Most businesses avoid documenting their Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)… until it hurts. In this episode, I show a 10-minute AI workflow to turn a quick screen recording + commentary into a clear, agent-ready SOP. You’ll see what worked (NotebookLM) and what didn’t (my first ChatGPT upload), plus the exact prompt + guardrails I use so AI sticks to your source and doesn’t invent steps.
You’ll learn
The fast record → transcribe → generate SOP method
Why SOPs = strategic advantage for the 2026 AI agent wave
My ChatGPT vs NotebookLM test (wins + fails and the workaround)
How to write guardrails (“use only the video/transcript”) to stop AI adding steps
Adding acceptance checks & flowcharts so someone (or an agent) can follow it
Future-proofing: document intent + steps, and keep passwords out of SOPs

Tired of spending hours fixing fonts, nudging boxes, and rebuilding slides in PowerPoint? This episode shows a faster, AI-first way to make professional presentations using Gamma, and why pairing it with ChatGPT can cut your deck time from days to minutes.
Perfect for consultants, marketers, founders, teachers, and leaders who make slides every week and want quality without the grind.
In this video, I demo three practical ways to use Gamma:
One-shot prompt – go from blank page to a clear, structured deck in minutes.
From an existing doc – turn a long/boring PDF or report into a tight presentation.
Hybrid workflow – my preferred ChatGPT → Gamma copy-paste approach (outline in ChatGPT, build/design in Gamma).
You’ll see how to:
Generate solid first-draft slides with strong structure (titles, bullets, speaker notes).
Refine quickly with layouts, sections, images, and on-brand themes.
Convert long documents (e.g., policy papers, reports) into clear, audience-friendly visuals.
Decide when to export to PowerPoint, Google Slides, or PDF for hand-off and collaboration.
Avoid common pitfalls (over-generating, messy layouts, generic visuals) with simple prompt tweaks.
Why this matters:
Speed: Ship decks in hours, not days.
Clarity: Start from a structured outline instead of a blank slide.
Quality: Consistent, on-brand looks without pixel-pushing.
Flexibility: Export to your team’s preferred tool when needed.

17:48 How to apply this to your situation
19:08 Sanity check and conclusion
Who this is for:
Consultants & marketers: client decks, proposals, campaign plans.Executives & team leads: strategy updates, board packs, all-hands.
Teachers & trainers: lesson plans, training modules, workshops.
Founders & creators: investor decks, product overviews, webinars.
Tools used:
Gamma (AI-first presentations, documents, and webpages)
ChatGPT (for fast outlining, rewriting, and idea development)
Transparency: I use AI tools in this demo. I recommend adding a small slide note such as “Slides prepared with AI assistance (Gamma/ChatGPT)” for good practice.

If you're using ChatGPT for your business but still getting generic, AI-sounding output, this episode is for you.
I’ll show you three simple documents you can create (in under 10 minutes) that will dramatically improve the quality, consistency, and relevance of ChatGPT’s responses.
Think of it like onboarding a new staff member. Give ChatGPT your:
Tone of Voice – so it sounds like you
Ideal Customer Profile – so it writes for your audience
Business Plan or Goals – so it understands your strategy
I’ll walk you through exactly how to create each one, using prompts you can copy and paste. And to make it real, I demo all three using a fictional brand from a past episode.
Whether you’re running a solo business or managing a team, this is a foundational step for getting real ROI from ChatGPT.
The 3 Promts I used are:
"Please help create a tone of voice guide for [insert brand name] What do you need to know to help with this task?"
Can you help me write an Ideal Customer Profile for [Insert brand]? Ask me any questions you need to help build it
"I'd like to create a one-page business plan for [insert company]. Ask me anything you need to help write it."

I share the step-by-step process I followed to reduce my annual car-insurance premium by $472 in less than 30 minutes.
After walking through the personal example, I outline how AI can also assist with more complex business negotiations, from supplier contracts to six-figure SaaS renewals.
With AI as your partner, there is no excuse to go into any negotiation unprepared.
Turning ChatGPT into a policy analyst – how I asked the model to review my renewal documents and highlight every potential saving.
Building a like-for-like market comparison – the prompt that produced a clear table of alternative quotes from seven insurers.
Preparing a concise negotiation script – the structure ChatGPT suggested for my opening request, follow-up questions, and closing statement.
Implications for comparison websites – why instant, AI-driven analysis may change how we shop for insurance and other services.
Simple privacy safeguards – the setting changes you should make before sharing any personal document with an LLM.
Applying professional negotiation models to larger deals – mapping the process to frameworks such as Harvard Principled Negotiation, the Seven-Elements checklist and the Toulmin Model

In this episode, I dive into OpenAI’s new report, “Identifying and Scaling AI Use Cases” and break its insights down into six practical buckets any business can use:
Content Creation – the starting point for most of us.
Research – lightning-fast competitor intel and market sizing.
Coding – from dev productivity to “vibe-coding” for non-coders.
Data Analysis – an on-demand data analyst in your pocket.
Ideation & Strategy – my favourite AI brainstorm partner.
Automations – the not-so-sexy time-saver that points straight to AI agents.
Along the way, I share how I’m already using each bucket in my consulting work, plus a quick review of Gamma.app, the AI presentation builder I used to create the slides that kept this episode on track.
If you’re wondering where to start with AI, or where to go next, this framework will help you spot the gaps and the opportunities.
“Primitives” explained: why thinking in fundamental tasks (not job titles) makes AI adoption easier.
Real-world examples for marketing, sales, product, HR and finance
Personal stories of the time, money and creative boost I’m already seeing.
Why automations (and soon, autonomous agents) might be the biggest win of all.

This episode is about a moment that felt straight out of a movie: me, on top of a wheelie bin, wire cutters in hand, and ChatGPT talking me through how to fix my garage door.
