Embracing AI, Cam Irvine Education Event, 100 days of video content, 5am Swims

Each week I'm going to write about something I've learned or have been working on as well as some highlights

Feb 19, 2025

Happy Wednesday,

After a 5am swim this morning, the Cam Irving Money Education Event and back to back coaching sessions it's been a pretty big day!

Already this new newsletter format feels so much more freeing. A big win and a reminder to keep iterating, keep reviewing and striving to optimise and change things that aren't working.

Enjoy the rest of the week.

What Have I learned:

AI

It feels like Chat GPT has got a lot better lately, I'm not sure if that's factually accurate or if it's just me but I've been getting an extreme amount of value from the $40 / month subscription.

I think the best all time prompt has been "Be my harshest critic and explain how I can progress faster?" Or something along those lines.

I'm excited to be hosting Brad from Agentic AI on the podcast next week. If you've got any topics you'd me to discuss with him, let me know. My goal is to try and be as practical as possible. Either you can utilise AI tech on your own and or when you should engage with an AI Consultancy like Agentic.

Selfishly I'd like to know for my own Business but I also feel this is a highly relevant topic.

It helps that Brad is also a genius.

I've also found Chat GPT incredibly useful for planning, sound boarding and consolidating ideas.

Otta.ai is another platform worth considering, summarising meetings, providing action tasks. it's great.

In the meantime if you're looking for professional level help implementing AI or just want to chat I'd suggest getting in touch with Brett from Agentic AI.
