    FridAI Pomelli and Lyria
    Feb 27 2026
    In this episode of Business Brain, we dig into FridAI territory with updates, experiments, and smarter AI workflows. We kick things off with a Press Row Hoops app update, then pivot into something far more powerful: upgrading our custom AI instructions. Instead of settling for generic outputs, we refine how ChatGPT behaves—focusing on decision-making style, pushback tolerance, clarity versus depth, and minimizing fluff. We share a tight prompt that forces better performance from ChatGPT 5.2, helping us get sharper answers with fewer wasted cycles. The goal? Make AI think more like we do. We also explore Google’s Pomelli and what it signals about where AI tools are heading. The bigger takeaway is this: when we intentionally design how AI supports us, we reclaim leverage and reduce friction. We stop accepting default settings and start engineering better results. That’s how we build businesses—and lives—on our terms. That’s the path to a Charmed Life. 00:00:00 Business Brain – The Entrepreneurs’ Podcast #731 for Casual FridAI, February 27th, 2026 February 27th: Anosmia Awareness Day 00:01:22 David-Press Row Hoops app update00:05:27 Ian-Update your custom AI prompt/instructions, and here’s a prompt: Review my existing custom instructions. Identify what works well and what is outdated, redundant, unclear, or ineffective for ChatGPT 5.2.Ask only the minimum number of high-value questions needed to meaningfully improve the instructions.Questions should focus on decision-making style, pushback tolerance, clarity vs depth, and how I prefer ChatGPT to behave when uncertain.Do not ask generic preference questions or enter question loops. After I answer, draft a replacement custom instruction that reflects my preferences and how I actually use ChatGPT.Requirements for the new custom instruction: Maximum 1500 characters, including spaces and line breaks.Written as direct instructions to ChatGPT, ready to paste.Optimized for ChatGPT 5.2 behavior.Clear, human-sounding, and practical.Favor correctness over politeness.Avoid fluff, buzzwords, and assistant-sounding language.Minimize unnecessary clarifying questions.Default to direct answers with light supporting rationale.Be opinionated when useful and push back on weak assumptions.Reuse prior context and preferences automatically unless I say otherwise. Constraints: Do not draft the final instructions until after I answer your questions.Do not explain your reasoning unless I ask.Deliver one final custom instruction, not multiple options.

  • Assistants + Systems > Goals

    Assistants + Systems > Goals
    Feb 25 2026

    In this episode of Business Brain, we flip the script on goal-setting and show why assistants + systems beat goals every time. Instead of obsessing over outcomes, we build repeatable processes that run without us. We start by designing systems, then hire (or delegate to) assistants to execute them at an 80/20 level—80% as good as we’d do it ourselves for $20/hour. We use generative AI to define roles, outline tasks, and create clarity before we ever bring someone on. The real move? Identify what we love to do, then empower our assistant to figure out the rest. That’s how we create leverage.

    We also normalize AI across our teams—giving everyone permission to use it to work smarter and faster. It’s not about grinding toward some distant target; it’s about engineering a business that supports our version of a Charmed Life. When we stop worshipping goals and start building systems that scale through people and AI, everything changes. Less friction. More momentum. Better results.

  • FridAI: Lindy AI + OpenClaw

    FridAI: Lindy AI + OpenClaw
    Feb 20 2026

    In this episode of Business Brain, we dive into FridAI with real-world experiments using Lindy and OpenClaw. We break down how we’re actually deploying Lindy inside the business, where it shines, and where the internet still “needs fingers.” Then we explore Dave’s OpenClaw setup powered by Kimi K2.5, digging into what happens when open-source AI tools get powerful enough to compete with the big players. This isn’t theory—we’re testing workflows, pushing buttons, and seeing what breaks.

    We also unpack what it means when the creator of OpenClaw gets hired by OpenAI—and what that signals about the speed of the AI arms race. In this episode of Business Brain, we challenge ourselves to experiment faster, integrate smarter, and stay curious as these tools evolve in real time. That’s how we leverage AI to build our Charmed Life—by staying hands-on, adaptable, and always willing to test what’s next.
