(2025-11-26) Category Pirates10 Ai Prompts To Create A Powerful And Compelling Pov

CategoryPirates: 10 AI prompts to create a powerful and compelling POV. Most founders, creators, and entrepreneurs think they have a Point of View (POV).

But what they actually have is:

  • A tagline
  • A slogan
  • A vibe

A category POV isn’t decoration, branding, or poetic word choice.
It’s the set of beliefs that bends the world in your direction. It’s the story that makes demand chase you, instead of you chasing demand. It’s the lens through which people understand what the hell your “new and different thing” even is and why they should care.

This is why Category Designers obsess over POV.
Because POV is how you reject the premise, quit the old game, and create a new one.

(If you haven’t read this mini-book yet, check it out before diving in.)

What Is A POV?

A POV is a belief system that includes:

  • The Non-Obvious problem you’re naming
  • The enemy causing the damage
  • The new future you’re evangelizing
  • The path that gets people there
  • The Languaging that makes all of the above sticky, repeatable, and spreadable

A POV is how you name the Existing Market Trap, reframe the game, redefine success, and give your Superconsumers a narrative they can repeat.

Most importantly, a POV makes the old world look obsolete.

Markham Rollins: Retirement Transformed

Markham and Jody Rollins have a clear mission: Help retirees design their second act.

But their earliest POV drafts lived in the head, not the gut:
“Retirement Drift is a collapse of rhythm, community, and purpose.”

Here’s where he landed:
“Retirement Drift isn’t a quirk. It’s theft. Rhythm collapses, friends thin out, and purpose leaks away until whole years blur into a beige fog. You wake up and think, ‘I’m not needed anymore.’ Days melt together. You feel guilty you’re not happier.”

Markham realized Retirement Drift isn’t passive. It’s decay engineered by a set of cultural lies:

  • “Work was the problem.”
  • “More free time will fix you.”
  • “Slowing down equals healing.”

Those lies became the enemy that hits us with unavoidable stakes:
“Ignore it, and the slide accelerates. Bodies fray. Marriages hollow out. Curiosity calcifies. The person you promised you’d become after work never shows up.”

1. Expose The Non-Obvious Problem

*The category = the system.

The identity = the shift the system produces.*

He jammed with us in the Academy, and he jammed alone with AI by feeding it drafts, asking tough questions, and forcing it to sharpen the category Languaging.

He stopped forecasting a “better retirement.”
He started backcasting a different identity FROM “Retired” TO “Rediscovered Contributor.”
