Ep 98 - Find Your One Thing

Author: Cary Weston January 27, 2026 Duration: 18:18

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.
