In this AI marketing podcast episode, Dan Sanchez walks through the September 2025 overhaul of ChatGPT Projects and shows how to use folders, files, and per‑project instructions to turn ChatGPT into a reliable second brain. You’ll learn when to use “Project‑only” memory (goodbye cross‑project bleed), how to set up instruction docs, and real‑world ways to run content, client, and personal workflows faster—plus a peek at my LinkedIn Post Project that turns one idea into three posts.
