Introducing This New Way — A tactical AI podcast for leaders redefining how work gets done.

The way we work is changing fast.
That’s why we’re evolving this newsletter.

You might remember the Supermanagers podcast, a show we launched during the pandemic to help managers and their teams work better together in a remote setting.

AI has reshaped how work gets done – again. So we decided it was time for the podcast and the newsletter to evolve.

Today, we’re excited to introduce This New Way, a show for leaders who want real examples and step-by-step workflows from executives and operators using AI to radically improve how work gets done.

Each episode of This New Way comes with a companion newsletter (such as this one), breaking down the tools and tactics into easy, actionable tutorials.

We’re kicking things off with a breakdown of how I use AI to:

1. Cut my board meeting prep time in half.

2. Translate customer feedback into Product Requirement Documents, in under 2 minutes.

Tutorial 1: Create your board meeting report in under 10 minutes with AI

Busy execs, meet your new workflow: record a voice memo, feed it into ChatGPT, and get a polished board report in minutes.

1. Start with a previous report

   • Pull up a past board report (e.g., “State of the Product”).

   • Copy a section with the writing tone you want to replicate.
     

2. Prompt ChatGPT to analyze the style

   • Paste this into ChatGPT (Model O3 preferred) and use the prompt: “Can you please describe the writing style here so that anyone can replicate it? Be extremely precise and detailed.”

3. Record a voice memo

   • Use the ChatGPT desktop or mobile app to record a voice memo describing the update you want to write about (e.g., a new feature, a team achievement).

   • Let ChatGPT transcribe it automatically.
     

4. Generate the section

   • Prompt: “Use the transcript from my voice memo to write a section in the same style you described above.”

   • Paste in the transcript of your voice memo.
     

5. Review and refine

   • Read the output and make quick edits

   • You can rerun it using a different model (e.g., GPT-4 or Claude) if needed for tone or detail.
     

6. Create a reusable workflow

   • Save your style guide and process as a “Project” in ChatGPT for future reports.

   • Upload past memos and relevant docs for persistent context.

7. Repeat

   • For each new board section, just speak your memo → paste into your project → generate → review → done.
     

No more overthinking the first draft. Just fast, consistent, high-quality reporting with AI.

Tutorial 2: Create a product requirement document in under 2 minutes

This method reduces communication gaps between product, engineering, and leadership.

1. Record the meeting in Fellow:

   • Host or attend the customer interview using an AI meeting note taker such as Fellow.
     

2. Prompt Fellow:

   • After the meeting, use the "Ask Fellow" feature. Prompt it with something direct like: "What feedback did [Customer Name] have on the product?"

3. Prompt Fellow with the structure you want:

   • Let Fellow generate a high-level summary. Then immediately prompt again with: "Write a Product Requirements Document (PRD) based on the feedback from this conversation. Use the following structure: Problem, Job to Be Done, Proposed Solution."

4. Review and share:

   • Quickly skim the PRD for major errors or gaps. Then copy it directly into your company wiki, or wherever your product/engineering team operates.

AI tools mentioned in this episode:

1. ChatGPT desktop app (voice mode) & GPT-4o-01

2. ChatGPT “Projects” for reusable style guides

3. Chrome extension that opens ChatGPT on every new tab

4. Fellow AI Meeting Assistant – Ask Fellow, Redaction
