About This Episode
What if you could capture the way you think — every instinct, every judgment call, every decision shortcut –– and hand it to anyone who needed it?
Jeff Borschowa is a die-hard systems thinker who turns the way brilliant people work into Custom GPTs that speak, reason, and respond like them. In this episode of Rogue, we dismantle his entire methodology –– step by step –– so you can steal it.
Key Takeaways
– Plan for hours, build in minutes. The quality of your Custom GPT is determined before you ever open the builder. The planning phase takes hours; the actual build takes about 15 minutes. Rush the plan, and everything falls apart.
– The “Reasonably Intelligent Intern” test. Have the least experienced person on your team follow your documented process from start to finish. What breaks is institutional knowledge you forgot to capture. What they can’t do, the AI can’t do either.
– Watch for “and,” “or,” and “if/then.” These three words are landmines inside every broken system. “And” signals an assumed decision that was never explicitly made. “Or” marks a decision point that still needs to be resolved. Both are system breakers hiding in plain language.
– Every system needs guardrails. Jeff builds kill switches into every AI he creates before anything else –– because a powerful tool without guardrails is just a powerful weapon. The differentiator between helpful and harmful systems, he says, is building with love.
– The critical path always starts at the bank account. How did the money get here? Work backwards from that question and you’ll always find the 20% of work that generates 80% of results.
