š TLP is Going to Another Level
We are at the Dawn of a New Era. I cannot wait to take you with me on the journey.

Iām writing this from a hotel room in Abu Dhabi. Iāve taken a few days away with my wife after what has easily been the most intense period of work Iāve ever had.
Even as I try to switch off, the feedback coming in from Saudi Series Episode 1 has been overwhelming. Humbling to be honest. If youāve watched it, thank you.
I uploaded my first long-form video on 15 January 2024, I had 98 subscribers at the time:

Somehow, in under two years, this community has grown to nearly 130,000 people.
Itās hard to put into words what that feels like, gratitude doesnāt quite cover it.
This summer, I knew I wanted to make something about the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. I knew it deep within me, I just didnāt know the format. Shortform videos are not long enough. One YouTube video wasnāt enough either. I didnāt know the format, I just had a feeling that it mattered.
So I put up a simple landing page to see if anyone else thought the same. Within a week, 750 people had signed up. By the end of the month, it was 1,000. That was the moment I realised this was a project worth doing properly.
The problem was that I didnāt expect it to become this detailed. The politics, the power, the money, the geopolitics, the sport. Every thread led to three more. It took far longer to research, it took ages to script. Recording took me hours.
But now its here and Iām proud of it in a way Iāve never been proud of anything Iāve made online.
The Saudi Series is the backbone of something bigger: TLP Memberships.
Over the past year Iāve been stopped in the street more and more. People ask me the same shit all the time, āwhy donāt you upload more oftenā š
Well, Memberships is how I can finally give you more without diluting the quality of what I put on the main channel.
Memberships go Live on January 1.

In addition, you will also get 12 months of access to extra content for the next year.
Membership is Ā£100 for 12 months. However the first 350 of you get it for Ā£75. A single payment. I know thatās unusual, but I want you with me for the full year. I want to build something properly. And I want you to feel part of it.
Iāve said this before, but this started as a side hobby. A creative outlet. Something I squeezed in after work, on weekends, and on flights. Now it feels like the foundations of a real media company. A proper platform. Something with a chance to grow into the biggest voice in the business of sport.
The energy from you has made that possible. The comments. The shares. The emails. The belief. I feel all of it.
2026 will be the biggest year yet. I want to go for the moon with this. And Iād genuinely love you to come with me.
Thank you for being here. Thank you for supporting the work. And if you choose to take the next step and become a member, you can do so HERE.
Thank you for believing in this mission even more.
