Proprietary trading firms have become one of the most popular paths for traders who want access to larger capital without risking their own savings. Instead of slowly growing a small personal account, traders can complete an evaluation process and then trade firm capital while keeping a share of the profits. But here’s the truth: not all prop trading firms are the same. The difference between a good one and a mediocre one can dramatically affect your performance, payout speed, and overall potential to build a career in trading. If you want a data‑backed list of the best prop firms by…

Gurhan Kiziloz does not talk much about the years before the numbers got large. When asked, he offers fragments, limited capital, uncertain outcomes, the particular pressure of funding growth without a safety net. He does not linger on these details. They are context, not narrative. What matters to him is what came next. What came next was Nexus International, a gaming company that generated $1.2 billion in revenue in 2025. Kiziloz owns it entirely. There were no funding rounds, no venture partners, no institutional investors taking board seats in exchange for capital. He built it with his own money, made…
Nexus International’s trajectory over the past three years can be traced, in large part, to a single platform. Spartans.com now accounts for the majority of the company’s revenue and has become the vehicle through which Gurhan Kiziloz is mounting a challenge to the gaming industry’s most established operators. Bet365 and Stake have dominated for years. Spartans is making the competition interesting. The platform launched with $200 million behind it, Kiziloz’s own capital, deployed without outside investors or institutional approval. The bet was substantial. It was also deliberate. Kiziloz did not build Spartans to occupy a niche or serve an underserved…
A billion dollars in revenue is a threshold that separates companies that compete from companies that dominate. In 2025, Nexus International crossed that line, posting $1.2 billion in revenue and cementing Gurhan Kiziloz’s position as one of the most formidable operators in online gaming. He did it without venture capital. Without a board of directors. Without anyone’s permission. Three years ago, this outcome was not obvious. Kiziloz was rebuilding. The ventures that preceded Nexus had run their course, and he was starting again with conviction and little else. What followed was a demonstration of what happens when operational intensity meets…
Leadership today is more complex than ever. You’re expected to make decisions that affect not just organizations, but people, communities, and broader social systems.

At the same time, modern society is changing quickly, often leaving leaders to navigate uncertainty, division, and ethical gray areas. In this environment, many people are searching for leadership models that go beyond efficiency or authority alone. They want guidance rooted in purpose, service, and responsibility. This is where faith-based leadership education continues…
You can certainly inherit a business when someone passes away, but there are many considerations, including whether or not it is stipulated in a will, which relatives will inherit the business and if there are any other business partners involved. In reality, inheriting a business can be complex, with different legal rules, taxes and personalities involved. Unsurprisingly, with 600,000 deaths recorded in the UK each year, thousands of families and businesses face these kinds of issues every year. Inheriting a Business When There Is a Will When the deceased person has left a will and it includes information about their…
If you invest in real estate, taxes probably feel like one of those unavoidable headaches. Not fun, but important. The good news is that real estate comes with more deductions than many other types of investments. The tricky part is knowing what counts and how it all fits together. Let’s walk through some of the most common tax deductions real estate investors should understand, without getting too stiff or accountant-heavy about it. Mortgage Interest This is usually the biggest deduction for most investors. If you have a loan on a rental property, the interest portion of your mortgage payments is…
For a lot of UK businesses, they can often find a time where they need money fast. This could be to secure the purchase of stock, a property, pay their tax bill, pay suppliers, staff or make an urgent transaction. Whilst there are common facilities to help with this like business credit cards, overdrafts and even senior members injecting some emergency cash into the business, it is valuable to know what options you have available if you find yourself in this position. If you need funds within 24 hours, flexibility matters more than cost. If you can wait three days…
A family-run business from Hertfordshire is devoted to making waiting times at your local GP or dentist a thing of the past. The company, InTouchNow.ai, is an offshoot of InTouchNow, a customer services firm that has been operating for more than three decades. The idea was driven by founder Daniel Park, who created an AI tool that can replicate a person’s voice and use it as a virtual receptionist or customer support agent for their practice. To create your own voice agent, you simply record a short script that takes around thirty seconds. The AI then uses that recording to…
There is a young woman ushered into the hospital, struggling with chronic, debilitating shoulder pain. She did go through the drill: pills, patches, and physical therapy—but the relief never lasted. It wasn’t until she visited an osteopath that the mystery was solved. By observing her daily habits, the practitioner realized that a simple, repetitive motion of fetching and bending at a “wrong angle” had caused years of accumulated micro-trauma. Does this seem too close to home or relatable? This story hits the osteopathic philosophy spot on: this involves looking beyond the symptom to find the biomechanical root cause. For medical…
