A Fabulous & Essential Resource!

Cary does a great job of making a complex & intimidating subject, simple and easy to understand. I was afraid of ChatGPT for a long time, Cary is turning that fear into a powerful resource for both my business and personal life. Thanks very much Cary! I appreciate what you’re doing and how you’re doing it!

MBLBCB ,

Great show to learn about ChatGPT

I really look forward to each new episode, and what I’ve picked up from Cary has been invaluable to a large project I’m working on. I’d go to Maine and buy him a beer but it’s far too cold there right now ;)

Being a reader of Chris Brogan’s books, I really enjoyed that episode of the show. Keep going, Cary, I love it.

TheGeorgiaKid ,

Extremely Helpful, Thanks!

Like many, I got excited by Chat GPT and found myself eventually getting a little frustrated after the novelty wore away. I could sense this could be an amazing tool but I couldn’t find a way to really use it to its potential. Then I stumbled upon Cary’s podcast and found I want alone and was thankful someone had created a community and a channel to help navigate Chat GPT and really use it. i’ve used The Experiment’s advice to create really effective in my business and with my staff to create job descriptions, copy, product requirements documents, customer communications and even to help write macros do some analyisis. (I even used it to help find a solution to reduce the stink from my cousin’s feet. ;-) )

Thanks, Cary.
