Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Leverage Your Strengths and Passions (00:00–01:00)

• Personalization is Key: Tristan emphasizes the importance of integrating your hobbies and daily activities into your social media presence.

  • "If you use your strengths and the things that you love, your hobbies... if you use that to show up on social media a lot more, you will gain a lot of traction." (00:00)

• Introducing the Prompt: Tristan presents a fill-in-the-blank prompt anyone can use to simplify content creation.

  • "Daily trending topic prompt. It's kind of like plug and play... Each morning at 5am, give me one trending topic in the area of [your magic word]." (01:09)

• How It Works:

  • Fill in your favorite topic or area—real estate, swimming, gardening, journals, etc.
  • The prompt generates a trending topic based on real-time online conversations.
  • For each topic, it provides:
    1. A simple explanation of the trend
    2. Why it matters
    3. Three practical actions you can take today—teach, post, or create around it
  • "Write everything in natural language. That's it. That's it." (01:42)

  • The prompt delivers: "Today's trend AI power journaling prompts."
  • Trend Explained: More people are using AI apps to generate journal prompts, reducing overwhelm when starting a blank page.
• Suggested Actions:
  1. Educational Post: "Explain that most people quit journaling because they do not know what to write." (03:12)
  2. Personal Sharing: "Show how you use AI to generate three custom prompts—for example, clarify today's top priority, check in on one habit, notice one small win." (03:26)

4. Why This Works for Real Estate (and Beyond) (03:03–04:30)
