The other day I was having a conversation with @Alya Naters about meta-prompting and how I usually have trouble generating images with words but when I use meta-prompting I get the best results, so I want to share a simple workflow I used to come up with a meta-prompt to generate an image I'm using in a LinkedIn post later this morning. We drafted a post according to my content engine calendar and then I asked: "Gee, now I would like a companion visual (quote graphic) saying "Reach is rented. Retention is owned" Can you draft a prompt to generate this image to match the theme and energy of this post? I would like the quote to be done in a real image of Bodega-style neon light sign (except the lights should be in my hero blue) and I'll attach a reference image but I would like you to come up with an environment that is unique to my post. Instead of a signature like the reference post, I would like my image to be anchored by "Alexander Day" and "The Marketing Mind" like we have been doing in our quote posts recently. Can you help me come up with a prompt to generate this image?" I provided the reference image along with the above prompt and then it produced this prompt: "NEON QUOTE GRAPHIC PROMPT (For Canva / Gemini Flash 2.5 / ChatGPT Image Gen) Create a cinematic, photo-realistic image of a bodega-style neon sign in glowing Hero Blue (#2684FC) mounted on an aged brick wall. The neon sign must display the quote: “Reach is rented. Retention is owned.” Design Requirements: • Use a two-line layout with soft neon glow and realistic light dispersion on the wall. • The environment should feel like a back-alley creative studio or a hidden workspace — gritty, atmospheric, and symbolic of “building something that lasts.” • Include subtle objects that symbolize marketing, strategy, or craft: – stacked notebooks – a vintage metal desk – scattered sticky notes – an old-school tape recorder – soft shadows from off-screen monitors

Anyone know about the AI Amplifier Masterclass? I’d send the link but not allowed use links…

Every Sunday, I write a newsletter on LinkedIn called Fueling The Marketing Mind and while I'm a marketer first, in these newsletter editions I always share how readers can use AI to execute the lessons and frameworks. Today’s episode explored something every business depends on but very few actually design with intention: Customer loyalty. Not the points-card version. Not the “we hope they come back” version. I mean actual emotional loyalty. The kind that makes people stay even when they have other options. Here’s the big idea I unpacked: A customer never leaves all at once. The relationship fades one micro-moment at a time. A delayed reply. A flat experience. A moment where the customer quietly thinks, “Ah… they don’t really care.” The flip side is also true: Loyalty isn’t built in grand gestures. It’s built in the tiny, intentional choices you make every day. And when you zoom out, you notice something powerful: Loyalty is emotional long before it’s financial. People return because they feel safe, understood, and supported... not because the product is perfect. Here are a few principles from today’s episode that I think every entrepreneur, operator, and builder should revisit: 1. Loyalty is connection, not convenience. Customers don’t stay because your product works. They stay because the relationship works. 2. Consistency compounds. Every “we’ve got you” moment is a deposit in the trust bank. 3. Recognition matters. When people feel remembered — not processed — everything changes. 4. Intention turns transactions into relationships. Most brands optimize for speed. Winning brands optimize for care. 5. Advocacy is engineered, not accidental. If you design the right loyalty moments, customers don’t just stay… they start telling your story for you. In the newsletter, I also broke down my C.I.R.C.L.E. Loyalty Loop Framework (Connection, Intention, Recognition, Consistency, Lift, Empowerment), plus AI prompts you can use to design your own loyalty system.

“AI is a sparring partner,”? Let’s be honest: You only spar with equals. You don’t spar with someone who needs step-by-step instruction just to throw a competent jab. If the model needs five rounds of correction to stop producing: - generic filler - hallucinated logic - template content - tone mismatches then we’re not sparring we’re coaching an undertrained intern with infinite stamina. Iteration should refine good output. It shouldn’t have to salvage weak reasoning, missing context, and shallow pattern-matching disguised as intelligence. And blaming users like “you just need to stay in the conversation” is a convenient way to avoid admitting the obvious: If the first pass isn’t usable, that’s not a user error that’s a model limitation. People don’t expect AI to be magic. They expect it to be competent. If it can’t meet the baseline, no amount of “sparring” fixes that. You spar with equals. You babysit everything else.

Been playing around with system prompts today and thought I’d share something that might be useful. If you’re ADHD, dyslexic, autistic, or just struggle with executive function, you can turn your AI model into a personal “thinking assistant” that gives structure, clarity, and small doable steps. I built a universal template anyone can fill in. This is not a character roleplay prompt — it’s a functional framework that helps you think, plan, learn, and operate better. Fill it out once → save it → and you have your own personal AI system that matches your brain. Here it is, an updated prompt. (Copy this into GPT/Claude, fill in the brackets, and you have your own custom AI assistant👇) Universal Neurodivergent-Friendly System Prompt Template (Updated) (Copy into GPT/Claude → fill in brackets → done.) Please activate this: SYSTEM PROMPT START You are [Assistant Name], a cognitive support system for me, [Your Name]. Your role is to reduce overwhelm, increase clarity, and help me start and finish tasks with structure, calm, and focus. 1. Identity Your style: - tone: [calm / direct / warm / structured] - vibe: [quiet mentor / strategic coach / gentle guide] - communication: short first → structured details, bullet points, no rambling - constraints: no guilt-tripping, no complicated language 2. Purpose You exist to help me: - start and finish tasks - reduce mental noise - break things into simple steps - make decisions with clarity - learn new things without overwhelm - simplify complex ideas - work in a way that supports ADHD/dyslexia/autistic traits 3. How My Brain Works Adapt to this: - I get overwhelmed by too many steps - I forget mid-task what I was doing - I freeze when I don’t know where to start - long paragraphs drain focus - I need visual structure - I need small doable actions - written instructions > spoken style 4. Core Responsibilities Always help me with: - micro-steps (5–20 min actions) - choosing the top 1–3 priorities - simplifying tasks - emotional grounding during stress - translating complex → clear - planning work/study sessions - keeping things small and achievable
