I published my first article on @Medium last night/this morning (depending on perspective🙃).

Shared 5 Things Helping Me to be a Better Human:

1) Knowledge changes because our understanding of anything is finite.

Mexican Independence Day is September 16, with the grito September 15th. 🇲🇽💃🏻

¡Que viva México cabrones!

[Michelle Young @michelleinflow]

I guess this is a good time to start reminding people that Cinco de Mayo has nothing to do with Mexican Independence, and that most parts of México don’t celebrate it.

In México, it’s celebrated in 2 places:
-tourist spots
-Puebla because of “La Battalla de Puebla”

[Michelle Young @michelleinflow]

And the large brands also get more out of it because the experience is being advertised on both a hyper-local and also global platform.

Everyone gets more out of the campaign, projects are sustainable, and real world connections turn into real world magic. ✨🤍

[Michelle Young @michelleinflow]

Dear event producers and community organizers:
This is our time!! ✨

In person, real world connections and experiences are where it’s at.

And the future isn’t just big brands paying for things.

It’s offering collective packets as opportunities for smaller & local businesses.

[Michelle Young @michelleinflow]

The event/festival/conference organizer gets more support for the project (which means more support for artists, creatives, public speakers, facilitators, local businesses, etc.).

The local/smaller businesses get to enjoy promo that was previously out of reach.

[Michelle Young @michelleinflow]

The markets we have events (festivals, conferences, etc.) planned for 2026-2027 include:
Austin, TX
Los Angeles, CA
CDMX (Mexico City), México
Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco
Guadalajara, Jalisco
Lisbon, Portugal
New York, NY
Miami, FL
San Francisco, CA
Chicago, IL
London
Berlin

I’ve been producing events, festivals, conferences & activations for 18 years.

Now, we’re launching a global collective that includes amazing, proven events in vertical around culture (arts, tech, F&B) + health & wellness. that are perfectly primed to work with more sponsors.

[Andrew Yeung @andruyeung]

Anthropic is paying up to $400,000 a year for an events role.

They're looking for someone to own the execution of brand experiences that translate Anthropic's values into physical moments.

This person will produce everything from intimate thought-leadership gatherings to large-scale industry activations.

The top AI research lab in the world recognizes that to cross the chasm and reach everyday consumers, they need to lean into hospitality. They need to create visceral, unforgettable IRL experiences that make complex technology feel accessible and human.

They understand that digital channels are getting increasingly saturated. Every feed is flooded with AI content... every inbox is overflowing.

The massive opportunity now is offline, analog, in-person.

The companies that win in the next decade won't just have the best product but the most emotional in-person presence and the most compelling storytelling.

If you're in events, experiential marketing, or brand activations, this is your moment. The biggest tech companies in the world are betting on you.

ANTHROPIC JUST PROVED MOST PEOPLE HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO PROMPT CLAUDE.

Their applied AI team dropped a 24 minute free workshop.

Not a creator who reverse engineered it.

Not a Reddit thread.

ANTHROPIC.

The people who wrote the weights.

And what they showed is uncomfortable.

There are 6 elements to a properly structured Claude prompt.

Most people are using 1.

Maybe 2.

That is not a skill issue.

That is an information issue.

And it has been quietly costing you every single day.

The outputs that felt slightly off.

The responses you had to rewrite 4 times.

The prompts that worked once and never again.

All of it traces back to the same 6 missing elements.

The people who watch this 24 minute workshop tonight will understand something about Claude that most daily users still do not know exists.

The people who skip it will keep getting 30% of what the tool is actually capable of and wonder why the results never quite land.

I watched it twice.

Then I built a Claude Skill that applies all 6 elements to every prompt automatically.

No more thinking about structure.

No more guessing what Claude needs.

The framework runs in the background every single time.

Full breakdown and skill setup is below.

Bookmark this now.

Watch the workshop first.

Then read the guide.

This is the one that compounds.

Follow @cyrilXBT for the exact prompt architecture, Claude skills, and systems I use to get outputs most people do not believe came from one person working alone.

Jaja I’m down to play the LinkedIn game, what are the “rules”?

Any tips?

[Michelle Young @michelleinflow]

I’m recently starting to get into LinkedIn.

If we have friends/colleagues who may be a good fit for working together in the luxury auto space because of their project at COTA and plans around F1, do we say “friends” or “colleagues” or “collaborators” or what?

[Utkarsh Sharma @techxutkarsh]

Claude just dropped 13 FREE AI courses (with certificates).

If you go through even HALF of these…

You’ll be ahead of 95% of people using AI.

Most people won’t.

Because they’re still:

• Watching random YouTube videos
• Buying overpriced courses
• “Learning AI” without actually building

Don’t be that person.

Do this instead:

1. Save this post (you’ll come back to it)
2. Pick 1 course → start today
3. Share it with someone who needs this

Free. Practical. No excuses.

Mentally healthy people are often delusionally optimistic.

Mark Cuban just described the largest wealth transfer of the AI era.

Almost nobody understood what he said.

Cuban: “There are 33 million companies in this country. Aren’t going to have AI budgets. Aren’t going to have AI experts.”

Not tech startups.

The shoe store. The regional trucking outfit. The accounting firm with 12 employees.

The businesses that actually run the physical economy.

They know AI is coming. They have no idea what to do with it.

Cuban: “You’ve got the head of Microsoft saying software is dead because everything’s going to be customized to your unique utilization.”

Software is dead.

The SaaS era ran on one rule. Build a generic product. Force millions of companies to bend their workflows around it. Charge rent forever.

AI ends the contract.

The business stops bending to the software. The intelligence bends to the business.

But customized by whom.

The third-generation manufacturer cannot tell Claude from Gemini. The county hospital is staring at a reactor asking where the light switch is.

Cuban: “Who’s going to do it for them?”

That question is worth more than the frontier models themselves.

Hundreds of billions are being burned to build the foundation. The smartest engineers alive are locked in a bloodbath over who owns the base layer.

Let them fight.

Let them burn the capital. Let them drive the cost of raw intelligence toward zero.

Because the wealth does not collect where the brain is built.

It collects where the brain meets the business.

Every ambitious kid in college right now thinks survival means a seat at OpenAI or Anthropic.

Cuban is staring at the other 99 percent of the economy.

Learn the models. Then learn the messy, unglamorous reality of how a 50-person company actually operates.

Walk through the door. Understand their problems. Wire the intelligence directly into their revenue.

That is not a job title. That is an entire economic class being born.

You do not need to build the brain. You need to build the nervous system.

The biggest winners of the electricity era were not the engineers who built the generators. They were the ones who walked into dark factories and showed the owners where to plug in.

33 million companies are standing in the dark right now.

Silicon Valley is racing to build the god. The fortunes will belong to whoever teaches him a trade.

The IRL connection economy is a $400B+ market.

And companies are racing to own it.

In the last 6 months, $800M+ in capital was deployed on "IRL" bets.

@Tinder invested $60M into a new Events feature for connecting matches in-person. They're pivoting to IRL and offering experiences such as speakeasies, raves, and pottery classes.

@222place: raised a $10.1M Series A to curate blind social experiences for Gen Z. Personality-matched groups sent to hyperlocal nightlife events.

@JagermeisterUSA launched BestNightsVC - the only venture fund in the world dedicated solely to nightlife and IRL connection. 16 portfolio companies across 4 continents.

@timeleft: dinner with 5 strangers, every Wednesday. €18M ARR. 6,500 dinners/week across 200+ cities.

Dion: members-only social app where the first move is buying someone a real drink, redeemed IRL. 10K members, 30K+ on the waitlist founded by @revekkapal.

Pie: Bonobos founder @dunn built an IRL friendship app. $24M raised. 130K+ MAU.

@weroad_official: group trips for 20-30 year olds who don't know each other beforehand. $150M valuation.

Matchbox: is an algorithm-powered matching platform for IRL events and has powered over 100,000 connections. founded by @liamjmcgregor (prev @MarriagePact)

New dating apps like Known @Celesteamadon, Cerca @MylesCerca, and Ditto @AllenWangzian are aiming to improve connection amongst young people.

Billion-dollar companies are paying $$$ for community and events leads:
- @AnthropicAI: Marketing Events Manager ($255k)
- @tryramp: Community Manager ($223k)
- @tryramp: Events & Culture Manager ($181k)
- @duolingo: Senior Community Manager ($193k)
- @NotionHQ: Community Programs Lead

Everyone knows the more time we spend online, the more valuable real-life connection becomes.

The question isn't whether IRL wins.

It's who facilitates it best.

If your church or spiritual group is moving with the Holy Spirit and you don’t have anyone with experience in excorcisms/deliverance ministry, be aware that there is a wave of false light that has deceived many in a variety of churches and also spiritual groups.

[Michelle Young @michelleinflow]

I stepped down from full time ministry in 2014 to pursue building the collective decentralized ecosystem for creatives and wellness entrepreneurs that I’ve been working on, and to study other traditions and ancient wisdoms.
