The Power of New Ideas

I’ve been getting a lot of questions lately—some genuine curiosity, some lightly disguised criticism—about why I spend so much time using ChatGPT. Fair question. But let me be honest: I spend time on it because it matters.

I’ve always believed my purpose is to help others, especially appraisers, become better business owners. That’s the reason I started coaching, the reason I podcast, and the reason I keep showing up. And right now, I’m convinced that tools like ChatGPT are absolutely critical to our future success.

When I first heard about AI and machine learning, I didn’t think much of it. But the deeper I dove in, the more I realized this is not a passing trend. This is a fundamental shift in how we work, how we think, and how we grow. ChatGPT isn’t about replacing humans—it’s about enhancing what we’re already doing and giving us better ways to solve problems, make decisions, and serve our clients.

I spend an hour or so a day exploring it. Why? Because every single time, I come away with at least one new good idea. That’s not an exaggeration. One solid idea per day. And if you’re in business, you know that one good idea can change everything.

So no, I don’t think it’s too much time. I think it’s an investment—in my business, in my clients, and in the future of this industry.
