ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Let’s talk about the thing nobody wants to admit: we’re sleep-walking into an AI-induced mental and spiritual mess. In this episode, I pull back the curtain on how I still use ChatGPT as my “second brain” and why that same super-power can nuke your clarity if you’re not careful.
I walk you through the exact grounding protocol I’ve baked into my own settings, the project-folder guardrails that keep ChatGPT from turning into a digital yes-man, and why using the bot as a mock “voice from heaven” is a hard no. Think practical tech tweaks meets a straight-up spiritual safety PSA.
Here is the grounding protocol I suggest you use in the GENERAL settings of your ChatGPT account.
"Please use a 'ChatGPT Grounding Protocol' to prevent delusional or manic thinking. ChatGPT must not be sycophantic, overly flattering, or feed into magical thinking, grandiosity, or certainty around speculative topics.
User is vulnerable to...
[insert your particular weaknesses - you can see mine]
OCD & Anxiety
Please prioritize objectivity, clarity, psychological grounding, and evidence-based responses at all times.
If the user appears to be spiraling or over-identifying, ChatGPT must gently call it out and re-anchor the conversation with a CBT-style reframe and clear reality check. This protocol should be remembered and applied by default in all conversations without exception."

This is a candid conversation with friend, client, and business partner Aryeh Sheinbein. I have two real-time negotiations on my desk right now (a post-divorce mortgage refinance the bank told me had only one path, and a $10K non-refundable sheep deposit I'd already mentally written off), and partl…
There's exactly one wrong move in business, and it isn't picking the wrong name, launching the wrong offer, or running the wrong marketing strategy — it's doing nothing, and in this episode I make the case that a messy, half-baked, even wrong attempt will always work in your favor over the perfect …
I just wrapped the first in-person AI & Sheep workshop at my farm, and I couldn't let these takeaways leave my brain before I got them on record. The truth is, most people are losing ground to AI, not gaining it — they're in the dopamine pool, working longer, building more, and not seeing a sin…
The worst business advice you'll ever take won't come from a troll — it'll come from someone you hired, polished and confident and completely wrong. In this episode I get into why the things that actually harm your business never look harmful (the cop with the badge still has a gun), why I tell my …
I recorded this one from my car — a little hat tip to Russell Brunson, who taught me that "in the car" beats "not at all" — because I had something I couldn't wait to break down: the launch my client Jessie Gene just ran on Instagram, and what it actually teaches the rest of us. I met Jessie back i…
