Today, I was asked to provide a demo to a group on how to create a custom GPT using Open AI‘s ChatGPT-4. I put it up on YouTube so I could share it with folks. It’s a quick walk-through of the process of building, testing, adding knowledge, and saving public or private. If you are messing around in AI – ChatGPT isn’t the only game in town, but it is the easiest to date if you pay the twenty bucks a month for a subscription to Open AI. I am sharing this in case you are one of ‘the curious 18%’ of the population currently playing in Generative AI. If you are in the other 82%, bookmark this, and I’ll see you soon.

Applied Experiential Futures
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to step into the future? The social science field known as Futures allows you to do just that. Through research and data collection, trained analysts can ‘find’ possible futures through foresight tools and determine what to do to prevent or enable those futures through methodologies called Futurecasting and Threatcasting. At the Applied Futures Lab have created a fun futures guide to share some of the tools we use to help folks find their many possible futures to head straight for their desired outcome or steer clear of potential disruptions.

Thrive! The Creative’s Guidebook to Professional Tenacity
The book is complete, and I want to share it. This book grew out of a class I taught called Professional Practices at the Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts | Arizona State University (2010 – 2016). This book is filled with all of the class content but bigger than that – it is a guide to encourage all creatives in their confidence and to get brave.
Rooted in the author’s experience as an entrepreneur and creative professional, Thrive! The Creative’s Guidebook to Professional Tenacity helps those in creative fields acquire the skills and tools needed to successfully market their talents and manage their careers. Speaking directly to how creatives think about and conduct business, the text is filled with engaging and accessible exercises, strategies, and tips.
The six units cover branding, searching for clients, asserting the value of creative work, pitching your talents, leveraging social and other media, managing finances and taxes, and more. Each chapter includes business terms creatives need to know, action tasks to prepare for the professional work ahead and specific guidance about how the content can be applied in the real world.
Fresh and innovative, Thrive! The Creative’s Guidebook to Professional Tenacity understands the importance of speaking to creative professionals in their own language and showing them how to leverage their outside-the-box skills to achieve professional and financial success. The book is ideal for anyone studying or working in the fields of art and design, or any creative endeavor.
Thanks for sharing with others!
