Ep 110 - Answering Listener Emails

Author: Cary Weston June 4, 2026 Duration: 17:51

Episode Summary

In this listener mailbag episode, Cary answers questions from listeners about how to get more practical with ChatGPT. He talks through where to find useful AI training, how to "just talk to it" using his four-part framework, and how someone working alone can use ChatGPT as a brainstorming partner. The big message is simple: don't overthink the prompt. Treat ChatGPT like a capable coworker, give it context, explain what you need, and invite it to ask questions.

3 Key Takeaways

  • Look for AI training that matches your real work. Cary recommends finding resources that are practical, honest, and relevant to your role or industry instead of relying only on broad success stories or random prompt lists.
  • Use Cary's four-part framework when talking to ChatGPT: What are we doing? Why are we doing it? What does success look like? Do you have any questions for me?
  • ChatGPT can be a brainstorming partner, especially if you work alone. Cary suggests explaining your situation, what you miss from having coworkers, and asking ChatGPT how it can help you think through ideas, decisions, or projects.
