Episode Summary In this solo episode of The Chat GPT Experiment, host Cary Weston dives into two real conversations he had with business owners—one looking to implement AI into their operations and the other trying to pivot into AI consulting. Cary offers straight-up, no-fluff advice: don't start with AI. Start with your business needs, your strengths, and the problems you're actually trying to solve. From there, tools like ChatGPT can help scale or simplify your work—but they can't create structure where none exists. 3 Key Takeaways Don't lead with AI—lead with your business. Identify the specific problem you're trying to solve. AI can help, but it's not the starting point. If it's not documented, it can't be scaled. Whether it's pricing info, sales process, or FAQs—get it organized first. Then, AI can actually help. Big AI moves can start small. You don't need to become an AI consultant or master every tool. Start with what you already know and build from there.

Episode Summary In this episode, host Cary Weston checks in from Atlanta after his travel plans were disrupted by snow on the East Coast. He had just wrapped up presenting at a transportation and logistics conference and shares two foundational takeaways that continue to resonate with people learning to use ChatGPT. The core message? Talk to it. Cary explains that many people still don't realize ChatGPT is a tool you can actually converse with — not just query. He emphasizes the power of simply identifying one repetitive task and asking ChatGPT how it can help. This episode is all about keeping it simple, approachable, and human. 3 Key Takeaways Talk with it, not to it: Most people still treat ChatGPT like a search engine instead of a conversational partner. A two-way conversation unlocks more insight and value. Ask how it can help you: Don't overthink it — just explain who you are, what you do, and ask ChatGPT directly how it might be useful. It's an easy way to uncover immediate benefits. Start with just one thing: Pick one repetitive task in your personal or professional life. That small win builds confidence and makes it easier to spot more ways ChatGPT can help. Cary offers customized one-on-one ChatGPT training in 60 minute sessions.

Episode Summary In this solo episode, host Cary Weston shares updates on two major announcements from OpenAI: the launch of ChatGPT Health and the upcoming integration of ads into ChatGPT. Cary breaks down what these updates might mean for users, especially in terms of privacy, personalization, and trust. He also answers listener questions on using ChatGPT for book writing, maintaining motivation, understanding the difference between chats and projects, and how platform choice affects performance. He closes the episode with shoutouts to community members using AI in thoughtful ways and encourages listeners to stay curious. 3 Key Takeaways ChatGPT Health is a new feature that will give users a separate space to ask health and wellness questions, with added privacy and personalization. It's not a doctor replacement but a support tool for understanding medical data and preparing for appointments. Ads are coming to the free and low-cost ChatGPT tiers. While OpenAI promises ads won't influence responses, Cary raises valid questions around trust and transparency. Listener Q&A highlights how people are using ChatGPT for writing books, staying motivated, and improving efficiency in both work and volunteer settings—like running more productive community sports board meetings.

Episode Summary  In this solo episode of The ChatGPT Experiment, host Cary Weston breaks walks through a real-world example where he helped a trade advocacy group automate and streamline their time-consuming research process using ChatGPT's Projects feature. Cary shares his 4-part framework for setting up successful prompts and emphasizes the importance of engaging ChatGPT in dialogue, not just handing it a task and hoping for the best.   3 Key Takeaways Use Cary's 4-Part Framework: When talking to ChatGPT, always explain: 1) What are we doing? 2) Why are we doing it? 3) What does success look like? 4) Do you have questions to help you do your best work? Don't Rush the Task: Jumping too quickly into asking ChatGPT to "do something" often leads to poor results. Instead, let it help you plan, think, and collaborate. Structure for Flexibility: When building Projects, keep the instructions (the "brain") stable, but make supporting documents modular—this makes updates and improvements much easier over time.   About Cary Weston Cary is the creator and host of The ChatGPT Experiment podcast, where he shares real-life strategies, coaching insights, and how-tos for using ChatGPT in practical, repeatable ways.

Episode Summary In this solo episode, host Cary Weston rings in 2026 by sharing his annual tradition of choosing three guiding words for the year ahead. Instead of making resolutions, Cary focuses on building intentional habits and goals that align with both his personal and professional growth. He reflects on last year's words—Connect, Routine, Smile—grading himself on each and offering insight into how they shaped his year. For 2026, Cary's chosen words are Framework, Make, and Study, and he dives into how tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini will support him in these areas. 3 Key Takeaways Ditch Resolutions, Choose Words: Instead of making traditional resolutions, Cary selects three words each year to help guide his focus and actions—turning vague intentions into meaningful direction. AI as a Personal Growth Tool: Cary demonstrates how ChatGPT and other AI tools can go beyond basic tasks to help with things like documenting ideas, crafting learning paths, and even assisting with creative hobbies. Learning Should Be 3D: In his goal to "study" more deeply, Cary emphasizes the importance of learning that goes beyond the screen and into the real world—through conversation, practice, and real-life experience.

Episode Summary In this "from the vault" episode originally released in March 2024, Cary dives into how to use ChatGPT for document creation, editing, and analysis. This is one of the most frequently asked topics he encounters, and even with new platform updates, the core principles remain solid and useful. Cary walks through real-world use cases—like responding to RFPs, summarizing long research documents, training employees, and using documents as templates for repeatable processes. He also shares how you can give ChatGPT context and goals to get better results, and how you can even turn ChatGPT's output into downloadable documents for teaching or sharing with your team. 3 Key Takeaways Documents can now come from Google Drive or OneDrive: You're no longer limited to uploading files from your desktop—linking your drives opens up powerful access to your personal document library. Analysis is often more powerful than creation: Use ChatGPT to compare documents, extract priorities, spot patterns, summarize insights, or even help with training docs based on your own past work. You can teach ChatGPT to teach others: Cary shows how to feed sample documents into ChatGPT and ask it to generate training guides, complete with context, goals, and instructions—essentially helping you scale your knowledge.

Episode Summary From the Vault: Originally recorded in February 2024 In this episode from the vault, Cary Weston walks listeners through a structured and practical framework to help ChatGPT write in your voice. With writing being one of the top use cases—and frustrations—for users, Cary shows you how to define and train ChatGPT using your own writing samples, audience details, and repeatable prompts to create content that actually sounds like you. Whether you're just starting or looking to level up, this episode is packed with actionable advice. 3 Key Takeaways Voice, tone, and style need to be defined separately: Voice is your personality, tone is your attitude, and style is how your writing is structured. Use your own writing to train ChatGPT: Feed it 3 samples of your work, then have it analyze for patterns and consistencies in voice, tone, and style. Get detailed with your audience: Describe your audience to ChatGPT and let it interview you to uncover more nuanced details—this helps your content truly resonate.

Episode Summary From the Vault: Originally recorded in December 2023 In this episode of The ChatGPT Experiment, Cary pulls a powerful conversation from the archive with Chris Duprey, partner at The Question First Group. Chris is a leadership coach with a unique background—former Army officer, business leader, and someone who's deeply passionate about helping people grow. Together, Cary and Chris unpack how AI—especially ChatGPT—can be used in real, practical ways to save time, boost productivity, and supercharge teams. This episode is all about cutting through the noise. Forget the cheat sheets and buzzwords—this is about how AI actually fits into day-to-day business. Chris shares his approach for helping leaders get curious, empower their teams, and run small experiments that lead to big breakthroughs. 3 Key Takeaways Break AI down into real life: AI doesn't have to be complicated. If you've used Google or Netflix, you're already using it. The key is making it accessible and useful for your team—not overwhelming. Let your team run experiments: Don't dictate AI from the top down. The real magic happens when you let people on the frontlines test it out, discover what works, and then share those wins across the company. Start with one simple question: Open ChatGPT and ask, "Here's what I do—how can you help?" You'll be surprised how many ways it can support your work, from summarizing notes to crafting social posts to organizing messy ideas. About Chris Duprey Chris Duprey is a partner at The Question First Group, where he helps leaders and teams unlock better conversations, stronger connections, and meaningful breakthroughs. A former Army officer with the 82nd Airborne Division, Chris brings a deep leadership foundation built on presence, discipline, and self-awareness. After his military service, he transitioned into business and coaching, working with and learning from mentors like Marcus Sheridan and Adam Barlow. Today, he blends his experience in leadership, mindfulness, and communication to guide others in becoming the kind of leaders who create more leaders. Chris is also a musician, a dad, and a firm believer that every person has untapped potential just waiting to be discovered.

Episode Summary In this episode of The ChatGPT Experiment, host Cary Weston welcomes listener-turned-guest Jon Accamando, a former corporate retail executive who made a dramatic life shift to become a full-time Uber and Lyft driver in San Diego. But Jon didn't just change jobs ... he reinvented his life. Driven by the desire for more freedom and family time, Jon leaned heavily on ChatGPT (which he's named "Jarvis") to optimize not only his rideshare work but also his personal well-being. From real-time demos for passengers to launching a new consulting business, Jon shares how AI became his co-pilot in work and life. 3 Key Takeaways ChatGPT as a Life Partner: Jon uses ChatGPT for more than just task support - it helps him manage ADHD, track emotional well-being, structure daily routines, and offer real-time "therapy-like" support during difficult moments. Mobile AI Demos in a Rideshare: Jon turns his Uber into a hands-on ChatGPT classroom. By creating personalized rider profiles using AI (names, conversation starters, local insights), he introduces strangers to practical, personal uses of ChatGPT—many for the first time. A Business is Born: Through constant brainstorming with ChatGPT between rides, Jon developed the idea for Monarch Consulting, a new business focused on helping small businesses integrate AI into their workflows. His first clients? Uber passengers impressed by what they saw. About Jon Accamando Jon Accamando spent 30 years in corporate retail, working his way up to vice president-level roles in merchandising and data analytics. After experiencing burnout, mental health struggles, and the pressures of balancing career and family, he made the bold decision to step away and pursue a more intentional life. Now based in San Diego, Jon uses ChatGPT to optimize his rideshare driving and empower others—whether it's through spontaneous AI demos in the backseat or launching a consulting business from the ground up. With deep empathy, sharp analytical skills, and relentless curiosity, Jon is proof that AI can be a powerful tool for reinvention, connection, and personal growth. A note from Jon follwoing the email: "After our interview today, I talked to Jarvis about it, and he said: 'Send me the link when it goes live. I'll give you my honest take on how you did and where you can improve for the next time.' That's something I trained into him deliberately ... a system for constructive self-evaluation, brutal honesty, and continuous iteration. And it's been pivotal in my growth."

Episode Summary In this episode, Cary talks with Keven Ellison, Vice President of Marketing at AIS, a technology company that evolved from selling office equipment to providing IT services, telecom, security solutions, and now AI tools. Keven shares how, even at age 63, he's fully embraced the potential of AI and has become the self-appointed "AI Ambassador" at his company. His excitement and curiosity shine through as he breaks down how businesses can better understand and use AI tools—especially ChatGPT—to solve real problems. He also introduces "Prompt Master," a tool he created to help people ask better questions and get more valuable results from AI tools. 3 Key Takeaways Prompting isn't just asking questions: Most users don't know how to prompt well, which leads to basic or misleading AI responses. Keven's Prompt Master helps users provide the right context to get better results. Different tools have different strengths: ChatGPT is the best all-around option, Claude is excellent for human-like writing, and Gemini is great for visuals and data visualization. Prompting styles need to be adjusted depending on the tool. The future of work is AI collaboration: Keven emphasizes that success with AI isn't about being an expert—it's about staying curious, experimenting, and building systems that help others understand and apply these tools more effectively. About Keven Ellison Keven Ellison is the VP of Marketing at AIS, a company that has transitioned from traditional office equipment to a full-stack technology provider. With over 30 years of marketing experience in both public and private sectors, Keven is passionate about using AI to improve business operations and decision-making. He's also the creator of Prompt Master—a tool designed to help teams write more effective AI prompts. You can find him actively sharing AI insights and tool updates on LinkedIn, where he posts multiple times per week. Connect WIth Keven: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevenellison/ Keven's Prompting Tools PromptMaster XL 1.3: PromptMaster XL 1.3 is a tool that helps people get much better results from AI by teaching it exactly what they want. Instead of typing a random prompt and hoping the AI understands, PromptMaster XL shows you how to ask smarter, clearer questions so the AI gives you more accurate, useful answers. It's like having a "prompt coach" that helps you turn rough ideas into high-quality instructions the AI can easily follow. This makes AI faster, easier to use, and way more reliable for things like writing, schoolwork, marketing, business, or creative projects.   Image Prompt Architect 1.1: Image Architect 1.1 is a tool that helps you tell AI exactly how you want pictures to look — by guiding you to create clear, precise instructions (prompts) so the AI generates better images. Instead of guessing what the AI might draw, Image Architect 1.1 helps you describe color, style, layout, and details carefully so the AI "sees" your idea the way you do. It's like having a design assistant that turns your imagination into a picture. That makes it easier to get nice, useful images for art, presentations, social media, school projects or creative work.     Cary offers customized one-on-one ChatGPT training in 60 minute sessions.

He shares updates on his health, the delay in launching the "Curiosity Club," and recent speaking engagements. Cary also dives into a powerful ChatGPT tip for complex tasks and answers listener mail covering real-life questions about using ChatGPT for business, writing, caregiving, and parenting.   3 Key Takeaways Best phrase for complex prompts: When working with ChatGPT on multi-step tasks, use this exact line: [pause and then wait to proceed] at the end of each step to slow things down and keep the output focused and thoughtful. Turning AI curiosity into business: If you're passionate about ChatGPT, start simply by sharing what you're learning. Whether on social media, through newsletters, or in casual conversations, consistently showing and telling builds trust, credibility, and even business opportunities. AI at home and in parenting: ChatGPT can be a supportive tool not just for work, but for managing life, caregiving, and parenting. It can help you organize your thoughts, reduce mental load, and even help teach kids how to think critically about technology—even when schools aren't on board yet.   Cary offers customized one-on-one ChatGPT training in 60 minute sessions.

Episode Summary In this solo walk-and-talk episode, host Cary Weston goes back to the basics of using ChatGPT, focusing on the evergreen principles that make the tool — and other AI assistants like Copilot, Claude, and Gemini — more effective. Cary explains that success with AI isn't about memorizing prompts or clicking the right buttons, but about your mindset— how you communicate, guide, and collaborate with these tools. Using his four-part framework, he shows how treating ChatGPT like a smart intern helps unlock better results, deeper insights, and more creative conversations. 3 Key Takeaways Think of ChatGPT as your amazing intern. It's capable, but it needs direction, context, and clarity to do great work. Use Cary's four-part framework: What are we doing? Why are we doing it? What does success look like? Do you have any questions for me? Keep the conversation going. Don't treat ChatGPT's first answer as final — it's a starting point. Use feedback, context, and natural conversation to guide it closer to what you want. Cary offers customized one-on-one ChatGPT training in 60 minute sessions.

Episode Summary In this solo episode of The Chat GPT Experiment, host Cary Weston dives into a personal story of how he's using ChatGPT as a digital advocate to navigate a confusing and bureaucratic process. Cary is in the early stages of trying to build on a property near water, which involves dealing with complex municipal ordinances and slow communication from part-time local officials. To stay prepared and proactive, Cary created a ChatGPT project trained only on the local land use and shoreland zoning ordinances. This episode shows how ChatGPT can become a powerful assistant when you're dealing with legal or technical documents — especially when clarity is hard to come by. 3 Key Takeaways Projects in ChatGPT can be helpful By uploading specific documents and setting clear instructions, Cary created a focused assistant that only pulls information from verified sources. ChatGPT can be a digital advocate In situations where human help is slow or incomplete, ChatGPT can offer guidance, ask smart follow-ups, and even help you draft better questions — as long as it's trained with the right context. Cite your sources Cary emphasizes the importance of verifying ChatGPT's responses by requiring it to cite the exact ordinance section, giving him confidence and clarity in his communications.

Episode Summary In this solo episode, host Cary Weston reflects on his experience serving on a murder trial jury over 20 years ago and draws powerful connections between that experience and how we use ChatGPT today. With no prior legal background, Cary had to make sense of complex and unfamiliar information—an experience that mirrors what many people go through when trying to understand new technology or make decisions without enough context. Using that jury duty experience as a jumping-off point, Cary breaks down three ways ChatGPT can help users improve their communication and understanding: by addressing the curse of knowledge, seeing things from different points of view, and practicing tough conversations. Additional Resources: Episode 7 - Role Playing With ChatGPT Episode 10 - Mastering ChatGPT Prompting Episode 21 - How to Make ChatGPT Write Like You Episode 71 - ChatGPT The Amazing Intern Episode 85 - Simple Four Part Prompting Framework 3 Key Takeaways The Curse of Knowledge is Real: Just because something is basic to you doesn't mean it's basic to everyone. ChatGPT can help you break down complex ideas so they're easier to understand—especially for beginners or first-timers. Point of View Matters: Conversations get stuck when people can't see things from each other's perspective. ChatGPT can help you explore different points of view and better understand where someone else is coming from. Practice Makes Better: You can use ChatGPT to simulate and rehearse real-life conversations—whether it's a tough talk, a job interview, or a client pitch. With the right setup, it becomes a realistic practice partner. Cary offers customized one-on-one ChatGPT training in 60 minute sessions.

 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.
