Miles Weber Shares Why He Always Wears Number 2

Published

on

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.

Terrance Bradford Tampa, FL Explains Why Problem-Solving Is One of Construction’s Most Valuable Skills

Published

4 minutes ago

on

July 18, 2026

By

San Francisco, CA, 18th July 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, Construction projects rarely unfold exactly as planned. Weather conditions, material availability, scheduling conflicts, and unexpected site conditions can all create obstacles that require quick thinking and practical solutions. According to Terrance Bradford Tampa, FL, one of the most valuable skills a construction professional can develop is the ability to solve problems effectively while keeping projects moving forward.

With more than two decades of experience in the construction industry, Bradford has learned that successful projects are not defined by the absence of challenges, but by how those challenges are managed. Every project presents opportunities to adapt, communicate, and make informed decisions that keep work progressing efficiently.

“Every construction project will encounter obstacles at some point,” Bradford says. “The difference is how teams respond. Strong problem-solving keeps projects moving instead of allowing setbacks to become larger issues.”

Every Project Presents Unique Challenges

According to Terrance Bradford Tampa, FL, no two construction projects are exactly alike. Site conditions, client goals, environmental factors, and scheduling demands all introduce different variables that require thoughtful planning and flexibility.

Rather than relying on the same solution every time, Bradford believes construction professionals should evaluate each situation individually and make decisions based on the project’s specific needs.

“Experience gives you perspective,” he explains. “The more projects you complete, the better you become at recognizing potential challenges and identifying practical solutions.”

Communication Improves Problem-Solving

Bradford believes effective communication is one of the most important tools when resolving issues during construction.

Construction projects involve multiple stakeholders, and keeping everyone informed allows decisions to be made more efficiently. Open communication also helps prevent misunderstandings that could create additional delays.

“When everyone understands what’s happening, teams can work together toward a solution much faster,” Bradford says. “Communication reduces uncertainty and helps maintain momentum.”

By encouraging transparency, project teams can respond more confidently when unexpected situations arise.

Staying Calm Under Pressure

Construction can be a fast-paced environment where decisions often need to be made quickly. Bradford believes remaining calm during difficult situations allows leaders to evaluate options more effectively.

“When challenges happen, people naturally look for direction,” he says. “Remaining focused instead of reacting emotionally helps everyone make better decisions.”

This steady approach not only improves project outcomes but also builds confidence throughout the team.

Learning From Every Challenge

One of Terrance Bradford’s guiding principles is viewing challenges as opportunities for growth.

Every project provides lessons that can improve future planning, communication, and decision-making. By reflecting on both successes and setbacks, construction professionals continue strengthening their ability to solve problems more effectively.

“I’ve learned something from every project I’ve worked on,” Bradford explains. “Those experiences help prepare you for the next challenge.”

Continuous improvement allows professionals to develop greater confidence while improving overall project performance.

Preparation Makes a Difference

While unexpected situations cannot always be avoided, Terrance Bradford Tampa, FL believes preparation significantly reduces their impact.

Careful planning, organized documentation, realistic scheduling, and proactive communication help teams anticipate many common challenges before construction begins.

“The more prepared you are, the more options you have when something unexpected occurs,” Bradford says. “Preparation gives teams flexibility.”

Strong preparation also allows projects to remain focused on long-term objectives instead of reacting to every short-term obstacle.

Building Stronger Construction Teams

Bradford believes problem-solving is ultimately a team effort. Encouraging collaboration and creating an environment where individuals feel comfortable sharing ideas often leads to better solutions.

“No single person has every answer,” he explains. “When people work together and bring different perspectives, they’re able to solve problems more effectively.”

Creating a collaborative culture strengthens not only project outcomes but also long-term professional relationships.

Looking Ahead

As construction projects continue becoming more complex, Terrance Bradford Tampa, FL believes problem-solving will remain one of the industry’s most valuable skills. Professionals who combine preparation, communication, adaptability, and collaboration are better equipped to navigate challenges while delivering successful results.

For Bradford, construction has always been about more than building structures. It is about bringing people together, overcoming obstacles, and continuously finding better ways to serve clients and strengthen communities. By approaching every challenge with a solutions-focused mindset, he believes construction professionals can continue delivering quality work while building trust that lasts well beyond project completion.

Numerai Completes Third Strategic NMR Buyback, Bringing Total Repurchases to $3.2 Million

San Francisco, CA, July 17th, 2026, Chainwire

Crowdsourced Hedge Fund Completes Third Open-Market Purchase as Contributor Network and Assets Continue to Grow

Numerai, the decentralized hedge fund powered by crowdsourced machine learning, today announced the completion of a third strategic purchase of Numeraire (NMR), acquiring an additional $1.2 million of the token from the open market. The purchase brings Numerai’s total NMR buybacks to $3.2 million within one year.

The buyback reflects Numerai’s continued investment in the staking system that aligns thousands of independent data scientists toward improving the firm’s Stake-Weighted Meta Model, the machine learning model that powers Numerai’s hedge fund. Contributors stake NMR on their models, earning additional NMR when their predictions perform well on future market data and losing it when they do not. The resulting Stake-Weighted Meta Model continues to outperform Numerai’s internal benchmark models, demonstrating the value of aligning incentives with predictive performance.

Since announcing its first strategic buyback in July 2025, Numerai’s network has expanded significantly. Active accounts have more than doubled over the past year, submissions continue to increase, and the platform has introduced new infrastructure including Numerai Skills, Numerai Model Context Protocol (MCP), and Atomic Blockchain Staking, enabling increasingly autonomous participation by AI systems.

The underlying hedge fund has also continued to grow. According to the company, Numerai now manages approximately $700 million in assets, up from approximately $560 million at the end of 2025.

Numeraire is a fixed-supply Ethereum token capped at 11 million NMR. Because tournament rewards and staking incentives are distributed from Numerai’s treasury, the company is replenishing its holdings through open-market purchases. Before this buyback, approximately 3.1 million NMR remained in Numerai’s treasury.

Unlike the previous two announcements, this buyback had already been completed before today’s announcement. As with prior purchases, the transaction was executed on the open market through Coinbase Institutional at or near the bid price over several weeks to minimize market impact.

Past performance is not indicative of future results. This content does not represent an offer to purchase or sell any security or the interests of any account managed by Numerai GP, LLC or its affiliates. Such an offer may only be made to persons who qualify to invest and in jurisdictions in which such an offer is legal.

About Numerai

Numerai is a San Francisco-based hedge fund and data science platform founded in 2015. Through a global competition and open API, thousands of data scientists submit stock market signals that are aggregated into a single Meta Model used to trade global equities. Numeraire (NMR) is used to stake and reward models that improve the fund. Numerai’s mission is to build the world’s last hedge fund through open, competitive machine intelligence.

“We’ve always believed the safest protocols will ultimately win. That’s why we’ve invested heavily in audits, operational security, staking architecture, and now the largest insurance program in the industry. We are excited to partner with Nexus Mutual to make this a reality,” said Mike Silagadze, Founder & CEO of ether.fi.

“We’ve known the ether.fi team since before it was ether.fi, and they’ve been focused on risk from day one. Covering their users for up to 15,000 ETH in slashing penalties is a historic step, and we’re proud they chose Nexus Mutual to take it with them,” said Hugh Karp, Founder of Nexus Mutual.

About ether.fi

ether.fi is the leading onchain neobank for digital asset management. With $6B+ in AUM across Cash (crypto card), Stake (restaking), and Liquid (liquid restaking derivatives), ether.fi has established category dominance in crypto neobanking.
