The Email Security Blueprint Every Business and Individual Needs to Read Before It’s Too Late One Strange Email Changed Everything It starts with something small. You get an email from a contact you trust, someone you’ve known for years. The subject line feels odd. The message is vague. There’s a link or an attachment, but nothing about it seems urgent. You pause. You click. You just invited a hacker into your business, your inbox, your files, your finances — and in...
Continue Reading >>Most people think prompts are just a way to “ask” ChatGPT something. They’re wrong. Prompts, when used strategically, are a diagnostic tool, a mirror, a coach, a business architect, and a lever. Used right, a single prompt can unlock your next product, pivot, or income stream. I know this because I’ve lived it. And in this article, I’ll show you exactly how a single prompt not only reframed my own thinking but gave me the blueprint I’ll be teaching to others...

AI is not coming. It’s here. And it’s reshaping the job market with ruthless precision. On one side, we’re seeing entire departments vaporized by automation. On the other, new opportunities are exploding in fields most professionals barely understand. The question is no longer if you’ll be affected—it’s when, how, and...
Continue Reading >>I recently received a message that stopped me in my tracks. Not because of its complexity, but because of its beauty and honesty. It came from someone who’s followed my work for years, a former colleague from my early days attending various workshops. She wrote: “Chad, every time I read your column, I’m even more impressed than I was the last time. I went a different direction with my life and am now retired. I’m trying to figure out how...

The other confuses you, hides the best products, and sends you wandering in frustration. Online, your website is your storefront—and in today’s hyper-competitive digital world, clarity, strategy, and user experience are non-negotiable. Yet too many business leaders launch and leave their websites, never truly understanding what’s working, what’s broken, or what can be optimized. Others study their competitors blindly, missing the...

A well-structured prompt is the architectural blueprint that turns raw data into a skyscraper of insights. Without it, you’re piling bricks in hopes they arrange themselves into something useful—and they never do. That’s why I created the High-Performance Prompt Blueprint — a clear, actionable framework that transforms vague requests into precision tools for AI. It’s not just about asking better questions;...
Continue Reading >>In a single bold internal memo, Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke redrew the future of work: “prove that AI can’t do the job before requesting a new hire.” That’s not just a cost-saving directive—it’s a siren for every leader paying attention. The message is clear: AI fluency isn’t optional anymore. It’s essential. What Lütke—and other forward-thinking leaders—understands is this: AI isn’t replacing human expertise. It’s an amplifier of your mind. It multiplies capability. At Shopify, team members who are fluent with...
Continue Reading >>Here’s one of those moments where technology doesn’t just assist—it accelerates your brilliance. Today, I uncovered another mind-expanding capability of ChatGPT. I asked it to help generate high-impact content ideas across several key insight categories that align with the emotional drivers and behavioral patterns of my ideal clients. Here’s the prompt I used—feel free to borrow it and adjust as needed: “Act as a world-class marketing strategist and behavioral psychologist for entrepreneurs, coaches, consultants, and thought leaders. Analyze their mindset,...
Continue Reading >>Imagine having a digital partner who doesn’t just respond to your questions—but remembers what matters to you. Not in a creepy way. In a collaborative, strategic, business-building way. That’s exactly what the new ChatGPT memory feature is doing for me—and it’s transforming how I work, create, and think. What Is Memory in ChatGPT? Most people think of AI as something reactive. You prompt it, it responds. You close the tab, it forgets. But now, ChatGPT can remember key information about you: Who you...
Continue Reading >>Imagine stepping onto the track with four high-powered race cars, each representing today’s leading AI models—Claude.ai, ChatGPT 4.0, ChatGPT 4.5, and ChatGPT Deep Research. You have one masterful prompt as your steering wheel, and the finish line represents extraordinary results for your digital empire.
