Miles Weber Shares Why He Always Wears Number 2
United States, 8th Jun 2026 — Miles Weber, professional basketball player, entrepreneur, and founder of Fully Feared and Fully Feared Sports, today shared the deeply personal story behind the number “2” that has followed him throughout his basketball career. While fans often associate jersey numbers with style, superstition, or preference, Weber says his choice carries a much deeper meaning rooted in family, faith, resilience, and purpose.
For Weber, who has competed professionally throughout Latin America, Europe, Asia, and the Caribbean, the number serves as a daily reminder of the two men who helped shape him long before basketball became a profession.
“I wear #2 in honor of my two grandfathers,” Weber said. “They are my two reasons to keep going. No matter how difficult the road gets, how many setbacks I face, or how uncertain things become, they remind me to stay resilient and keep moving forward. Whenever I’m facing adversity, I think about the sacrifices they made, the values they instilled in me, and the belief they had in me long before anyone else did. That’s why quitting has never been an option.”
Both grandfathers played significant roles in Weber’s upbringing and were among the earliest influences in both his life and athletic journey.
On his mother’s side, Thomas Green briefly played basketball at the University of Illinois and became one of Miles’ biggest supporters, attending games throughout his childhood and encouraging him to pursue the sport he loved.
On his father’s side, Harry Weber shared a lifelong passion for sports with his grandson. Whether it was attending games live or sitting together at home watching on television, sports became a bond that connected generations. From Chicago Bulls games to Chicago Bears Sundays, some of Miles’ favorite memories were created alongside both of his grandfathers. They watched countless games together, talked sports for hours, and shared a love for competition that helped shape his outlook on life.
Basketball, in particular, became something that connected all three of them.
“I was incredibly fortunate to have both of them in my life,” Weber said. “I wouldn’t be the player I am today or the man I’ve become if it wasn’t for my grandfathers and the positive examples they set. They taught me how to work hard, treat people the right way, stay humble, and keep pushing forward no matter what life throws at you. They supported me, believed in me, and shared my love for sports and basketball. Some of my favorite memories are simply sitting with them watching games, talking basketball, breaking down players, and spending time together. We bonded through sports, especially basketball, and that’s something I’ll carry with me forever.”
Both grandfathers passed away around the same time during Weber’s freshman year where he was at Western Kentucky University, making it one of the most difficult periods of his life. The loss forever changed his perspective and strengthened his commitment to honoring them through the way he lives, competes, and carries himself.
When Weber got his first tattoo, he chose to honor both men by placing their names on his arm alongside the Bible verse that was read at each of their funerals.
“My tattoos and my #2 jersey serve as a permanent reminder of where I came from,” Weber said. “No matter where basketball takes me, I carry them with me. Every practice, every game, every country I’ve played in, they’re still part of the journey.”
Today, that same mindset continues to drive Weber both on and off the court. Throughout a professional career spanning multiple continents, he has built a reputation for resilience, adaptability, and finding opportunities where others see obstacles. From navigating different cultures and leagues to building businesses and helping athletes create opportunities of their own, the lessons passed down from his grandfathers remain at the center of everything he does.
Away from the game, Weber is the founder of Fully Feared and Fully Feared Sports. Built from his own experiences navigating professional basketball, the brands represent perseverance, faith, accountability, and the willingness to keep moving forward despite uncertainty.
Through Fully Feared Sports, Weber has helped create opportunities for hundreds of athletes worldwide through player placement, career advising, international tours, and partnerships with clubs and leagues across multiple countries. His mission is to help athletes gain access to opportunities he understands firsthand can change lives.
“The number 2 reminds me that nothing worthwhile comes easy,” Weber said. “It’s a reminder to stay grateful, stay humble, keep working, and never forget the people who helped me get here. Everything I do today—whether it’s basketball, business, or helping other players—is rooted in those lessons.”
For Weber, the meaning of #2 has never changed.
It is not about statistics.
It is not about recognition.
It is about remembering where he came from, honoring the people who believed in him first, and carrying their legacy forward every single day.

Mexico City, Mexico, September 9th, 2026, FinanceWire
Businesses and individuals anywhere in the world can now send payments that arrive as pesos in a Mexican bank account in seconds
Amboss Technologies, the payments platform that connects businesses to instant, global payments, and Aureo, the Mexican platform that converts Lightning payments directly into peso bank deposits, today announced an integration that links the global Lightning Network to Mexico’s banking system end to end.
Until now, the Lightning Network’s instant settlement stopped at the edge of Mexico’s financial system. With this integration, any business using Amboss Payments can route funds to an Aureo Lightning address and have them arrive as Mexican pesos in a bank account via SPEI, Mexico’s interbank transfer system, in seconds. A customer pays in bitcoin over the Lightning Network, and the recipient in Mexico receives pesos in their bank account without touching an exchange.
Lightning payments have become increasingly popular, with a reach of more than 900 million users globally through exchange apps including Coinbase, Binance, and Cash App. For businesses, Lightning payments cost less than traditional payment cards and settle instantly and finally, with no chargeback risk, making them an attractive supplement to card processing.
The timing reflects a large and underserved market. The United States and Mexico traded an estimated $872 billion in goods in 2025, making Mexico America’s largest trading partner, yet most cross-border business payments still move on slow and costly correspondent banking rails.
With Amboss and Aureo connected, a Mexican business can accept Lightning payments from customers across the United States and globally, hold balances in bitcoin, USDT, or USDC to manage treasury, and move funds to their Mexican bank account whenever they choose.
“Payment rails between the US and Mexico were designed decades ago, and businesses on both sides of the border pay for that every day,” said Jesse Shrader, CEO and Co-Founder of Amboss Technologies.
With Aureo, a Mexican business can accept payments from more than 900 million people through the apps they already use, at a lower cost than card processing, with no chargebacks, and receive pesos in its bank account within seconds. But the opportunity goes beyond accepting payments: Mexican and international businesses can also use the same infrastructure to send pesos to suppliers, contractors, workers, or any other recipient with a Mexican bank account. That is what modern cross-border settlement should look like.
Mexican businesses have always been ready to sell to the world. What they lacked was a payment rail that matched their ambition,” said Gustavo Flores, CEO and Founder of Aureo. “By connecting to Amboss, we make it possible for any business in Mexico to accept instant payments from customers anywhere and receive pesos directly in its bank account, fully compliant with Mexican regulations. Through Aureo’s Direct to Bank feature, a business only needs to set up an Aureo Lightning address once and link it to its Mexican bank account. From that point on, incoming Lightning payments are automatically converted and deposited as pesos, removing the complexity of creating and paying individual Lightning invoices. This is the missing link between the global economy and the Mexican banking system.
The integration is live today. Aureo appears in the Destinations and Integrations sections of the Amboss Payments app, where users can direct incoming payments to any Aureo Lightning address. Aureo operates in full compliance with Mexican regulatory requirements, including KYC verification for all users.
About Amboss Technologies
Amboss connects businesses to instant, global payments with stable money. Businesses send and receive bitcoin with instant conversion to USDT or USDC for no volatility into self-custody. Learn more about reaching 900M+ compatible customers at amboss.tech or meet here.
About Aureo
Aureo is a Mexican platform that connects the Lightning Network to the Mexican banking system. With an Aureo Lightning address, incoming payments are automatically converted to pesos and deposited directly into a Mexican bank account via SPEI. Learn more at aureobitcoin.com.

Limassol, Cyprus, September 9th, 2026, FinanceWire

The licence, held by group entity FP Markets MENA Securities L.L.C.

For our clients and partners, this means added security, transparency, and quality of service.’

FP Markets holds licences across multiple leading jurisdictions including: the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), the Financial Services Authority (FSA) in Seychelles, the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) of South Africa, and the Capital Markets Authority (CMA) of Kenya.

Mississippi, USA, Sep 09, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Most people wait too long to start packing. Spyder Moving and Storage, based in Oxford, Mississippi, says the biggest source of moving day stress is not the move itself. It is the four weeks before it.
Vladyslav Ladygin, owner of Spyder Moving and Storage, built the company around the idea that a move goes smoothly when the plan is broken into small pieces instead of one big weekend scramble. The 30-day challenge is the company’s attempt to put that thinking into a format anyone can follow, whether they hire movers or not.
“A move feels overwhelming when it’s one giant task,” Ladygin said. “It stops feeling that way once you break it into thirty small ones.”
What the challenge covers
The plan runs in four blocks, each covering about a week:
Days 1 to 7: Sort and decide. Go room by room and separate items into keep, donate, and toss. Spyder Moving and Storage recommends starting with closets and garages, since those tend to hold the most items nobody has touched in a year.
Days 8 to 14: Gather supplies and set a budget. This includes boxes, tape, and padding, along with a firm number for what the move should cost. The company suggests getting a written estimate early so there are no surprises later.
Days 15 to 21: Pack the rooms used least. Guest rooms, storage areas, and seasonal items go first. Kitchens and bedrooms wait until closer to moving day, since those stay in use the longest.
Days 22 to 30: Confirm logistics and pack the essentials. This is the week to confirm the moving date, arrange parking or elevator access, and pack a separate bag with the things needed for the first night in the new place.
Built from the company’s own jobs
Spyder Moving and Storage says the plan reflects patterns the company sees on actual moves, not a generic template. Every step in the plan maps to a problem the company has run into on jobs: families who packed the kitchen too early and had nowhere to cook, or households that waited until the last week to start and ran out of boxes.
The company plans to publish the full day-by-day checklist through its channels so households can follow along without needing to hire a mover first. Ladygin said the goal is for the plan to work whether Spyder handles the move or a family does it themselves.
“We built this company to make moving less stressful,” Ladygin said. “That doesn’t have to depend on whether someone books us.”
A plan for local families too
Spyder Moving and Storage works with households across Oxford and the surrounding area, and the company says the same 30-day approach applies to local moves as well as longer ones. A move across town still benefits from the same early sorting and early packing, even if the truck ride is short.
The company also supports several local and regional causes, including Move for Hunger, pet shelters, and the Denver Children’s Foundation, and treats the 30-day plan as part of the same idea: give people a clear, usable resource rather than a vague promise.
How to follow along
Spyder Moving and Storage will share the checklist in stages over the next month, timed to match the four blocks of the plan. Households that want to start now can begin with the sort-and-decide phase, since that step works no matter when moving day falls.
The company said it built the plan to be simple enough to start today and specific enough to actually follow through day 30.
