She’s Running a Business, Writing a Book, and Getting a PhD—with ChatGPT- Ep. 11 with Anne-Laure Le Cunff

Are you a curious person with a lot of ideas and little time?

Anne-Laure Le Cunff can show you how to do it all. Anne-Laure is the founder of one of my favorite internet communities for curious minds, Ness Labs, a prolific writer, and a neuroscience PhD candidate. She’s also writing a book, Liminal Minds, that’ll be out later this year.

And she said that the reason she can run a business, write a book, and do a PhD all at the same time is ChatGPT.

Anne-Laure is one of the busiest people I know, and in this episode we dive into how she uses ChatGPT to get everything done.

We get into:

  • How to use ChatGPT to be more efficient
  • Tips to break down research papers into digestible insights
  • How she leverages ChatGPT to revamp her YouTube thumbnails
  • Tips on using ChatGPT to write prolific articles
  • Doing deep research on the internet using ChatGPT
  • How to use ChatGPT to generate advice tailored for your needs
  • How to surface useful insights from your journal using ChatGPT

This is a must-watch for curious, creative people who want to get more done.
