Well, hey there. Welcome to the ChatGPT experiment. This is the podcast to help you better understand what ChatGPT is, how to use it, and how to get a productive nugget for either your personal or professional needs. My name is Kerry Weston. I am your host and I'm glad you're here. How you doing? How are things going for you either at work or balancing your personal life? It's summertime here in Maine, recording this on the first week of July, and much like many of you that have been listening here in the States, we had our, what, 90 degree heat wave there last week, so not used to that in Maine, right? We don't get high 90s very often, so trying to adjust, but summer is definitely, definitely here. So there may be some weeks here where the podcast doesn't exist during summer, you know, when you travel and get away and you live for sunshine and then you try to get outside. So if you don't see a podcast come up for a week or two, that's why. But I'll try to keep it as current as I can. Busy week for me. Exciting week. First thing I want to share with you is my friend Michael Stelzner, who many of you may know from Social Media Examiner, Social Media World, the conference he's had for a number of years out in San Diego has a podcast called AI Explored. And got to have a good conversation with Mike on the podcast. And that episode dropped this week. And we talk about productivity, specifically how ChatGPT can help decrease that busy middle, right? So the, the three steps in most of the projects that I talk about here is the kind of beginning phase, the imagination phase, the what are we doing, why are we doing it? The outline phase. Then there's the busy middle, where a lot of our mental energy, mental bandwidth and time is spent. And then there's a perfection phase, which is once you get a draft or something done, perfecting it, editing it, making it yours, right? That's that last piece of the puzzle. And more often than not, we spend way too much time in that busy middle and we end up doing what's called perfect enough or good enough, right? And we don't put enough of our expertise or our intelligence or our value into that final stage. So we talked about different ways in which chat TPT can help us kind of shrink, expedite that busy middle so you can have more efficiency, more value, and even more fun, right. In the work that we're doing. So if you haven't checked out, AI Explored, the podcast with Michael Stelzner, do it. There's some amazing. Not just ChatGPT, it's, it's a number of AI tools. And it's been really fun to kind of explore past episodes for me because I'm picking up nuggets as I go. And as you know, I'm trying to be as curious as I can. And so anytime I can learn a nugget, it's a value for me. So time well served. So I would say that there are many podcasts out there that say this is an AI kind of focused, right? Training and focused, but not many of them are what I would consider worth your time each and every time. And Michael, getting to know Michael and talking with him, he's obsessed with making sure that everything that he's doing is providing value and a positive takeaway to those that are spending their time listening or being involved. He's got an AI business society that has some tools. So he's obsessed about making sure that whatever he's doing is adding value to the folks that are listening. He's really trying to be true to the audience that he's building. And I respect that very, very much. So the AI explored podcast is well worth your time if you want to go check it out, especially if you're learning or interested in learning, you know, tools beyond, beyond ChatGPT. So, speaking of ChatGPT, the listeners survey is up for one more week. So the next episode that I put up, I will draw a name out of the folks that have participated. Lots of participation, love it. And I'm going to go through some of my topic and themes here that are, that are resonating and share with you how I came to find that and kind of consolidate that too. But plenty of entries. Appreciate that very much. And next week what I'm going to do is draw a name for a hundred dollar gift card. So I just want to say thank you for the information, thank you for the participation, and thank you for what you're giving because it's valuable to me.
