Ep 62 - ChatGPT For Personal Advice16 Mar 202500:15:19

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.

Ep 60 - How I Use Empathy With ChatGPT12 Mar 202500:15:23

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.

Ep 57 - Adding Consequences To ChatGPT's Work05 Feb 202500:14:29

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.

In this solo episode, host Cary Weston dives into the process of using ChatGPT as a supportive tool for writing business books.

Ep 81 - ChatGPT: Can You Trust It?12 Aug 202500:26:47

Episode Summary 
Cary tackles one of the most common questions he hears in workshops: "Can I trust ChatGPT—or AI in general?" He explains that trust in AI depends on what you're trusting it for, and that the real key is working with AI rather than expecting it to work for you. Using stories, research, and examples, Cary lays out why transparency, verification, and human oversight are essential for responsible AI use. He also shares listener stories of people building AI curriculums for both college students and retirees, showing how curiosity can spread and inspire.

3 Key Takeaways:

  • Trust starts with clarity: Always ask, "Trust it to do what?"—the answer changes how you use and verify AI's output.

  • Work with, not for you: Treat AI like an eager, capable intern—give it clear instructions, check its work, and add your human insight before using the results.

  • Verification isn't optional: No matter how smart AI gets, "trust but verify" ensures accuracy, especially in high-stakes or sensitive situations.

Ep 54 - ChatGPT Isn't Your Replacement—It's Your Accelerator14 Jan 202500:10:24

He emphasizes that ChatGPT is a tool to expedite busy work, allowing writers to focus on their unique skills and creativity.

Ep. 50: Fearless Pricing: How to Get Paid What You're Worth with Casey Brown04 Dec 202400:42:47

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.

Ep 79 - Getting Your Team to Use ChatGPT: Real Lessons from Bill Gross of the Nuclear Energy Institute29 Jul 202500:26:41

n this episode, Cary talks with Bill Gross, CIO of the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI). Bill shares the story of how his CEO tasked him with preparing their 100+ person organization for an AI-powered future. With a background in computer science but little hands-on AI experience, Bill dove headfirst into learning—and then teaching—ChatGPT use cases across NEI. They dig into OpenAI's "Projects" feature, how NEI structures AI training, and the cultural shifts that come with rolling out a new technology at scale.

🔑 Key Takeaways:
  • Projects in ChatGPT are game-changing: Bill highlights how uploading shared context files to a Project makes it easy to run multiple threads with consistent knowledge, offering more dynamic support than Custom GPTs alone.

  • Champion programs work—but need structure: NEI's internal "JEDAI" champions (cute, right?) helped spread AI adoption, but Bill notes the importance of setting clear expectations and ensuring they get leadership support and time to follow through.

  • Start at the top: Bill prioritized executive buy-in, doing hands-on ChatGPT sessions with leadership early on, which paid off by fostering a culture of experimentation and support from the highest levels.
