Khabib announces his retirement
To retire at the top is a real luxury.

You look at the likes of Anderson Silva, BJ Penn & Chuck Liddell... incredible fighters diluting their career records with later fights.
It's tragic a Silva vs. GSP fight never happened
Another tragedy is the UFC never being able to sign Fedor... they came really close before the deal fell through
Of course the financial problems at UFC will only worsen with a huge name leaving the roster. The leverage in the business is fucking high... close to 7x EBITDA. If they're lucky they get to mid-6s.

Still remains to be seen what margins are like with new media rights contracts.
What's the one super fight you always wanted to watch in the UFC?
Sure I'm not the only one who misses Pride. Still surprised nobody died.

Whether it's a blatant pyramid scheme, dysfunctional political leaders or a mindless church cult, our people are desperate to believe in something
What I learnt helping people identify & get out of pyramid schemes:

Desperation clouds judgement.

These are people like you & I who end up in terrible situations. It's a loan gone bad or sudden unemployment

Sometimes they have so much cash "invested" they're forced to believe
The hardest people to help get out of a scam are the "cult promoters"

These are people who joined a scam early, have actually made money & refuse any evidence put in front of them.

They frequent Facebook groups & are prepared to sacrifice their friends/ family to the scheme.

Nobody is happier for you to own a vehicle than the SA government.

License disc fees, driver's license renewals, fuel taxes, import duties, ad valerom tax, tyre levies, VAT, Road Accident Fund payments, eTolls, toll gate fees, CO2 taxes...
"Taxes account for 42% of the purchase price of new vehicles with prices between R200k & R900k"

Who else is really excited for you to own a car?

Banks, dealership finance divisions & insurance providers.

The Wesbank mobility basket shows 80% of monthly spend are due to fuel and car payment instalments.

Frustratingly, insurance is also becoming much more expensive. Image

I'd rather watch Cake Boss than Zoom lectures
If you don't eat for 12 years you can afford a UCT MBA.

You will also be pretty thin.
"Hey bro, do you watch EPL?"

"Yeah, but I missed the last 3 seasons so I can fail my first year of university"

People who don't understand brand partnerships arguing over Bonang will be hurt to find out George Clooney doesn't own Nespresso
Normalize being happy for people's success
Rihanna has a 15% stake in Fenty. LVMH owns roughly 50%.

Kanye owns 100% of Yeezy yet ends up with 15% of sales after Adidas distributes the product.

Being synonymous with a product, owning a controlling equity stake & profit share agreements differ heavily across brands.
