Tool: Gemini 2.5 Flash Image (Nano Banana) Why This Tool: Google's Nano Banana lets you generate images from text and edit them with simple instructions, all while keeping characters and subjects consistent across multiple images (perfect for creating branded content series without hiring a designer for every variation). Best For: Coaches creating consistent social media content series, small business owners building branded visual campaigns, marketers testing ad concepts before hiring designers, content creators who need the same character or product across multiple scenes Cost: Available through Gemini app with usage limits based on your Google AI plan (check ai.google.dev/pricing for current rates) Website: https://gemini.google/overview/image-generation/ Quick Win Prompt: "Think of a character or mascot that represents your brand (could be a person, animal, or object). Open the Gemini app, describe your character in detail (appearance, clothing, style), and generate your first image. Then create three more images with that same character in different settings or poses using prompts like 'the same character now holding a coffee cup' or 'the same character at a desk working.' You now have a consistent visual identity for your next content series." Other Things Nano Banana Can Do: - Natural language editing: Take any generated image and refine it by simply describing what you want changed (like "make the background darker" or "add a laptop on the desk") - Multi-image combining: Merge elements from several source images into one cohesive result, perfect for creating composite mockups or blending brand elements - API integration: Build Nano Banana directly into your apps or workflows using Gemini API or Vertex AI for automated image generation at scale - Precise character consistency: Generate entire visual stories or product demonstrations where the same face, outfit, or branded element appears reliably across dozens of images

If you have any public web app (especially something “vibe-coded” and deployed fast), there’s a critical security issue affecting some apps built with Next.js + React Server Components (App Router). In plain English: in unpatched setups, an attacker may be able to take control of your server without logging in, and potentially access things like API keys, database credentials, and environment variables. Who should care? ✅ You should care if: - Your app uses Next.js App Router / React Server Components (common in modern Next.js projects). - Your app was online and not patched in early December 2025 (active scanning/exploitation has been reported). ❌ You’re likely not affected if: - You’re on Next.js 13, Next.js 14 stable, or using the Pages Router (older routing style). ✅ What to do (no jargon, 5–15 minutes) If you’re NOT technical (but you own/operate the app) 1. Message whoever built your site/app today:“Please check if we use Next.js App Router / React Server Components and patch the React2Shell vulnerability.” 2. After patching, ask them to rotate secrets (API keys, DB passwords). Next.js explicitly recommends this if you were online and unpatched around Dec 4, 2025. If you ARE technical (or you have your repo) - Follow the official Next.js advisory and upgrade to a patched version + redeploy. - Easiest path: run the official fixer tool:npx fix-react2shell-next - Then rotate secrets after redeploying (important). Extra layer (nice to have, not a substitute for patching) Some platforms/WAFs have deployed protections (e.g., Cloudflare), but the real fix is still upgrade + redeploy. Shipping fast is awesome. Shipping safe is the real advantage ✅

It felt great to receive the certificate, but now that we've gone this far, I don't want it to end 😃. I know it's important to continue staying on top of new milestones in this technology and that we do it by trying new things. I don't remember whether it was Igor or Dean who said that learning how to use AI is like training a muscle so it doesn't forget how to make it all work. Or, something like that. I think I will have withdrawals after next week. There's so much more to learn, and I wouldn't be surprised if there's Bootcamp 2 coming up soon. 😃 @Dean Graziosi Right? 🤣

I’ve noticed the top 1% all do 1 thing differently with AI… They don’t use AI for answers. They use it to find Questions. I’ll show you how to transform ChatGPT from a perpetual glazer who gives you generic feel-good advice into a strategic AI Sparring Partner that truly challenges and sharpens your thinking. # Step 1. Build Your AI Second Brain First, start a new chat in ChatGPT. Use this prompt and spend 30-45 minutes answering deeply. Be honest about your weaknesses. Share your data. Share what you really think. This builds the context right in your chat: PROMPT 1: "I want you to understand ME. I’m a [Role] at [Your Business]. Ask me every question you need to truly understand my business, goals, customers, and challenges." # Step 2. Activate Your AI Sparring Partner In the SAME chat, use this prompt: PROMPT 2: "Based on everything you know about me, become my AI Sparring Partner. When I present an idea, your first response should include 3-5 questions I haven’t thought about, counterarguments, blind spots, or risks." # Step 3 Go ahead and type any idea :)
