Calling Investors: Invest in the original Xbox “Duke” controller… I am working with a new gaming peripherals company set to take the world by storm and they are looking for investors to join the team. Founded by Duke Schnepf, son of gaming visionary, and Xbox founder, Brett Schnepf, backed by multiple founding fathers of the Xbox, this company is pushing the boundaries of the gaming peripherals sector. Their journey began with Brett Schnepf, a luminary whose contributions to gaming history are etched in stone. As a founding member of the Xbox console team, Brett's design prowess shaped modern gaming, with iconic creations like the Sidewinder PC controller and the legendary Duke controller. Today, Duke Schnepf carries forth his father's legacy. Upside and a half! In late 2024, a major streaming platform will release a series chronicling the founding of a pioneering gaming console (can you guess which one) and the launch of Duke's ground-breaking products, offering an intimate look at the visionary minds behind this revolution. Looking for investments of $10K, $20K, $50K, $100K, $250, $500K, and $1M. Higher investments with equity shares are available for discussion. We foresee full returns and profits delivered within 1 year. If you're interested in being part of this exciting journey, please get in touch to set up a call ASAP. #Gaming #InvestmentOpportunity #Innovation #GamingPeripherals #TechInvestments #gamedev #investors #angelinvestors #gameinvestor #PEinvestment #AngelInvestment

‘They Say Wisdom Comes To Those Who Wait (Nik Vocals)’ is on #SoundCloud https://lnkd.in/gcbMxw4E     They Say Wisdom Comes To Those Who Wait Vocals, Lyrics, Arrangement, and Production: Nik Bear Brown [Verse] They say wisdom comes to those who wait, But my heart beats fast, can't hesitate. Should I slow down or let it be known? This feeling's too strong to leave alone. But the clock keeps ticking, moments slip away, I can’t keep holding back, not another day. The future's uncertain, but so is the past, And with you, I know, I’m ready to make it last. [Chorus] Only fools rush in, that's what they say, But I'm ready to risk it all today. Take my hand, let's begin, Can't deny this love we're falling in. [Verse] Wondering if staying is the right move, But breaking rules might help us improve. If loving you is wrong, I don't wanna be right, Got me thinking 'bout you day and night. The fire in your eyes, it draws me near, And every doubt I had just disappears. I'll follow this path, no matter how steep, 'Cause in your arms, it's a leap I’m ready to keep. [Chorus] Only fools rush in, that's what they say, But I'm ready to risk it all today. Take my hand, let's begin, Can't deny this love we're falling in. [Verse] Like a river flows straight to the sea, My heart finds its way naturally. Baby, understand, this was meant to be, Two souls connected, you and me. We’re writing our story, page by page, A love so strong, no fear can cage. Through every high and every low, With you, forever, I’ll gladly go. [Chorus] Only fools rush in, that's what they say, But I'm ready to risk it all today. Take my hand, let's begin, Can't deny this love we're falling in. [Verse] Take all of me, I'm giving it all, With you beside me, I'm ready to fall. In this journey of love, let's make it true, 'Cause I can't help falling for you. And if the world crumbles, we’ll stand tall, With you, my love, I’ve got it all. Our hearts beat loud, like a drum so clear, No distance too far, no doubt, no fear. [Chorus] Only fools rush in, that's what they say, But I'm ready to risk it all today. Take my hand, let's begin, Can't deny this love we're falling in. [Outro] So here we are, where love begins, No more holding back, no second winds. With every step, we rise, not fall, For this love, I’d risk it all. #OnlyFoolsRushIn, #NikBearBrown, #LoveSong, #RomanticBallad, #HeartfeltLyrics, #RiskItAll, #LoveAndPassion, #FallingInLove, #TakeMyHand, #EmotionalJourney, #VocalsAndLyrics, #LoveUnchained, #RomanticMusic, #SoulfulBallad, #TimelessLove, #TrueLove, #MusicProduction, #LoveStory, #RelationshipAnthem, #DeepConnection, #LoveAndCourage, #LeapOfFaith, #HeartsCollide, #RomanceInMusic, #EmotionalLove, #HeartOnFire, #StrongLove, #LoveWithoutFear, #RomanticVibes, #ForeverInLove, #StoryOfUs
