The Enchanted Ops Society™ is a 16-week, live-and-self-paced program where you build your own business systems, automations, and AI, no code required. You’ll work in Airtable, Zapier, Notion, and Claude or ChatGPT, spend about 10-15 hours a week, and walk away owning everything you build. AI doesn’t enter until around Week 9, so beginners aren’t […]

Recently, I decided to make a change with my AI usage. No, I’m not backing away from it, obvi. I decided to stop paying for ChatGPT and switch over to Claude by Anthropic. ALSO, there’s been a lot in the news about Claude and AI safety, which I briefly talk about later, but it also […]

Finding ways to use AI more effectively (as I start to build my own custom GPTs) is literally one of the things that helps me get up in the morning.  (That and my 49th Parallel decaf coffee, ironically enough!) ☕️ With said coffee in hand, I am sometimes fuelled with frustration when AI works against […]
