Permission to share something a little uncomfortable: I talk to AI about things I wouldn't talk to my team about.
Not because I'm hiding anything. Because some thoughts need to be half-formed and stupid before they become useful, and there's no professional context where you get to be half-formed and stupid out loud.
"I'm worried this hire isn't working out and I don't know if it's me or them." "I think our pricing is wrong but I can't articulate why." "This client makes me dread Mondays and I want to figure out if it's worth the money."
These aren't prompts that produce deliverables. They produce clarity. And clarity is the actual bottleneck for most business owners — not execution, not tools, not tactics.
If you're only using AI for things you'd be comfortable saying in a board meeting, you're using maybe 10% of what it's actually good for.
