Ep 80: Separating AI Discovery From Execution


Listen Later

In Episode 80 of Enterprising Minds, Dave breaks down one of the most useful shifts he has made in working with AI: separating discovery from execution.

Instead of jumping straight to “create this thing,” Dave walks through how to use AI to build better context first. He shares how he created an AI project manager for work, used voice memos to capture project details, developed personal brand standards, and applied lessons from creative writing to make AI outputs more aligned with personal taste, voice, and intent.

This episode is especially useful for anyone who feels overwhelmed by AI tools or frustrated that the outputs sound too generic. The key takeaway: better AI results come from better setup, clearer context, and more deliberate prompting.
