## Resource

Welcome to AI Marketing Experts, the podcast where smart marketers harness AI to work smarter, not harder. In this episode, our co-hosts Laura Sutherly and Jennifer Crego tackle one of the most common questions they hear from clients, colleagues, and listeners: “How do I shorten the learning curve with AI?” Instead of hype or unrealistic promises, they break down the actual path to learning AI in a sane, sustainable way whether you’re brand-new, intermediate, or already experimenting. You’ll hear why AI is a marathon (not a sprint), how to pick ONE thing to learn without getting pulled into tool overload, and why treating AI like a smart intern not a magic button helps small business owners get results faster. They also unpack context windows, ChatGPT honesty checks (“Can you actually do that?”), when to start a fresh chat, and why asking AI what it remembers can save hours. This episode brings a blend of mindset, practical steps, and relatable stories (including ChatGPT “fatigue,” donut-breath jokes, and long road-trip chat sessions) to help beginners feel grounded, not intimidated. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: • How to test a custom GPT’s claims (“Can you actually do that?”)• The 10-minute sprint to stay focused (and stop rabbit holes)• When to start a fresh chat to beat context fatigue• The 3-question filter: Will it save time?
