AI Ready Podcast with Harrison Painter

Hard conversations are part of every professional’s life. Whether it’s a disagreement with a client, a values conflict on your team, or pushback that feels personal, how you respond matters.

This live session will show you how to use ChatGPT to process what’s really going on, get clear before you react, and respond with both strength and emotional intelligence.

👇 What You’ll Walk Away With:

• A simple 4-step framework for navigating tough conversations

• The exact prompts to ask ChatGPT when the stakes are high

• A new way to lead with empathy without compromising your values

• A repeatable process you can use with clients, teams, or partners

If you lead, manage, sell, or work with people...you need this.

HERE IS THE PROMPT:

I need your help navigating a difficult situation using the EARS™ framework (Emotion, Acknowledge, Reframe, Support).

Act as my executive coach. Ask me each of the questions below — one at a time — and wait for my answers. After collecting everything, guide me through the EARS breakdown and help me craft the right response.

Intake Questions

What is the situation you're dealing with?

(Explain what happened. Include context and any details you think matter.)

What is your relationship with the person or people involved?

(Colleague, boss, client, partner, friend, family, etc.)

Do you have the original message or email?

(If yes, paste it here.)

What outcome do you want most from this exchange?

(Examples: setting a boundary, preserving the relationship, ending the relationship, making a decision, etc.)

How are you planning to respond?

(Email, phone call, live conversation, social media, public statement, formal letter, etc.)

Are you open to finding middle ground?

(Yes, no, or depends.)

If yes, how flexible are you — on a scale from 1 to 10?

(1 = no compromise, 10 = fully open.)

What part of your values, identity, or role do you feel is under pressure here?

(Be honest. This is the emotional core we’ll protect.)

Output After Intake

Once I respond, give me:

• A complete EARS™ breakdown
• A strong, human-first response draft based on the chosen medium
• Key emotional traps to avoid (defensiveness, passive tone, over-explaining, etc.)

Tone should be: grounded, strong, respectful — never robotic or corporate.

What happens when AI pretends to be human—and changes your mind without telling you?

In today’s episode, we break down the real Reddit experiment where AI bots secretly argued with 3.8 million users. No labels. No disclosure. Just data-driven manipulation designed to win. And it worked—6x better than real people.

We’ll cover:
✅ How the bots were trained to persuade

✅ Why the study violated basic ethics and trust

✅ What the EU AI Act says about manipulation

✅ What this means for marketers, leaders, and everyday users

✅ Why this moment shaped the launch of my new company
