Common Sense podcast is back, and in this first episode, I sit down with Britains strictest Headteacher to talk about the culture wars taking place in schools. @Miss_Snuffy @TCSNetwork What reforms may we need to give our children the best chance to succeed.? You can watch it here and wherever you get your podcasts. youtu.be/CO8tRm6djiE

Ever since I was a child, Ive been a documentary fanatic! Vice, BBC, the fourth estate, DW, you name it. Excited to be in the position where, over the course of the next 4 months, we will be shooting 4 documentaries in the middle east. This is the kind of dream project I would have never imagined doing 5 years ago, but here we are. Super pumped. Watch this space and stay locked in, to @tcsnetwork for more information.

The easiest way to grow a media company is to make people angry. We chose the harder route, and it is working. I was interviewed this week about how @TCSNetwork has grown, what we are building next, and why balanced media is worth the fight. Polarisation, extremism, the lot. The interview was with Regardless out of Singapore, full thing coming soon.

Today, Common Sense @TCSNetwork begins again. We are becoming a place where different perspectives meet, not to win, but to understand. A place that builds trust where there is suspicion, and makes media that leaves the world a little healthier than it found it. It has a home now. Our studio in South East London, where the work and the community finally live in the same room. This is our inflexion point, and we are not building it alone. We are hiring five people to shape the next chapter with us. If something in this is calling you, the link is in our bio. If you simply want to be part of where this goes, come and find us. The work starts now. Full Video: youtu.be/veDX-BhqRR0 Discover roles and apply: forms.gle/eJqdbF8wSrU4UGhX8

Dream Big when setting goals. Years ago I set a goal to own a studio and I'm sat in it now. After you watch this video, you'll dream big and set bigger goals too. Watch Here: vist.ly/4xirp

👋🏻 Hey Twitter — allow me to reintroduce myself. When I was younger, I just wanted to be great. I didn't know what that meant exactly. I just felt it... this deep pull toward something significant. As I've gotten older, I've realised that the most meaningful version of greatness isn't about how impressive your life looks from the outside. It's about what you gave yourself to. What you built. Who you served. So. My name is Mike Omoniyi. I'm the founder and CEO of The Common Sense Network @TCSNetwork — a media platform built on the belief that honest, balanced conversation still matters in a world that's increasingly allergic to nuance. I founded On Mission @weareonmission_ a leadership and discipleship organisation that has now reached over 14,000 young people in person. I run Common Sense Studios, a production studio in South East London where we help people tell stories worth telling. I've spoken at the United Nations. I've appeared on BBC Breakfast and GB News. I've been named by the Financial Times as one of the UK's 100 most influential leaders in tech. I've had conversations with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle that reached millions of people. And if I'm honest — I've spent most of those 15 years with my head down, building, and barely talking about any of it. That changes now. I believe faith should inform how we build. I believe ideas matter and that most people are capable of far more rigorous thinking than the algorithm gives them credit for. I believe the best organisations don't just solve problems — they change the conditions that create those problems in the first place. I'm not interested in how clean my life looks to people on the outside. I'm committed to submitting to God, knowing he is the true author of how it all turns out. If any of that resonates, follow along. I write every week at the link in my profile. Good to meet you. Let's build something.

The self discipline fallacy

Last weekend, somewhere between 50,000 and 500,000 people marched through London. That's not a typo. The organisers and the Met Police are that far apart. The Together Alliance billed it as the largest anti-far-right demonstration in British history. The police said turnout was closer to 50,000. A few thoughts. 🧵 The first thing worth noting is that crowd counting is genuinely hard. There's no universally agreed methodology, satellite imagery takes time to process, and dense urban marches spread across multiple routes are notoriously difficult to estimate. Both figures may be offered in good faith. But the gap matters beyond logistics. When the same event is described as 500,000 by one side and 50,000 by another, people aren't just getting different numbers, they're getting different stories. One is a movement. The other is a protest. Its the same street but a completely different meaning. What does this tell us about the moment we're in? That political events are now immediately processed through narrative before they're processed through fact. The story of the story becomes the story. The march itself raises real questions worth sitting with. Reform is surging. Tommy Robinson drew 150,000 people last September. The Together Alliance says the majority of Britain rejects that politics. They may be right. But a majority on a march in London on a Saturday is not the same as a political majority in Stoke, Sunderland, or Swindon. Britain is genuinely divided — not just between left and right, but between people who feel heard and people who feel ignored. No march, from any direction, resolves that. The hard work is in the conversation after everyone goes home. @TCSNetwork for more!

Reeves has positioned this Budget as one of responsibility, investment and realism. Whether it feels fair or heavy will depend on your income source, your home, your savings and your stage of life. For millions, it marks the beginning of a slow tightening rather than a loosening. @TCSNetwork tcsnetwork.co.uk/rachel-reev…

It took the @Conservatives 14 years to run out of steam and ideas and labour in just a few months appear to be rudderless with to clear sense of what’s next! Remarkable

It's really hard to state how unpopular Keir Starmer is. I've never seen someone fall from grace so quickly. I mean, granted he never started out super popular, but to lose steam so quickly in less than a year is quite shocking. New #EditorsDesk for @TCSNetwork youtu.be/PFV5t3HgDGQ

Echo chambers have done more damage than most people care to admit. When you only ever hear your own views reflected back at you, disagreement starts to feel like an attack rather than a normal part of civic life.

This is why i would sit down for dinner with @chamath #cspod #fyp #allinpod

Is it time for the big move? In this conversation, my sister and I discuss the pros and cons and the realities of relocating from another country. Ten years ago, she moved from the UK to America and has built a beautiful life. Exception or rule? youtu.be/1SqVCGOjPjU
