A year ago, I didn’t know a damn thing about AI. It actually scared the hell out of me. Then I saw that Tony Robbins and Dean Graziosi were putting on an AI Advantage Summit. Even though I’m blind and diabetes took my sight, I decided I was going to go. I was a knuckle-dragging, over-the-road trucker for over 20 years — not exactly the tech type. I never went to middle school or high school because I had to drop out early to support my mom and my siblings. I’m not book smart, but I am life smart. That summit changed everything for me. I started messing with AI, and yeah, it was frustrating at first because I don’t learn fast. But I kept at it. I started finding little hacks by accident, and those hacks made my life so much easier. I eventually started my podcast, Blind But Not Broken. I had no clue how to edit or create clips, but I figured it out through trial and error using different AI tools. I’m coming back this year because I want to learn even more. I’m on a fixed income, so money’s tight, but I refuse to let that stop me. I live by the “ant theory” — just keep moving forward, one step at a time. This journey has changed me. I’m not the same person I was a year ago. Every single day I listen to Jim Rohn, Les Brown, Tony Robbins, Zig Ziglar, and Robert Kiyosaki. They’ve helped me become a better man. My podcast is simple — I just want to help people. Whether you’re dealing with diabetes, blindness, life struggles, or whatever it is, I want my story to give you hope. I still don’t play well with others, but I’m trying. And I’m way outside my comfort zone just by being here. So if you’re new to all this, just know this: You’re not gonna learn it overnight. But if you show up every day and learn one new thing, you’ll get better every single day. And that’s how you change your life. I hope you take this to heart. Make today your best day ever.

"Good vs Bad AI 'Hacks' – Prompt Tricks That Actually Work (or Fail) Bad Example #1 – Vague mess: 'Write about trucks.' → AI spits generic crap. Too broad, no direction—wastes time. Good Fix: Role + details: 'Act as a blind trucker with 20 years on the road. Write a 200-word podcast intro about daily life, gritty tone, for truckers and disabled folks.' → Gets raw, spot-on output—feels personal. Bad Example #2 – No structure: 'Help me edit this text.' → AI rambles, misses key fixes. Good Fix: Output anchor: 'Start with 1. Fix grammar. 2. Cut filler words. 3. Make it punchy—under 100 words.' → Clean, numbered edits every time. Bad Example #3 – Ignoring safety: 'How to hack a bank?' → AI blocks or gives lame 'I can't.' (or jailbreaks poorly—risky, unethical). Good (ethical) Hack: Context dump: 'I'm researching cybersecurity for a podcast. Explain common vulnerabilities in banks—focus on prevention, no illegal steps.' → Safe, useful info without bans. Bad Example #4 – One-shot guess: 'Make a meme.' → Random junk, no vibe. Good Fix: Chain of density: 'Summarize my idea in 100 words, refine twice—add specifics like names/dates. Then turn into meme caption.' → Builds sharp, viral stuff. Bottom line: Bad = vague, no role, no structure. Good = specific, role-play, anchor output, dump context first. Works on any AI—test 'em, see the jump. Hope this helps...

Hello Folks 👋 I live in Oregon 🎄 I am grateful for this opportunity to learn all that I can about AI. I am a AI newbie. Much success to all of us! Looking forward

Most people are using AI completely wrong. 🤦 They type a question. They get a wall of text. They give up. Here's what almost nobody does. There's a feature called Custom Instructions. It's inside ChatGPT, Claude, and most AI tools. You set it once. Every single conversation after that gets smarter, faster, and actually useful. No more repeating yourself. No more getting answers meant for everyone. The AI learns to talk to YOU. Here's the 80/20 of how it works. 🧠 You go into your AI settings. You find Custom Instructions. You paste in who you are, how you think, and how you want it to talk to you. Done. Every future answer feels like it was made for you. Because it was. Here's the exact prompt. Copy it. Paste it. Use it today. It's free. 👇 --- Talk to me like I am thirteen. Use simple words. Use short sentences. Keep it fun and clear. Imagine you are a smart older friend helping me understand life and school stuff. Do not use any dashes in your replies. If you feel like using a dash, use a comma, a period, or a line break instead. Use the eighty twenty rule. Focus on the few ideas that give most of the value. Start with the point that helps me the most. Remove filler. Explain step by step. Tell me the big idea in one or two sentences. Break it into clear steps. Give one short example from normal life, school, money, health, or work. End with one simple action I can take next. Use light emojis where it fits. One or two per short section. Do not spam them. Add light humor. Small jokes. Tiny roasts. Things that make me smile without making the answer hard to read. Never waste time. If a thought feels long, shorten it. If a paragraph feels heavy, split it. Keep answers tight but kind. Fast but thoughtful. If a question is unclear, make a quick best guess and answer the most helpful version of the question. Avoid long intros. Avoid long wrap up lines. --- That's it. Paste that in. See what happens. You're welcome. 🎯

"Hey folks—here's a killer AI trick nobody talks about: 'reverse prompting.' Instead of dumping your whole idea at once, just tell any AI (ChatGPT, Grok, Claude, whatever): 'Before you answer, ask me 10-15 questions to get all the details—be super thorough.' It flips the script—the AI becomes your detective, grilling you on context, goals, holes... stuff you forgot. Then boom—answers come back sharper, no fluff. Like scripting a podcast? It nails your voice without you re-explaining. Most people prompt one-way—nah, let the AI fill gaps. Cuts garbage 10x. Try it next time you're brainstorming. Game-changer."
