The Ai Mirror micro Podcast
These are the types of questions I will ask:
You do not need to prepare perfect answers.
These questions are meant to reflect how you actually work today.
-
When did you first try using AI like Chat GPT for your work?
What were you hoping it would help you with?
What was your first reaction — excitement, confusion, or doubt?
-
What do you actually use AI for today?
Can you describe one recent task where you used it?
What part of that task did AI help with the most?
-
How do you usually start typing to AI — short or long messages?
Do you often need to ask again to get what you want?
What usually goes wrong when it doesn’t work?
Do you use a personal GPT or Agents?
-
When AI gives you something back, what do you do first?
Do you usually keep it as is, or change it a lot?
Have you ever felt, “this doesn’t sound like me”?
-
Is there something you don’t want AI to touch in your work?
Why not?
Is there something you still prefer to do yourself, even if AI could help?
-
Has using AI changed the way you work — even a little?
Has it changed the way you think about your work?
If you had to explain AI to a friend, what would you warn them about?
And last but not least,
What do you wish AI like “ChatGPT” understood better about you?

FAQ
-
Because they serve different purposes.
The Firestarters podcast focuses on your story: who you are, what shaped you, and what you stand for.
The AI Mirror focuses on how you think: how you work with AI in practice, where it helps, where it frustrates you, and where you draw the line.
Keeping these conversations separate allows both to be honest, without one diluting the other.
-
That’s completely fine and often the most valuable.
The AI Mirror is not about mastery.
It’s about documenting real thinking at a real moment in time.Uncertainty, hesitation, and friction are part of the process.
-
No.
Your Firestarters episode is the only public-facing conversation and follows the same narrative and editorial standards as always.
The AI Mirror lives inside a private, educational environment and is used for learning, not promotion or branding.
Those two layers are intentionally separated.
-
It will.
The AI Mirror is not a statement of belief or a fixed position.
It’s a snapshot of how you think now.Growth, contradiction, and evolution are expected and welcomed.
-
You always retain the ability to flag:
• Sensitive topics
• Context you’re uncomfortable with
• Moments that feel misalignedThe goal is long-term trust, not extracting content.
-
Your AI Mirror recording may be:
• Edited for clarity
• Broken into short educational clips
• Integrated into courses and learning modules
• Used in future iterations of the platformAlways within an educational context.
Never for sensationalism. -
This is a value exchange:
• You receive a full Firestarters podcast episode
• Your thinking contributes to an educational platform that helps others learn how to think more clearly in the AI eraThere is no transactional obligation beyond that.
-
Because structure creates safety.
Clear separation between story and thinking, clear consent, and clear intent allow both conversations to be honest without second-guessing where things might end up.
That clarity is deliberate.
-
Firestarters tells stories.
The AI Mirror studies thinking with AI tools like Chat GPT.Together, they explore what it means to remain an author of your work in a world shaped by AI.
That’s the only agenda.
