14 Mar 2025Ep 61 - My ChatGPT Advice That Gets The Best Reaction00:15:56

In this solo episode, host Cary Weston shares his top ChatGPT advice—the tips and principles that consistently get the best reactions in his group presentations and one-on-one coaching. These aren't just specific tactics or prompts, but evergreen strategies to help beginners get the most out of ChatGPT. Cary breaks down the mindset shift needed to use ChatGPT effectively and offers practical ways to refine your prompts and interactions for better results.

3 Key Takeaways

  • Just Talk to It – Treat ChatGPT like a conversation, not just a software tool. The more naturally and comfortably you communicate, the better the responses.
  • Treat It Like an Intern – ChatGPT isn’t a mind-reader; it needs direction. The more context and detail you provide, the better the output.
  • Have It Ask You Questions – Instead of assuming you’ve given enough info, tell ChatGPT to ask you clarifying questions. This helps refine responses and improves accuracy.

Final Thought

One of Cary’s favorite ChatGPT prompts? “Tell me more.” It’s a simple way to unlock deeper insights and get richer responses.

Episode Summary

In this episode of The ChatGPT Experiment Podcast, host Cary Weston takes a solo deep dive into a powerful real-life coaching session with a business leader he refers to as “Mark.”

Mark, the president of a company, struggles with spending too much time crafting thoughtful, relationship-preserving emails—a task that can consume half his day.

21 Dec 2023Mini-Episode - Voice To Voice ChatGPT00:03:49

A quick note regarding the voice-to-voice capability of the ChatGPT App on a mobile phone.

 

Voice-to-Text: A Game Changer in ChatGPT Interactions

In my exploration, I found using voice-to-text on my iPad to interact with ChatGPT was a game-changer. Speaking thoughts out loud allows for more detailed, nuanced, and personal interactions. This approach not only saves time but also enhances the quality of the output you receive from ChatGPT.

I started with the microphone button on my iPad keyboard, and quickly learned three other ways to use voice with a ChatGPT:

  • The voice-to-text button on iphone
  • Using voice dictation on my Mac
  • The voice-to-voice feature on the ChatGPT app

Microphone On Ipad and iPhone

If you are a Mac user of either a iPhone or iPad, you have probably seen the microphone on your keyboard and perhaps you haven’t used it all that often. The microphone on the keyboard is a voice dictation tool, which allows you to push the button talk to the phone and have words appear as if you were typing them.

As I use ChatGPT as a problem-solving partner for many things, I found the ability to speak out loud and be thorough and random in my thoughts and information that I provided it much easier and much more valuable when I started using this microphone dictation tool.

You can do this with a computer too!

So it makes sense that your computer keyboard has a voice to transcription too many of us just don’t use it because we type on our computers. However, knowing how powerful voice to text was on my iPad and iPhone, I wanted to have that same level of convenience on my computer. In fact, as I’m writing this, I am talking to my computer rather than typing.

I have found instructions for both a PC and Mac and pasted them below in case you want to set this up and try it yourself.

23 Jan 2025Ep 55 - Projects in ChatGPT00:11:12

Cary wraps up the episode with updates about his workshops, resources for beginners, and a teaser about exploring ChatGPT's task scheduling feature.


3 Key Takeaways

  • Projects as Folders: The new Projects feature in ChatGPT acts as a folder system, allowing users to group conversations for easier organization and retrieval.
  • Name Your Chats: Renaming chats meaningfully after you're done is a small but crucial habit that can save you time when searching for past conversations.
  • Practical Uses for Projects: Projects are especially helpful for client work, ongoing tasks, or any projects involving multiple related conversations.

14 Apr 2025Ep 65 - ChatGPT's Memory - What Does It Really Know About You?00:21:11

Episode Summary:
In this solo episode of The ChatGPT Experiment, host Cary Weston shares a personal and exploratory dive into ChatGPT’s growing memory capabilities. Inspired by a LinkedIn post, Cary experiments with using ChatGPT as an accountability and collaboration partner—an idea that feels especially relevant since becoming a one-person business after two decades of co-running an ad agency. He walks listeners through how he asked ChatGPT what it knows about him, how he corrected and added information, and ultimately, how he's testing its ability to proactively check in with him every Monday using a custom agenda. This episode is packed with real talk about habits, self-reflection, and the emotional side of working solo—all through the lens of AI-assisted growth.


3 Key Takeaways:

  • ChatGPT’s memory can be used to build a personal, proactive accountability partner—Cary demonstrates how feeding it detailed information allows it to better serve ongoing needs.

  • Asking ChatGPT “What do you know about me personally and professionally?” is a great first step to understanding and shaping how the tool perceives you.

  • Even solo professionals can simulate the benefits of a business partner by using AI to fill gaps in collaboration, accountability, and personal growth.

16 Mar 2025Ep 62 - ChatGPT For Personal Advice00:15:19

In this episode, Cary dives into a potentially controversial topic—using ChatGPT for personal advice. Cary emphasizes that ChatGPT should be seen as a tool, not a replacement for professionals, and shares real-world scenarios where it can help with personal counseling, legal understanding, and financial planning.

3 Key Takeaways:

  • ChatGPT as a Thinking Partner: It can help process thoughts, analyze situations, and provide alternative perspectives—but it’s not a substitute for a licensed professional.
  • Understanding Legal and Financial Concepts: While it can't offer legal or financial advice, ChatGPT can break down complex terms and help users prepare for conversations with experts.
  • Using It Responsibly: Be mindful of privacy and avoid sharing sensitive personal or financial data when using ChatGPT for guidance.

26 Mar 2025Ep 63 - Intro To Deep Research & A Customer GPT00:19:57

In this solo episode of The ChatGPT Experiment, host Cary Weston shares personal updates, answers a listener question, and dives into two powerful tools within ChatGPT: Deep Research and a Custom GPT for Ideal Customers. Cary explores how these tools can help users level up their research, marketing, and customer engagement efforts. From understanding industry trends for a presentation to building a virtual focus group, Cary walks through real-world applications in a casual, relatable way.

 

Top 3 Takeaways:

  • Deep Research is a game-changer: The new tool in ChatGPT (available with the paid version) acts like a research assistant, pulling live data and citing sources—perfect for preparing for important meetings, pitches, or presentations.

  • Custom GPT for Ideal Customers: Cary explains how to create a custom GPT that thinks and reacts like your best-fit customer—ideal for marketing, nonprofit outreach, or client-facing communications.

  • Preparation = Power: Whether it’s a sales pitch or a keynote, Cary reminds us that using tools like Deep Research is like practicing for a "$10,000 putt"—you don’t want to just show up unprepared.

04 Dec 2024Ep. 50: Fearless Pricing: How to Get Paid What You’re Worth with Casey Brown00:42:47

Episode Summary

In this episode, Cary sits down with Casey Brown, founder of Boost Pricing, who is on a mission to help businesses get paid the prices they deserve. Speaking from her experience as a pricing consultant and speaker, Casey shares valuable insights on how companies can better understand their value, overcome pricing fears, and avoid common pitfalls like undervaluing “hot sauce” services. She discusses the human side of pricing, emphasizing that understanding your audience, using empathy in sales, and practicing key skills can transform how businesses approach pricing and boost both profits and customer loyalty.

3 Key Takeaways

  • Value-Based Pricing Over Cost-Based Pricing: Casey emphasizes that pricing should be tied to the value a product or service brings to the customer rather than simply covering costs. Too many businesses leave money on the table by only aiming to break even or match their competition.

  • Empathetic Sales Approach: Sales teams need to act as empathetic advisors who truly understand customer needs. This can make a significant difference in both the final sale price and long-term customer loyalty.

  • Role-Playing for Sales Confidence: Practicing sales conversations and objection handling—whether with colleagues or AI tools—helps salespeople build confidence, listen more effectively, and handle high-stakes conversations without getting caught off guard.

About Casey Brown Casey Brown is a pricing expert and the founder of Boost Pricing, where she helps companies maximize the value they provide by empowering them to set prices that reflect their quality. As a speaker and consultant, Casey is passionate about helping businesses understand the impact of fair pricing on their growth, teams, and even local communities. With her new book, Fearless Pricing, she offers guidance on breaking out of pricing fear and commanding the value they deserve. Casey’s work is mission-driven, grounded in her belief that businesses can positively impact families and communities when they’re paid fairly.

12 Mar 2025Ep 60 - How I Use Empathy With ChatGPT00:15:23

In this episode, Cary Weston explores what he calls the "empathetic position" and how it plays a crucial role in writing, problem-solving, and even workplace interactions when using ChatGPT. He shares how taking a step back to consider the audience’s perspective—or the perspective of another person in a situation—can lead to better writing, clearer communication, and more effective decision-making.

Key Takeaways:

  • Writing with Empathy: Instead of just dumping information, use ChatGPT to analyze the audience’s needs, questions, and expectations to make content more valuable.
  • Problem-Solving Through Perspective: ChatGPT can act as a sounding board to help understand another person’s motivations, concerns, or potential responses in a situation.
  • Role-Playing for Real-World Scenarios: Whether dealing with employees, customers, or personal relationships, using ChatGPT to simulate conversations can help prepare for challenges and navigate difficult discussions.

05 Feb 2025Ep 57 - Adding Consequences To ChatGPT's Work00:14:29

In this solo episode, host Cary Weston shares a powerful tip and challenge for improving ChatGPT responses. He explores how adding "real-world consequences" to a prompt can lead to more accurate, thoughtful, and thorough AI-generated content.

By reframing instructions and emphasizing the potential consequences of incomplete work, Cary found that ChatGPT provided more detailed and higher-quality responses. He challenges listeners to try this technique and share their results.

Key Takeaways

  • Set Clear Stakes for Better AI Responses – When using ChatGPT, explaining why accuracy matters—especially by adding real-world consequences—can lead to more precise and complete responses.
  • The “Busy Middle” is Where AI Saves Time – Breaking work into three phases—ideation, the busy middle, and polishing—helps maximize AI’s strengths. Using transcripts and structured input lets ChatGPT handle the “busy middle” and make content creation more efficient.
  • Framing AI as an Intern Helps – Treating ChatGPT like an intern, providing clear instructions, background, and expectations, ensures better results. Without proper guidance, the output may be incomplete or generic.

Now, he’s focused on "Tequity," which aims to create intergenerational wealth for women and minority-owned businesses through equity-based shares in technology.

Starting with tech from day one is key, says William. Even beginners can boost their productivity and creativity with ChatGPT. He offers tips on training ChatGPT to be even more helpful, making it user-friendly for everyone.
