You’re Using ChatGPT-5 Wrong! Do This Instead (10x Better Responses) w/Jonathan Mast

Welcome to AI Marketing Experts, the podcast where smart marketers harness AI to work smarter, not harder.

In this episode, we’re joined by Jonathan Mast, an AI-forward strategist who reveals the truth about how to actually get results with AI  without getting overwhelmed, lost in tools, or caught up in hype.
Jonathan shares how AI isn’t an “easy button” but an “easier button”  when used right. 

You’ll learn his 4-part prompting framework that helps you get consistent, high-quality results from tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity, and why most users are asking AI the wrong questions.

We also explore the shift toward agentic AI and AI browsers that can handle complex tasks like booking meetings, writing emails, and supporting daily workflows. But with great power comes great responsibility — and Jonathan gives clear guardrails to avoid misuse, privacy issues, and hallucinations.

For entrepreneurs, creators, and marketers looking to bring clarity, consistency, and customization into their AI workflow, this episode is a must watch!
