About this listen

Turning generative AI from buzzword to business value.

Join host Alex, an operations strategist and lifelong experimenter, as he pressure-tests real-world ways to use off-the-shelf GenAI tools (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok, & friends) to shave hours off workflows, unlock hidden insights, and spark culture change.

Each bi-weekly episode delivers:

1) Short, story-first breakdowns of successful pilots (and a few glorious flops)

2) Operator-minded prompt frameworks you can copy-paste today

3) Executive-level metrics to prove the ROI of “imperfect” experiments

4) Guests who actually run GenAI in the trenches—not just on slides

    Jul 17 2025

    Episode Description – “Trips, Prompts … and a 30-Prompt Day” Grab your phone and your wanderlust: this episode turns GenAI into both a pocket-size travel agent and the habit you’ll swear by before week’s end.

    • Act I – Vacation Wizardry Watch GenAI plan a three-city Euro adventure (loyalty points, hidden-gem cafés, Harry-Potter day trip, the works) in the time it takes to brew a latte. One prompt, a few tweaks, and hours of spreadsheet pain disappear.
