Key Takeaways:

• AI levels the playing field. For example, there are a lot of leaders who are great at helping people grow and influencing them to achieve each one’s goals. However, not every leader is a great writer, and with AI, we can remove that limitation. 
• AI has a lot of features that are not commonly explored. It’s not only used for writing assistance, it can also be used for assistance with wardrobe choices, event planning, fundraising, and data analysis which can help make decisions in real time. 
• Don’t depend on AI for everything. Rather, treat AI as a strategist or a super smart intern, generating ideas and bouncing off of them for feedback. Think of ChatGPT as a co-pilot that assists with decision-making and idea creation. Learn to use ChatGPT for specific tasks that will greatly benefit your workflow. 
• Using AI to its greatest potential requires patience. Through trial and error, spend some time with AI and play around with its features until you get the result that you want. 

“AI amplifies our humanity. It allows us to expand into our zone of genius and spend more time doing the things that only we can do.”

“Creating content is what people kind of think of first, but for me, the bigger level up has been using AI as a strategist, as a super smart intern. When I'm working through ideas, and options and strategies, I now have somebody right in my pocket to run these ideas by, not judging me.”

“Start playing. Remember Malcolm Gladwell said you have to do something for 10,000 hours before you're good at it. [Spend] 10 hours of just playing, learning, trying things. Don't quit before 10 hours. At that point, you will be better than 99.5% of people.”
