I have started a youtube series and needed thumbnails, these articles on my substack will have a youtube video to go with, which will also share on social, and the video will be embeded in the article also, I wanted this whole flywheel thing to happen with my AI content writing!!! It worked!!! Image on left what Claude created to go with article, middle image chatGPT viral thumbnail attempt, 3rd image w/ my picture inserted!!! Thanks to @Lindsay Hack this took 5 mins, it's the improvment that blows my mind......don't settle for the first go with images from your favorite tool, go to another tool and adapt!!!

Here is the full recording of our June 24 build, plus everything you need to use your tool and keep going. We built personalized carousel makers, in our own brands, in under 60 minutes. @Molly Dowdy even posted hers to Facebook before we finished. That is how fast this is. Watch the replay, then use the quick reference below so you do not have to scrub back through the video to remember a step. In this lesson - The full workshop recording. - Your tool file, attached. Download it, open it in your browser, never in an AI. - Your How To Use It guide, the SOP, attached. The key things to remember These are the moments people forget. Bookmark this lesson so you can come back to them. + Use Duplicate, not Add. This is the speed secret. Duplicate carries every setting forward, your colors, layout, and toggles, so you only change the words. Add gives you a blank slide and makes you start over. Duplicate almost every time. + Set your brand, then keep your tool the right way. Set up your brand once. The tool now remembers it when you reopen the same file. For a permanent copy that opens in your brand on any browser, click Download my tool, open that downloaded file, and bookmark that one. That is your real studio. + Download the moment you love a design. Your slides are not saved until you export. If you refresh or close before exporting, unsaved edits are gone. When a slide looks right, Export PNGs and save it. Aim for 5 to 7 slides. That is the sweet spot for Instagram carousels. Long enough to teach, short enough to hold attention. + Logo tip. A transparent PNG looks cleanest. But if your transparent logo looks odd, upload the regular version and let the tool place it in a box. Sometimes the box looks better. Use whichever fits your logo. Fewer than 4 brand colors? Fill the empty slots with black or white. They go with everything and keep your slides clean. Repurpose every carousel across platforms One build, many posts. Use your exported PNGs for:

Prompt I used ..... A low-angle vertical portrait of this woman standing in a dominant power stance on a modern glass skywalk. She is wearing a sharply tailored, pristine white business suit that contrasts beautifully against the vibrant turquoise of the sky above. [ hair style] , framing her face and highlighting her silver nose ring. The natural light of high noon creates sharp, clean shadows, emphasizing her confident expression. Shot on a 35mm lens at f/2.8, the image features ultra-realistic skin texture, hyper-detailed pores, fine lines, and subtle imperfections. The macro detail reveals natural pigmentation variation and a realistic skin tone with warm undertones. The background is a blur of vibrant city architecture, focusing all attention on her authoritative presence and the authentic dermatological texture of her skin. One on Left is Original

This is OK......but feels unnatural and stiff.......any ideas @Lindsay Hack

A little behind-the-scenes story about this image. The photo you're looking at wasn't taken in a studio. It wasn't the result of a photographer, makeup artist, lighting crew, or design agency. It was created with AI. And the reason I can create images like this today is because of @Lindsay Hack When most people think about AI, they think about content generation, chatbots, prompts, and automation. Lindsay saw something different. She saw identity. She saw visual storytelling. She saw the opportunity to help people present themselves in a way that aligns with who they truly are and who they are becoming. Over the last year, I've watched Lindsay develop an incredible ability to bridge technology, branding, personal identity, and visual presence. And somewhere along the way, she taught me a few things too. Including how to create images like this one. What I appreciate most about Lindsay isn't the technology. It's the thinking behind it. Because the goal isn't to create fake images. The goal is to create congruent images. Images that communicate confidence, energy & authority. The same qualities that already exist inside the person. That's what makes her work so powerful. If you've been wondering how AI fits into your personal brand, your business, your visibility, or your next chapter, you're in exactly the right community. Lindsay isn't teaching gimmicks. She's teaching entrepreneurs how to become visually aligned with the future version of themselves they're building. And that's a very different conversation. Thank you, Lindsay, for sharing your expertise, your creativity, and your willingness to teach all of us what's possible.
