00:00:00.080
believe it or not you're not behind on ai yet because the truth is most people still don't
00:00:06.400
understand how to use it well by just watching this video you'll know more about ai than 90
00:00:11.360
of the people out there and if you make it all the way till the end you'll be in the top one
00:00:15.840
percent of all ai users i've personally tested thousands of ai prompts across every major
00:00:21.520
platform built dozens of custom ai tools for my own companies and helped hundreds of founders
00:00:26.000
turn AI into their most profitable team member. So today, I'm going to show you how AI works,
00:00:31.960
the fundamentals you need to use it, how to master it, and how to future-proof yourself
00:00:36.860
so AI makes you a weapon instead of replacing you, starting with how it works.
00:00:41.960
Essentially, you've got all the world's information. I'm talking videos, podcasts,
00:00:46.280
documents, Reddit threads, and then AI analyzed it, and then it did this mathematical equation.
00:00:54.740
And then it tries to predict the most logical next token
00:00:59.320
It's just like if you say twinkle, twinkle, little,
00:01:05.520
that come out of any chat AI have a lot of em dashes.
00:01:13.200
and it's trying to replicate what it's seen us create.
00:01:16.240
And this is why if you give it really good information,
00:01:20.740
because it can use all that input to build context it's kind of like if somebody tells you
00:01:26.020
all the details of a story and then ask you a specific question you're more likely going to get
00:01:30.340
it right because you have all the details of the story that's what ai needs to give you the best
00:01:35.060
outputs and that's where people fall short the truth is ai isn't magic it's just pattern
00:01:40.500
recognition with the fancy suit on so now that we've covered how ai works behind the scenes we
00:01:45.700
need to talk about the fundamentals and how you need to use it the right way starting with the
00:01:50.340
right way to prompt the more information you give it aka the prompt the better the output will look
00:01:56.500
did you know you can give it like two three books worth of information about your question
00:02:01.380
before it even gives you an answer most people are giving it a text message it's giving it nothing
00:02:07.140
and then you're expecting it to do magic a few months ago i was working with a founder that
00:02:11.140
built this really cool ai technology and he was working on the marketing and he was having a
00:02:15.380
really hard time getting the marketing to actually communicate what his product did he spent like
00:02:20.660
three weeks on it iterating going back and forth trying to get the messaging right trying to get
00:02:24.980
the headline right trying to get the copyright all i did was sit down and i gave it the format about
00:02:30.180
to teach you and i hit enter and within 12 seconds it outputted the perfect plan structure and
00:02:36.740
strategy for him to get his customers to buy it took less than 15 minutes to implement on his
00:02:42.020
website and all of a sudden he's converting that traffic into customers what did i do different
00:02:47.060
here's how it works the first thing is the role you got to tell it who to be like it's kind of
00:02:52.100
like act like a professional dancer act like a killer musician so all i did when i was helping
00:02:57.700
my buddy to fix his prompt it said act like a world-class marketing strategist that focuses
00:03:02.980
on conversion for software what that does is it takes all the friggin information in the world
00:03:09.620
that's all been cataloged and structured and it says okay out of all of this only focus on this
00:03:14.420
piece and then with that it can then give you an answer that's very specific if not it just looks
00:03:20.500
watered down the second part to your prompt is the context i want you to give it all the background
00:03:25.780
information if you have marketing documents you have transcripts from a call you have any kind of
00:03:32.180
standard specification the more you can give it it can use that in its little brain for that prompt
00:03:38.580
to guide it in its output the third is the command you have to be very specific whatever you want it
00:03:44.980
to do tell it be very explicit i always say make the implicit explicit when we're prompting and
00:03:52.020
the last and the fourth is the format oftentimes for me i don't want these long lengthy outputs
00:03:58.100
i want bulleted lists i want it short and concise i want it in a table format i want it in a pdf
00:04:04.500
the format is how you take that output and then use it in other tools you might want to put it
00:04:09.540
in a csv so that you can import that into another tool but if you don't tell it that it's not going
00:04:14.660
to know what format you want if you do those things you will notice a complete difference
00:04:20.020
in the output i'll even go as nerdy in the format where i'll say here's the format then give it a
00:04:26.980
template to follow then hit enter and it can't go outside of those parameters the truth is is
00:04:32.900
the quality of your output will never exceed the quality of the input to your prompt so now you
00:04:38.260
know how to structure your prompt but there's this other crucial step that if you don't know you
00:04:43.300
can't learn ai properly which is you got to pick one tool and don't switch the amount of people
00:04:49.220
that come to me and they're like hey i'm using chat gpt and claude and gemini and grok and i'm
00:04:54.180
like show me your prompts and it's crayola it's simple they haven't mastered the tool learning ai
00:05:00.500
is like learning an instrument if you tried to learn a little bit about the piano and the guitar
00:05:04.740
the drums all at once you wouldn't be really good but if you decided to pick one and you decided to
00:05:09.380
be a master at it the others become way easy after it because you understand music you understand
00:05:14.740
tones you understand how to read sheet music same thing with ai tools pick one and master it before
00:05:20.100
you switch once you understand how one works the others are way easier to pick up and i will be
00:05:25.460
honest the people that keep switching tools all the time i just call it procrastination masters
00:05:31.220
go deep before they go wide so know the tools know which one's right for you and go deep on it
00:05:36.020
so i've already mentioned the top three okay we've got claude gemini and shadgbt i'm gonna walk you
00:05:41.620
through each one and tell you exactly which one does what best so that you can pick the right one
00:05:46.740
for your current use case so for example if you do a lot of writing creative work deep thinking
00:05:52.820
code well claude's got everybody beat there and it could change in a few months but for right now
00:05:57.460
i'm telling you claude's the one the other one if you do a lot of research you need up-to-date
00:06:01.300
information you live inside of google tools you can't go wrong with gemini it is an incredible
00:06:06.740
language model and it's the one a lot of people that are like google specific are using gpt is a
00:06:11.540
great one it's the first one to get really popular it's got a lot of integrations can't go wrong with
00:06:16.020
it and before you start hammering me in the comments i understand there's a bunch of others
00:06:26.480
So don't tell me about Grok and all these Chinese models.
1.00
00:06:30.420
I'm just telling it for most people that are like,
00:06:32.820
I'm ready to be masterful at this so I can become a weapon.
00:06:37.620
And by the way, if you choose to go towards ChatGPT,
00:06:43.640
that goes through everything to make you a pro.
00:06:53.040
that is what I use in my companies to implement AI.
00:06:58.220
Just find me on Instagram and DM me AI business.
00:07:05.420
and you feel like you've got everything covered so far,
00:07:08.180
the cool part, you're in the top 10% of AI users.
00:07:13.000
what I'm about to teach you, you'll be in the top 1%.
00:07:20.900
This is where we get a little advanced, but it's fun.
00:07:44.440
and then you let AI figure out the best way to get there.
00:07:47.440
instead of doing all the work yourself which you're doing today you let ai do the heavy lifting
00:07:52.320
the way i like to think about it is push is kind of like when you used to get directions from a
00:07:56.880
friend when they're like come to my house come over and then they tell you you got to turn left
00:08:00.800
at the house and then right at the church and then you'll see a red mailbox that's how most
00:08:05.760
people prompt poll is like gps where you let the ai direct you based on the destination you've given
00:08:12.240
it so here's how you use poll prompting it's super cool first you give it the role in the context
00:08:16.720
like you normally would it needs to know kind of who it should act like and what's the information
00:08:21.040
about the scenario second is you give it the outcome based objective right this is where you
00:08:25.360
tell it what you need so you might say i need a sequence that converts cold leads into booked
00:08:29.600
calls right very specific it's like the destination third you say this ask me all the questions you
00:08:36.240
need for you to create this for me and then give it back to me in and then you can say the format
00:08:41.200
you might say pdf or a table then just answer all the questions my little trick there is i use the
00:08:46.480
voice mode where i can just hit that little microphone and then answer because they might
00:08:49.840
give you seven questions and i don't want to type that much but you give it all the answers and then
00:08:54.080
let ai do the work watch it cook now you might say hey i need to refine this ask me more questions
00:09:00.160
to make it more relevant and it'll keep refining so you keep essentially using that's why it's
00:09:04.640
called a pull method you keep having it pull from you exactly what you need and let it go find the
00:09:10.560
solutions this is how software programmers have been doing it for a while okay most coders are
00:09:15.520
are sitting there and we're coding through outcomes.
00:09:19.540
That's now becoming the mainstream for how you can prompt.
00:09:29.920
So number five, master prompts for every role in your life.
00:09:35.740
it's kind of like a manual about a part of your life.
00:09:44.880
would be in that manual well i would assume and they would have everything about me my life the
00:09:49.280
people in my life how things are structured what we sell when you have these master prompts and
00:09:54.720
you use it to give it to the ai because you might switch to different ones then it'll give you better
00:10:00.000
answers because right now if you don't it's not personalized to you it's just giving you generic
00:10:05.200
auto completion instead of something that is laser focused to your exact situation and remember
00:10:10.800
earlier when i talked about giving it context this is the context and if you do it once you
00:10:16.160
never have to do it again and it makes prompting so much easier and faster every team member in
00:10:21.520
all my companies has to have a master prompt they have to show it to me i got to make sure
00:10:26.240
it's complete i just can't imagine that they're efficient chatting with ai all day long and it
00:10:31.920
giving great answers if it doesn't have that so now let's create one for yourself the first thing
00:10:36.560
is we're going to practice pull prompting you can say i want to create a master prompt for my role
00:10:41.760
as whatever your role is in life you know father husband vp of marketing and ask me all the
00:10:47.360
questions you need to create it for me see how we're going to have it pull from me now it's going
00:10:51.680
to give you all these questions so they can create this document and that's where you use the voice
00:10:56.240
to text feature and just answer each one conversationally and third once ai gives you
00:11:01.520
your master prompt go through it and just refine anything that doesn't feel right and you can
00:11:05.840
literally just talk to it and say like update this add this you're missing that you didn't understand
00:11:10.320
this properly and it'll literally update the whole thing for you the last part is to save it as a pdf
00:11:15.840
and i like to just call the master prompt and then the role name so i have them on my hard drive and
00:11:20.160
that way when i'm using different ai tools i can always upload it so that it has perfect context
00:11:25.600
on my situation in life the truth is if ai sounds like a stranger and anybody could have got that
00:11:30.560
output it's because you haven't introduced yourself the master prompt is how you say
00:11:35.280
hello ai this is who i am the cool part is like i said you can use it in other tools
00:11:40.160
i personally spend a lot of time in a tool called manis which lets you create agentic workflows and
00:11:46.000
when i first loaded up the tool it didn't know anything about me so i use my master prompt to
00:11:50.560
give it all the context so that it could do outputs that were very personalized if i had to like
00:11:55.440
play with it and tweak it and talk to it it would have just took me a long time this gets an ai
00:12:07.220
But what if you're like trying to get an output
00:12:09.200
and you like the output and you wanna like repeat it
00:12:13.520
This is where you need the next tool to master AI.
00:12:21.180
and it has all the structure and you have the ingredients,
00:12:32.160
and eventually it gets an output that you're like,
00:12:36.360
Why did it take me 17 minutes to get to that output?
00:12:41.260
Understanding how to create system prompts is the future.
00:12:51.220
I want you to create a system prompt that does X,
00:13:09.020
It's literally you code system prompts with words.
00:13:13.400
then you copy that system prompt into a custom GPT
00:13:19.180
And then you've got a system that works for you on repeat
00:13:22.580
without ever having to give it instructions ever again.
00:13:29.720
I use it to create systems for my team to follow
00:13:34.160
look, just give it the topic and it'll do something for us.
00:13:38.900
and just make it really simple for everybody else to use.
00:13:50.660
All the complex system prompts from the top AI tools,
00:13:56.600
and 20 plus others were actually collected and put together.
00:14:01.900
what the world's best system prompts could look like,
00:14:05.440
just search system prompts and models of AI tools
00:14:07.840
on GitHub, on Google, and you will find the link
00:14:12.320
to understand how powerful these can be created
00:14:18.380
like build mobile apps or reconcile financial details.
00:14:26.100
That's the truth. But here's the thing. AI is evolving fast. I'm talking every day. And if you
00:14:31.940
want to stay ahead, you need to make sure AI will never replace you, which takes us to our last
00:14:36.780
point, but the most important one, which is future proofing yourself, which comes down to taste,
00:14:42.420
vision, and care. There are three things that when I sat back and I asked myself, like, what are the
00:14:47.520
areas of human existence of life that I feel is going to be really hard to disrupt? I feel like
00:14:52.760
things like our taste for what is great and our vision for things that don't exist that should
00:14:58.840
or caring about other people. What a crazy idea. I really don't think that AI is going to be able
00:15:03.340
to do that well. Simulate it, maybe, but I'm talking heartfelt, empathetic conversations.
00:15:09.020
That takes you. Machines can optimize what already exists, but humans imagine what doesn't.
00:15:14.800
First thing is taste. You got to immerse yourself in excellence. I think of it like standing
00:15:19.100
underneath a waterfall and allowing amazing world-class things to be poured over me so that
00:15:25.060
I might have the possibility of picking stuff up. So if you're like massively interested in music,
00:15:31.600
go subscribe and use your social media to learn music. If it's code software, I want you to use
00:15:37.540
your feed to feed your mind. Go and follow all the top people. Go subscribe to the newsletters.
00:15:42.200
The more you consume the best in the world and you get to understand what greatness looks like,
00:15:47.100
the better you build your taste. The second is vision. Schedule thinking blocks so that you can
00:15:52.180
sit down and think about the future. Visualize concepts because your brain doesn't think in
00:15:56.300
words. I don't know if you know this, but like if I say pink elephant, you just saw it. You didn't
00:16:00.600
have the words written down in your mind. So even just doodling, planning, exploring, reading books
00:16:06.700
that'll expand your horizon, that gives you a sense of what's possible or maybe how the world
00:16:11.480
should be shaped around you. And that is your job to shape the AI to help you with the vision.
00:16:20.160
doing all the boring and dirty and dangerous work for us
00:16:34.680
Then you have the time to collaborate with people authentically.
00:16:38.020
Start thinking about ways you can get out in the world
00:16:44.880
I really think that AI has enabled us to have this deep desire to be around other people.
00:16:49.880
It's why you see events having record number of people showing up and sold out in no time
00:16:56.580
Do these three things and AI will become your weapon instead of your replacement.
00:17:05.620
Most small businesses haven't even started using AI in a meaningful way.
00:17:10.220
So just by watching this video, you're already ahead of the game.
00:17:21.300
just 10 minutes of action beats 10 hours of tutorials.
00:17:24.580
So just leave me a comment and leave that commitment below.
00:17:36.200
and I'll send you my AI implementation playbook
00:17:40.480
Like I mentioned, if you want the full chat GPT masterclass
00:17:46.340
just click here and I'll see you on the other side.
