Brunson is the literary idol every writer needs—a patron saint of tenacity, a reminder that talent, however apportioned by birth or fate, is always the junior partner to the work itself.

Black History Month is a time to recognize all the ways Black culture has shaped American life – from our music and art to our literature and sports. Let’s celebrate the perseverance, courage, and tenacity of those who paved the way for us, and do our best to follow in their footsteps.

The depth of the plan, in all honesty and simplicity of thought, truly circumvents any understanding. The Biblical story being written in your lifetime and the execution, minute by minute, of a plan so extensive and elaborate that it will shake to the core every human being alive when disclosure is finally rolled out into public view. Global Patriots, American Patriots, Digital Soldiers, Keyboard Warriors, Citizen Journalists, have through dedication and tenacity, so intense and heartfelt, succeeded in their mission, which was to ensure the unbridled success of an information program that penetrated the Worldwide Mass Propaganda Machine. A grassroots effort that when fortified and unleashed created an awareness of the evil that has long controlled our world, then creating a fire and the will to fight a battle on a myriad of fronts, simultaneously through various social and information channels, as well as the necessary kinetic war in the tunnels and the sky, which collectively saw the unifying of the world against an unseen enemy. We've now entered the final act in "The Greatest Story Ever Told." We will soon witness a total transformation of humanity's future, a rebirth in it's limitless potential, and the hidden technology that will allow humanity to heal and soar into a universe it was meant to embrace from the beginning. Those of us with you from the beginning, through this evolution of "The Plan To Save The World," will be standing by. Waiting on the call to then bring on board the information guiding us into the future we've fought so hard to bring to light. God Bless You. ~DREAM @JackMedia7

The founder of Indian startup Cred, Kunal Shah, will be global head of the most used daily product in the world (2.3B+ DAU), WhatsApp! Let’s take a look at the business of Cred: Cred’s valuation has flip-flopped from its peak but in 8yrs, they built a $4.5B biz with ~1000 employees doing $333M/yr growing 17%yoy, with Meta buying 20% of it for $900M. Kunal says they’ve hit they’re first quarter of operating profit (exact loss numbers for FY26 here are speculative) but the business is definitely trending up. Cred has ~17M users and 12.6M monthly transacting users at $26 per user per year ARPU (~₹2500). 1% of Indians use Cred, 1 in 3 of the country’s credit card users. Credit card penetration in India is 3-4% vs say 66% in the US, 50%+ in high income and 25%+ for other lower/middle income countries; perhaps if that grew more quickly, the business would have an even better outcome. When I analyzed it in 2022, I was too harsh about its future prospects. The business has grown significantly since with a path to sustainability. More importantly, this is the first time I’ve seen a non-silicon valley founder catapulted to lead such a critical product. Think what you may of Cred, it was a big bet that’s come off quite well. And this appointment is just testament to Kunal’s tenacity as a founder and leader.
