The app for independent voices

Hey Friends, I’m here of Substack, and here is why I decided to leave MSNBC and go 100% independent with all my content.

Substack Launch: Let's do this!

Podcast posting in the morning.

We’ll be covering a guy who reached out to me about 80 Boxes of cards he found.

Thoughts about Topps Series 1

What does “Old School Cards” mean to you when you hear that

Top athletes I’m buying: Cam Ward, Paige Bueckers, Amen Thompson, Caleb Williams, Omarion Hampton, Chandler Simpson, Zion Williamson, Tiffany Stratton.

It’s why I’m here. Thank you all for joining me.

Let’s redefine the future of media in America, together.

The problem with Social Security isn't "fraud."

The problem with Social Security is that as the rich have gotten richer, more of their income has escaped the cap on the SS payroll tax.

In fact, millionaires stop paying SS taxes today.

We can fix this by scrapping the cap.

Always great seeing @briantylercohen when he makes it to DC. Brian and I work every day doing episodes of The Legal Breakdown (fast approaching episode number 500), to bring you accurate, reliable, and 100% independent legal analysis.

World-class writing

The best stories, ideas, and culture right at your fingertips.

Hey guys. Sorry if you got a notification I had a video up. I opened a blaster of illusions and I somehow recorded it in slow motion making an 8 minute video 49 mins. I feel dumb. I’ll post “my hits” as soon as my daughter wraps up her basketball season. They are currently 0-7. Will they win the final game? I’m taking action on the game now. I’ll have a pod up later for my payers.

For the rest of my life, I will never understand how a country full of people busting their asses, working paycheck to paycheck, allow the fucking richest guy on Earth to call them "parasites" while calling the Social Security we contributed to our entire lives "a Ponzi scheme."

Un-fucking-real.

The media asking Zelenskyy if he wants to apologize to Trump is everything wrong with the media. They should be asking if Trump wants to apologize to Zelenskyy. Most Americans are humiliated at the trash behavior by Trump and JD in the Oval.

Grow Your Audience

Marketing isn’t all on your shoulders. More than 50% of all new free subscriptions and 25% of paid subscriptions come from within our network.

Zelenskys support in Ukraine went up 15 points to 67 after the Oval Office meeting.

Democracy doesn’t die in darkness, it dies behind a paywall.

That’s why all of my news will ALWAYS be free. The more people are empowered with knowledge the better.

I can’t stand when news companies make people pay for news. My decision may not be the most business savvy, but times are too important to do anything otherwise.

I’m a 25 year old Pakistani guy who fell in love with writing when he was 8 but couldn’t start doing what he loved until he was 23 (Life is hard growing up in a single-mom household as the eldest)

But in less than 2 years now,

  • I climbed to 45K+ followers on LI, built my personal brand

  • Ghostwritten for 7-8 figure founders (with actual Exits)

  • Made connections with the best online writers

  • Earning 8x of what I was making in my 9-5

  • People now know me for writing and AI

3 superpowers/skills helped me the most along the way (these are also the skills all the best writers have):

  • Critical Observation (See through every piece of writing)

  • Reverse-engineering (Ability to recreate success of others)

  • Rhythmic Storytelling (From hook to CTA, connect them all)

It’s not just this but several other things that come into play which you can only learn with experience. All of this helped me get 2K+ subs here and 9 paid subscribers in only a month.

This is for everyone who struggled to get here or is still struggling, “I’m proud of you and I’m 101% sure that you’ll make it”

Hassan, love those superpowers and skills to have we all have to find what works best for us, but I agree with those three and use them daily. Thank you for sharing 🙏

Definitely, everyone hass some unique superpowers, which I call their unfair advantage.

But it's not unfair if we share it. we might not Be able to transfer it to them, but we can help them with the knowledge that we have in the superpowers that we have.

For sure, by unfair I meant compared to your competitors.

but we can use them to help each other for those who want to share for those who don't I totally get what you're saying 😉
