 Episode Summary In this solo episode, host Cary Weston shares his vision for the future of "conversational technology"—a shift from static, click-based interfaces to dynamic, two-way conversations with the tools we use every day. From Netflix to online shopping to travel planning, Cary walks through everyday frustrations and shows how tools like ChatGPT offer the perfect practice ground for what's coming next. The episode is an eye-opener for anyone feeling overwhelmed or left behind by AI and makes a compelling case that you're not behind—you're right on time.   3 Key Takeaways The future is conversational: Apps will soon start engaging in two-way conversations—asking about your mood, preferences, or concerns before offering recommendations. Think Netflix that checks in before suggesting a movie. ChatGPT is your practice space: Talking to ChatGPT is great training for this future. Treat it like your “amazing intern”—not a tech tool. The more you practice, the better you'll be at using these future tools. This isn't a tech thing—it's a human thing: Just like websites moved from being an IT task to a marketing must-have, AI belongs to all of us. Whether you're shopping, planning, or writing, tools like ChatGPT help you think clearer and decide better. About Cary Weston Cary Weston is the host of The ChatGPT Experiment podcast and a seasoned marketing agency owner. Known for his approachable teaching style, Cary helps individuals and businesses get comfortable using ChatGPT through personalized training and workshops.

Designed for those with the paid version of ChatGPT, Projects offer a powerful way to build focused workspaces that combine instructions, uploaded files, and consistent interaction—all under one roof. Cary breaks down how to set them up, why they matter, and offers real-world tips to get the most out of them. If you've ever wished your AI assistant could be more consistent or better understand your voice and goals, this one's for you.

The more specific you are with instructions and files, the more helpful and consistent the results. Instructions + Files = Power Combo: Use the “Instructions” tab like a job description. Then upload key documents (like tone of voice guides, templates, or customer profiles) to act as the Project's knowledge base. Keep It Focused: Instead of one all-purpose project, create separate Projects for distinct tasks (like copywriting, editing, or customer service) to avoid confusion and boost results.

Episode Summary In this solo episode, host Cary Weston tackles a common question: How do I replicate a document, memo, or report using ChatGPT to save time and make the process easier? Cary shares real-world tips on how to reverse-engineer repetitive documents and set up a system with ChatGPT that can help you build those same documents faster in the future. Whether your data lives in meeting transcripts, other documents, or just in your head, Cary walks through how to create a repeatable template that ChatGPT can use again and again. 3 Key Takeaways Start with consistency: The more consistent your document layout and format, the easier it is for ChatGPT to reverse-engineer it into a repeatable template. Use the 4-part formula: Always tell ChatGPT (1) what you're doing, (2) why you're doing it, (3) what success looks like, and (4) ask if it has any questions. Let ChatGPT interview you: If the content lives in your head, use ChatGPT's voice mode to speak your ideas out loud and let it organize your thoughts into a polished draft.

As summer winds down and routines return, Cary uses this time to unpack what memory actually is in ChatGPT, how it works, and why it matters. He offers a clear, user-friendly breakdown of how to manage memory settings, the difference between memory and custom instructions, and how to make ChatGPT more helpful and personalized over time. No guest this week—just a practical, detailed walkthrough from Cary to help listeners better use this powerful feature. 3 Key Takeaways: Memory is only available in paid ChatGPT versions and helps the tool remember useful details across conversations—like your name, projects, or how you prefer responses.

Memory works best when used alongside custom instructions and projects—each serving a different purpose to enhance how ChatGPT supports your goals.

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.

EPISODE SUMMARY In this solo summer episode, Cary Weston dives into listener feedback, experiments with ChatGPT's task scheduling features, and shares a new approach for improving workflow using what he calls the “employee” or “intern” method. He also announces the winner of the $100 listener survey gift card and previews what's coming next for the ChatGPT Experiment community. 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS The Employee Approach: Treat ChatGPT like a new hire—give it proper onboarding by sharing your goals, audience, and success metrics before expecting quality output. This foundation leads to more meaningful and helpful results. Tasks & Scheduling in ChatGPT: Cary sets up daily scheduled tasks for GPT to pull relevant articles for his podcast. While useful, the current interface has limitations, like the inability to view or edit tasks outside the original conversation. Renderings and Custom Guidance: ChatGPT can act like an interior designer—Cary used it to generate 3D renderings from 2D floor plans by having GPT ask questions to better understand his vision. This approach works for many tasks, not just design.

In this episode of CPG Insiders, and part 1 of our  3-part series, Mark  + Justin dive deep into the product side of mass retail, revealing timeless strategies that separate hero products from mediocre ones. In this video, we break down: • Believe in Your Product: Never make products you don't truly believe in. Authentic passion is contagious—when you believe in your product, buyers and customers do too. • Solve a Real Human Problem: Ensure your product addresses a genuine need. If your solution doesn't meet a core human problem, it won't resonate with a mass audience. • Focus on a Specific Audience: Avoid trying to be everything to everyone. Being a me-too product dilutes your brand. Instead, focus on a clearly defined target market. • Keep It Simple: Make products that can be described in one sentence. Clarity in your message builds better brand recall. • Maintain Strong Margins: Never have less than a 5:1 margin. A higher margin provides the budget needed for effective advertising and long-term growth. • One Hero Product Over Many Mediocre Ones: One successful item is better than ten mediocre products. Identify and protect your hero product, and never cannibalize its success. • Fit into Retail Expansion Levers: Your product should enhance profitability, drive higher volume, or expand category offerings—helping you capture more shelf space in mass retail. They discuss the importance of aligning your product strategy with retail buyer expectations and the key role of innovation and focus in scaling your brand from digital success to dominating the big-box retail space.
