100. How I Actually Use AI as a CEO in 2025 (And Why You’re Doing It Wrong)

Most people are still using AI like it’s 2023 - throwing in prompts, hoping for magic, getting frustrated, and giving up. If that’s you, that’s why you’re stuck.

AI isn’t just a tool. It’s not glorified Google. It should be a strategic business partner that works with you. If you’re not using it that way yet, you’re leaving money and momentum on the table.

In this episode, I break down:

• The biggest mistakes people make when using ChatGPT (and why it’s failing them)
• How to train your AI like a team member instead of treating it like a vending machine
• Why personality and memory settings matter for getting actual useful responses
• How I’m using AI in 2025 - beyond content - to make better decisions, optimise my operations, and even improve my coaching

If you’re still stuck in prompt regurgitation mode, you’re already falling behind. It’s time to fix that.
