The Mike Method E35 ChatGPT and Mastering AI with Nicholas Ning
In this episode of The Mike Method, Mike Desjardins sits down with Nicholas Ning to explore the world of AI and how it’s reshaping the way we live, work, and interact. Nicholas has worked for Fortune 500 companies around the world on multi-billion dollar projects in strategy, finance, design, and marketing is the Ceo of Farpoint, a global AI consulting firm with a focus on workforce transformation.
They kick things off by looking back at November 30, 2022—the day ChatGPT launched and AI became more accessible than ever. Since then, the speed of adoption has been nothing short of staggering, outpacing previous technological shifts and pushing businesses, educators, and individuals to rethink their approach to AI.
A big theme of the conversation is trust. AI isn’t just something people blindly embrace—it’s built through experience, one interaction at a time. And while many are excited about its potential, concerns about privacy and ethical governance remain hot topics. Nick and Mike unpack how organizations can navigate these trade-offs, emphasizing that the real winners will be those who take a proactive approach to AI adoption rather than resisting change. They also dive into how to get started with AI, from asking simple questions to mastering prompt engineering. Businesses, in particular, need to understand their workflows and experiment through pilot phases before fully integrating AI into their operations. Those who do will gain a competitive edge, as AI has the power to dramatically enhance productivity and efficiency.
One of the most exciting frontiers? Multimodal AI, which combines text, images, and more to create richer, more intuitive user experiences. With AI advancing rapidly, there’s an urgency to adapt. As Nick puts it, organizations that embrace AI now will leave those that don’t in the dust.
