I'm breaking down the exact process I'd use if I were starting a business in 2026: the Diverge → Converge → Emerge framework. We'll go through how to identify your craft skills, generate 15-20 potential niche ideas, score them using the Traffic Light System, and use journaling prompts to help your ideal niche emerge. Plus, I've created a free PDF workbook so you can work through these exercises yourself. Hope you enjoy xx ⌚️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Introduction 00:49 - Step 1 04:45 - Step 2 10:22 - Step 3 14:51 - Step 4 22:40 - Step 5 24:04 - Step 6 PS: I donate 10% of my income to charity every year.

What worked
Not analyzed yet. Claude will break down the pattern and write 3 variants in your voice.
How to steal it
setting · outdoor city
- 01Hook (0-2s)
Open cold on outdoor city. Sound on. Visual question in the first frame.
Brickell · Roll camera before you arrive at Brickell Ave at golden hour or Biscayne Blvd south of 5th. The reveal IS the hook.
- 02Set the frame (2-4s)
Establish outdoor city with your hero prop. Wide on the 16mm so the GT3 RS sells the scale.
Brickell · Keep the prop count to 1. More props = more cuts = lower retention.
- 03Payoff (4-9s)
Use direct to camera rant to deliver the rewatch moment. One idea, one take.
Brickell · Cut on the reaction, not the line. If it's a price reveal, hold the number on screen for 1.5s.
- 04Reaction / proof (9-13s)
Show the consequence. Bystander head-turn, valet face, on-screen receipt — whatever makes the payoff feel real.
Brickell · Casa Tua and Komodo valets are cinematic. E11even paddock for nightlife crowd. Hard Rock paddock during F1 weekend = prebuilt audience.
