In this first episode of my new series, "How I AI," I’m pulling back the curtain on my daily workflow as a Digital Marketing Strategist for a $25M youth homelessness nonprofit in Austin, Texas. After 15 years in the social impact sector and 3 years consulting via Grow That Impact, I’m showing you the exact "housekeeping" steps I take to turn an AI into a high-level thinking partner.
In this video, you’ll learn:
- The Switch: Why I moved from being a ChatGPT power user to using Claude as my primary co-pilot.
- Custom Instructions: How to set up Claude to stop "buttering you up" and start challenging your arguments with factual data.
- The Migration: My "genius" hack for moving your entire project history from ChatGPT/Gemini into Claude using Markdown files.
- Claude in Chrome: Why this specific extension is a game-changer for real-time research and browsing.
- Think vs. Do: My philosophy on why you should use AI to ideate and strategize, not just to write banal emails.
If you’re working in a nonprofit or social impact org, this series is designed to help you do more with the limited time you have.
