Inspired by the continual hopping process we invented with 90 Minute IPA, 60 Minute builds on that one-of-a-kind process and flavor, crafting a solid gold hit that's found its own identity. Brewed using a boatload of intense Northwest hops, we boil this continually hopped IPA for a full 60 minutes, adding more than 60 hop additions continuously to create a bold and timeless flavor. Continually hopped to deliver a pungently, citrusy, grassy hop flavor without being crushingly bitter, 60 Minute IPA is a surprisingly sessionable IPA for the craft enthusiast.

The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn – 00:00 In this week’s In Ear Insights, boy, have we got a whole bunch of mail. We’ve obviously been on the road a lot doing events. A lot. Katie, you did the AI for B2B summit with the Marketing AI Institute not too long ago, and we have piles of questions—there’s never enough time. Let’s tackle this first one from Anthony, which is an interesting question. It’s a long one. He said in Katie’s presentation about making sure marketing data is ready to work in AI: “We know AI sometimes gives confident but incorrect results, especially with large data sets.” He goes with this long example about the Oscars. How can marketers make sure their data processes catch small but important AI-generated errors like that? And how mistake-proof is the 6C framework that you presented in the talk? Katie Robbert – 00:48 The 6C framework is only as error-proof as you are prepared, is maybe the best way to put it. Unsurprisingly, I’m going to pull up the five P’s to start with: Purpose, People, Process, Platform, Performance. This is where we suggest people start with getting ready before you start using the 6 Cs because first you want to understand what it is that I’m trying to do. The crappy answer is nothing is ever fully error-proof, but things are going to get you pretty close. When we talk about marketing data, we always talk about it as directional versus exact because there are things out of your control in terms of how it’s collected, or what people think or their perceptions of what the responses should be, whatever the situation is. Katie Robbert – 01:49 If it’s never going to be 100% perfect, but it’s going to be directional and give you the guidance you need to answer the question being asked. Which brings us back to the five Ps: What is the question being asked? Why are we doing this? Who’s involved? This is where you put down who are the people contributing the data, but also who are the people owning the data, cleaning the data, maintaining the data, accessing the data. The process: How is the data collected? Are we confident that we know that if we’ve set up a survey, how that survey is getting disseminated and how responses are coming back in? Katie Robbert – 02:28 If you’re using third-party tools, is it a black box, or do you have a good understanding in Google Analytics, for example, the definitions of the dimensions and the metrics, or Adobe Analytics, the definitions of the variables and all of those different segments and channels? Those are the things that you want to make sure that you have control over. Platform: If your data is going through multiple places, is it transforming to your knowledge when it goes from A to B to C or is it going to one place? And then Performance: Did we answer the question being asked? First things first, you have to set your expectations correctly: This is what we have to work with. Katie Robbert – 03:10 If you are using SEO data, for example, if you’re pulling data out of Ahrefs, or if you’re pulling data out of a third-party tool like Ahrefs or SEMrush, do you know exactly how that data is collected, all of the different sources? If you’re saying, “Oh well, I’m looking at my competitors’ data, and this is their domain rating, for example,” do you know what goes into that? Do you know how it’s calculated? Katie Robbert – 03:40 Those are all the things that you want to do up front before you even get into the 6 Cs because the 6 Cs is going to give you an assessment and audit of your data quality, but it’s not going to tell you all of these things from the five Ps of where it came from, who collected it, how it’s collected, what platforms it’s in. You want to make sure you’re using both of those frameworks together. And then, going through the 6C audit that I covered in the AI for B2B Marketers Summit, which I think we have—the 6C audit on our Instant Insights—we can drop a link to that in the show notes of this podcast. You can grab a copy of that. Basically, that’s what I would say to that. Katie Robbert – 04:28 There’s no—in my world, and I’ve been through a lot of regulated data—there is no such thing as the perfect data set because there are so many factors out of your control. You really need to think about the data being a guideline versus the exactness. Christopher S. Penn – 04:47 One of the things, with all data, one of the best practices is to get out a spoon and start stirring and sampling. Taking samples of your data along the way. If you, like you said, if you start out with bad data to begin with, you’re going to get bad data out. AI won’t make that better—AI will just make it bigger. But even on the outbound side, when you’re looking at data that AI generates, you should be looking at it. I would be really concerned if a company was using generative AI in their pipeline and no one was at least spot-checking the data, opening up the hood every now and then, taking a sample of the soup and going, “Yep, that looks right.” Particularly if there are things that AI is going to get wrong. Christopher S. Penn – 05:33 One of the things you talked about in your session, and you showed Google Colab with this, was to not let AI do math. If you’re gonna get hallucinations anywhere, it’s gonna be if you let a generative AI model attempt to do math to try to calculate a mean, or a median, or a moving average—it’s just gonna be a disaster. Katie Robbert – 05:52 Yeah, I don’t do that. The 6 Cs is really, again, it’s just to audit the data set itself. The process that we’ve put together that uses Google Colab, as Chris just mentioned, is meant to do that in an automated fashion, but also give you the insights on how to clean up the data set. If this is the data that you have to use to answer the question from the five Ps, what do I have to do to make this a usable data set? It’s going to give you that information as well. We had Anthony’s question: “The correctness is only as good as your preparedness.” You can quote me on that. Christopher S. Penn – 06:37 The more data you provide, the less likely you’re going to get hallucinations. That’s just the way these tools work. If you are asking the tool to infer or create things from your data that aren’t in the data you provided, the risk of hallucination goes up if you’re asking language models to do non-language tasks. A simple example that we’ve seen go very badly time and time again is anything geospatial: “Hey, I’m in Boston, what are five nearby towns I should go visit? Rank them in order of distance.” Gets it wrong every single time. Because a language model is not a spatial model. It can’t do that. The knowing what language models can and can’t do is a big part of that. Okay, let’s move on to the next one, which is from a different. Christopher S. Penn – 07:31 Chris says that every B2B company is struggling with how to roll out AI, and many CEOs think it is non-strategic and just tactical. “Just go and do some AI.” What are the high-level metrics that you found that can be used with executive teams to show the strategic importance of AI? Katie Robbert – 07:57 I feel like this is a bad question, and I know I say that. One of the things that I’m currently working on: If you haven’t gotten it yet, you can go ahead and download our AI readiness kit, which is all of our best frameworks, and we walk through how you can get ready to integrate AI. You can get that at TrustInsights.ai/AIKit. I’m in the process of turning that into a course to help people even further go on this journey of integrating AI. And one of the things that keeps coming up: so unironically, I’m using generative AI to help me prepare for this course. And I, borrowing a technique from Chris, I said, “Ask me questions about these things that I need to be able to answer.” Katie Robbert – 08:50 And very similar to the question that this other Chris is asking, there were questions like, “What is the one metric?” Or, “What is the one thing?” And I personally hate questions like that because it’s never as simple as “Here’s the one thing,” or “Here’s the one data point” that’s going to convince people to completely overhaul their thinking and change their mind. When you are working with your leadership team and they’re looking for strategic initiatives, you do have to start at the tactical level because you have to think about what is the impact day-to-day that this thing is going to have, but also that sort of higher level of how is this helping us achieve our overall vision, our goals. Katie Robbert – 09:39 One of the exercises in the AI kit, and also will be in the course, is your strategic alignment. The way that it’s approached, first and foremost, you still have to know what you want to do, so you can’t skip the five Ps. I’m going to give you the TRIPS homework. TRIPS is Time, Repetitive, Importance, Pain, and Sufficient Data. And it’s a simple worksheet where you sort of outline all the things that I’m doing currently so you can find those good candidates to give those tasks to AI. It’s very tactical. It’s important, though, because if you don’t know where you’re going to start, who cares about the strategic initiative? Who cares about the goals? Because then you’re just kind of throwing things against the wall to see what’s going to stick. So, do TRIPS. Katie Robbert – 10:33 Do the five P’s, go through this goal alignment work exercise, and then bring all of that information—the narrative, the story, the impact, the risks—to your strategic team, to your leadership team. There’s no magic. If I just had this one number, and you’re going to say, “Oh, but I could tell them what the ROI is.” “Get out!” There is an ROI worksheet in the AI kit, but you still have to do all those other things first. And it’s a combination of a lot of data. There is no one magic number. There is no one or two numbers that you can bring. But there are exercises that you can go through to tell the story, to help them understand. Katie Robbert – 11:24 This is the impact. This is why. These are the risks. These are the people. These are the results that we want to be able to get. Christopher S. Penn – 11:34 To the ROI one, because that’s one of my least favorite ones. The question I always ask is: Are you measuring your ROI now? Because if you’re not measuring it now, then you’re not going to know how AI made a difference. Katie Robbert – 11:47 It’s funny how that works. Christopher S. Penn – 11:48 Funny how that works. To no one’s surprise, they’re not measuring the ROI now. So. Katie Robbert – 11:54 Yeah, but suddenly we’re magically going to improve it. Christopher S. Penn – 11:58 Exactly. We’re just going to come up with it just magically. All right, let’s see. Let’s scroll down here into the next set of questions from your session. Christine asks: With data analytics, is it best to use Data Analyst and ChatGPT or Deep Research? I feel like the Data Analyst is more like collaboration where I prompt the analysis step-by-step. Well, both of those so far. Katie Robbert – 12:22 But she didn’t say for what purpose. Christopher S. Penn – 12:25 Just with data analytics, she said. That was her. Katie Robbert – 12:28 But that could mean a lot of different things. That’s not—and this is no fault to the question asker—but in order to give a proper answer, I need more information. I need to know. When you say data analytics, what does that mean? What are you trying to do? Are you pulling insights? Are you trying to do math and calculations? Are you combining data sets? What is that you’re trying to do? You definitely use Deep Research more than I do, Chris, because I’m not always convinced you need to do Deep Research. And I feel like sometimes it’s just an added step for no good reason. For data analytics, again, it really depends on what this user is trying to accomplish. Katie Robbert – 13:20 Are they trying to understand best practices for calculating a standard deviation? Okay, you can use Deep Research for that, but then you wouldn’t also use generative AI to calculate the standard deviation. It would just give you some instructions on how to do that. It’s a tough question. I don’t have enough information to give a good answer. Christopher S. Penn – 13:41 I would say if you’re doing analytics, Deep Research is always the wrong tool. Because what Deep Research is, is a set of AI agents, which means it’s still using base language models. It’s not using a compute environment like Colab. It’s not going to write code, so it’s not going to do math well. And OpenAI’s Data Analyst also kind of sucks. It has a lot of issues in its own little Python sandbox. Your best bet is what you showed during a session, which is to use Colab that writes the actual code to do the math. If you’re doing math, none of the AI tools in the market other than Colab will write the code to do the math well. And just please don’t do that. It’s just not a good idea. Christopher S. Penn – 14:27 Cheryl asks: How do we realistically execute against all of these AI opportunities that you’re presenting when no one internally has the knowledge and we all have full-time jobs? Katie Robbert – 14:40 I’m going to go back to the AI kit: TrustInsights.ai/AIKit. And I know it all sounds very promotional, but we put this together for a reason—to solve these exact problems. The “I don’t know where to start.” If you don’t know where to start, I’m going to put you through the TRIPS framework. If you don’t know, “Do I even have the data to do this?” I’m going to walk you through the 6 Cs. Those are the frameworks integrated into this AI kit and how they all work together. To the question that the user has of “We all have full-time jobs”: Yeah, you’re absolutely right. You’re asking people to do something new. Sometimes it’s a brand new skill set. Katie Robbert – 15:29 Using something like the TRIPS framework is going to help you focus. Is this something we should even be looking at right now? We talk a lot about, “Don’t add one more thing to people’s lists.” When you go through this exercise, what’s not in the framework but what you have to include in the conversation is: We focused down. We know that these are the two things that we want to use generative AI for. But then you have to start to ask: Do we have the resources, the right people, the budget, the time? Can we even do this? Is it even realistic? Are we willing to invest time and energy to trying this? There’s a lot to consider. It’s not an easy question to answer. Katie Robbert – 16:25 You have to be committed to making time to even think about what you could do, let alone doing the thing. Christopher S. Penn – 16:33 To close out Autumn’s very complicated question: How do you approach conversations with your clients at Trust Insights who are resistant to AI due to ethical and moral impacts—not only due to some people who are using it as a human replacement and laying off, but also things like ecological impacts? That’s a big question. Katie Robbert – 16:58 Nobody said you have to use it. So if we know. In all seriousness, if we have a client who comes to us and says, “I want you to do this work. I don’t want you to use AI to complete this work.” We do not—it does not align with our mission, our value, whatever the thing is, or we are regulated, we’re not allowed to use it. There’s going to be a lot of different scenarios where AI is not an appropriate mechanism. It’s technology. That’s okay. The responsibility is on us at Trust Insights to be realistic about. If we’re not using AI, this is the level of effort. Katie Robbert – 17:41 Just really being transparent about: Here’s what’s possible; here’s what’s not possible; or, here’s how long it will take versus if we used AI to do the thing, if we used it on our side, you’re not using it on your side. There’s a lot of different ways to have that conversation. But at the end of the day, if it’s not for you, then don’t force it to be for you. Obviously there’s a lot of tech that is now just integrating AI, and you’re using it without even knowing that you’re using it. That’s not something that we at Trust Insights have control over. We’re. Katie Robbert – 18:17 Trust me, if we had the power to say, “This is what this tech does,” we would obviously be a lot richer and a lot happier, but we don’t have those magic powers. All we can do is really work with our clients to say what works for you, and here’s what we have capacity to do, and here are our limitations. Christopher S. Penn – 18:41 Yeah. The challenge that companies are going to run into is that AI kind of sets a bar in terms of the speed at which something will take and a minimum level of quality, particularly for stuff that isn’t code. The challenge is going to be for companies: If you want to not use AI for something, and that’s a valid choice, you will have to still meet user and customer expectations that they will get the thing just as fast and just as high quality as a competitor that is using generative AI or classical AI. And that’s for a lot of companies and a lot of people—that is a tough pill to swallow. Christopher S. Penn – 19:22 If you are a graphic designer and someone says, “I could use AI and have my thing in 42 seconds, or I could use you and have my thing in three weeks and you cost 10 times as much.” It’s a very difficult thing for the graphic designer to say, “Yeah, I don’t use AI, but I can’t meet your expectations of what you would get out of an AI in terms of the speed and the cost.” Katie Robbert – 19:51 Right. But then, what they’re trading is quality. What they’re trading is originality. So it really just comes down to having honest conversations and not trying to be a snake oil salesman to say, “Yes, I can be everything to everyone.” We can totally deliver high quality, super fast and super cheap. Just be realistic, because it’s hard because we’re all sort of in the same boat right now: Budgets are being tightened, and companies are hiring but not hiring. They’re not paying enough and people are struggling to find work. And so we’re grasping at straws, trying to just say yes to anything that remotely makes sense. Katie Robbert – 20:40 Chris, that’s where you and I were when we started Trust Insights; we kind of said yes to a lot of things that upon reflection, we wouldn’t say yes today. But when we were starting the company, we kind of felt like we had to. And it takes a lot of courage to say no, but we’ve gotten better about saying no to things that don’t fit. And I think that’s where a lot of people are going to find themselves—when they get into those conversations about the moral use and the carbon footprint and what it’s doing to our environment. I think it’ll, unfortunately, be easy to overlook those things if it means that I can get a paycheck. And I can put food on the table. It’s just going to be hard. Christopher S. Penn – 21:32 Yep. Until, the advice we’d give people at every level in the organization is: Yes, you should have familiarity with the tools so you know what they do and what they can’t do. But also, you personally could be working on your personal brand, on your network, on your relationship building with clients—past and present—with prospective clients. Because at the end of the day, something that Reid Hoffman, the founder of LinkedIn, said is that every opportunity is tied to a person. If you’re looking for an opportunity, you’re really looking for a person. And as complicated and as sophisticated as AI gets, it still is unlikely to replace that interpersonal relationship, at least in the business world. It will in some of the buying process, but the pre-buying process is how you would interrupt that. Christopher S. Penn – 22:24 Maybe that’s a talk for another time about Marketing in the Age of AI. But at the bare minimum, your lifeboat—your insurance policy—is that network. It’s one of the reasons why we have the Trust Insights newsletter. We spend so much time on it. It’s one of the reasons why we have the Analytics for Marketers Slack group and spend so much time on it: Because we want to be able to stay in touch with real people and we want to be able to go to real people whenever we can, as opposed to hoping that the algorithmic deities choose to shine their favor upon us this day. Katie Robbert – 23:07 I think Marketing in the Age of AI is an important topic. The other topic that we see people talking about a lot is that pushback on AI and that craving for human connection. I personally don’t think that AI created this barrier between humans. It’s always existed. If anything, new tech doesn’t solve old problems. If anything, it’s just put a magnifying glass on how much we’ve siloed ourselves behind our laptops versus making those human connections. But it’s just easy to blame AI. AI is sort of the scapegoat for anything that goes wrong right now. Whether that’s true or not. So, Chris, to your point, if you’re reliant on technology and not making those human connections, you definitely have a lot of missed opportunities. Christopher S. Penn – 24:08 Exactly.

The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn – 00:00 In this week’s In Ear Insights, it is the battle between artisanal, handcrafted, organic content and machine-made. The Etsys versus the Amazons. We’re talking specifically about the use of AI to make stuff. Katie, you had some thoughts and some things you’re wrestling with about this topic, so why don’t you set the table, if you will. Katie Robbert – 00:22 It’s interesting because we always talk about people first and AI forward and using these tools. I feel like what’s happened is now there’s a bit of a stigma around something that’s AI-generated. If you used AI, you’re cheating or you’re shortcutting or it’s no longer an original thought. I feel like in some circumstances that’s true. However, there are other circumstances, other situations, where using something like generative AI can perhaps get you past a roadblock. For example, if you haven’t downloaded it yet, please go ahead and download our free AI strategy kit. The AI Ready Marketing Strategy Kit, which you can find at TrustInsights AIkit, I took just about everything I know about running Trust Insights and I used generative AI to help me compile all of that information. Katie Robbert – 01:34 Then I, the human, went through, refined it, edited, made sure it was accurate, and I put it all into this kit. It has frameworks, examples, stories—everything you could use to be successful. Now I’m using generative AI to help me build it out as a course. I had a moment this morning where I was like, I really shouldn’t be using generative AI. I should be doing this myself because now it’s disingenuous, it’s not authentic, it’s not me because the tool is creating it faster. Then I stopped and I actually read through what was being created. It wasn’t just a simple create a course for me. Katie Robbert – 02:22 It was all my background and the Katie prompt and all of my refinements and expertise, and it wasn’t just a 2-second thing. I’ve been working on this for three straight days now, and that’s all I’ve been doing. So now I actually have an outline. But that’s not all I have. I have a lot more work to do. So I bring this all up to say, I feel like we get this stigma of, if I’m using generative AI, I’m cheating or I’m shortcutting or it’s not me. I had to step back and go, I myself, the human, would have written these exact words. It’s just written it for me and it’s done it faster. I’ve gotten past that “I can’t do it” excuse because now it’s done. Katie Robbert – 03:05 So Chris, what are your reactions to that kind of overthinking of using generative AI? Christopher S. Penn – 03:14 I have some very strong reactions and strong words for that sort of thinking, but I will put it in professional terms. We’re going to start with the 5 Ps. Katie Robbert – 03:25 Surprise, surprise. Christopher S. Penn – 03:27 What is the purpose of the content, and how do you measure the performance? If I write a book with generative AI, if you build a course with generative AI, does the content fulfill the purpose of helping a marketer or a business person do the thing? Do they deploy AI correctly after going through the TRIPS framework, or do they prompt better using the Repel framework, which is the fifth P—performance? If we make the thing and they consume the thing and it helps them, mission accomplished. Who cares who wrote it? Who cares how it’s written? If it accomplishes the purpose and benefits our customer—as a marketer, as a business person—that’s what we should be caring about, not whether AI made it or not. Christopher S. Penn – 04:16 A lot of the angst about the artisanal, handcrafted, organic, farm-raised, grass-fed content that’s out there is somewhat narcissistic on behalf of the marketers. I will say this. I understand the reason for it. I understand the motivation and understand the emotional concern—holy crap, this thing’s doing my job better than I do it! Because it made a course for me in 4 hours, it made a book for me in 2 hours, and it’s as good as I would have done it, or maybe better than I would have done it. There is that element of, if it does it, then what do I do? What value do I bring? You said it perfectly, Katie. It’s your ideas, it’s your content, it’s your guidance. Christopher S. Penn – 05:05 No one in corporate America or anywhere says to the CEO, you didn’t make these products. So Walmart, this is just not a valid product because the CEO did not handcraft this product. No, that’s ridiculous. You have manufacturers, you have subcontractors, you have partners and vendors that make the thing that you, as the CEO, represent the company and say, ‘Hey, this company made this thing.’ Look, here’s a metal scrubby for your grill. We have proven as consumers, we don’t actually care where it’s made. We just want it faster, cheaper, and better. We want a metal scrubby that’s a dollar less than the last metal scrubby we bought. So that’s my reaction: the people who are most vociferous, understandably and justifiably, are concerned about their welfare. Christopher S. Penn – 05:55 They’re concerned about their prospects of work. But if we take a step back as business people—as marketers—is what we’re making helping the customer? Now, there’s plenty of use cases of AI slop that isn’t helping anybody. Clearly that’s not what we’re talking about. In the example we’re talking about here with you, Katie, we’re talking about you distilling you into a form that’s going to help the customer. Katie Robbert – 06:21 That was the mental hurdle I had to get over. Because when I took a look at everything I was creating, yes, it’s a shortcut, but not a cheat. It’s a shortcut in that it’s just generating my words a little bit faster than I might because I’m a slow writer. I still had to do all of the foundational work. I still had to have 25 years of experience in my field. I still have to have solid, proven frameworks that I can go back to time and time again. I still have to be able to explain how to use them and when to use them and how to put all the pieces together. Generative AI will take a stab at it. If I don’t give it all that information, it’ll get it wrong. Katie Robbert – 07:19 So I still have to do the work. I still have to put all of that information in. So I guess what I’m coming to is, it feels like it’s moving faster, but I’m still looking at a mountain of work ahead of me in order to get this thing out the door. I keep talking about it now because it’s an accountability thing. If I keep saying it’s going to happen, people will start asking, ‘Hey, where was that thing you said you were going to do?’ So now I have to do it. So that’s part of why I keep talking about it now so that I’ll actually have follow through. I have so much work ahead of me. Katie Robbert – 07:54 Generative AI, if I want a good quality end product that I can stand behind and put my name on, Generative AI is only going to take it so far. I, the human, still have to do the work. Christopher S. Penn – 08:09 I had the exact same experience with my new book, Almost Timeless. AI assembled all of my words. What did I provide as a starting point? Five hours of audio recordings to start, which are in the deluxe version of the book. You can hear me ranting as I’m driving down the highway to Albany, New York. Audio quality is not great, but. Eighteen months of newsletters of my Almost Timeless newsletter as the foundation. Yes, generative AI created and wrote the book in 90 minutes. Yes, it rearranged my words. To your point, 30 years of technology experience, 18 months of weekly newsletters, and 5 hours of audio recording was the source material it drew from. Christopher S. Penn – 08:53 Which, by the way, is also a really important point from a copyright perspective, because I have proof—and even for sale in the deluxe edition—that the words are originally mine first as a human, as a tangible work. Then I basically made a derivative work of my stuff. That’s not cheating. That’s using the tools for what they’re best at. We have said in all of our courses and all of our things, these tools are really good at: extraction, summarization, classification, rewriting, synthesis, question answering. Generation is what they’re least good at. But every donkey in the interest going, ‘Let’s write a blog post about B2B marketing.’ No, that’s the worst thing you can possibly use it for. Christopher S. Penn – 09:35 But if you say, ‘Here are all the raw ingredients. I did the work growing the wheat. I just am too tired to bake the bread today.’ Machine, bake the bread for me. It does, but it’s still you. And more importantly, to the fifth P, it is still valuable. Katie Robbert – 09:56 I think that’s where a lot of marketers and professionals in general—that’s a mental hurdle that they have to get over as well. Then you start to go into the other part of the conversation. You had started by saying people don’t care as long as it’s helpful. So how do we get marketers and professionals who are using Generative AI to not just spin up things that are sort of mediocre? How do we get them to actually create helpful things that are still them? Because that’s still hard work. I feel like we’re sort of at this crossroads with people wanting to use and integrate Generative AI—which is what the course is all about—how to do that. There’s the, ‘I just want the machine to do it for me.’ Katie Robbert – 10:45 Then there’s the, ‘but I still want my stamp on it.’ Those are sometimes conflicting agendas. Christopher S. Penn – 10:54 What do you always ask me, though, all the time in our company, Slack? Did you run this by our ICP—our ideal customer profile? Did you test this against what we know our customers want, what we know their needs are, what we know their pain points are, all the time, for everything. It’s one of the things we call—I call—knowledge blocks. It’s Lego, it’s made of data. Say, ‘Okay, we’ve got an ideal customer profile.’ Hey, I’ve got this course’s ideal customer profile. What do you think about it? Generated by AI says, ‘That’s not a bad idea, but here are your blind spots.’ There’s a specific set of prompts that I would strongly recommend anybody who’s using an ideal customer profile use. They actually come from coding. Christopher S. Penn – 11:37 It goes like this: What’s good, if anything, about my idea? If there’s nothing good, say so. What’s bad about my idea, if anything? If there’s nothing bad, say so. What’s missing from my idea, if anything? If there’s nothing, say so. What’s unnecessary from my idea, if nothing, say so. Those four questions, with an ideal customer profile, with your idea, solve exactly that problem. Katie, is this any good? Because generative AI, if you give it specific directions—say, ‘Tell me what I’m doing wrong here’—it will gladly tell you exactly what you’ve done wrong. Katie Robbert – 12:16 It’s funny you bring that up because we didn’t have this conversation beforehand. You obviously know the stuff that I’m working on, but you haven’t been in the weeds with me. I did that exact process. I put the outline together and then I ran it past our ideal customer profile, actually our mega. We’ve created a mega internal one that has 25 different profiles in it. I ran it past that, and I said, ‘Score it.’ What am I missing? What are the gaps? Is this useful? Is it not? I think the first version got somewhere between a 7 to 9 out of 10. That’s pretty good, but I can do better. What am I missing? What are the gaps? What are the blind spots? Katie Robbert – 12:56 When it pointed out the things I was missing, it was sort of the ‘duh, of course that’s missing.’ Why wouldn’t I put that in there? That’s breathing air to me. When you’re in the weeds, it’s hard to see that. At the same time, using generative AI is having yourself, if you’re prompting it correctly, look over your own shoulder and go, ‘You missed a spot. You missed that there.’ Again, it has to be your work, your expertise. The original AI kit I used 3 years, 52 weeks a year—so whatever, 150 posts to start—plus the work we do at Trust Insights, plus the frameworks, plus this, plus that, on all stuff that has been carried over into the creation of this course. Katie Robbert – 13:49 So when I ask generative AI, I’m really asking myself, what did I forget? What do I always talk about that isn’t in here? What was missing from the first version was governance and change management communication. Because I was so focused on the tactical. Here’s how you do things. I forgot about, But how do you tell people that you’re going to do the thing? It was such an ‘oh my goodness’ moment. How could I possibly forget that? Because I’m human. Christopher S. Penn – 14:24 You’re human, and humans are also focus engines. We are biologically focus engines. We look at a thing: ‘Is that thing going to eat me or not?’ We have a very hard time seeing the big picture, both metaphorically and literally. We especially are super bad at, ‘What don’t we see in the picture?’ What’s not in this picture? We can’t. It’s just one of the hardest things for us to mentally do. Machines are the opposite. Machines, because of things—latent training, knowledge training, database search, grounding, and the data that we provide—are superb at seeing the big picture. Sometimes they really have trouble focusing. ‘Please write in my tone of voice.’ No, by the way. It’s the opposite. Christopher S. Penn – 15:09 So paired together, our focus, our guidance, our management, and the machine’s capability to see the big picture is how you create great outputs. I’m not surprised at all by the process and stuff that I said essentially what you did, because you’re the one who taught it to me. Katie Robbert – 15:27 It’s funny, one of the ways to keep myself in check with using generative AI is I keep going back to what would the ICP say about this? I feel having that tool, having that research already done, is helping me keep the generative AI focused. We also have written out Katie’s writing style. So I can always refer back to what would the ICP say? Is that how Katie would say it? Because I’m Katie, I could be, ‘That’s not how I would say it.’ Let me go ahead and tweak things. Katie Robbert – 16:09 For those of us who have imposter syndrome, or we overthink or we have anxiety about putting stuff out in public because it’s vulnerable, what I found is that these tools, if prompted correctly, using your expertise—because you have it. So use it. Get you past that hurdle of, ‘It’s too hard.’ I can’t do it. I have writer’s block. That was where I was stuck, because I’ve been hearing you and Kelsey and John saying, ‘Write a book, do a course, do whatever.’ Do something. Do anything. For the love of God, do something. Let me do it. Generative AI is getting me over that hurdle where now I’m looking at it, ‘That wasn’t so bad.’ Now I can continue to take it. Katie Robbert – 16:55 I needed that push to start it. For me. For some people, they say, ‘I can write it, and then generative AI can edit it.’ I’m someone who needs that push of the initial: ‘Here’s what I’m thinking: Can you write it out for me, and then I can take it to completion?’ Christopher S. Penn – 17:14 That’s a mental thing. That is a very much a writing thing. Some people are better editors than writers. Some people are better writers than editors. Rare are the people who are good at both. If you are the person who is paralyzed by the blank page, even a crap prompt will give you something to react to. Generative alcohol. A blog post might be marketing. You’ll look at it and go, ‘This is garbage.’ Oh my God. It changed this. Has changed this. Change this. By the time you’re done reacting to it, you did. That, to me, is one of the great benefits of these tools is to: Christopher S. Penn – 17:48 It’s okay if it does a crappy job on the first draft, because if you are a person who’s naturally more of an editor, you can be, ‘Great.’ That is awful. I’m going to go fix that. Katie Robbert – 17:58 As much as I want to say I’m a better writer, I’m actually a better editor. I think that once I saw that in myself as my skill set, then I was able to use the tools more correctly because now I’m going through this 40-page course outline, which is a lot. Now I can edit it because now I actually know what I want, what I don’t want. It’s still my work. Christopher S. Penn – 18:25 That is completely unsurprising to me because if we think about it, there’s a world of difference in skill sets between being a good manager and being a good individual contributor. A good manager is effectively in many ways a good editor, because you’re looking at your team, looking at your people, looking at the output, saying, ‘Let’s fix this. Let’s do this a little bit better. Let’s do this a little less.’ Being good at Generative AI is actually being a good manager. How do I delegate properly? How do I give feedback and things like that? The nice thing is, though, you can say things to Generative AI that would get you fired by HR if you send them to a human. Christopher S. Penn – 19:01 For people who are better managers than individual contributors, of course it makes sense that you would use AI. You would find benefit to having AI do the first draft and saying, ‘Let me manage you. Let me help you get this right.’ Katie Robbert – 19:15 So, Chris, when you think about creating something new with Generative AI, what side of the conversation do you fall on? Do you create something and then have Generative AI refine it, or what does your process look like? Christopher S. Penn – 19:36 I’ve been talking about this for five years, so I’m finally going to do it. This book, Beyond Development Rope, about private social media communities. I’ve mentioned it, we’ve done webinars on it. Guess what I haven’t done? Finish it. So what am I going to do over the holiday weekend? Christopher S. Penn – 19:53 I’m going to get out my voice recorder and I’m going to look at what I’ve done so far because I have 55 pages worth of half-written, various versions that all suck and say, ‘Ask me questions, Generative AI, about my outline. Ask me what I’ve created content for. Ask me what I haven’t created content for. Make me a long list of questions to answer.’ I’m going to get my voice recorded. I’m going to answer all those questions. That will be the raw materials, and then that gets fed back to a tool like Gemini or Claude or ChatGPT. It doesn’t matter. I’m going to say, ‘Great, you got my writing style guide. You’ve got the outline that we agreed upon.’ Reassemble my words using as many of them verbatim as you can. Write the book. Christopher S. Penn – 20:38 That’s exactly what I did with Almost Timeless. I said, ‘Just reassemble my words.’ It was close to 600,000 words of stuff, 18 months of newsletters. All it had to do was copy-paste. That’s really what it is. It’s just a bunch of copy-pasting and a little bit of smoothing together. So I am much more that I will make the raw materials. I have no problem making the raw materials, especially if it’s voice, because I love to talk and then it will clean up my mess. Katie Robbert – 21:11 In terms of process. I now have these high-level outlines for each of the modules and the lessons, and it’s decent detail, but there’s a lot that needs to be edited, and that’s where, again, I’m finding this paralysis of ‘this is a lot of work to do.’ Would you suggest I do something similar to what you’re doing and record voice notes as I’m going through each of the modules and lessons with my thoughts and feedback and what I would say, and then give that back to Generative AI and say, ‘Fix your work.’ Is that a logical next step? Christopher S. Penn – 21:49 I would do that. I would also take everything you’ve done so far and say, ‘Make me a list of 5 questions per module that I need to answer for this module to serve our ICP well.’ Then it will give you the long list. You just print out a sheet of paper and you go, ‘Okay, questions,’ and turn the voice. Question 7: How do I get adoption for people who are resistant to AI? Let me think about this. We can’t just fire them, throw them in a chipper shredder, but we can figure out what their actual fears are and then maybe try to address them. Or let’s just fire them. Katie Robbert – 22:25 So you really do listen to me. Christopher S. Penn – 22:29 That list of questions, if you are stuck at the blank page, ‘Here I can answer questions.’ That’s something you do phenomenally well as a manager. You ask questions and you listen to the answers. So you’ve got questions that it’s given you. Now you can help it provide the answers. Katie Robbert – 22:49 Interesting. I like that because I feel another stigma. We get into with generative AI is that we have to know exactly what the next step is supposed to be in order to use it properly. You have to know what you’re doing. That’s true to a certain extent. It’s more important that you know the subject matter versus how to use the tool in a specific way. Because you can say to the tool, ‘I don’t know what to do next. What should I do?’ But if you don’t have expertise in the topic, it doesn’t matter what it tells you to do, you can’t move forward. That’s another stigma of using generative AI: I have to be an expert in the tool. Katie Robbert – 23:36 It doesn’t matter what I know outside of the tool. Christopher S. Penn – 23:40 One of the things that makes people really uncomfortable is the fact that these tools in two and a half years have gone from face rolling. GPT-4 in January 2023. For those who are listening, I’m showing a chart of the Diamond GPQA score, which is human-level difficult questions and answers that AI engines are asked to answer 2 and a half years later. Gemini 2.5 from April 2025. Now answers above the human PhD range. In 2 and a half years we’ve gone from face-rolling moron that can barely answer anything to better than a PhD at everything properly prompted. So you don’t need to be an expert in the tool? Absolutely not. You can be. What you have to be an expert in is asking good questions and having good ideas. Yes, subject matter expertise sometimes is important. Christopher S. Penn – 24:34 But asking good questions and being a good critical thinker. We had a case the other day. A client said, ‘We’ve got this problem.’ Do you know anything about it? Not a thing. However, I’m really good at asking questions. So what I did was I built a deep research prompt that said, ‘Here’s the problem I’m trying to solve.’ Build me a step-by-step tutorial from this product’s documentation of how to diagnose this problem. It took 20 minutes. It came back with the tutorial, and then I put that back into Gemini and said, ‘We’re going to follow the step-by-step.’ Tell me what to do. I just copied and pasted screenshots. I asked dumb questions, and unlike a human, ‘That’s nice. Let me help you with that.’ Christopher S. Penn – 25:11 When I was done, even though I didn’t know the product at all, I was able to fulfill the full diagnosis and give the client a deliverable that, ‘Great, this solved my problem.’ To your point, you don’t need to be an expert in everything. That’s what AI is for. Be an expert at asking good questions, being an expert at being yourself, and being an expert at having great ideas. Katie Robbert – 25:39 I think that if more people start to think that way, the tools themselves won’t feel so overwhelming and daunting. I can’t keep up with all the changes with generative AI. It’s just a piece of software. When I was having my overthinking moment this morning of, ‘Why am I using generative AI? It’s not me,’ I was also thinking, ‘It’s the same thing as saying, why am I using a CRM when I have a perfectly good Rolodex on my desk?’ Because the CRM is going to automate. It’s going to take out some of the error. Katie Robbert – 26:19 It’s going to—the use cases for the CRM, which is what my manual Rolodex, although it’s fun to flip, doesn’t actually do a whole lot anymore—and it’s hard to maintain. Thinking about generative AI in similar ways—it’s just a tool that’s going to help me do the thing faster—takes a lot of that stigma off of it. Christopher S. Penn – 26:45 If you think about it in business and management terms, can you imagine saying to another CEO, ‘Why do you have employees?’ You should do all by yourself? That’s ridiculous. You hire a problem solver—maybe it’s human, maybe it’s machine—but you hire for it because it solves the problem. You only have 24 hours in a day, and you’d like 16 of them with your dog and your husband. Katie Robbert – 27:12 I think we need to be shedding that stigma and thinking about it in those terms, where it’s just another tool that’s going to help you do your job. If you’re using it to do everything for you and you don’t have that critical thinking and original ideas, then your stuff’s going to be mediocre and you’re going to say, ‘I thought I could do everything.’ That’s a topic for a different day. Christopher S. Penn – 27:34 That is a topic for a different day. But if you are able to think about it as though you were delegating to another person, how would you delegate? What would you have the person challenge you on? Think about it as you say: It’s a digital version of Katie. I think it’s a great way to think about it because you can say, ‘How would I solve this problem?’ We often say when we’re doing our own stuff, ‘How would you treat Trust Insights if it was a client?’ I wouldn’t defer maintenance on our mail server for 3 years. Katie Robbert – 28:13 Whoopsies. Christopher S. Penn – 28:15 It’s exactly the same thing with AI. So that stigma of, I’m feeding, somehow you are getting to bigger, better, faster, cheaper, and better. Probably cheaper than you would without it. Ultimately, if you’re using it well, you are delivering better performance for yourself, for your customers—which is what really matters—and making yourself more valuable and freeing up your time to make more stuff. So, real simple example: this book that I’ve been sitting on for five years, I’m going to crank that out in probably a day and a half of audio recordings. Does that help? I think the book’s useful, so I think it’s going to help people. So I almost have a moral obligation to use AI to get it out into the world so it can help people. That’s a, that’s kind of a re— Christopher S. Penn – 29:04 A reframe to think about. Do you have a moral obligation to help the world with your knowledge? If so, because you’re not willing to use AI, you’re doing the world a disservice. Katie Robbert – 29:19 I don’t know if I have an obligation, but I think it will be helpful to people. I am. I’m looking forward to finishing the course, getting it out the door so that I can start thinking about what’s next. Because oftentimes when we have these big things in front of us, we can’t think about what’s next. So I’m ready to think about what’s next. I’m ready to move on from this. So for me personally, selfishly, using generative AI is going to get me to that ‘what’s next’ faster. Christopher S. Penn – 29:49 Exactly.
