One of the biggest lessons 2025 taught me is this: Life, by itself, has no meaning. You give it meaning. And the only way to do that is through purpose. Money, status, women, comfort none of those can carry you when things get hard. They’re outcomes. Bonuses. Side effects. They are not the reason you wake up and push when no one is watching. What actually sustains you is a mission. For me, that mission became clear this year: to build this community, to push my people to level up, to help you become stronger, more disciplined, more capable men and to leave something that lasts beyond me. That’s my purpose. That’s my responsibility. Purpose gives suffering direction. It turns pressure into fuel. It gives meaning to the grind. Without purpose, discipline feels empty. With purpose, even pain makes sense. As we close this year, I want you to take a moment and ask yourself honestly: 👉 What are you living for? 👉 What are you willing to suffer for? 👉 What mission gives structure to your days? You don’t need to have it perfectly defined yet but you must start searching for it. Because once you find it, everything aligns: your habits, your effort, your standards, your future. 2026 doesn’t need more motivation. It needs men with direction. Drop in the comments one sentence: “My purpose going into the new year is…” Let’s enter the new year with intention, not noise. We build. We grow. We lead.

Today I dropped a YouTube video called “Life’s Biggest Lessons Before 25.”It’s not a motivational speech it’s real lessons I’ve learned the hard way. I want to share the core ideas with you here, because they matter if you actually want to win at life. 1️⃣ Action > Talking > Planning Saying you’re going to do something is not doing it. Planning to do it is still not doing it. The only thing that counts is execution. You don’t get rewarded for intentions. You get rewarded for action. If you want to change your life, start doing even badly, even messy. 2️⃣ Your self-image decides your ceiling Evolution works through difference, not equality. Some people work harder. Some sacrifice more. Some endure more discomfort. And those differences compound. You don’t need to hate others but you do need to understand that the world rewards performance. 4️⃣ Be a sponge Listen more than you speak. You can learn from: - people ahead of you - people behind you - people who disagree with you Every conversation can sharpen your perspective if your ego stays quiet. 5️⃣ Purpose = outcomes, not vibes This one is key. Real life works like this: Inputs → Outputs → Outcomes - Inputs = intention - Outputs = work done - Outcomes = real-world results Outcomes are what actually measure progress. Example:“Making 10k a month” → that’s an outcome. Once you’re clear on the outcome, everything else must align with it. If it doesn’t move you closer to the outcome it’s noise. You need obsession. You need focus. You need the courage to eliminate distractions. That’s how real progress is made. 🎯 Christmas reminder: Enjoy today. Be grateful. Be with family. But don’t forget who you’re becoming.

Hey @Zedan Mutlu not sure if you are going to read this, but I had a question in regards to futbol and content creation. So I currently play football for my high school team, and the environment I am in is bad. A lot of my teammates are people who indulge in so many bad habits and act gay. I don't interact with them, but I do saw wsp and stuff like that. But the point is, I feel like being in this environment is kind of making me lose love for the game. I obviously won't let this happen, but if you were in my situation, what would you do? Also, in regards to the path I want to take in my life. I want to attempt to go pro in soccer, but I also want to post content, hit the gym, and grow my skool community at the same time. And I learned from someone recently that having multiple things in your life will cause you to not make much progress in your craft. And well, someone like you, Zedan you did barbering, football, and content creation and you were able to become successful. So my question for you is do you think having all these multiple things is good to have and do? Or are they to much to juggle? So, for someone who is 16 and in high school, would you recommend I just focus on one thing or to just continue with what I am doing and aim to try different side hustles, skills, and stuff. (Btw hope all is going well G and the family is good and the cash is flowing)

Hey Zedan so I downloaded the color grading nodes and well my footage came out like this.😬 It didn’t come out how I expected it to look. Btw I film on a Sony Zve10.

Before you start filming your "No Cuts Challenge video" this week, I want you to watch one of my videos that shows EXACTLY what I mean when I talk about presence, pacing, delivery, and holding attention without edits. Pick any of my videos where I speak directly to the camera the ones where it’s just me, one take, no fancy cuts, no hiding behind transitions. Watch how the energy stays consistent. Watch how the message flows naturally. Watch how every second counts even without edits. That’s the whole point of this challenge: ➡️ No cuts = no safety net. No edits = raw authenticity. One take = pure presence. This is how you build trust. This is how you sharpen delivery. This is how you learn to hold attention with nothing but your voice and your conviction. YOUR TASK TODAY: 1. Watch one of my straight-talk, no-cut style videos. 2. Pay attention to: - Hook - Eye contact - Tone - Flow - Confidence 3. Then comment below ONE thing you learned that you’ll apply in your own No Cuts video.
