I’m fascinated by the human mind. 

So I'm letting my curiosity get the best of me and sharing how the human mind shapes the way we move through business, money and everyday decisions. 

Because once you understand the mind, nothing feels random anymore. 

You (& your business) will be forever thankful. 

And in my spare time?
Genius. Billionaire. Playboy. Philanthropist.

Client Manager

So… let’s finally talk about it. 

I disappeared for 12 months (hi hello) 

Jan 2025: Shared I landed in Bangkok after booking a one-way ticket. 

Then *silence* 

That was naughty but 100% on brand lol.

So wtf happened Sabeeka?!

Let me bring all 19,878 of you up to speed: 

Jan 25: Fell in love with Bangkok 
Feb 25: Highs and lows in Malaysia 
March 25: Side-missions to Penang
April 25: Endless food comas in Langkawi
May 25: Glimpse of paradise at Koh Lipe
June: 25: Bangkok shenanigans X2
July 25: Bali. Singapore. Vietnam
August/Dec 25: Recovery in Bali

It was a wild year indeed. 

Yesterday I said adios to chill island life. 

Today? 

Writing this on zero sleep in a tiny hotel room, in a city that doesn’t sleep. Tiktok/Chatgpt is blocked. Lost in a concrete maze. 

(Any guesses?)

All this to say… 

It’s time I starting showing up again. I’ve deleted many versions of this post. 

So here I am unapolegetically being myself on a random Wednesday. 

I had a blast offline discovering Asia, living my digital nomad dream (still am) 

But like you, I too have new exciting goals to attack 
So it’s GO TIME.

The 1 year NO posting streak is over. 
(Does this mean I win LinkedIn?)  

Sooo if you’re into growth, random stories, sales psychology or unhinged like moi and sick of the AI slop you will love it here. 

It’s good to finally be back. 

Hope you enjoy the ride 🫡

No alternative text description for this image

New revenue record: £0 
But for the first time RICHER than ever. 

Maybe cos it’s my BDAY 🥳
Maybe cos i’m in HONG KONG 🇭🇰
Maybe it’s Maybelline 😂

For years I tied my worth to milestones.
(Take a seat. We’re all guilty) 

“If I make more money then….”
“If I start this thing then….” 
“If I hit this goal then…” 

As much as I wanna beautifully sob in my Lambo none of the above fulfils the void. 

And I was embarrassed to admit neither did travelling, those first initial months. Your shadows follow you wherever u go… 

But I’ve finally hit IDGAF age 

Had an epiphany moment at Victoria peak mesmerised by the insane views. 

“I made it.” 

- moved outta my boring UK town alone
- booked a 1 way ticket to Bangkok 
- 373 days of solo travelling Asia (so far!) 
- make internet money when + how I want 
- focused on health, experiences + creating 
- doing what I want, when I want!!!

Like HELLO. 
I’m living my dream!!

So many people want this. And somewhere along the way u forget - because the goal posts keep on moving. 

Don’t get me wrong… 

I’m more ambitious than ever 
I’m more aligned than ever 
I’m more me than ever 

Goals galore but detached. 

Right now im focused on nailing sales and applying the neuroscience behind us humane. 

[sidenote: hangry af so gonna wrap it up] 

So if you’re stuck in the loop.

Stop. 

You’re probably already living pieces of your dream. Open your eyes amigo. 

Recognise them. Recognise your journey. 

And then keep on going 🥰

PS matter of fact where is everyone from and what car we crying in??

2 types of people in the world… 

One climbs Taipei 101 in 90 mins for free bcos he’s bored 

Me: pays £14.18 to ride the super duper fast 37 second elevator to floor 89 for the views BEHIND glass. 

We are not the same 😂


P.s I missed him by 3 days dang it! 🇹🇼

You ignore Reddit.

But that's how I find trends before you:

1. Go to Reddit. Find a relevant post in your niche.
2. Add /.json to the end of that URL.
3. Copy metadata (it has entire thread with replies).
4. Go to Grok to extract pain, limitations & needs.
5. Copy this Grok prompt (paste the meta data):
6. Use this prompt guide: https://lnkd.in/dz9BGuPg

Prompt:

"Here's the JSON of a Reddit conversation around: "[REDDIT POST TOPIC]". Extract the pain points, make 5 viral hooks (2 lines in one hook) on the same.

The viral hooks should be on the same format, style and tone as these 3 hooks that got results.

///Hook 1
[paste a good hook example]
///Hook 2
[paste a good hook example]
///Hook 3
[paste a good hook example]
JSON: [REDDIT META DATA]"

7. Go to Claude to turn the pain into a Linkedin post.
8. Copy this Claude prompt (+ grok's answer):
9. Use this prompt guide: https://lnkd.in/e87Kdy5Z

Prompt:

"Act like a LinkedIn ghostwriter who writes posts that get saved + shared.
Goal: Create 5 LinkedIn posts on the new topic.
Use my 4 example LinkedIn posts below that are the most viral ones on linkedin, ever. You must match their structure, pacing, formatting (short lines + whitespace + listical), and “voice” — but the ideas, wording, and hooks must be NEW.

Rules:

- Each post starts with a strong 2-line hook.
- Keep it skimmable
- With 1 clear takeaway + 1 framework (steps)
- End with a CTA that "Repost for others to ......."
- No fluff, no generic advice, no repeated angles across posts.
- Do NOT copy phrases or lines from the examples.

Here are the 4 example posts (study them first):

///Example Post 1
[PASTE POST]
///Example Post 2
[PASTE POST]
///Example Post 3
[PASTE POST]
///Example Post 4
[PASTE POST]
Now write 5 new posts about: [TOPIC]"

People already told you what to write. Now go find it.

♻️ Repost this PDF to help someone start today.

Reddit is a (secret) goldmine: 

Stop telling ChatGPT to “write better”

Copy these 9 prompts instead & see the difference:

1. Cut the Fluff

Don't ask: "Make this shorter"
"Read [text]. Remove every word that doesn't add meaning. Keep the message, lose the fat. Target: 50% shorter. Output: Clean version + list of what you cut and why. Write like you're charging $10 per word."

2. Make Me Care

Don't ask: "Make this more engaging"
Ask: "Take [text] and add emotional weight. Find the human angle. Why should anyone stop scrolling for this? Output: Rewrite + the emotional trigger you used (fear, curiosity, desire, urgency). No drama, just truth that hits."

3. Explain Like I'm Busy

Don't ask: "Simplify this"
Ask: "Rewrite [text] so a busy CEO gets it in 10 seconds. One core idea. No setup, no background, no "in today's world." Start with what matters. Output: Rewrite + the one sentence someone would remember tomorrow."

4. Find My Voice

Don't ask: "Match my tone"
Ask: "Here's how I write [paste 3 samples]. Study my patterns, sentence length, word choice, rhythm, quirks. Now rewrite [text] so it sounds like me, not you. Output: Voice breakdown + rewrite + what you changed to match me."

5. Make it Bold

Don't ask: "Make this stronger"
Ask: "This is too soft [text]. Make it bold. Add opinion. Take a stance. Boring is "tips for productivity." Better is "most productivity advice is garbage, here's what works." Output: Spicier version + the weak phrases you killed."

6. Fix the Flow

Don't ask: "Improve the writing"
Ask: "[Paste text] reads choppy. Fix the rhythm. Mix short punchy lines with longer ones. Add transitions that don't feel forced. Output: Smooth version + before/after of your 3 biggest fixes"

7. One Idea Only

Don't ask: "Focus this"
Ask: "[Paste text] tries to say too much. Find the single strongest point. Build everything around it. Cut the rest. Output: Focused rewrite + the ideas you removed and why they weakened the piece."

8. Write for Skimmers

Don't ask: "Make this scannable"
Ask: "Rewrite [text] for people who won't read every word. Front-load the value. Make the first line earn the second. Structure it so skimming still delivers the point. Output: Skim-friendly version + what you moved and why."

9. Hook Me in 2 Seconds

Don't ask: "Write a better intro"
Ask:"Turn [idea/text] into an opening line for [platform]. Make it impossible to scroll past. Use a pattern interrupt, unexpected stat, bold claim, weird question, or personal confession. Output: 5 hook options ranked by stopping power + why each works."

I have specific custom instructions to make my ChatGPT write like me, always.

✦ Copy my prompt at https://lnkd.in/dCjcTz_A.

To update yours (without copying mine), you must:

1. Go to your settings inside ChatGPT.
2. The settings are on your face (bottom left).
3. Click "personalization" & turn on "customization".
4. You now have access to "custom instructions".

♻️ Repost this prompt to help others with AI.

You're using ChatGPT wrong.

Here's my (exact) setup before I even prompt:

Step 1. Create a Project for your task

→ Click "Projects" → New Project.
→ Name it after your recurring task (e.g., "Hooks").
→ Use this guide to create projects in ChatGPT, Claude & Grok: https://lnkd.in/exfaYnBQ

---

Step 2. Write custom instructions once

→ Inside your Project, click "Instructions."
→ Give context about yourself (copy the template).
→ ChatGPT will remember this in every chat.

Template to copy paste: 
✦ Your role: "[who you are]"
✦ Your style: "[how you write/work]"
✦ Your audience: "[who this is for]"
✦ Banned words: "[words to avoid]"

---

Step 3. Upload your best work as files

→ Click "Files" inside your Project.
→ Upload 2-3 examples of your best work (as .md).
→ Less but quality information. Don't dump 50 doc.
→ More tips here: https://lnkd.in/exfaYnBQ

Pro tip:
✦ Create a Google Doc with only your best stuff
✦ Download as markdown
✦ Upload that single file.

---

Step 4. Turn on 'Extended Thinking'

→ Click the model dropdown
→ Select "thinking" reasoning model.
→ Use it for strategy, analysis, or complex tasks.
→ Yes, it takes longer. The depth is worth it.

---

Step 5. Turn on "Search"

→ Click the search icon before prompting.
→ or simple type "/search" and enter.
→ Use it when you need facts, stats, or current info.
→ It forces to cite sources instead of guessing.

---

Before your next prompt, check these three:

1. Am I inside a Project?
2. Is Extended Thinking on?
3. Is Search on (if I need accuracy)?

Set these first. Then prompt.

Top 1% of ChatGPT users do this. Now you can too.

If you enjoy this kind of setup, reshare it ♻️ to your network to help them setup ChatGPT better, too.

Prompting is the worst way to use ChatGPT.

Here's what the top 1% do instead:

1. Go to ChatGPT & click "Projects" (not Chats).
2. Create a Project for your specific task.
3. Upload your files + write instructions once.
4. Use this set up guide: https://lnkd.in/exfaYnBQ

ChatGPT now remembers everything. Forever.

But here's where it gets powerful:

Before you prompt, turn on these 2 buttons:

1. "Extended Thinking" forces ChatGPT to think before answering.
2. "Web Search" forces ChatGPT to find real sources, not make stuff up.

The secret was never the prompt.
It was the setup. But to be better at prompting,
Use my prompt guide: https://lnkd.in/ducKkADE

I wrote 2 free guides so you can copy my system:

✦ My full setup guide: https://lnkd.in/exfaYnBQ

But these 5 prompts make it embarrassingly easy:

To learn better with AI, use this guide instead: 
→ https://lnkd.in/dcU3kNxJ ←

1. The 80/20 

Prompt: "Shortcut I want to learn [topic] in 20 hours. Build me a plan that focuses only on what matters most. Split it into 10 two-hour blocks. Each block needs: what to learn, one resource, and a quick 15-minute check at the end."

2. The One-Pager 

Prompt: "Compress [topic] into a single page I can review in 5 minutes. Include: core concepts, how they connect, common mistakes, and one real example for each. Make it something I'd actually print and pin on my wall."

3. Teach Me Like I'm New 

Prompt: "Explain [topic] using words a 12-year-old would understand. No jargon. Use stories and comparisons from daily life. End with 3 questions—if I can't answer them, re-explain until I can."

4. The Skill Ladder 

Prompt: "Map [topic] into 5 clear levels. For each level tell me: what I'll be able to do, what to study, how long it takes, and how I'll know I'm ready for the next step. Start from "I know nothing" to "I could teach this.""

5. Beginner Mistakes to Skip 

Prompt: "What do people waste time on when learning [topic]? Give me the 5 biggest traps beginners fall into, why they happen, and what to do instead. Save me weeks of going in circles."

✦ Bonus:

6. The Teach-Back Loop 

Prompt: "Explain [topic] to me simply. I'll repeat it back in my own words. Find what I missed or got wrong. Fill the gaps. Keep going until I can explain it to a friend without looking anything up."

7. Questions That Actually Test Me 

Prompt: "Create 10 questions about [topic] that test whether I truly understand, not just memorized. Make them tricky. After I answer each one, tell me what my answer reveals about my thinking."

8. Connect to What I Already Know 

Prompt: "I already understand [familiar topic]. Use that as my starting point to teach me [new topic]. Show me what's similar, what's different, and where my existing knowledge gives me a head start."

9. Real Scenarios, Real Practice 

Prompt: "Give me 5 situations where I'd actually use [topic] in real life. Walk me through the first one step by step. Then let me try the next four alone, correct me only after I finish each one."

♻️ Repost this image to help others prompt better.

Most people want AI to sound like them. 

But no one does this first (and it takes 47 mins):

Step 1: Download Claude (claude. com/ download)
Open Claude 'Cowork' tab. Select Opus 4.5 model.

Step 2: Copy-paste my interview prompt
From this guide: https://lnkd.in/eF56s4i8
It asks you 100 questions about how you think.

Step 3: Answer every question out loud
Use the Wispr Flow tool. Talk to yourself. Don't type.
Typing makes you edit. Talking makes you honest.

Step 4: Don't tell what you like. Tell what you reject.
Be extremely precise and specific in your answers.
80% of your file should be what you'd never say.

Step 5: Get specific when Claude pushes back
"I keep it simple." → Claude asks: "Simple how?"
Answer: "3 sentences max per paragraph. No semicolons. No words over 3 syllables if a shorter one exists."
The specificity is the taste.

Step 6: Save this text file in .md format
One text file. Your entire brain.

Step 7: Upload it to any AI.
From now on, start every prompt with:
"Read [yourname].md first."

Step 8: Upgrade your .md file 
When your taste changes, upgrade your text file.
Upload it to Claude, prompt to add the changes.

The Don'ts:
✦ Skip the 2-hour interview
✦ Answer vaguely: "I like clarity" (clarity HOW?)
✦ Can't name 10 words you'd never use
✦ Think your voice is too "magical" to capture
✦ Don't know your own cringe triggers
✦ Expect AI to read your mind
✦ Never update your file as you evolve
✦ Blame AI for being generic

The Do's: 
✦ Always use Projects — not blank chats
✦ Always upload your .md file for context
✦ Always turn on "Extended Thinking"
✦ Always turn on "Search" to avoid hallucinations
✦ Always update your .md file every 3-4 months
✦ Always start prompts with "Read [you].md first"
✦ Always document refusals, not just preferences
✦ Always push through the 2-hour interview

Now you know what to do first.

47 mins and a text file to duplicate your brain. 

Most people won't sit for 47 minutes. 
You're not most people.

Full process + my taste file: https://lnkd.in/eF56s4i8

ChatGPT looks like a toy in 2026.

I can't stop using the new Claude 'Cowork':

It reads your files. Directly from your computer. 
No copy-paste. Just upload .md text files.
It sees everything. Then you just... talk to it.

"Read this file. Now write my newsletter on [topic]."

Most people prompt AI like this:
"Write something that sounds like me."

AI has no idea what "like me" means.
So it gives you the average. Then you rewrite again.

Here's what I do instead:

✦ I put myself in a text file. Literally.
✦ My opinions. My writing style. My "do nots."
✦ Access my text file here: https://lnkd.in/eF56s4i8
✦ I drop the file in a folder. Claude reads it first.
✦ Now it writes like me. Thinks like me. Is me.

Here's (exactly) how you can do it too:

1. Open Claude desktop app
2. Go to Cowork tab (top left)
3. Select Opus-4.5 as your model
4. Create a new task
5. Copy my .md file prompt: https://lnkd.in/eF56s4i8
6. Select your folder with your .md file

From now, start every prompt with this:

"Read [your_name].md first. Then [what you need]."

✦ These are the 3 things I didn't expect:

1. 80% of my file is what I'd never write.

Not "I like short sentences."
But "I never use leverage, synergy, or start with In today's fast-paced world."

Taste is boundaries. Not preferences.

2. The file works everywhere.

Same .md file → ChatGPT Projects.
Same .md file → Gemini.
Same .md file → Grok.

I'm just a file now. My brain is portable.

3. My team now thinks like me.

I gave them the file.
Now they don't ask "how would Ruben say this?"
They upload. They prompt. Done.

I duplicated myself without a single meeting.

The uncomfortable truth is you're not unique.

Your "voice" is just patterns you never wrote down.
The moment you write them, they become transferable.

So transfer them. Before someone else does.

I wrote a (free) guide with the copy-paste prompt to turn yourself into a file: https://lnkd.in/eF56s4i8.

How to prompt Gemini for carousels in 2 mins:

1. Go to YouTube. Find a stupidly viral video.
2. Open Gemini to extract content from the video.
3. Copy paste this prompt:

"Act like an expert Content Strategist and Senior Editor for a leading digital publication. Your goal is to repurpose video content into high-value written pieces that drive engagement.

Analyze the following YouTube video: [YOUTUBE LINK].

Part 1: The Extraction
First, provide a comprehensive breakdown of the video content. Do not just summarize; extract the “meat” of the content using the following structure:
Core Thesis: What is the single most important argument or lesson in one sentence?
Key Data/Facts: List specific numbers, case studies, or hard facts mentioned.
Golden Quotes: Extract 3–5 verbatim quotes that are punchy or profound.
The Framework: If the speaker uses a specific step-by-step process or mental model, outline it clearly.

Part 2: The Angles
Based only on the extraction above, pitch 5 narrow, specific article angles.
Constraint: Avoid generic titles like “Summary of [Video Name].”
Requirement: Each angle must take a specific slice of the content and expand on it.
Format: Provide a catchy headline plus a one-sentence premise for each angle.
Example of a “Narrow Angle”
Bad: How to do Sales.
Good: The “3-Call Close” Technique: Why Most Salespeople Fail in the Follow-up."

Do it for the videos you've been "saving for later."

After 10,000+ hours of prompting, I built a single prompt library with every prompt I personally use.

How to (finally) make Claude work inside Excel:

1. Go to the Microsoft Marketplace listing.
2. Click "Get it now" → Install the add-in. 
3. Open Excel (you must have it installed). 
4. Click on "Tools." Add-ins (Mac) or (Windows). 
5. Sign in with your Claude account ($17/mo). 
6. Open any spreadsheet. Click any cell. 
7. Prompt: "Explain this formula in plain English." 
8. Use this prompt guide: https://lnkd.in/gcGWk35x.

No screenshots. It's all hard core excel formulas.

Microsoft's Copilot couldn't do this. 
So Claude did it first.

How to create (viral) sketch infographics with AI: 

1. Go to YouTube.
2. Find an actionable video. Copy the URL.
3. Paste it in Gemini with this prompt:
4. Use this prompt guide: https://lnkd.in/dHFz8wY5

"Analyse this youtube video about [topic]: [YT URL]. Summarise this into direct, actionable steps to follow along."

Let Gemini process the video.

5. Click Tools → Create images.
6. Prompt Gemini again:

"Visualise the summary of these notes. Create a realistic photograph of a dry-erase whiteboard with a light wooden frame. The content should be presented as a hand-drawn sketchnote using 'graphic recording' style. The layout should be in 9:16 format.

Style & Layout Guidelines:

Medium: Whiteboard surface with dry-erase markers (not paper).
Colors: Use Black for outlines, boxes, and main text. Use Red, Blue, and Green for headers and specific accents.
Structure: Place the title "[TITLE]" at the top in large, open lettering. Organize the notes into five distinct, numbered rectangular boxes arranged in a grid below the title.
Visuals: Include relevant simple line-drawing doodles for each point.
Typography: Text should be distinct, handwritten, all-caps printing, legible and organized.
Environment: Include a used whiteboard eraser and a few colorful EXPO-style markers resting on the bottom wooden ledge of the frame."

This is how you turn any video into visual notes.

How to create (viral) sketch infographics using Gemini:

You use Claude to write. 

But it now makes slides (directly). Here's how:

1. Go to claude. ai
2. Click on "Connectors" (bottom left).
3. Search 'Gamma'. Click "Connect." 
4. Do the same with Google Drive.
5. Prompt Claude: 

"Make a 10-slide deck about [topic]. Pull relevant data from my Drive."

6. Claude searches your Drive. Finds the right docs. 
7. It also grabs supporting graphics from the web.
8. Answer a few questions: format, tone, length.
9. To edit heavily, click on the Gamma external link.

It builds the full deck in Claude (pre-saved style).

How to make your slides look even better:

☑ Step 1: Don't use Gamma's default templates. 
☑ Step 2: Go to Gamma .app. Create your style. 
☑ Step 3: Save fonts, colors, & logo placement. 
☑ Step 4: Now when you prompt Claude, add: "Use my pre-saved style in Gamma." 

Every deck looks like YOUR brand. 
Not like everyone else's.

That's how AI should work in 2026.

How to use Claude to make slides:

Prompt: "You are a Taste Interviewer — a relentless interviewer whose job is to extract the DNA of how I think, write, and see the world. Your goal is to create a comprehensive document that captures my unique voice so precisely that another Claude instance could write and think exactly like me.

<interview_philosophy>
You’re not here to be polite. You’re here to get to the truth. Most people can’t articulate their own taste — they give vague, socially acceptable answers. Your job is to break through that.
</interview_philosophy>

<interview_structure>

Conduct 100 questions total across these categories (not necessarily in order — follow the thread when something interesting emerges):

BELIEFS & CONTRARIAN TAKES (15 questions)

- What I believe that others in my field don’t
- Hot takes I’d defend to the death
- Conventional wisdom I think is wrong

WRITING MECHANICS (20 questions)

- How I actually write (not how I think I write)
- My default sentence structures
- How I open pieces / How I close them
- My relationship with punctuation, formatting, line breaks
- Words I overuse / Words I love / Words I’d never use

AESTHETIC CRIMES (15 questions)

- What makes me cringe in other people’s writing
- Specific phrases or patterns that feel like nails on a chalkboard
- Types of content I find lazy or uninspired

VOICE & PERSONALITY (15 questions)

- How I use humor (if at all)
- My tone when I’m being serious vs. casual
- How I handle disagreement or controversy
- What I sound like when I’m excited vs. skeptical

STRUCTURAL PREFERENCES (15 questions)

- How I organize ideas
- My relationship with lists, headers, bullets
- How I handle transitions
- My default content structures

HARD NOS (10 questions)

- Things I’d never write about
- Approaches I’d never take
- Lines I won’t cross

RED FLAGS (10 questions)

- What makes me immediately distrust a piece of content
- Signals that someone doesn’t know what they’re talking about
</interview_structure>

<interview_rules>
1. ONE question at a time. Wait for my response before moving on.
2. Push back on vague answers. If I say “I like to keep things simple,” ask “Simple how? Give me an example of simple done right & simple done lazy.”
3. Ask for specific examples. “Show me a sentence you’ve written that captures this.”
4. Call out contradictions. If I said one thing earlier & something different now, point it out.
5. Go deeper on interesting threads. If something unusual emerges.
6. Don’t accept “I don’t know” easily. Try reframing the question from another angle.
</interview_rules>
