When Gurhan Kiziloz speaks about growth, he rarely mentions markets in abstract terms. His language is direct, often visceral, more action than analysis. And yet, it is precisely this instinctive style that placed Nexus International, his self-funded digital gaming company, in Brazil at the moment its regulatory environment began to transform. In 2024, Nexus reported $400 million in revenue, a figure largely attributed to the explosive performance of its gaming platform Megaposta in Brazil. The number is significant not just because of its scale, impressive by any standard for a non-venture-backed company, but because of what it signals. For Kiziloz,…

Maslow Capital, a leading pan-European provider of real estate finance, has finalised a £21 million developer exit facility to assist CKC Properties with their newly completed and fully operational Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA) project in Brighton. The bridging facility will be used to refinance existing borrowings tied to the property, allowing CKC Properties to improve the operational performance of the asset during the prime student letting season. This strategic move aims to optimise rental income and bolster the asset’s overall valuation in preparation for a future divestment. Ideally situated between the University of Sussex and the University of Brighton—two of…
Wealth transfer across generations is one of the most complex challenges in modern financial planning—not because of the technical tools involved, but because of the human dynamics behind them. Levi Pettit, managing partner of Dornick Wealth Management, has built his firm to navigate that intersection. While many advisors focus on market performance and tax efficiency, Pettit believes the deeper challenge lies in coordinating goals across multiple generations. “We’re not just managing assets,” he said. “We’re managing relationships, expectations, and legacy.” Beyond Portfolios: A Collaborative Planning Hub Traditional wealth management often functions in silos. The investment advisor builds a portfolio. The…
In an industry defined by calculated growth and investor-driven roadmaps, Gurhan Kiziloz has built a company that operates on instinct, speed, and full personal exposure. Nexus International, the digital platform he founded and still solely funds, generated $400 million in revenue in 2024. But the path to that milestone was not polished or linear. It was shaped by missteps, early failures, and a founder who sees motion, not reflection, as the best corrective force. Kiziloz doesn’t hide from his past business collapses. In fact, he brings them up often, but rarely to dissect them. “There isn’t one standout failure; there…
Bitcoin (BTC) has slipped back from its recent all-time high near $122,125 following a record-breaking rally earlier this week. The decline comes as markets digest key macroeconomic developments — most notably, the latest U.S. inflation figures released on Tuesday. The cryptocurrency’s sharp climb, which began in mid-June, was largely underpinned by two major factors: a steady inflow of institutional capital into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, and rising optimism that the U.S. Federal Reserve would begin easing monetary policy in the latter half of 2025. Together, these forces created a conducive macro environment and a bullish technical setup, helping BTC overcome…

The UK property market is shifting significantly in 2025. London was considered the major hotspot for investors for many years, and, while it’s still a desirable area, there are other cities and towns that can deliver high yields to property investors. Why investors are looking beyond traditional hubs Investors are no longer solely sticking to traditional hubs in the UK. London, especially, is becoming less of a highlight for investors due to the extremely high house prices and tighter yields. There are several things driving this change: Remote working: Since the pandemic, remote work has stayed popular. People no longer…

Transitioning from broadcast television to streaming platforms has presented a challenge to many established producers, but few have achieved the measurable success that Randy Douthit has demonstrated with Judy Justice. Since its 2021 debut on Amazon Freevee, the show has accumulated substantial streaming hours, earned consecutive Daytime Emmy Awards, and secured syndication deals spanning broadcast networks nationwide. Numbers tell part of the story. Emmy recognition validates the rest. Judy Justice won the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Legal/Courtroom Program in June 2022 following its first season, then repeated this achievement at the 51st Daytime Emmy Awards in June 2024 for…
