• Which AI Model? How to Choose, Train, and Make It Yours (for Coaches Who Want More Than Just “Smart” Replies)
    Aug 22 2025
    Episode Summary

    In this episode, Heather V Masters dives deep into the world of large language models (LLMs) and shows you how to go beyond generic advice. Discover how to pick, set up, and train an AI that truly sounds like you—so your content, outreach, and client interactions are genuinely authentic and uniquely valuable.

    If you’ve ever wished your AI knew your voice, your clients, and your vision, this is your fast-track to implementation.

    What You’ll Learn
    • Why choosing the right LLM isn’t just a tech decision—it’s a business (and brand) decision
    • The step-by-step difference between “template factory” AI and a real partner that thinks and writes with you
    • Quick, actionable tips for training any AI model—on any budget, with zero overwhelm
    • The exact prompts and starter process Heather uses with new models

    Chapters:
    • 00:10 - Choosing the Right LLM
    • 00:55 - The Introduction of AI: A Personal Journey
    • 01:59 - Embracing AI: A New Approach to Writing
    • 02:59 - Starting with the Right Use Cases for Business Transformation
    • 04:29 - Beginning the Client Interaction Process
    • 05:11 - Getting Started with AI: Your Voice and Style


    Step-by-Step Workflow

    1. Know Your Why:

    Decide what you want AI to help with most—emails, session notes, outreach, content? Clarity here saves hours later.

    2. Choose Your Model:

    • Simple/fast content? ChatGPT 4 or Claude 3
    • Long docs/complex reasoning? Claude 3 or Gemini
    • Private/fully-custom? Llama 3 (Meta, open-source), MindStudio, or a trusted provider

    3. Train Your Model—With HEART:

    Gather 2–3 pieces of content that are classic “you.” Upload or paste, and use these as prompt fuel.

    Sample Prompt:

    “Study the following to match my tone and values. Reply as if you are me, helping [ideal client]. [PASTE SAMPLE]”

    4. Test and Iterate:

    Try real business tasks—client recaps, celebration posts, marketing copy. Give direct feedback. Save the best for future “prompt training.”

    5. Safeguard Data & Integrate:

    Ensure your model/platform protects privacy. Integrate with your email/CRM/workflow tools for speed.

    Heather’s Top Tips (from the Show)
    • Don’t settle for bland AI—make it yours by combining your best material with clear, human prompts.
    • Feedback is the secret sauce: the more you correct/style, the more useful (and “you”) your model becomes.
    • Start now, start small—one use case, one prompt, one win at a time.
