Business Brain – The Entrepreneurs’ Podcast FridAI: ChatGPT Tasks + AI in the Movies
Dave and Shannon kick off episode 691 on National Handbag Day, segueing from Shannon’s experiment that grew into selling 7,000 handbags and nearly $4M in revenue. He explains how handbags taught him the power of emotional selling and confidence-driven purchases. The conversation pivots to ChatGPT “tasks” (automations) that perform timely research and send results—born from Dave’s football-pick workflow—and expands to examples like weekly industry briefings, sponsor invoicing reminders, and Apple Shortcuts/Zapier/IFTTT integrations to reduce friction and beat procrastination by starting work for you.
They broaden the lens to AI’s impact on creative industries: gatekeepers vs. discovery, parallels to self-publishing in books and indie music, and the rise of AI actors. Their stance: embrace the new tools, accept pros and cons, and focus on execution and curation. A Masterclass sponsor read reinforces continuous learning. They close by inviting listener feedback and reviews (with a MacBook giveaway) and sign off for the weekend.
