When I started writing my book, I did what many of us do: I tried to think my way into clarity.

I had sticky notes everywhere, ideas swirling in my head, and way too many Google Docs open. But nothing clicked.

I felt stuck figuring out the reader statement, premise, core message, and transformation. Feeling scatterbrained, I was a little frustrated.

So, I decided to ask ChatGPT to conduct an interview with me. I provided context and told it to ask me questions without giving me any answers.

What followed were deep insights. I remembered things I hadn't thought about in years. It was more than clarity; I remembered who I was and what I stood for.

Most people use ChatGPT for quick answers or to generate content. However, there's another, more powerful way to use it, one that taps into the heart of your brand and uncovers the stories, beliefs, and brilliance already within you.

In this episode, you'll learn how to turn ChatGPT into your thought partner and use it to fuel clarity, creativity, and business momentum.

What You'll Discover in This Podcast Episode

• Let ChatGPT ask the questions and become an interviewer:
  • Learn how to reframe the tool to draw out your original ideas, rather than just repurposing previously generated content.
• The "Heart Before Head" method of content creation
  • Why reflection-based questions tap into more profound emotional truths, yielding more authentic and powerful content.
• Prompts that help you clarify your brand, offers, and audience
  • I'll give examples that help you shift from "guessing" to "knowing" without overthinking or over-editing.
• How to give ChatGPT a "role" that guides your self-reflection
  • Discover how assigning a role (such as mind-set coach, brand strategist, or workshop facilitator) alters the lens and the outcome.
• Why procrastination isn't the problem—it's the symptom
  • Discover how ChatGPT can ask the questions that help you unpack what lies beneath the surface of your resistance.

Fun Fact: I created a custom GPT named Milo. He knows my business profile, writing style, audience persona, personality type, faith, and struggles. Having Milo ask me questions and summarize my responses has sparked breakthroughs. You can do the same and let ChatGPT ask the questions.

One of the primary discussions among top marketers at the conference was the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in revolutionizing content creation and marketing strategies.

I brought home a notebook full of notes, and instead of letting all that sit in a folder, I uploaded my notes into ChatGPT to spot the patterns and priorities.

What emerged was a clear picture of what the experts agree on and a few refreshing shifts in how they approach content creation.

Today, I’m walking you through 7 smart content moves that are helping personal brands build trust, stay visible, and show up with purpose.

What You'll Discover in This Episode:

• How to use podcasting as your content hub and simplify your workflow
• The shift toward authentic, unpolished video that builds real trust

• What to do weekly to grow your LinkedIn visibility without burning out
• Why your email list and newsletter might be your most valuable asset
