Show Notes

Here’s what to expect from this episode:

You sit down, open a blank screen, and have no idea what to create your portfolio sample on. Sound familiar? You’re not alone, and in this episode, I’m sharing a simple but game-changing way to use AI to get unstuck and finally move forward.

This isn’t about better prompting in the traditional sense. It’s about flipping the script and letting AI ask YOU the questions so you get better output without having to figure out everything upfront.

Topics covered:

  • Why staring at a blank screen happens and how AI can help you get past it
  • The simple shift that will get you much better output from any AI chat tool
  • How to turn your hobbies and everyday interests into a real corporate training topic
  • What’s coming on Substack this summer including a special interactive app for portfolio topic ideas

Are you working on your portfolio this summer? I’d love to hear how it’s going. Join our Facebook group and let’s discuss!
