Are you feeling overwhelmed by the constant influx of new AI tools and unsure about how to use them effectively for your podcast? Today, Chris Mercer and I break down the real game changer. It’s not about which tool you use–it’s about shifting how you think about AI and getting crystal clear on the results you want.

We dive deep into the strategy behind working with AI, not just telling it what to do, but partnering with it to do the heavy lifting–from research to crafting compelling podcast topics and questions.

If you want to stop chasing shiny tools and start mastering AI to work smarter, not harder, this episode will give you the blueprint to get started. Don’t miss the link to the “ping pong prompting” method, the secret sauce to making AI work for you and your team.
