    When I started writing my book, I did what many of us do: I tried to think my way into clarity. I had sticky notes everywhere, ideas swirling in my head, and way too many Google Docs open. But nothing clicked. I felt stuck figuring out the reader statement, premise, core message, and transformation. Feeling scatterbrained, I was a little frustrated.So, I decided to ask ChatGPT to conduct an interview with me. I provided context and told it to ask me questions without giving me any answers. What followed were deep insights. I remembered things I hadn't thought about in years. It was more than clarity; I remembered who I was and what I stood for.Most people use ChatGPT for quick answers or to generate content. However, there's another, more powerful way to use it, one that taps into the heart of your brand and uncovers the stories, beliefs, and brilliance already within you. In this episode, you'll learn how to turn ChatGPT into your thought partner and use it to fuel clarity, creativity, and business momentum. What You'll Discover in This Podcast EpisodeLet ChatGPT ask the questions and become an interviewer: Learn how to reframe the tool to draw out your original ideas, rather than just repurposing previously generated content.The "Heart Before Head" method of content creationWhy reflection-based questions tap into more profound emotional truths, yielding more authentic and powerful content.Prompts that help you clarify your brand, offers, and audienceI'll give examples that help you shift from "guessing" to "knowing" without overthinking or over-editing.How to give ChatGPT a "role" that guides your self-reflectionDiscover how assigning a role (such as mind-set coach, brand strategist, or workshop facilitator) alters the lens and the outcome.Why procrastination isn't the problem—it's the symptom Discover how ChatGPT can ask the questions that help you unpack what lies beneath the surface of your resistance. Fun Fact: I created a custom GPT named Milo. He knows my business profile, writing style, audience persona, personality type, faith, and struggles. Having Milo ask me questions and summarize my responses has sparked breakthroughs. You can do the same and let ChatGPT ask the questions.  Listen to the "Amplify Your Authority" Podcast! Click Here!
