1098 – Make AI part of your team: Tom talks AI Brainstorming

SUMMARY BY CHATGPT

🧠 Core Idea
AI (like ChatGPT) can dramatically improve your brainstorming, decision-making, and content creation—especially when combined with a well-built master prompt.
________________________________________
🔑 Key Takeaways
1. Master Prompts = Foundation of Everything
• A master prompt teaches AI about your business, audience, and goals.
• You can:
o Ask AI to interview you and build one
o Create a full version (detailed, saved for important tasks)
o Create a shortened version (fits into system/custom instructions)
👉 Use the short version daily, and paste the full version when doing high-stakes work.

2. AI as a Brainstorming Partner
💬 A. Objection Handling Practice
• Tell AI to act like a customer
• It generates objections to your product/service
• You respond → AI critiques your answers
✅ Benefit: Safe environment to improve sales and messaging
________________________________________
🧩 B. Find Gaps in Your Thinking
• Present a business idea or plan
• Ask:
“What am I missing?”
“Where are the flaws or gaps?”
✅ Benefit: Better decision-making and fewer blind spots
________________________________________
💡 C. Idea Generation (Daily Use)
• AI can generate:
o Podcast topics
o Product ideas
o YouTube videos
o Social media content
Example from the episode:
• Daily email with 3 podcast ideas + reasoning
• Use directly OR research further before creating
________________________________________
📱 D. Content Ideas Across Platforms
Use AI for:
• TikTok
• Instagram
• Facebook
• YouTube
👉 You can also base ideas on customer questions to ensure relevance
________________________________________
3. Smarter Content Strategy (Viral Angle)
• Ask AI to:
o Find popular content in your niche
o Analyze why it works (structure, topic, engagement)
• Then:
o Recreate (don’t copy) using your own content
✅ Benefit: Higher chance of visibility and engagement
________________________________________
4. Why This Matters
• Eliminates “blank page syndrome”
• Saves time for busy entrepreneurs
• Produces consistent, relevant ideas
• Scales creativity without burnout
________________________________________
⚠️ Key Principle
AI works best when it already knows you → master prompt is critical.
________________________________________
🎯 Bottom Line
Use AI not just as a tool—but as a:
• Brainstorming partner
• Business strategist
• Content generator
• Practice coach
And everything gets easier once your master prompt is dialed in.

Episode 1098 – AI Brainstorming
[00:00:08] Welcome to Screw the Commute. The entrepreneurial podcast dedicated to getting you out of the car and into the money, with your host, lifelong entrepreneur and multimillionaire, Tom Antion.
[00:00:24] Hey everybody, it's Tom here with episode 1098 of Screw the Commute podcast. Today we're going to talk about AI brainstorming, how it's going to help you with that. And I've got another AI tip. If you didn't, or if you saw my masterclass on AI, I talked about master prompts, and I'm going to give you a little extra tip on master prompts, and I'll go ahead and re-explain it for you here in a minute. All right. I hope you didn't miss episode 1097. That was good is good enough. That's how perfectionism will kill you and strategies to get over it if you have that little problem. All right, pick up a copy of my automation book at screwthecommute.com/automatefree. Version 3.0 is current. And let's see, check out my mentor program at greatinternetmarketingtraining.com. And my school at IMTCV.org, certified to operate by SCHEV.
[00:01:20] Okay, let me give you this little extra tip from my masterclass. If you're using like ChatGPT or any of the AI programs, you can put in a master prompt so that everybody or not everybody that the AI program kind of knows about you so that when you ask it something else or you try to do something else, it already knows a lot about you. That's called a master prompt. And you can get the AI programs to help you create your own master prompt. In fact, you ask it in a prompt to help you create, interview you, and help you create your own master prompt.
[00:02:04] And then it's going to ask you a bunch of questions about your business and all that stuff. And you're going to have this big document kind of. But what happens is, is if you did a good job answering all the questions, the document, it's going to be too big to put in the master prompt area, but you want to save it. So you want to save it for use on really important stuff, but you're going to take the one that you got and you're going to put it into the prompt area and say, hey, reduce this so that it'll fit into the master prompt area, and it'll do an abbreviated version that you can use for most everything. But if something's really important, you copy the full master prompt into your prompt area and then ask your question or do whatever you're going to do in there. So that's your little extra tip on master prompts. And pretty soon I'll have my complete masterclass available for sale. We'll tell you about that when we get that ready. Okay, here we go. Brainstorming. So you can tell your AI let's just use ChatGPT because a lot of you, you are using that, but it's the same for all of them. You can tell ChatGPT to take the role of a customer and give objections, and you are going to try to answer the objections.
[00:03:37] And then AI will critique your answers to the objections. So it's going to brainstorm on objections. After you put your master prompt in, it's going to know about your products and services say so it'll come up with objections as if they were a customer. And then you can practice in a safe environment, overcoming those objections and coming up with the best ones. All right. So that's one kind of brainstorm. And then another kind is you can tell your idea that you're going to maybe create something new, or you plan on doing X, Y, and Z with your business, or you're going to incorporate or whatever it happens to be, and you're going to ask the ChatGPT for where are the gaps in my reasoning? Brainstorm on all the things I should be thinking about if I'm going to do this X, Y, and Z thing. So that's another kind of brainstorming. And then like, here's one that I use every morning at 8 a.m. eastern time, I get an email with three podcast ideas and also the reasoning of why ChatGPT thinks they are relevant, right? So, you know, after 1100, I mean, you know, we're almost hitting 1100. We actually have more than 1100 with some of our youth episodes.
[00:05:10] You know, I got to think. All right. What? What should I talk about now after 1100 episodes? And so it gives me ideas. And if I know, I think, oh, that's great. And I already know the topic, I'll just do a podcast on it. If I think the idea is great, but I don't really, you know, I need to bone up on the topic, I'll research it and then I'll do the podcast. See. So it's brainstorming for me on podcast ideas. And you could do the same thing for product ideas or whatever, right? And also YouTube ideas. So if I can't think of what I want to shoot for a YouTube video that's current, then I'll throw it in there and get some ideas. Sometimes I don't use any of them. And a lot of times, like one of our previous episodes, I just get questions from people and then I shoot videos or answer those or create products based on what you all are asking me all the time, and you can do the same for ideas for TikTok, Instagram, Facebook postings, all of those things. Just throw it in there. And like I said, it knows you already. If you've put the master prompt in and then it'll give you answers based on what it already knows about you.
[00:06:29] All right, another thing you can do if you want to really have the best chance of success. This is a YouTube related thing, but it'll work for any of the social media is ask it to go out and find the most popular videos. Let's let's just use videos for this demonstration. Ask it to find the most popular videos on your topic, and then you look at them and see why they got so many views and this and that and what they're about and how they were structured. And you don't copy them, but you recreate with your information something very similar, and that gives you a better chance of getting more views and going viral and all that stuff. So pretty much this brainstorming makes your life easier because it gives you ideas rather than sitting there with a blank screen or a blank piece of paper and trying to think stuff up. You know, when you're busy, you know, a small business people have a million things on their plate. So it just makes your life easier to come up with ideas. All right, so that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Make sure you do that master prompt thing because that's the the center of your ChatGPT. And if you have employees, make them do it too. I go into this in depth with hacks and things to make your master prompt better when when I come out with the masterclass.
[00:07:55] Or maybe you had seen it on the previous summit that I just did, or you bought the premium pass and and you have access to it. So really dig into it, get that master prompt going. And then all these brainstorming will be much easier because it already knows about you. All right. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Hey, check out my school at IMTCVA.org. You actually get a scholarship to the school if you're in my mentor program at greatinternetmarketingtraining.com. And it's going to save you hundreds of thousands of bucks from a four year, what I call indoctrination camps that everybody else calls them universities. I say they just teach you how to protest, and then you graduate and you're competing for jobs at Starbucks. So, my school gives you an actually an actual in demand skill and as little as six months. And we've actually had people making money before they graduated. So check it out IMTCVA.org And email me at tom@screwthecommute.com if you have any questions. There's no high pressure here. We just tell you what we can do for you and if it's good for you, then we'll make it happen. All right. Catch you on the next episode. See you later.
