Episode Summary
In this solo episode, host Cary Weston reflects on his experience serving on a murder trial jury over 20 years ago and draws powerful connections between that experience and how we use ChatGPT today. With no prior legal background, Cary had to make sense of complex and unfamiliar information—an experience that mirrors what many people go through when trying to understand new technology or make decisions without enough context.
Using that jury duty experience as a jumping-off point, Cary breaks down three ways ChatGPT can help users improve their communication and understanding: by addressing the curse of knowledge, seeing things from different points of view, and practicing tough conversations.

3 Key Takeaways
-
The Curse of Knowledge is Real: Just because something is basic to you doesn't mean it's basic to everyone. ChatGPT can help you break down complex ideas so they're easier to understand—especially for beginners or first-timers.
-
Point of View Matters: Conversations get stuck when people can't see things from each other's perspective. ChatGPT can help you explore different points of view and better understand where someone else is coming from.
-
Practice Makes Better: You can use ChatGPT to simulate and rehearse real-life conversations—whether it's a tough talk, a job interview, or a client pitch. With the right setup, it becomes a realistic practice partner.
