Start here: your unfair AI advantage

Hey, welcome in,

If you’re reading this, you either found me on Instagram or someone forwarded it to you. Either way, glad you’re here. This is the first issue, so let me tell you exactly what you signed up for: short emails, real AI you can use the same day, and zero hype. If your mom couldn’t use it, I’m not going to send it.

Let’s get into it.

IN THIS EMAIL

» Why most people are using AI completely wrong » The 3 habits that put you ahead of 99% of people » One prompt you can steal today

🤯 The thing nobody tells you about AI

Most people open ChatGPT, type one lazy sentence, get a mediocre answer, and conclude “AI is overhated.” That’s like test-driving a car in first gear and saying it’s slow.

The gap between people who get magic out of AI and people who get garbage isn’t the tool. It’s how they talk to it. Same model, completely different results, and the difference is a few habits you can copy in five minutes.

🧠 The 3 habits that actually matter

1. Give it a role. Don’t ask “write me an email.” Say “you’re a senior copywriter who’s written for 7-figure brands, write me an email.” You’re telling the model which version of itself to be.

2. Give it your context. The model can’t read your mind. Paste the messy details, who it’s for, what you’ve tried, what tone you want. More context in, better answer out. Every time.

3. Make it ask you questions first. End your prompt with “ask me anything you need before you start.” Suddenly it interviews you instead of guessing. This one change fixes 80% of bad outputs.

That’s it. Do those three things and you’re already ahead of almost everyone.

🔒 Steal this prompt today

Paste this into ChatGPT or Claude the next time you’re stuck on a decision:

Act as three advisors who disagree with each other, an optimist, a skeptic, and a realist. Each gives me their honest take on [my situation]. Then summarize what they agree on and what I should actually do.

It pressure-tests your thinking instead of just agreeing with you. Try it on something real you’re sitting on right now.

That’s the whole first issue. Keep it simple, use one thing from this email today, and I’ll see you in the next one.
