EPISODE SUMMARY In this episode of The ChatGPT Experiment, host Cary Weston brings back Greg Howe, founder of Gimme Info, for a deep dive into how small businesses and solopreneurs can use AI and automation to reclaim their time. Greg specializes in helping non-technical professionals streamline daily operations using tools like Make.com, ChatGPT, and Gmail.

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.

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.

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.
