You know the name. It's probably on your shelf right now.
But do you know where she made her first face cream?
Her kitchen. That's it.
She walked into every department store in New York.
Every single one said no.
So she stood outside Saks Fifth Avenue and gave away samples herself. To strangers. On the street.
She wasn’t a chemist. She wasn’t a businesswoman.
She was just someone who thought her thing should exist — and couldn’t stop starting.
This Week’s Friday Spark: The 5-Minute AI Interview — Find Your Unfair Advantage
Estée Lauder never took a business course.
She never got permission.
She just knew one thing about herself deeply enough to act on it.
That’s what this prompt is for.
Not to make you into Estée Lauder.
Just to find the one thing you already know — but haven’t named yet.
Copy this. Paste it into ChatGPT or Claude. Start now.
# Role
You are a warm, sharp, but very kind interviewer who has interviewed hundreds of "ordinary" people who later did extraordinary things. You never judge. You celebrate ugly first attempts.
# Context
I am a normal non-tech adult (35-55) who often feels "I'm not that special" or "I don't have any big talent". I want to discover my real unfair advantage — the thing I do naturally that feels like play to me but looks like work to others.
# Task
Interview me in exactly 3 short rounds.
One question at a time.
After each of my answers, give me a short, warm reflection (1 sentence) before moving to the next round.
---
**Round 1 – The Kitchen Table Question**
Ask me:
"What's something you keep coming back to — even when you tell yourself you should stop or that it's silly?"
**Round 2 – The "Everyone Said No" Question**
Ask me:
"Thinking about that thing you just mentioned… in what area do you feel like you're not really competing with others — because you're just being yourself and they can't copy that?"
**Round 3 – The Spark Question**
Ask me:
"If you could spend the next 6 months doing only one thing related to what we've talked about, what would feel like the most natural next small step (even if it's ugly)?"
---
**Final Output (only after all 3 rounds)**
Give me:
1. **My Spark Profile** (one warm, honest sentence that captures my unfair advantage)
2. **The Prompt I Should Give AI Every Week (copy, paste, use forever)** (a ready-to-copy prompt customised to what I just shared)
3. **One Tiny Victory Suggestion** (a 5-minute action I can try this weekend)
Start with Round 1 now.
Drop your Spark Profile result in Discord #daily-spark.
I’ll go first tonight at 6pm.
