In this episodeI dig into OpenAI’s quiet announcement that ads are officially coming to ChatGPT along with the U.S. rollout of the Go tier. I talk through what the ads will actually look like, who’s going to see them, and why this move feels less surprising than it does revealing. We get into the money math behind “free” tools, the trust implications of sponsored answers, and what this shift could mean for access as AI continues to get carved up into tiers.

In this episode I dig into why I think folks have such strong feelings about AI, and why so many seem to have chosen AI as the hill to die on. This conversation looks less at the technology itself and more at what AI has come to represent: forced adoption, corporate overreach, environmental impact, and the broader enshittification of everything.

In this episode we talk about what vibe coding actually is, where the term came from, and why it’s showing up everywhere right now. I break down how vibe coding differs from AI-assisted coding, why the distinction matters, and what’s exciting and risky about both. The goal is to help you understand what’s real, what’s hype, and how to approach this space with curiosity instead of confusion.

Let’s get curious about Google Notebook LM! I walk through what it is, how it works, what makes it different from ChatGPT, and how I’ve personally used it to create mind maps, slide decks, and one-sheets. We also talk about learning styles, hallucinations, citations, pricing, and why this tool feels especially aligned with how I believe AI should be used.

In this episode I break down whether it’s actually worth paying for ChatGPT or sticking with the free tier. I walk through the concrete differences between free and Plus, talk honestly about what matters and what doesn’t, and explain why “worth it” is always subjective. This episode is less about convincing you and more about giving you enough clarity to decide for yourself.

In this episode, I share how a small, easily ignored setting completely changed ChatGPT’s responses…in a good way. I discuss the personalization settings, including base tone, custom instructions, memory, and advanced settings, and go into detail about how “programming” ChatGPT how to respond, immediately made for a WAY better user experience.

Along the way I get into the environmental realities, the big emotions that keep popping up around AI, and how humans are always the biggest variable in any prediction.

In this episode I break down how ChatGPT can support the process of writing and designing your sales pages.
