Level Up: The Inner Game it’s a creative AI storytelling experience that’s based on my personal journey through basketball, forex trading, and self growth. It’s about what happens inside when we’re trying to grow, improve, and level up  not just the wins, but the hard parts too.

Appreciate that question, naaate 🙏

Thanks for the question naaate 🙏

I said The Trade is about discipline because trading taught me how to control myself.
It’s not just about buying and selling it’s about being patient, staying calm, and not letting emotions take over.

Sometimes I lost money because I rushed in or got greedy.
But when I followed my plan and stayed focused, I learned more and I felt more in control.

So the story is about that:
Choosing discipline over quick wins.
Choosing focus over feelings.

That’s the real trade. And I think it connects with life too not just trading.

Also really glad you liked the idea behind The Win yeah, I want it to be about personal clarity, not just trophies or success on the outside.

Can you explain why “the trade” is about discipline?

Also, I like that “the win” is more about personal improvement and not external success.

What I’ve Done So Far

Right now I’ve finished the rough draft of the first piece, which I’m calling Mindset Seed: Resilience. This is not the full story yet it’s more like the “first spark” or the mindset foundation I want the whole storyworld to grow from.

The idea is that every chapter or drop in this project will be a “mindset seed” a small story about an internal shift we go through when trying to grow. Some examples I’m planning are:
	•	The Court – about showing up and building resilience
	•	The Trade – about learning discipline
	•	The Loss – facing ego and failure
	•	The Win – clarity and breakthrough moments

What I’m Exploring Next

I’m planning to create the first full scene soon, which is called “The Court” it’s about those early mornings on the basketball court, missing shots, feeling tired, but still showing up.

I want it to feel cinematic and emotional, with:
	•	A powerful voiceover (I’m testing voice types right now something raw and real vs something calm and wise)
	•	AI generated visuals (already did one draft image that looks 🔥)
	•	Maybe some background music to give it more feeling

Yo this is such a good idea fr 😮‍💨

I never thought of the voice aging with each drop that actually fits perfectly with how I see the journey.
The Court is young raw, still trying to prove something.
But by the time we get to The Win, it’s not about showing off anymore it’s about peace, clarity, and knowing who you are.

Might even show that in the tone too, like the voice starts tense and gets calmer over time.

Appreciate this for real you just gave me a new direction to build on 🔥🙏

What if the voice gets older with each one, so the court is younger, and winning is older reflecting the most important wins in life and sport.

What I’d Love Feedback On

Since I’m still early in the process, I’d really appreciate feedback on a few things:
	1.	Does the concept of “mindset seeds” short scenes showing different parts of personal growth sound interesting to you?

	2.	For the voiceover in “The Court,” would you prefer a voice that’s young and determined (like someone still in the struggle), or a voice that’s older and reflective (like someone looking back at the journey)?

	3.	Should I keep the story style quiet and introspective, or try a more intense and fast-paced approach?

Thanks for reading this is my first time building something like this, and I really want it to feel honest and creative. Appreciate any thoughts, even if it’s just a sentence.

people say i'm unhinged

For question 2, can you not mix it? Like a narrative voice over being the older person,  and the first person speaker being the younger voice

I love seeing threads on Fc it has this nostalgic feeling

I’m excited to see this growing beyond this nice work
