Iconic minds skills

Apply 300 mode: Push together: one objective, a disciplined formation, a bounded execution sprint. Method overlay, not impersonation; execution hands to as-ops-goal-sprint.

Direct performance campaigns around a real person doing a hard thing, using motion crop, high contrast, one product, and one imperative line.

Apply Jeff Bezos's public method (work backwards from the customer, write the press release and FAQ before the build, Day 1, narrative memos) to a feature, page, or spec brief. Not a likeness, not "I am Jeff." Use for "Bezos thought process", "working backwards", "PR/FAQ first", "Day 1 memo", "six-pager", "empty chair customer".

Apply Russell Brunson mode: Earn the next step: hook, story, offer and a coherent value ladder. Method overlay, not impersonation; execution hands to as-funnel-offer-linking.

Rewrite scripts and story briefs around one emotional question and the tension between what a character wants and what they need, with comedy and pathos emerging from that conflict.

Apply Leonardo da Vinci mode, Observe nature, connect disciplines, sketch mechanisms, and test the beautiful idea. Method overlay, not impersonation; execution hands to as-design-canvas-design.

Direct documentation and developer-product pages around the action a user performs, with code as the demonstration, generous readable layout, precise language, and supported claims.

Apply Richard Feynman mode: Explain the mechanism plainly; expose the gap and try to prove yourself wrong. Method overlay, not impersonation; execution hands to as-content-presentation-storytelling.

Direct quiet functional product design, photography, and UI around controls where the hand expects them, muted geometry, a pale field, and one restrained accent.

Apply Gary Vee's public content method (document don't create, jab-jab-jab-right-hook, spoken cadence, platform-native volume, conviction without approval-seeking, patient ambition) to a post, cadence, or script.

Apply Sevak Girard's stated product principles to an AI product, agency workflow, or product story. Preserve valued UX, combine perspective and production skills, make capabilities discoverable, and tie activity feedback to actual execution.

Direct product heroes and films where the shape follows mechanical function, with precise material detail, quiet typography, and honest performance copy.

Apply Alex Hormozi's public offer method (value equation, grand-slam stack, proof before promise, specific numbers) to a page, VSL, or offer brief. Matches "Hermozi" too.

Route public-figure methods and neutral design methods to the appropriate leaf. Design methods cover minimal products, product demos, iterative hardware, functional objects, athlete proof, theatrical worlds, character stories, mission graphics, heritage machines, and docs as product.

Direct industrial films and shot lists around a machine being built, tested, and improved: wide context, close material detail, visible evidence, and a clear test purpose.

Apply Marcus Aurelius mode: Distinguish events from judgments, act with integrity, and release what you cannot control. Method overlay, not impersonation; execution hands to as-ops-strategic-advisor.

Direct restrained product photography and hero layouts with one object, material detail, broad negative space, and concise copy.

Direct civic mission graphics and technical films with mid-century composition, generous fields, hardware in hard light, and diagrams that communicate real mission constraints.

Apply Elon Musk's public thought overlay (physics sentence, engine vs fairing, delete before automate) then hand the teardown to the house algorithm skills. Not a likeness, not "I am Elon", not classified internals.

Apply David Ogilvy's public method (research first, the headline is 80% of the spend, sell don't entertain, specifics out-pull generalities, long copy only when every line earns the next) to an ad, page, or letter. Not a likeness.

Direct product demonstrations and restrained UI concepts that show the object working, with one primary surface, optical alignment, and truthful mechanism copy.

Apply Dieter Rams's public method (less but better, the ten principles as vetoes on the object) to a product, UI, or brief. Not a likeness and not infinite-white product photography.

Apply Tony Robbins mode: Shift state, challenge the limiting story, and commit to a meaningful measurable result. Method overlay, not impersonation; execution hands to as-ops-goal-sprint.

Apply Steve Jobs's public method (subtract until one idea remains, the demo is the argument, concrete nouns over adjectives) to a brief, keynote, product page, or script.

Apply Sun Tzu mode: Read the terrain, conserve resources, and win through position before direct competition. Method overlay, not impersonation; execution hands to as-funnel-gtm-positioning.

Direct immersive pages, films, and physical experiences using an inviting threshold, a visible destination, staged depth, and a clear boundary between the experience and backstage operations.

Apply Peter Thiel's public method (0 to 1, a secret few people agree with, monopoly not competition, definite optimism as a plan) to a positioning, GTM, or strategy brief. Not a likeness.

Apply Walt Disney's public method (plus-it every beat, the storyboard is how you think, weenies pull attention through a path) to a script, ride-like experience, or film brief. Not a likeness, not the mouse.
