600: (Solo) How Founders Should Actually Use AI (Without Getting Lost)
AI is the biggest shift since the internet—and if you’re not using it daily as a founder, you’re falling behind.
In this episode, I break down exactly how I use AI to think clearer, execute faster, and lead better—without being technical.
From treating AI as a true thinking partner to training it like a team member, I’ll show you the practical workflows, tools, and prompts that have meaningfully increased my output and product velocity.
Here’s what you’ll take away:
• How to use AI as a thinking partner for email drafts, decks, research, & data synthesis
• The prompt method: ask AI to write the prompt for the outcome you want (then refine)
• Why Claude/ChatGPT for writing, Gamma for decks, NotebookLM for knowledge mining
• How to train AI like a team member (voice rules, stories, frameworks, formats)
• Speed > everything: real example of mapping and shipping a new product faster with AI
• Guardrails: keep strategy owned by you, verify facts, and avoid over-automation traps
If you put even one of these workflows in place this week, you’ll move faster on content, decisions, and product—without adding headcount.
This is a brand new solo series I’m testing, and I’d love your feedback. Email me directly at [email protected] — I read every reply. Hope you enjoy it.
