🚀 Sora Hacks, LinkedIn AI Makeovers & NotebookLM Breakthroughs: Week 12

💬 Day 56 – Monday, October 13, 2025
Perry: Vibe Coding from the Cruise & Event Learnings

Broadcasting live from the Ignite Mastermind Cruise (featuring "unlimited ice cream, food, and whiskey"), Perry dropped pure vibe coding magic from the high seas. The gem? Replit’s hidden High Power Model toggle — 5x more costly, but wildly more capable. Perry used it to transform a rough speed-to-lead app into a polished, investor-ready SaaS for $11 flat.

He walked us through "One to One," a browser-based app that instantly opens live video calls when demo requests come in — plus Slack notifications in seconds. He shared his final QC prompt framework (unit, integration, system, end-to-end, regression) and warned about letting app testing autonomy drain your credits.

The community then took over with shared learnings from Growth Hacking Live and the cruise — proving once again that real-world events + AI = exponential clarity.

Coach Deb: Canva AI Deep Dive & Sora Social Network Strategy

Cowboy hat on and camera rolling, Deb dove into Canva’s Magic Studio, showing how it’s grown into a one-click powerhouse for video, slides, and social content. She walked through watermark removal tools, N8N workflows, and reminded everyone to lock your Sora username now — before you’re stuck being @YourName127.

Deb’s bigger point: “From now on, don’t believe anything you see in video.” Deepfakes and Sora visuals are merging with reality fast. Her real-world comparison to TikTok naming regrets drove the urgency home.

She closed with a check-in on how people are applying last week's lessons and kept engagement high with polls (morning people vs night owls) and implementation questions.

Angie & Chuck: NotebookLM Case Study – From Café to Implementation

In the debut of AI Party Tricks Case Study, Angie featured Chuck Mott — a self-proclaimed "techno troglodyte" who now runs a fully AI-powered news outlet. It all started with a conversation on the cruise, recorded casually and transformed via NotebookLM into a podcast that referenced Dallas TV facts no one mentioned.

Chuck’s transformation story is wild: from driving checks to banks to secretly emailing AI-generated podcasts to his Nevada News and Views list. Nobody noticed. Now, his politics-disinterested daughter uses AI to run the content side, saving $50k/year. Perry’s advice from a year ago to “rebuild the site with AI” paid off.

💬 Day 59 – Thursday, October 16, 2025
Russell: LinkedIn AI Makeover & The AI Bubble Reality Check

Russell opened with a mindset shift: “If the solution exists but doesn’t work for your use case, build your own.” Then he dropped macro AI perspective — from Nvidia’s $8T market cap ambitions to Meta’s Texas server farms and chip shortages delaying the real AI boom until 2027.

In practical terms, he showed how to screenshot your full LinkedIn profile with Go Full Page, then feed it to GPT for a total rewrite of headlines, about section, and positioning. Simultaneously, he tested Cora’s Consistency Character tool — trying to superimpose his face onto Cooper Flagg’s dunk.

Bonus: shared a Google Doc of top LinkedIn prompt templates — a goldmine.

💬 Day 60 – Friday, October 17, 2025
Angie & Russell: The Great ChatGPT Fingerprint Experiment

What happens when everyone asks the same prompts to different GPTs? Angie and Russell proved AI responses are as unique as fingerprints. Their side-by-side prompt tests ranged from:

• Emoji prompts (Russell’s was a tanned bicep 💪, others got mountain climbers or wine glasses)
• Motivational quote prompts starting with "Imagine..."
• Pizza analogies explaining AI to kids (anti-mushroom coalition confirmed)
• Newsletter tagline rewrites (some use M-dashes, some use Oxford commas)

The session’s insight? No two GPTs are alike — your custom instructions, tone, and training shape everything.

Russell's GPT even refused to use emojis... just like he trained it to. 🤯
