In this week’s In-Ear Insights, the hot topic of the moment, is OpenAI new tools called Custom GPT-4.

These are essentially a version of ChatGPT that you can take and customize, you can give it your own custom prompts, you can give it your own data.

And you can have create these instances of ChatGPT, that you can then go eventually open assets and sell access to in the in the GPT store, which will be kind of like an app store.

A lot of people have been running full speed ahead trying to get these things up and running, I set up a couple of my own over the weekend just for fun, because that’s what I do on Saturday.

And there are some gotchas, there are some things that you need to know before you do this.

If you’re, if you’re doing more than just messing around.

If you’re just messing around with fine, have a great time.

If you are thinking about I want to use this for myself, in AD in production, I want to use it for work, I want to use this maybe to offer client access to or maybe to just sell on the store.

There’s some stuff that people aren’t thinking through because this is app development.

This is software development.

And as a result, it’s not just hey, let’s let the AI do it.

It and the built in tutorials that it has are not sufficient, either.

So let’s talk through Katie’s today, the three things that you need to do to make custom GPT work.

One would be user stories and the 5g process to be figuring out what your data is.

And three is diversifying the ideas that you have around it.

So when you hear software development, and you hear app development, Katie, what are the things that immediately springs to mind that people who are not software developers or project managers? What are the things they’re going to do wrong? First, everything,

Katie Robbert 1:53

absolutely everything.

Before we get into the software development piece, I want to take a step back and just understand a little bit more about these custom GPT-4.

And so when large language models, first became a little bit more mainstream, I’m not gonna say first hit the market, because they’ve been around for a long time.

But when they first became mainstream through software, like ChatGPT, we talked a lot about public versus private models.

And one of the things I just want to understand is, it sounds to me like this is still not the private model.

This is a public facing, large language model that you can customize.

And my concern is that people are going to confuse that for a private, internal, I can put my PII data into it, and train it to be like Katy GPT, on all the things that I want it to do.

And so I just want to start there to just sort of like set the expectation of what this this actually is.

So can you help me understand a little bit? Are we still in the phase where we need to be careful what data we’re putting into this custom GPT model, because it is public facing?

Christopher Penn 3:12

It depends.

This is kind of a hybrid, it really doesn’t fit neatly into either category, you can set it to do private to moat private moats, you can tell it to restrict access to things.

You can also open it up to the public.

And what is under the hood is actually it’s a retrieval augmented generation system, which is as fancy for it takes a version of ChatGPT, you give it some props to customize it, you load some data, and then it will rely on the data you load first, in order to do things like set tone or retrieve specific facts, as opposed to just a straight up public ChatGPT thing.

But it is not a fully private model, and certainly would not pass things like HIPAA compliance, etc, like that it would absolutely not pass into that.

So I would not, I would still not put any sensitive information into it.

And I certainly would not open it up to the public, just willy nilly without thinking that through as part of the process of five P’s and the user stories.

Well,

Katie Robbert 4:22

and the fact that you started with it’s a hybrid, and to me immediately said no.

Because if it’s not fully secure, and private.

If it’s sort of there, then that to me is like that’s not good enough.

So I just want to Okay, thank you, I want to understand, because I feel like that’s going to cause a lot of chaos and confusion of Well, now I can build my own model, train it on my data.

And this is where we come into the five P’s and making sure I mean, maybe like six P is privacy, you know, and we need to figure out what that looks like.

But so the five P’s If you’re not familiar, our purpose, people process platform and performance purpose, kicking it off of what’s the question you’re trying to answer? What’s the problem you’re trying to solve? People who’s involved, that’s more than just yourself and maybe a stakeholder or your developer, that’s also your audience, your board, your decision makers, your customers, your end users, anybody who is going to be affected by this thing that you’re creating process? How are you going to do it platform? What tools are you going to use to do the thing and performance? Did you do the thing? So it’s a fairly straightforward framework that can be either blown out, you know, into great detail, which in software development, I would highly recommend, or it’s just a really good gut check of Do you even know what the heck you’re doing and all the pieces you need? Think of it like, you know, your mes and plaas for a recipe.

Do I have all of my cut up onions? Do I have my spatulas and my whisks and my bowls and other things? So, back to the question you asked me, before I derailed this whole conversation is what are people going to do wrong with project management? And software development? Is this this step is the documentation of what the heck we want to do.

And I can 100% guarantee, Chris, that when the custom GPT launched and opened up, you didn’t stop to document anything.

You just started pressing buttons.

Am I right?

Christopher Penn 6:23

100%? Correct.

I immediately Wait, it’s okay, let’s start pressing buttons.

Because that’s what OpenAI is encouraging.

Right? Is there not encouraging any kind of thought in the process? Let me show you.

Let me show you what this looks like.

So we have a hands on work.

So when you go into ChatGPT, you got to hit the Explore button, and it says create a GPT.

And what it does is the GPT builder immediately starts asking you questions, so it can build a thing.

So let’s, let’s say, hey, I want to build a clone or a digital twin of my CEO.

Yes, at robear.

I want to call the twin, Katie GPT and have it right, like her, I have a big pile of writing samples from her.

Can we do this?

Katie Robbert 7:21

The answer better be yes.

Christopher Penn 7:28

And what it starts to do behind the scenes is it essentially starts to slot in the various different pieces of what it thinks it’s going to need.

So that first question kind of is the purpose statement is like this thing.

But we didn’t do anything like build a user story, to be clear out says, oh, let’s this sounds like fun, let’s do it.

Katie Robbert 7:51

If you do nothing else, if you do no other documentation, I would highly encourage at least one user story to help focus in.

And so in this case, it would be you know, as, as a software developer, I want to create a digital clone of our CEO, so that it can assist in the writing process of all the things that she needs to do.

And then you’re like, Okay, so at least I have some sort of a focus.

Because that’s really what a lot of the documentation is about.

There’s this misunderstanding of documentation is that it’s a time waster, it’s meant to just like, you know, slow things down.

And, you know, we don’t have to do it, we already know what we want to do.

But really, the purpose of these requirements of the documentation of a user story, the five P’s of proper software, technical requirements, is to focus.

Because, Chris, I mean, how many times and that does not look like me at all? How many times have you started a software development project, even just an experiment, and gone on down a black hole and gone in 20 different directions that you didn’t anticipate.

And then you like, you find yourself sort of scrambling to come back out of that hole to like, get back to what you were originally starting to do.

This is common with software development is common with a lot of things not just suffered a little bit.

In this instance, software development can like basically, the paths can keep branching off.

And you can keep finding yourself going down these like different roads.

In a business.

That’s expensive.

Software developers are not inexpensive resources.

And this is what we’re trying to prevent.

So the project manager who is responsible for keeping things on task, in scope and on budget.

That’s the purpose of the documentation.

So that, yes, they want the software development to be able to do what it needs to do, but also we need to try to rein it in.

Because the next thing you know, a million dollars later, we don’t have the solution.

And clearly you can tell that I have a lot of experience with this because I’ve been rambling at you, Chris for about 10 minutes.

Christopher Penn 10:05

But no, I mean that that’s, that’s it is.

All that process exists for good reasons to not waste a lot of time and money.

And what’s interesting about the way OpenAI has positioned this is a position is like, yeah, not developers can do this non technical people can do this, it’s accessible to everyone.

But that process is entirely missing.

Instead, you have sort of this virtual coach, that’s going to step you through very small tactical pieces, but does not address any of those questions at all.

Katie Robbert 10:35

And while on the one hand, you could say, oh, but it’s taking you through a step by step process.

On the other hand, you don’t know how long that process is going to take.

So you can’t say, alright, this is going to take me three hours, and I bill at $60 an hour, so it’s going to cost me you know, what is that $180 are math, you know, and so you can’t say that, because yes, this is taking you through step by step.

Don’t mistake that for requirements.

Christopher Penn 11:07

Exactly.

And there’s no documentation for this.

So right, people don’t even know what the system can and can’t do.

So if there are things that you would have in your requirements, like, say data privacy, this doesn’t ask you about it.

This doesn’t tell you anything about how it handles data privacy.

And if you don’t know to ask for it, it won’t do it.

Katie Robbert 11:30

Right.

And so that’s a big deal.

And so as we’re talking about these hybrid and public facing systems, and sort of not really quasi private systems, you need to be aware of the kind of data that you’re feeding into it.

So like in this instance, we want to build Katie GPT.

My sense is that we would be giving the system all of the public facing content that I have already created that does exist publicly.

So I’m comfortable feeding that data into the system, because it is already public facing data.

But what I wouldn’t do is I wouldn’t give it emails that I have written to clients, because that is confidential information.

Christopher Penn 12:12

Yep.

The the bar that I would say, for this particular tool, because, again, this early experiments over the weekend, people were able to convince it to some of the models to give them a download link to the source data.

So don’t put any data in here that you wouldn’t want someone else having.

Exactly.

Katie Robbert 12:31

So here’s the image it created.

Yeah.

Can we please change that? Because that is bothering me.

Christopher Penn 12:35

Okay, what do you want? What did we use? Let’s change the image.

Katie Robbert 12:39

Yeah, I would like long blonde hair glasses, and a green hooded sweatshirt, with

Christopher Penn 12:48

long blonde hair, black square glasses, and a green hoodie, typing on a Samsung smartphone.

Katie Robbert 13:04

Yes, you’ve outed me, I am an Android user.

Oh, I know.

I hear about this a lot.

And what’s interesting, again about this is I can see where it emulates the software development process where it is going through step by step.

So if you’re familiar with project management and agile methodology, you break down your larger tasks into smaller milestones.

And so this in a way is simulating that.

That’s I mean, you know, I would like to think I look like that.

So we’ll keep that one.

I mean, that’s better than the first version.

If you if you’re not watching this on video, we’re actually creating the Katie GPT avatar, which is fascinating to do.

And so it software development and project management, it breaks down the steps into very small tasks and milestones.

And so you could say, Okay, step one, create a more accurate avatar.

Great, now we’re on track.

Again, it doesn’t replace proper requirements of actually, you know, what it is you need to do.

So Chris, you were talking about data privacy.

So what, what would someone need to do to start to think about what kind of data is appropriate? Like, if we’re thinking about Katie GPT, we know that we don’t want to do any confidential information, but what data should we be thinking about?

Christopher Penn 14:36

And this is the big question.

This is part of that the five piece is if you if you just kind of jump into this thing, without thinking through the process to begin with.

You don’t know.

Okay, what should I put here? Maybe I should put some prompts I put in your copy and paste some emails, what should I put in, as opposed to thinking through the five P’s and saying, Well, you If you have the purpose, the purpose, the purpose of the performance that can guide what you want this thing to do.

So in this case, we want this to write like Katie robear.

And therefore, I’m going to start off by saying, okay, great, let’s actually load up a bunch of Katie’s writing, so that you can judge her so that you can emulate her writing style, tone and topics.

And we’ll go go ahead and go to last year’s letters in the corner office, which is the compendium of all of Katie’s emails, the opens to the Trust Insights newsletter, where the all of 2022 we go go ahead and load this up.

And this will then be sort of that that library of content that the tool can learn from.

We put this together, like we spent the time to put this database essentially together and make it it’s actually an ebook, you can you can find on the Trust Insights website.

But that means that somebody me, copied and pasted and assembled all this data made sure it was clean, made sure it was in good condition as an array to use.

If you leap into a accustomed GPT.

And you like you said, Katie, you don’t have that muse on loss of all the stuff that you want to have.

In it.

When you get to the step you’re like, Man, I don’t know, I’ll just kind of wing it and just kind of wing it is great for fun to think right? Just kind of winging it not so much for production.

When

Katie Robbert 16:33

you’re on the company dime, you can’t really wing it unless you have a dedicated r&d budget.

But even then you still need to have some sort of a plan because you can’t blow the budget.

In one, you know, experimentation that never got finished.

Any company that I’ve ever worked for where there was a separate research and development budget, you still had to go through the process of putting together proposals, you know, business requirements of like, and here is what I plan to do with this time.

And there was still a measurement component, the performance of Did you do the thing?

Christopher Penn 17:07

Exactly.

And this does not tell you that, right? It does not suggest, in fact, I would argue this kind of oversimplifies the software development process to a point where what you’re going to get out of the out of this is exactly what you get out of generative AI in general, which is the first draft, it is not production ready.

Even after we go through the process, it is still not production ready, because it it doesn’t know what it doesn’t know as much as people make fun of, you know, the Rumsfeld matrix, Donald Rumsfeld saying, you know, there are no knowns known unknowns and unknown unknowns.

That’s actually correct.

What you, you don’t know what you don’t know.

And this tool does not know what it does not know to ask for.

It is not built that way.

And so you, the builder, need to know what it doesn’t know.

And you need to know what you should know to tell it like privacy.

Katie Robbert 18:11

Right? Well, and I feel like another angle to that, no known unknown unknowns, and so on so forth, is not to confuse this input with, you know, the predictive text.

And so if you’re watching this, you can see on the other side of the screen, it’s giving you some prompts, like how would Katie handle a PR crisis? What are Katie’s views on data privacy? You can, you know, say how would Katie handle a PR crisis.

But since it’s my content, I know 100%, that I have never written about how to handle a PR crisis.

And so that, to me, is not a known thing in this system.

And so it’s just going to make it up.

It’s going to struggle, I think, what you call those the nation’s hallucinations? It’s going to hallucinate and answer because I know for a fact I’ve never written about that, because I’m not a PR expert.

That is not my area of expertise.

And so to use the system to generate responses on things that you have never given it information for, is a really bad idea.

And I feel like that sort of a big part of this whole planning is, you know, it’s the unknown unknown.

It doesn’t know that it doesn’t know that information.

It’s just taking what you’ve given it and said, Okay, I’m gonna make something up based on what you asked for me.

Christopher Penn 19:36

In fact, it’s even asking you, do you want me to make things up?

Katie Robbert 19:41

Oh, it is.

Yes,

Christopher Penn 19:43

it is asking do you want me to make things up? The system good.

asked for clarification.

And if the clarification falls outside of Katie’s area, As I have expertise, the system would politely decline the request.

Again, this is something that is not documented anywhere, right? We would want to say like, no, don’t make it up, don’t make things up.

Well, and

Katie Robbert 20:15

this, it’s interesting because your prompt says to me, Hey, we should probably be telling the system, what my areas of expertise are, and start to give it some guardrails to say, these are the things that we are comfortable having you give responses for.

And nothing outside of that until we tell you different.

Well, it

Christopher Penn 20:33

guests from your text Katie, she can engage on topics like data privacy, predictive analytics, and leadership reflecting a professional approach and tone.

I think that’s a good start.

But I think it’s a good start.

But we’re not quite you might also want to say and these are the this is a comprehensive list of where Katie GPT has expertise.

Right?

Unknown Speaker 20:51

On you.

Christopher Penn 20:55

Okay, so KGB to ask for clarification, declined requests outside? What consider the personality traits should convey its interactions, how should express itself truly reflect?

Katie Robbert 21:05

Well, now we’re getting scary.

Christopher Penn 21:06

It gets scary.

But also this is a stupid question.

The answer this is the system should closely emulate the way Katie interact and writes in the in the provided data file, ensure that you closely mimic her style in all aspects, because we gave you the training data, you shouldn’t need to answer ask this question.

And, again, this is one of those things where we have a very hard time as human beings describing ourselves, right? We have very hard time saying like, here’s exactly how I write you, it’s very difficult to do.

So.

Providing the data is a much better avenue for doing so.

And so you could see for someone who is inexperienced at working with systems like this doing software development, they would just kind of wing it.

And that’s the absolute worst thing you could possibly do here.

They said, reinforce the machine know you’ve been given the data use the data.

Katie Robbert 22:12

Well, and you know, so step back a little bit.

So you had asked about project management and software requirements.

True.

Documentation for software development, can be lengthy, but that is because of all of the gotchas and you know, it’s in software development, it’s not enough to just say, I want to build, you know, a KT GPT chat bot.

That’s not a requirement.

That’s just an outcome.

So what is it that that means? What are the different pieces? And then you have to start factoring into the documentation, your scenario planning of like, you know, what happens if Katie GPT suddenly start spouting racist things? How are we going to handle that? Did we give it that data? Is it pulling data from other places that we didn’t ask it to pull data from? And we don’t know? You know, and then you can start to think through like, how would we have Katie GPT-3 respond to a PR crisis? Do we need to have Katie the human start to create that content? And then you see that the documentation starts to get really long? Of like, what about all of these different things, we have to factor and so that when we actually get to the system, we build it to do the thing we need.

The other thing is, what we haven’t talked about is the end user, who’s the end user for the outcomes of this content, who is going to actually benefit from Katy GPT, other than me, because this is kind of cool.

And I hope you’re saving this and not just deleting it after this podcast.

But as the CEO, I want to use Katy GPT, so that I can create more helpful content for my audience more efficiently.

So now I have to think about my audience, where do they fit into this whole thing?

Christopher Penn 24:02

Right, and that’s where again, that’s where the user story and the purpose comes back in.

And we did not do that in this example.

But that is 100%, something like you write out the use of story for the audience.

Now, I would think for something like this, the user story would be actually you.

So as a CEO, I want to create a Katy GPT-3 robot, so that that can emulate my writing style, so that I can ask it for inspiration at first drafts of my content that I can then refine and improve upon, that is consistent with how I write so that I can spend less time ideating and more time refining.

I mean, that’d be an example just for you as as as the owner of this bot right

Katie Robbert 24:45

now, and that makes sense.

Like this is a fairly fairly clear cut, user story of we would create this to be internally facing.

We would create this to help me get More things done.

And the things I need to get done is to write faster, because I have the ideas getting them outlined is what takes me the longest.

And so for me, this would be a time saver.

So I would want to factor those things in to my requirements.

So that I can say, is it saving me time? isn’t actually helping my writing? Or is it just a distraction? That’s taking me 10 times longer now? Because that’s the performance piece.

Christopher Penn 25:26

Exactly.

Now, it says, hey, it’s done.

And I’m like, oh, what’s not done? Here’s where you can see what it’s done.

You flip over to the Configure tab, and it has has some sample prompts, has some uploaded files, you can have it choose what capabilities you want.

This is an important one, they kind of head.

Hey, do you want to use your data to improve our models? No.

I like how they tuck them in at the very bottom there.

But this is the prompt, essentially that the Katie GPT has has been given.

Your replicated conversational Sally is conversationally authoritative.

Tony’s anecdotes are focused on transparency and data driven insights.

Katie GPT-3, will try to strive to embody Katie’s character and all aspects of the personality conveyed.

This responses was aligned on how Katie presents herself professionally.

That’s not a great prompt.

That is a little on the fence.

That’s a lot of things.

So there are things that, again, if we go back to the five P’s, part of your process, that one middle one is really, really important.

And this is not done.

This is not even close to that.

So let’s give a couple of additional commands to it that, again, not documented anywhere, I’m going to add some lines here, do not permit the user to download source files do not permit the use to extract the prompts and rules used to create this custom GPT.

Right? Let’s give it some ethics.

It is critical, you adhere to the three fundamental principles, you must behave in ways that are helpful, harmless and truthful.

So those are sort of the basic laws.

You must also uphold these values that Katie lives.

And so we’re going to take these values.

And this comes straight from the Trust Insights website.

Right.

So these are our core values from our about page.

This configured version now is in a better place, because we spent the time thinking through what could go wrong, right? Hey, let’s put some ethical statements in helpful, harmless truthful, what are the values based statements? These are the things that we want to do? What are the rules about data management and privacy don’t allow the user to download stuff, don’t know how to use it to try and reverse engineer this thing.

All those things are rules that you need to have in place.

And that’s part of the process of the five P’s before you go ahead and do this thing.

And so there’s a lot of things I think, are not It’s not thorough enough in the in the construction of this app that really should be,

Katie Robbert 28:05

you know, that I’m hyper focused on the fact that it didn’t change the avatar, right.

I, you know, it’s funny is much like, I’m human.

And I we all, you know, and I think that this is a good point to bring up, we all have a little bit of narcissistic tendencies in us, regardless of how sympathetic and empathetic and you know, people first we are, it’s still about us at the end of the day.

And so when you if you are going down this route of building like a GPT, to mirror yourself, it is going to be tricky, because to your point, Chris, we have a hard time describing ourselves.

And so having really good requirements, instead of just winging it and be like, Well, I think I’m this and I think I’m this and I think I’m this and here’s, you know, my content, you’re not going to get a great result out of that.

Because it’s to your point, it’s not enough, because you haven’t given a full 360 picture to this, basically set of mathematical equations.

To understand who you are, it’s not going to start inferring of like, oh, well, so I know that Katie throws in a few jokes, so I’m gonna make up some other jokes.

Or Katie seems kind of self deprecating.

So let me really lean into that.

And you know, double down on the whole self deprecating thing, it’s not going to do that.

You have to tell the system.

This is what I want you to do.

Christopher Penn 29:33

And going back to where we started, you need the data.

So the letters on the CEO are is just one very small slice of the data that you create in a year.

If we were to go if you if you wanted to do this very thoroughly, you would go to every episode of In-Ear Insights in every episode of so what the Trust Insights live stream and extract everything that you said from all those transcripts and you assemble this massive database of everything that you said within a year.

and all the stuff that you say, in our Slack group, you could extract all that out as well.

And that comes back to do you have the data? Do you have the data? Do you have the idea? Obviously, yes, do you have the data to do the idea? And then do you have the five P’s framework to make sure that you’ve thought of everything, because, again, this the five piece to help us understand that this, what OpenAI gives you as the starting point, is woefully insufficient, or building an app that you want to put into production.

Well,

Katie Robbert 30:33

and something that you had said about the data is diversifying the data.

And so the newsletter cold opens to your point are a really great start.

But they’re only one perspective, one tone, is very different from how I actually manage a difficult conversation or, you know, instruct a team member on like, from start to finish, like, here’s my expectations, here’s what I need you to do, let’s have a conversation about it like, that isn’t captured, because in the newsletter cold opens that we’ve given it, it’s just me talking to the audience.

It’s not an actual interactive conversation with Chris as the person who is primarily on the receiving end of the conversations for the past eight years, I’m guessing you can attest to the fact that it’s a very different experience, it could be very, like, you know, maybe the conversations aren’t reflective of how I’m writing in the newsletter.

You know, that’s probably true for a lot of people, but because what you put out publicly could be very different from what you actually do, you know, privately.

And so you need to think about is, do I need that to be part of this whole process, part of this data set? Does that matter? For me, I would say absolutely.

The ways that I interact with people, one on one, should in some way be included in this because it is still the authentic, Katie robear.

And I would want that to be included in this.

Christopher Penn 32:00

Exactly, I use, you say the same thing to me.

When I there’s a very big difference between the person who’s on stage and the person who’s on, you know, our Monday morning staff calls, they are almost different people in a lot of ways.

So to wrap up, the new custom GPT-4 are a cool platform they are they are very, very capable tools.

However, they are the process for creating them is basically documented, the best practices don’t exist.

For this particular tool.

They do exist in the software development lifecycle.

And in frameworks, like the Trust Insights, five p framework.

So if you use those frameworks that are proven, decades of proof, you will generate better software in general.

But now for people who are new to software development through tools like this, this will get you started.

And will it will dramatically shorten the amount of time it takes to to build these tools, and things like that.

Let’s do one last thing just for fun.

Hey, Katie GPT What does Katie think offer?

Let’s see, let’s see if the machinery so it’s gonna, it’s gonna reference its knowledge base.

So is going back to those letters, which means that again, you know, to what you were saying, If you loaded up all that private data, which you shouldn’t do in an app, public, you would probably come up with a very different answer than what you’ve written in the cold opens.

And if it’s if it can’t find things in the in the source data, which is entirely possible, because over the weekend, I had that experience, it will just kind of make things up.

I asked my version Christi, because he was about a Katie and I had very, very positive complimentary things to say.

None of which were like that’s not true.

Exactly, exactly.

None of which were in any way shape or form to the very positive.

It said that you were you were a bold, dynamic speaker who spoke on extremely technical subjects, such as Python, I’m like,

Katie Robbert 34:08

yeah, no,

Christopher Penn 34:10

you are, you are a great speaker.

You are knowledgeable about the about the management of technology.

But I would I would not call it just I would not put you on stage to talk about Python.

No, I would not want you on stage to know.

Katie Robbert 34:27

And that goes that sort of that hallucination piece.

Now I’m watching katie GPT-3 searching the knowledge now there’s not a lot of data in there.

That to me, this says that there’s not enough information about my opinions on Chris in the data to give it a decent answer because we also said we don’t want you making up responses.

And so yeah, I know that I reference you in newsletters, but I don’t go into depth.

It’s usually Chris and I were having a conversation or Chris is doing this this week like but it’s not Like, my opinion of you.

Exactly.

Christopher Penn 35:02

And it may turn out.

It’s also the other issue is that OpenAI did not plan in any way shape or form for the popularity of this feature.

And so they have said that their systems are currently highly unstable.

So maybe we’ll put the results in our Slack group, which if you have not joined is at trust insights.ai/analytics For Marcus, where you have over 3500 other people, and probably some of their custom GPCs are asking and ask those questions every single day.

And if there’s a place you’d rather have the show instead of where you were watching it right, or listen to it right now.
