It’s everywhere, and it is completely misleading. The lie is that you can just plug in AI and it is going to run your work or your entire business. I work as a Gen AI engineer. I build AI applications, automations, and agent based solutions. And I use AI everywhere I can. I use it to research, to learn faster, to brainstorm, to test ideas, to get clarity on how things should work. It helps me move quicker and makes parts of my job easier. But it is not me plugging in AI and expecting it to run everything on its own. My real process starts with me figuring out the goal. What we need to do, why we need to do it, and how it should work. It can feel slow sometimes, and there is a lot of trial and error along the way. Only after I understand the direction, I use AI to streamline it or automate it. AI helps me. AI accelerates me. AI supports the work I do. But it never replaces the part where I need to think through the path myself first.

Use this ChatGPT prompt to help you eliminate noise & distractions, so you can focus on what's most important to achieving your goal: “I’m stuck at the starting line. Based on everything you know about me… acting as my brutally honest entrepreneur coach, ask me questions one at a time, until you can successfully diagnose the ONE mindset block most likely holding me back. Then reframe it. Finally, compress my 90-day plan into a 2-week 'proof sprint' that proves I can succeed and helps me create a bias for action.” 🚀🚀

Hello, everyone! It has been so much fun being a part of this community, and I’ve really enjoyed taking my AI skills to the next level. I'm excited to share my recent win with you all. Lately, I’ve been feeling incredibly overwhelmed and stuck, with a desperate need to find a job that aligns with my skills and goals. During the summer, I used AI to help identify my strengths and explore roles that would fit them. However, I’ve been struggling with impostor syndrome. Last night, I poured my soul into ChatGPT, giving it as much context as I could, with an overview of my work experience, my constraints, and challenges. I instructed it to do the following: 1) Organize my priorities and provide a list of viable options to focus on, while also creating a detailed timeline and action plan for me; 2) Keep asking me follow-up questions until it was confident it delivered the best strategies for me. Then, I used it as a challenge partner to help me overcome my impostor syndrome and prove myself wrong when I doubted the results it gave me. The results were absolutely amazing! Thank you to this wonderful community for being so supportive and inspiring. I appreciate you all.

We just had the privilege of letting our partners over at Feeding America know that we will have another 2,000,000 meals ready to send their way in November. We just donated 1,400,000 meals in October and they just informed us that in the last few years we are now at 14,173,890 MILLION MEALS DONATED! It wouldn't be possible without all of you! 😃

One of the biggest unlocks for me hasn’t just been using AI… it’s been teaching AI how I learn. We’re living in a time where there’s infinite information, but if you don’t understand your own learning style, you’ll drown in it instead of growing from it. Here’s what I did that changed everything: 🔹 I asked ChatGPT to interview me about how I learn best — one question at a time 🔹 I answered casually, stream-of-consciousness style (even using voice-to-text on my phone) 🔹 It analyzed my patterns: what helps things “click,” where I get stuck, what formats work for me, etc. 🔹 Then it began explaining things in my learning language — whether that means visuals, analogies, step-by-step, big-picture first, etc. Now I can learn complex topics as easily as simple ones — because the AI is teaching me the way my brain actually absorbs information. Bonus tip: once you’ve learned something, ask AI to show you the gaps in your understanding or what you may be assuming without realizing it. That’s where the real growth happens. If you’re not using AI as a learning accelerator, you’re not even scratching the surface of what’s possible.
