Speaker 1:

Hey, I'm Carmen and welcome to Mayo Life. That's short for my Outrageous Life, which is exactly the kind of life I get to live since I found the courage to ditch dental hygiene and build a life I'm bonkers about as a myofunctional therapist and entrepreneur. Here you will find all the things myo business and how to build a life that you, too, are bonkers about. I'm very happy you're here. Shall we dive in Well. Hello, friend, and welcome back to the MyoLife podcast. I'm Carmen, the director of bravery at the Myofunctional Therapy Training Academy, and I'm super happy you're here today. We have a great topic.

Speaker 1:

If you already listened to episode 22, then you already know that AI isn't just a trend. It is a straight up game changer for myofunctional therapists, who are tired of spinning their wheels with content. Also, if you haven't listened, maybe hit pause and go back and listen to that one first, because they kind of build on each other. But in that episode we talked about how to use AI to speak directly to your dream client and how to use prompts and start generating you know, instagram captions and emails and real scripts and that kind of stuff that actually connects. But today we're going to turn it up a notch and here's the deal it's not just about what you say, it's also about how you say it. It's also about how you say it. So if you have ever read anything that ChatGPT gave you and thought, like, meh, this sounds like a textbook with a personality disorder, then you're not alone. Today I am showing you how to teach your ChatGPT to write like you. Okay, so this is the episode where you build your content twin. And yes, this is also a sneak peek into the exact method that I will be teaching soon in an upcoming workshop. So you're going to want to stay tuned to the end for that, to make sure you get information.

Speaker 1:

So, are you ready? Let's do it All. Right, the first thing, step one upload your voice. So you're going to start by giving your GPT the raw materials that it needs to sound like you. So that means, like your about me page or some Instagram captions that you felt, really felt like they were genuinely you. They were really raw. You felt really felt like they were genuinely you. They were really raw. Uh, maybe some testimonials from clients. What do they say about you? Or your program descriptions, or emails or blogs that that you have written? So you're going to give it that information. So you're, if you've ever recorded a video or a voice note or something and thought, dang, I really love how that sounds, transcribe it, get it in writing and then you can feed that in.

Speaker 1:

Now, I have talked about this before, but if you're using GPT Plus, then you can paste this into a custom GPT so that it remembers everything. But if you're on the free version, you're going to just want to include it in a prompt every time. So have a document in your Google Drive that just has your GPT prompts. I do have the plus version that I pay for, so I have trained mine so she knows this kind of stuff. Also, you can do some customizing of your GPT in the upper right corner. Now, since I do have the paid version, I'm not a hundred percent sure if it looks the same for free users, but you can look into it. So go up to the upper right corner and you would click on like your profile thing and click on that menu, and then you should see an option that says customize chat GPT and then you'll see things like what should chat GPT call you? Okay, you can type in your name there, or what do you do. This is a great place to make sure that your GPT knows what you do, you know who you help, what you help them with and all of that Okay. And then it says what traits should your GPT have? So do you want chatty or witty, or straight shooting, or encouraging or skeptical or forward thinking, poetic, all of that stuff, or skeptical or forward-thinking, poetic, all of that stuff? And then it has you know anything else that chat GPT should know about you. So I went up and I looked at mine and this is kind of funny, so I'm going to just read it to you of what she says.

Speaker 1:

So it says write with the following style, voice and tone. The writing should be bold, high energy and conversational, like a straight talking, no fluff mentor who's been there, done that and is here to help others do the same. It's a mix of real talk, humor and tough love, with a dash of sass and sarcasm when needed Cracks me up. It says use short, punchy sentences to keep the momentum going and don't be afraid to call out industry nonsense or bust common myths. The tone is direct yet encouraging, with a strong emphasis on empowerment and action. Readers should walk away feeling fired up and ready to take the next step. Sprinkle in rhetorical questions, engaging analogies and relatable storytelling to make complex ideas feel easy. Above all, keep it real. No corporate jargon, no sugarcoating, just honest, practical advice from someone who actually knows what they're talking about.

Speaker 1:

Always refer to Carmen by first name only and ensure that all of her programs include the trademark symbol. Always spell myofunctional therapy correctly. Never use mayo functional therapy. So that cracks me up, because in working to train my GPT, that is what she came up with, and I don't know about you, but I think that it's really spot on. Now there are some times where, um, I question, like I read through something and I'm like, ooh, this is kind of missing the mark. And I can ask her and say, hey, is this, is this written like Carmen would say it? And and say, hey, is this, is this written like Carmen would say it? And and she will quite often say, oh, you're very. Yeah, let's redo that because it doesn't sound exactly. And then what comes up is really something that I would say so super fun, okay.

Speaker 1:

So step one was to upload your voice. Now step two is going to be to define your style. So this is where you're going to give your AI some swagger. You're going to tell it how to write. So here is a style guide that you can steal. So and and again, if you're just creating a document that you could keep in your Google drive, you just put this in there and then copy and paste.

Speaker 1:

This example says write in a bold, high energy, no fluff, straight talking voice like a coach who's been there, done that, and no sugarcoating. Use short, punchy sentences and add a little sass. Keep it real. Okay, so that's like. For my example, you can even say like don't sound clinical, don't sound like a professor, definitely don't sound like a brochure. So this is going to help your GPT start vibing with you. It's going to get to know your tone, not just your information.

Speaker 1:

Okay, and then, uh, step three tell it who you're talking to. So now we're talking like dream clients. Okay, not mine, yours. So this is your who, your easy peasy dream client. So, for example, in my own mile practice, I um work with women. Okay, typically that's mostly who I work with.

Speaker 1:

So my chat knows that my ideal easy peasy dream customer she's 38. She's exhausted and frustrated that she wakes up tired, no matter what. She's Googled every sleep hack. She's exhausted and frustrated that she wakes up tired, no matter what. She's Googled every sleep hack, she's been brushed off by doctors. She just wants to feel like herself again, energized and radiant and in control, and probably not gaining weight. Deep down, she dreams of waking up and feeling amazing. And waking up before her alarm and also hearing people say, like well, you look amazing, you know what's changed. So that's what my ideal customer is, okay, and that's who I want my AI to write for.

Speaker 1:

So if you feed your ideal customer app avatar to your GPT, your ideal customer app avatar to your GPT, uh, you are going to use your easiest client or a real person that you love working with. So if you haven't had clients yet, then think about somebody that you love working with in dental hygiene Okay, and use those characteristics. If you have had clients, then you're going to be doing your easiest client work. Okay, and use those characteristics. If you have had clients, then you're going to be doing your easiest client work, okay, or or just somebody that you love working with. Notice, when I was talking about my who you know, when I said she's 38, exhausted and frustrated, I'm not saying, hey, I work with anybody that has a person, a pulse Okay. I'm not saying women and children and men who snore and, you know, people who have sleep apnea and tongue ties and yeah, all this stuff. Yes, those are going to fall in there as outliers, but my messaging is really going to be dialed down to my easy peasy dream customer, okay. Okay, I want to pop in here some common mistakes to avoid so you don't want to dump in a bunch of pages of random content without context. Okay.

Speaker 1:

Also, make sure your chat knows who your audience is, and it's not going to be perfect on the first try. So train it like you would a new assistant. You'll get there. I have a custom GPT called Polly the Podcast Pro. Yes, I built her and I was arguing with her yesterday because she was just giving me some crap work and I had to really keep working on it to get her trained.

Speaker 1:

Okay, I know it sounds so weird to say that, so here's a great prompt that you can steal so you can say like act as a myofunctional therapist who speaks to exhausted, health conscious moms. Use a bold, encouraging tone. Write a hundred word caption that explains why mouth breathing could be the missing link to better sleep. Make her feel seen, make it sound like me. Okay, boom. Try that and then tweak it. Okay, if there's things that you don't like how your chat responds, if you never want it to call you um, you know first name, last name, then train it to just call you first name or write in the first person. I even have mine trained down to the point of I want each sentence to be delivered in a new um on an, each full sentence to be delivered on a new line for my emails, because I know that's how they look good. Okay, so you're definitely going to not get perfection on the first or 50th try, but you want to keep working with it. All right.

Speaker 1:

So let's recap. You learned how to upload your voice, define your tone and give your GPT your dream client profile so that it writes content that actually sounds like you. If you're feeling fired up, do this next. So go train your AI using one of your best posts, or train it on your ICA or even the style guide from today. Then ask it to write a caption or an email and then tweak it until it feels just right.

Speaker 1:

If you do not have the paid option and you're just using the free option, then you're going to have to input that prompt all the time. So what I do recommend is go into your Google drive, make a document and just keep that there, because you don't have to necessarily copy and paste it out of your document. You should be able to download that as a PDF and then attach it. So whenever I'm starting something, I will say like attached is my um, my knowledge base, or attached is an example of blah, blah, blah, and then I continue on. Okay, so now if this is an area that you're interested in, then you are going to love my GPT workshop that I will be teaching soon.
