The Math & Magic of Momentum (My New Brand?)

What if your brand could be reduced to three words? In this behind-the-scenes episode, I show you exactly how I used AI (ChatGPT — aka Charlie) to sharpen my branding. I started with a long podcast description. Then shorter. Then tighter. Then 10 words. 9 words. 8 words. All the way down to 1. Some were too “Tony Robbins Hallmark card.” Some were too vague. Some were just… wrong. But eventually, something clicked. Math. Magic. Momentum. In this video, you’ll see: ✨ How constraints create clarity 📉 Why shorter messaging is harder (and better) ⚔️ How villain vs hero language shapes branding 🧠 Why momentum might be the real product 🎯 And how AI can sharpen your thinking (if you challenge it) This isn’t about replacing creativity. It’s about refining it. If you’re building a brand, writing a book, launching a keynote, or simply trying to explain what you do in one sentence — this process might help.
