Good Afternoon, and welcome back to ToTheUnknown

The newsletter that’s like a personal trainer for your brain—except you don’t have to wake up at 5 AM to read it.

Today, we’re diving deep into Hamza Ahmed’s journey—from awkward teen to self-improvement masterclass.

You know him.

The guy who went from lost, broke, and addicted to video games… to making millions, building a movement, and getting guys off the couch and into the gym (at least he got me with something).

How’d he do it?

Simple: Pain, discipline, and a whole lot of trial and error.

Here are the stages:

👶Young Hamza: The Early Struggles (Ages 0-18)

Hamza Ahmed wasn’t born into success (like everybody I have covered 😅).

He didn’t have a trust fund, a silver spoon, or billionaire parents.

What he had was the same thing you have right now—POTENTIAL.

Growing up, Hamza followed the traditional path: go to school, get good grades, and prepare for a "safe" future.

But deep down, he felt disconnected. He wasn’t passionate about academics, and the idea of working a 9-to-5 for the rest of his life made his skin crawl.

His teenage years?

Rough (like almost everybody’s).

He struggled with self-discipline, wasted time on video games, and faced the all-too-common distractions that plague young men.

But one day, he decided enough was enough.

👦The Turning Point (Ages 18-21)

Most people stay stuck in their bad habits forever.

Hamza?

He flipped the switch.

At 18, he stumbled upon self-improvement content.

Books, YouTube videos, and mentors (both virtual and real-life) opened his eyes.

He realized success wasn’t luck—it was built through discipline, habits, and relentless effort.

He hit the gym religiously.

He ditched video games.

He started reading.

He began journaling, meditating, and focusing on his mental clarity.

Every single day was about becoming 1% better than the day before.

👨‍💻Building the Brand (Ages 21-23)

Hamza didn’t just want to improve his life—he wanted to help others do the same. That’s when YouTube entered the picture.

He started uploading videos, sharing his journey, and giving brutally honest advice to young men who were stuck in the same cycle he had escaped.

His authenticity was magnetic.

He wasn’t some guru selling a fake lifestyle—he was a real guy, sharing real struggles, and offering real solutions.

And people resonated with it.

Big time.

His channel exploded.

Young men around the world saw themselves in his story.

They started listening.

They started taking action.

And before long, Hamza had built a massive community around self-improvement.

👨Financial Success & The Mission (Ages 23-Now)

YouTube wasn’t just a platform—it was a launchpad.

With millions of views, Hamza leveraged his brand to build a business.

Courses, coaching, and products designed to help people level up.

And the best part?

It wasn’t about the money—it was about the impact.

Today, Hamza is a leader in the self-improvement space.

He’s proof that you don’t need a perfect background to build an incredible future.

His mission is clear: to help young men escape mediocrity and create lives they’re proud of.

🤓 What We Can Learn From Hamza Ahmed:

1/ Your habits define you. What you do daily shapes your future. Choose wisely.

2/ Discipline beats motivation. Motivation is fleeting. Discipline keeps you going.

3/ Take action. Watching self-improvement content is useless if you don’t apply it.

4/ Surround yourself with the right people. Your environment either builds you up or drags you down.

5/ Don’t chase money—chase value. Provide value, and money will follow.

Hamza Ahmed isn’t special.

He’s just a guy who survived the hard barrier, and put in the work.

That’s a wrap, folks.

If you made it this far, either you’re insanely dedicated… or just had nothing better to do. Either way, I respect it.

I know there’s more to improve, but that’s where you come in. What’s missing? What should hit harder? Roast me, guide me, whatever—just don’t stay silent like an NPC.

Most importantly—implement something. Reading without action is just a high-effort way to feel productive while doing nothing.

Without further ado… see you on Sunday.

P.S. Might be doing more posts again. Might not. Only time will tell.
