Perry: 2026 Predictions Preview + The Claude Skills Stack Revelation

Perry kicks off Week 15 with a fresh haircut and 30 bold predictions for 2026, tailored for $10M+ entrepreneurs at the Driven Mastermind Q4 session. But before diving into the crystal ball, he drops a bombshell: the Claude Skills Stack is changing everything.

He built 36 Claude Skills over the weekend—only to find the limit is 20 per account, prompting a multi-account workaround. He breaks down the AI stack hierarchy:

1. ChatGPT for encyclopedia-style Q&A
2. Custom GPTs for repeatable no-memory tasks
3. Projects for continuity and memory
4. Claude Skills for layered expertise

The Skills use case?

Train Claude as a probate attorney, paralegal, and legal researcher—and it blends them seamlessly. James from NJ used this setup to write a motion to oppose summary judgment, outperforming some human attorneys.

Claude + MCPs (Model Context Protocols) = output that’s “100x better than anything else.”

His core message? AI doesn’t give you the right answer — it gives you the answer you like.

Angie: The Origin Story of AI Party Tricks (Birthday Week Edition)

It’s Angie’s birthday week (Scorpio season!) and she shares the personal story behind AI Party Tricks. Growing up biracial, introverted, and constantly moving, she learned to disarm fear through performance and play. Today, she applies the same approach to AI.

🛫 On a plane, she meets a 70-something man with a flip phone planning a 90-day, 25-person Vegas trip. She shows him how ChatGPT builds itineraries, travel links, and allergy-aware agendas in seconds. His response? “I think I’ll buy a smartphone.”

🛼 At the roller rink, she helps a mom tackle complex homework with AI. Now she uses it to help all three kids learn at their own pace.

The lesson: AI Party Tricks don’t sell AI—they build confidence.

She closes with a chilling note: as Sora's watermark disappears, "believe nothing you see" becomes the new reality.

Russell: Web Scraping + Humanized Content Writers (OpenAI Assistants Deep Dive)

Tech Thursday comes early as Russell demos how to scale SEO content without sounding robotic. He starts with Web Scraper on Home & Gardens, auto-detecting 18 articles, images, and URLs, downloading them into Google Sheets.

Then comes the twist: he builds "Tricia," a fictional 20-year old SEO veteran using GPT system instructions with traits, routines, tone, and emotional nuance. When asked for Christmas tree advice, Tricia’s output sounds real, human, and branded.

Russell explains: OpenAI Assistants ≠ Custom GPTs. Assistants live at platform.openai.com/assistants and support programmatic use, memory, and custom tools. He’s using GPT-4 for best quality but hints at Mini model swaps to reduce cost.

Russell: Nana Banana Merch Mockups – From Printful to Scroll-Stopping Models

Thursday continues with print-on-demand automation. Russell starts with a psychedelic Ignite cruise tee via Printful, downloading high-res mockups (10.5-inch, 300 DPI) on Bella+Canvas 3001 tees.

Then the Nana Banana magic begins:

• Upload flat mockup + prompt “40-year-old wearing black tee”
• Add actions: “peeking over shoulder,” “laughing with beer in hand,” “dancing and spilling beer like TikTok video”
• Try with female models on a cruise: same mockups, instant realism

Result?

Scroll-stopping mockups without paid models or photographers.

Bonus: this approach beats Printful’s mockup upgrade packages and creates viral-ready visuals. Russell confirms: “Yes, that beer spilling guy may have actually been me.”

Emma & Kenia Kelly: Deep Research to Custom GPT in 5 Minutes (Study & Learn Feature)

Emma redeems a missed Thursday by tagging in Kenia Kelly, Queen of TikTok, to showcase how anyone can go from overwhelmed to AI-powered content machine in under 5 minutes.

Step-by-step:

1. Use Deep Research mode on ChatGPT to analyze everything Kenia has said about content strategies
2. Upload the summary to a new custom GPT
3. Add voice, tone, style (coach + influencer), colors (pink/purple/gold), and content types
4. Test with: “Create a post about growing on Instagram in 30 days.”

Output: post, caption, hashtags, visual prompt. Emma adjusts the prompt to “make this super valuable” and the improvement is instant.

Key takeaway: Study & Learn = Einstein-level training mode for building expert-level assistants. And yes, this GPT now helps Kenia’s VA reply in her voice.
