If you’ve ever asked ChatGPT for help and ended up with a long-winded mess full of buzzwords, fluff, or flat-out nonsense, you’re not alone. In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly how to get smarter, faster, and more useful output from ChatGPT using clear, direct prompts that actually work.

In this solo episode, I share 10 practical ways to prompt ChatGPT, and other prompt-driven AI platforms,  so it feels more like a strategic assistant and less like a cringey salesperson. Whether you’re writing a LinkedIn post, drafting video scripts, or summarizing your own podcast transcript, these prompt strategies will save you time and help you get better results.

5 Top Takeaways

🔹Say no BS, no fluff in your prompt—set the tone up front or prepare for a cleanup.

🔹Use ChatGPT to summarize, organize, and label messy transcripts or notes.

🔹Feed it examples that worked well for you to shape tone and structure.

🔹Stack prompts for better results—layer your request, don’t go one-liner.

🔹Ask for a BS check to cut exaggerated, vague, or cringey language from your drafts.
