Episode 85: The Simple, Four-Part Framework You Can Use To Get Better Results From ChatGPT

Episode Summary

In this solo episode, Cary tackles one of the biggest frustrations professionals face with ChatGPT: getting vague, unhelpful answers even after what feels like a clear prompt. He shares a simple, powerful four-part framework that transforms how you communicate with AI—turning ChatGPT from a guessing machine into a real thinking partner. Whether you’re writing emails, analyzing data, or building training materials, this framework helps you get clearer, more actionable results every time.


3 Key Takeaways

  • Most people treat ChatGPT like Google—and that’s the problem. It needs clear instructions, context, and expectations, just like a new team member would.
  • The Four-Part Framework includes: 1) What are we doing? 2) Why are we doing it? 3) What does success look like? 4) Do you have any questions for me?
  • Better prompts = better results. By giving structure and clarity upfront, you save time and frustration later.
