Hey rebel ideapreneurs 🦸♂️🦸♀️
Pooja films a weekly YouTube video of her kids learning a new creative skill.
She began filming to get her own kids off screens.
She's sure creativity isn't a born talent — it grows from small daily projects.
Her viewers want the same — time with their kids that feels real.
⛳️ Problem:
Pooja has three skills she loves and feels guilty about all three.
Every coach tells her to pick one lane — design, art, or photography.
She tries a teaching-only channel for a month, then a photo-only one, then quits both.
Six months in, she has no audience and three half-built channel pages.
Her problem: how to combine her three skills into one channel worth following.
🔥 The recipe
➡️ Talent stacking
Scott Adams is the cartoonist behind Dilbert.
At its peak, Dilbert ran in 2,000 newspapers across 65 countries.
He argues most people fail at "pick one thing."
They aren't the best writer or the best artist.
But a rare combination of three ordinary skills beats one elite skill.
That stack becomes a category of one — and nobody can copy it.
Adams was never the best artist or the best writer.
His drawing was simple and his writing was plain.
But he stacked several decent skills almost nobody combines.
He could draw, write, be funny, and understand how offices work.
That last skill came from years stuck in a cubicle himself.
It's why Dilbert nailed the clueless bosses and pointless meetings.
That rare combination — not one great talent — built Dilbert.
🚗 The steps
📝 Step 1 — List every skill you've already built.
Write down everything you're decent at, even the weird ones.
Pooja lists three.
Six years as a UX designer, making apps easy for anyone to follow.
Years teaching after-school art to kids.
Weekends shooting family photo sessions.
🔍 Step 2 — Find the intersection only you can fill.
Look for one audience all three skills could serve together.
Pooja spots it on a Sunday afternoon.
Parents who want creative time with their kids are stuck.
They need lesson plans, kid-friendly prompts, and beautiful footage that inspires them.
Pooja can do all three — design a clear lesson, teach the art, shoot it beautifully.
🎯 Step 3 — Ship one piece that uses all three.
Pick one weekly artifact your stack produces better than anyone.
Pooja launches a YouTube channel called Saturday Studio Kids.
Each video carries one art lesson taught to her two kids.
One creative prompt the kids try on camera.
Footage shot with her photographer's eye for light and detail.
Her first video gets sixty views.
Three parents comment asking for the lesson plan.
Three skills aimed in one direction. A combo no single-skill rival can match.
The prompt below will find the rare intersection in your stack using all three steps.
You just tell it the messy list of everything you're kinda good at.
🧸 Three ordinary skills + one shared viewer = a category of one.
🏄♀️ The prompt
Save this prompt as a Skill or add to Project in your favorite AI tool — build once, use often.
Update your input values in the prompt or just run as is, your AI sidekick will use the example values and will give output.
CONTEXT:
- (use what's available, fall back to the inline values)
- If my Voice Profile exists, write in that voice. Otherwise, write in a clear, warm, no-jargon voice — first-person, plain words, no startup-speak.
- If my ICP / Audience doc exists, target that reader. Otherwise, use the audience below.
Inputs:
My skill list (everything I'm decent at — paid skills, unpaid hobbies, weird obsessions, jobs I've had, things friends ask me for help with):
{e.g. UX design, after-school art teaching, weekend family photography, kid-friendly creative prompts, organizing kids' birthday games}
My lived experience clues (3-5 short phrases about what you've actually done, taught, or fixed for someone):
{e.g. six years designing apps, taught 200+ kids in art class, shot 30+ family sessions, mom of two kids aged 6 and 9}
For Audience: {e.g. parents who want creative time with their kids that feels real, not another expensive after-school class}
For Outcome: {e.g. a one-page stack pitch I can paste on my channel About page that explains why my weird combo is the right fit for this audience}
Outputs:
1. My top 3 stackable skills — the three from my list that overlap on one audience.
2. The intersection — one sentence naming the audience and the exact problem only my stack can solve.
3. My weekly artifact — one specific thing I can ship every week that uses all three skills together (e.g. a YouTube video, a newsletter issue, a workshop).
4. My stack pitch — a 3-4 sentence About-page paragraph that names the three skills and the audience without sounding like a resume.
5. The skill I should DROP from my pitch — the one I keep wanting to add because it sounds impressive, even though it doesn't serve this audience.
Then write the first issue of the weekly artifact using all three skills.
One stack only you could ever build.
One audience that needs all three skills at once.
One weekly artifact that quietly proves it.
That's it, my fellow mavericks!
