Under the Hood: Volume 1

It’s incredibly satisfying to have the first Neural Gains Weekly newsletter completed and released! In the spirit of transparency, I found it challenging to finalize the content and refine the exact tone of the delivered materials. I suppose this is ‘par for the course’ for a novice content creator, but I learned a lot about prompts along the way. It took me several iterations to build the right partnership with ChatGPT 5 Thinking and get into a creative groove. Here are a few of the final prompts that led to the content delivered in Volume 1, enjoy!
