Spencer Potesta

Psychotherapist, Company Builder, Author | Founder of Potesta Holdings Corporation & Social Capital Foundation

My background is in clinical and organizational psychology, dedicating time to psychotherapy for patients with severe anxiety and trauma disorders, while building and partnering with organizations in organizational psychology. The tools I use in therapy mirror those that help executives and organizations excel.

In psychotherapy, I run a private practice as a double-board certified psychotherapist in Illinois, offering specialized, evidence-based care for severe anxiety (like OCD) and trauma disorders (including dissociation). I dedicate a select few days per week to this transformative, client-centered work.

As CEO of Midsommer.org, I address clinical pain points—like limited access, high costs, and fragmentation—leading a pioneering mental health organization. We build a clinician-led holistic care model, revolutionizing psychotherapy with self-managing teams, comprehensive services, and ethical, insurance-based practices for affordability across states and specialties. We empower ethical clinicians to own teams as directors and co-owners (typically 10-12 grouped by region/specialty), creating sustainable foundations, better business outcomes, higher clinician satisfaction through collaboration, and dedicated client care. Achieved via aligned incentives and lock-step partnerships—not franchising—this forms a constellation of high-powered, human-centered teams. This bridges my passions of organizational psychology & psychotherapy, empowering resilience and impact for clinicians and clients.

In organizational psychology, I operate Social Capital Holdings, consulting Fortune 500/1000 firms on efficiency and performance. Now, I focus on engaged partnerships in businesses like Midsommer and others, strengthening systems, leadership, and operations.

While devoting time to psychotherapy a few days weekly and advancing ventures, my deepest passion is Social Capital Foundation. As President of this 501(c)(3) healthcare endowment, I tackle generational health needs, leveraging my success to innovate solutions benefiting practitioners and clients. We streamline operations to keep 100% of donations intact, supporting healthcare individuals and organizations.

Proud of you Carly and very excited for the journey!

I’m excited to share a meaningful milestone in my work. ✨

After two and a half years of running my solo private practice, I’m expanding into a group practice (name still in processing) dedicated to delivering high-quality, evidence-based care for OCD & anxiety across the Capital Region and greater Upstate New York.

I’m profoundly grateful for the opportunity to support this community — to offer resources, education, and specialized treatment in an area that has long been under-resourced for OCD and anxiety care. 🌿 

This next chapter is about deepening that mission: expanding access, building a strong clinical community, and bringing even more hope and expertise to those who need it most.

And with that, we’re hiring! 
 If you’re passionate about evidence-based treatment, collaborative clinical culture, and helping individuals reclaim their lives from OCD and anxiety, I’d love to connect. 

All key details are in the graphic, please reach out with any questions or interest!

I’m done treating month-end like a boss level
I want cheat codes

Generic AI is a sidekick
Sage is the squad

It lives in the work
Bills. Expenses. Timesheets. Variances.
All seen. All explained. In flow.

End-loaded chaos → continuous calm
Spreadsheet spelunking → guided answers
“Hope the numbers tie” → “Of course they do”

If you’re serious about a faster, cleaner close
Start where finance actually lives
Start with Sage

Everyone’s talking about Sora and Veo right now.

Cinematic video from a text prompt.
Production-level visuals without a camera.
Entire scenes created in seconds.

But here’s the part most people are missing:

If you don’t understand how to use ChatGPT’s modes…
you can’t fully use Sora or Veo either.

Because the real workflow isn’t “type prompt → get video.”
It’s:

research
planning
storyboarding
image analysis
scriptwriting
asset creation
revision
automation
distribution
and memory-based iteration.

And ChatGPT 5.1 quietly became the operating system for all of that.

Search for real-time data.
Deep Research for backstory and worldbuilding.
Vision for shot analysis and reference breakdowns.
Camera Mode for real-world capture and guidance.
Canvas for collaborative story refinement.
File Uploads for script drafts, brand decks, or shot lists.
Code Interpreter for data, timelines, and asset organization.
Custom Instructions + Memory for consistent style across projects.

Most people only use 10% of the power sitting in front of them.

So I built this beginner’s guide to show you exactly what each mode does
and when to use it.

If you’re experimenting with Sora or Veo…
this is the foundation you build on.

If you’re a marketer or creator trying to integrate AI into your workflow…
this is how you scale beyond “neat demo” territory.

Save this.
Share it with your team.
Optimize how you work before you try to optimize what you create.

AI video is exploding —
but the people who understand the toolchain will win.

Follow for more practical breakdowns like this.

P.S. Who else watched South Park this week? If you haven’t yet, the whole episode is about Sora and AI video, check it out!

The Golden Rules Of Video AI Prompting

Your ads are leaking money
because your AI humans still look like mannequins.

Plastic skin.
Dead eyes.
That weird “AI sheen” that screams fake from the feed.

That is the fastest way to tank trust, CPM, and conversion.

Flora just quietly killed that problem.

They plugged in Enhancor, an AI skin texture enhancer that takes synthetic faces and pushes them into photoreal human territory.
Pores. Micro texture. Natural variation.
Without warping the face underneath.

If you are a marketer, here is why that matters more than yet another “cool AI filter”:

Your models stop looking like robots
Enhancor is trained specifically on skin. It fixes that over smooth, plastic AI look and adds realistic skin details so people stop subconsciously bouncing from your creative.

You keep facial structure and brand consistency
No more “who is this, actually” moments. It preserves bone structure and features while enhancing texture, so your AI talent stays on model across campaigns.

You win back hours of retouching
What used to take manual skin work in Photoshop or an external pipeline now runs inside your Flora workflows, where you already do character swaps, garment try ons, and commercial shoots.

You finally scale “good enough for TV” visuals
Flora is already an infinite, multi modal canvas for teams building image, video, and text like Lego blocks. Enhancor turns that into “ship this to paid” quality instead of “only good for moodboards.”

Here is the uncomfortable truth:

In 2025, your competition is not “using AI.”
Your competition is using AI that does not look like AI.

If your ads still have

Wax skin

Smoothed out plastic influencers

Faces that break at 4K

you are training your audience to distrust your brand assets.

With Enhancor living inside Flora, a single marketer can

Spin up AI talent

Run it through Enhancor for realistic skin

Drop into Flora flows for product swaps, new backgrounds, and campaign variants

Ship a full set of ad ready creatives in the time it used to take to brief a designer

No new app juggling.
No extra export import pain.
Just higher quality humans in the same canvas you already live in.

If your AI creatives still look like midjourney moodboards instead of money making ads, that is no longer a tech problem.

That’s because of your poor choices.
