Dear Friend, Subscriber, and Category Pirate,
What happens when 3 large language models and 2 grumpy pirates walk into a bar?
They donât order rum.
They donât argue about whoâs paying.
They ask the question that unlocks exponential outcomes: âWhat is my superpower?â
Not âwhat am I good at?â
Not âwhat do I enjoy doing?â
Not even âwhatâs my passion?â
Because your Superpower isnât about you at all.
Itâs not the thing you like most. Itâs not the bullet point on your rĂŠsumĂŠ you brag about. And it sure as hell isnât the generic âstrengthsâ some HR donkey circled on a personality test.
Your superpower is external. Itâs the exponential outcome you deliver for othersâthe thing you can do reliably, repeatably, and at a level others canât.
Itâs the problem only you see clearly.
Itâs the radical outcomes youâve delivered that made others stop and say, âNo one else couldâve done this.â
Itâs the reason people seek you outâthe question they canât stop asking you, the advice they always want from you.
Thatâs the difference between being good and being legendary.
When you uncover and name your superpower, youâre not just self-aware. Youâre building the raw material for your Category of One.
Because every legendary categoryâwhether itâs Apple, Airbnb, or Amazonâwas born from someoneâs ability to take a personal superpower and design exponential value around it.
99% of people will go their whole lives never naming their real superpower.
They used the wrong lens, the wrong questions, and the wrong tools.
They confuse âskillsâ with âsuperpowers.â They confuse âwhat I likeâ with âwhat I do that changes others.â And thatâs why they stay in The Better Trap, competing for scraps.
And if youâre wondering, âOkay, but how do I know what my superpower is?â. Itâs the question we get asked more than any other.
This isnât information you can get from a generic AI prompt.
When you ask ChatGPT âWhatâs my superpower?â, it will spit out bland lists.
Youâre a problem-solver.
Youâre creative.
Youâre resilient.
Nice. But not legendary.
So, now, we have two AI agents to help.
Ask the Pirate Eddie Bot, included in our Founding Membership, and it pushes you past the obvious.
It interrogates your outcomes, your swagger, the problems youâre obsessed withâand forces you to sharpen the one thing that makes you different.
Work with Libby, our Category Design Academy AI, and she wonât let you off the hook until you surface the exponential outcome that makes you irreplaceable.
Generic AI is a parrot. Pirate Eddie Bot and Libby are co-conspirators.
One repeats what everyone already knows. The other helps you uncover what only you can do.
What we tested in this experimentâand what youâll see in the videoâis that when trained properly, AI can actually help pressure-test your answers, surface the hidden tells, and push you toward the external, exponential truth.
Uncovering your superpower is only half the battle.
The other half? Knowing when itâs sharp enough to press publish.
Because a superpower that only lives in your head doesnât change anything. It has to be pressure-tested, refined, and delivered in a way that others can feel, repeat, and rally around.
And thatâs especially critical right nowâbecause AI is flooding the world with generic, obvious answers.
Everyone is shipping the same thing, at the same time, without stopping to reject the premise.
Most people donât fail from lack of ideas. They fail because they launch half-baked onesâPOVs, products, and strategies that never do their superpower justice.
Thatâs why Christopher has a brutal, repeatable system for this. Before he publishes anything, he runs it through the same handful of questions.
5 Questions to Pressure-Test Your Superpower Before You Launch Anything
AI makes it dangerously easy to push out something that looks polished but is actually generic.
If you settle for âgood enough,â your superpower never makes the leap from internal idea to external impact. The goal isnât polished. The goal is legendary.
