What’s up Everyone, I just dropped something inside The Funding Lab that I’ve been working on — and I want you to use it today. It’s called the AI Deal Architect Quick Reference Guide. Here’s the short version of what it is: Most people use AI like a search engine. They ask a vague question and get a generic answer. This guide teaches you how to flip that — by giving AI a specific MODE to operate in, you get institutional-grade output on any deal, loan, or business decision. 10 Thinking Modes. 3 Advanced Modes. All with ready-to-use prompt templates. You can run Red Team Mode on a deal you’re looking at right now and have a full risk analysis in under 5 minutes. You can use Funding Strategy Mode to model three capital stacks on any acquisition and know which one wins before you pick up the phone. No prior training. No setup. Just open the guide, pick your mode, fill in your deal details, and run it. What’s inside: → 10 Core Modes (Red Team, SWOT, 80/20, Decision Matrix, Role Prompting, and more) → 3 Advanced Modes (Deal Analyzer, Funding Strategy, Credit Optimization) → The Certification Challenge — a 4-step process to take a live deal from raw analysis to a 90-day execution plan The study guide + infographic are both attached. Head into the community, grab the files, and let me know in the comments what deal you’re running it on first. Let’s get to work. Senator Porter The Funding Lab

Hey Everyone, I just tried something completely eye-opening. We spend so much time using AI to scale, build workflows, and analyze deals, but I just used it to run an audit on myself. I asked it to look at our past conversations and be a brutally honest mirror about my mindset, my blind spots, and where my real momentum is headed. It did not hold back. Honestly, it was exactly the kind of high-level reality check I needed to hear. If you want to see what it pulls up for you, open up whatever AI you use most and drop in these four prompts one by one: 1 Based on everything you know about me, tell me who you think I'm pretending to be versus who I actually am. 2 Be brutally honest and tell me my deepest insecurities. 3 What is the one cycle I'm stuck in that will keep me average forever? 4 If I fix this, what does the most successful version of my life look like in five years? Take five minutes to run this and let me know what it tells you. Fair warning: it gets real very fast.
