserved for operators paying $10K+/month to access me directly.
BUT I'm releasing the full recording FREE for the next 24 hours.
What I revealed:
How we went from $0 to $103M in annual revenue without raising a single dollar
The exact influencer system that drove growth — 500+ creators tested, 50 on retainer for 3+ years
The unit economics framework every DTC brand needs before spending a dollar on ads
How we structured subscription from day one and why it made the $260M exit possible
What's covered:
The 80% gross margin target and exactly how to hit it
How to whitelist influencer creative and cut your paid CAC in half
The CFO hire that changed everything — why cash visibility is a growth function
How we ran the acquisition process and closed at $260M on December 23rd
DELETING IN 24 HOURS

Ecom is the #1 best business in the world in 2026.
And I'm not saying that because we built one to $260M.
I'm saying it because the math is undeniable:
→ No cap on revenue — we went from $0 to $103M in annual revenue in under 5 years
→ No physical location required — we ran a global business from a laptop
→ No inventory risk if you structure it right — subscription model means predictable demand
→ No VC required — we raised $0 and kept virtually all the equity
→ Customers pay you before you fulfill : unlike almost every other business model
→ Retention compounds — every subscriber you keep is revenue you don't have to re-earn
→ Data ownership — you know exactly who your customer is, what they buy, and when they churn
→ Exit multiples are extraordinary — we sold for $260M on $103M revenue
I've been in mobile technology. Fitness. Cannabis. Children's health.
Nothing compounds like a well-structured ecom brand with a subscription model and strong unit economics.
The ceiling doesn't exist.
The only question is whether you pick the right category, build the right product, and have the patience to let it compound.
Most people quit before the compounding becomes visible.
The ones who don't — build $260M companies.

Someone leaked the exact playbook for 2026: how to hit $100M+ per year fully bootstrapped with ecom.
Here's what actually separates the brands that get there from the ones that plateau at $1M-$5M forever:
1. They build subscription first, revenue second
One-time purchases feel like growth. Subscription IS growth. Every subscriber compounds your LTV without re-acquiring them. The brands hitting $100M+ treat recurring revenue as the entire model — not a feature.
2. They nail unit economics before scaling ads
80% gross margins. Positive contribution margin after marketing. 60-90 day cash flow visibility. These aren't nice-to-haves. They're the prerequisites for scaling paid spend without bleeding out.
3. They build distribution before they build product
The biggest mistake early founders make: building a product and then looking for customers. The $100M+ operators identify the distribution first — the influencer relationships, the community, the audience — and then build the product to serve it.
4. They stay bootstrapped deliberately
Not because they couldn't raise. Because they didn't want to. VC pressure creates growth-at-all-costs mandates that destroy margins and culture. Every operator I respect at this level built on their own cash flow.
5. They treat the exit as a byproduct, not the goal
Every founder who built to $100M+ and exited well told me the same thing: they weren't building to exit. They were building something real. The exit followed.
We built to $103M ARR and exited for $260M doing exactly this.

I'm 41 and did a $260M+ ecom exit.
Copy my business in 50 steps:
1. Validate demand before spending a dollar on product — survey real people, pre-sell if possible
2. Target 80% gross margins from day one — if the category can't support it, find a different category...or at least a very high AOV category
3. Find a manufacturer with under 8 week lead times if possible — long lead times kill cash flow before you scale
4. Launch subscription only — no one-time purchases, ever
5. Price at premium — $10 signals $10 quality, always
6. Launch with 25-50 influencers in your niche — not 500, not 5
7. Expect 10% to convert profitably — kill the rest fast, no exceptions
8. Whitelist winning influencer creative as paid ads immediately
9. Run 20-40% of total paid budget behind influencer-sourced content
10. Drive all traffic directly to the product page or messaging optimized landing pages — no brand awareness detours
11. Text every new subscriber personally within 24 hours of their first order
12. Build post-purchase onboarding for the first 30 days — retention is won here
13. Survey customers before building any new product — know it won't fail before you make it
14. Don't launch product 2 until product 1 is undeniable — we waited 30 months
15. Hire a CFO before a head of growth — cash visibility is a growth function
16. Forecast cash 120 days out at all times and update it weekly — never get caught by a stockout
17. Build relationships with 3+ manufacturers — COVID taught us this the hard way
18. Don't raise institutional capital — every dollar of growth came from margins
19. Build reusable packaging customers display proudly — free organic content every month
20. Make every team member spend time in customer support — distance from customers creates bad decisions
21. Track your LTV by acquisition channel, not just overall — know which channels actually compound
22. Whitelist your top 3 influencers as paid ads before anything else
23. Build your influencer roster with intention — 50 long term partners over 3 years beats 500 one-offs
24. Never flash discount — every discount teaches your customer to wait
25. Run limited editions and surprise gifts instead of sales
26. Obsess over contribution margin after marketing and fulfilment costs — not just gross margin
27. Build your CAC payback period target before scaling spend — know when you get your money back
28. Hire people who've done the specific thing before — not people who are generally smart
29. Make every new employee start in customer support regardless of their role
30. Speed of decisions beats quality of decisions — always
31. Sell your business from a place of strength not desperation — we had $19M net income before exploring exit
32. Start the exit process earlier than feels necessary
33. Build your buyer universe yourself — don't wait for inbound acquisition interest
34. Assume strategic buyers understand ecom less than you'd expect — you're teaching, not just presenting
35. Get a top M&A advisor early — the fee is worth it
36. Know your EBITDA multiple target before entering conversations
37. Keep the team focused on the business during diligence — distraction kills deals
38. Negotiate earnouts carefully — understand exactly what you're agreeing to
39. Close day will feel quieter than you expect — that's normal
40. Invest the proceeds before you celebrate — the tax bill comes fast
41. Stay on post-acquisition if the terms are right — your equity in the acquirer can compound significantly
42. Document every system before the exit — buyers pay more for businesses that run without you
43. Build your personal brand while building the business — it compounds separately
44. Share what you learn publicly — the best operators are the most generous with knowledge
45. Find a co-founder with complementary skills
46. Protect the culture harder than you protect the margins
47. Obsess over what customers would genuinely miss if you disappeared tomorrow
48. Build something people would miss — not just something people buy
49. The goal isn't the exit. The exit is the byproduct of building something real.
50. Start now. The founders who win are the ones who started before they were ready.

You can build a profitable DTC ecom brand with under $50K upfront and be doing $1M+/month within 18 months and nobody talks about how repeatable the actual formula is.
Here's the exact sequence:
Month 1: Pick a category with 80%+ gross margin potential. Supplements, vitamins, wellness. Validate demand before spending a dollar on product.
Month 2: Find a manufacturer with under 8 week lead times. Non-negotiable. Long lead times kill your cash flow before you ever scale.
Month 3: Launch with influencer cohorts of 25-50 creators. Expect 10% to convert profitably. Kill the rest fast. Whitelist the winners as paid ads.
Month 4: 20-40% of your paid budget runs behind influencer-sourced creative. Your CAC drops. Your ROAS climbs.
Month 6: Build your subscription model. Lock in recurring revenue. Every subscriber is compounding LTV you don't have to re-acquire.
Month 12: You have 80% gross margins, a retention machine, and a repeatable acquisition system.
Month 18: $1M+/month is not a prediction. It's math.
Results from applying this exact system:
Without it: Random influencer outreach, no whitelisting, no subscription. Revenue flat. Margins crushed.
With the full system: 50 long term influencer partners on retainer. 20-40% of paid budget behind whitelisted creative. Subscription revenue compounding monthly.
$103M ARR. $260M exit.
The formula isn't complicated. Most people just never see it laid out clearly.

Help us find this brother so we can assist him with lodging a complaint against @JoburgMPD

The idea behind appointing a tactician like Tuchel was to break England’s long-standing tournament habits of both panicking when in front in big games and simply hoofing it from the goalkeeper when trailing. He has managed neither - this is every England team I’ve ever watched.

He was part of a gang that robbed a Boxer store in Soweto and shot a female police officer dead and wounded another.

[COMMENT]
Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi is National Commissioner material. His years of experience in policing, his operational leadership, and his deep understanding of crime intelligence and investigations set him apart.
He is not a desk-bound officer — he has consistently demonstrated a hands-on approach to policing, taking decisive action in high-pressure situations.
At a time when public trust in law enforcement is under strain, leaders who combine discipline, integrity, and real-world experience are exactly what the country needs.
Mkhwanazi’s track record in tackling serious and organised crime, as well as his willingness to confront difficult issues within the system, speaks volumes about his leadership capacity.
He understands the complexities of policing in South Africa and has shown that he is not afraid to act.
South Africa needs strong, credible, and experienced leadership at the highest level of the police service.
On merit, Lieutenant-General Mkhwanazi fits that profile.

Replying to @TheModerateCase
So let me get this straight: you can’t enjoy opera because it’s mostly in Italian? Or salsa, tango, or bachata because they’re in Spanish? Come on.
By that logic, you shouldn’t listen to Andrea Bocelli because English-language songs make up only a small fraction of his total output.
And if language were really a barrier, American rock bands would never be popular in Europe, where English isn’t the native language.
That’s obviously not how music works. Music goes far beyond language. It connects through emotion, rhythm, and energy. Music is a universal language, and it can be enjoyed in any language.
If you need English lyrics to appreciate a performance, the problem isn’t the music—it’s your mindset.

Racism in South Africa is very, very, very annoying.
We don't experience it from white people, but we experience it from black people who are trying to impress white people by oppressing and hating their fellow black people – at Sandton, South Africa
