Episode Transcript
[00:00:00] Hey, everybody, Bradley Charbonneau here. And if you're looking for the lip sync of my mouth moving to the words I'm saying now, it's not synced up. That's because I just recorded, I don't know, five minutes of not working audio. And here's the deal. I'm going to publish this anyway because it kicks in at a certain point. And I'm just going to. I'm going to zoom ahead here in a second, but I want to show you a little bit how I work behind the scenes with AI and what I'm using it to do to help me with progress of what I'm doing. Build things to help with this and what I need to do next, like a list dashboard and a roadmap and an overview. And I want a dashboard for what I'm working on.
[00:00:53] I'm going to zip ahead here to give you a little bit of background of what I'm working on. This is I'm working with Storyteller os. This is the software, the platform, the factory, if you will, the toolbox, A multitude of tools that Shell Honecker has built. And I am digging in to understand it better myself and also to help others, like maybe like you, like authors, potentially see the power of this tool and what it could do for you, an author. The pitch is that it is like an everything author, author, business in a box.
[00:01:35] I am kicking the tires and checking things out here to see what we can do with it. So what I want to do is it's a little bit for myself.
[00:01:44] I want to build a dashboard so that I know where I am in the process, what I've done so far, what I still need to do, where I am with this step, the tool of Storytelleros. What do I need to do? Right, So a basic overview of a status report, as well as a project management tool, as well as a dashboard to show me what's going on. Okay. Okay. I have just walked through. I can see, I'm watching here on the screen, and I know when the audio is going to kick in and it's going to kick in in a minute. And that will be the actual me recording what I did 20 minutes ago, walking through this entire process.
[00:02:29] I hope you enjoy it. Let me know if you have questions about Storyteller OS or about anything related to this. And I will let you now kick in and enjoy.
[00:02:39] For now. Thanks for watching.
[00:02:45] Hey, Charlie. Period.
[00:02:49] Great. Period.
[00:02:50] I just wanted to make sure that the transcription was on, period. So here we go.
[00:02:57] Period. What I'M looking for is a dashboard or roadmap or status dashboard of where I am with Storyteller os.
[00:03:11] I would like to know am I on step two of ten or two of a hundred? How far have I come along?
[00:03:18] What have I done already? What do I still need to do? And I would like you to build me a dashboard that gives me an overview of all of the steps that I still need to do as well as what I've already done.
[00:03:34] Now I'm going to ask you to remember back with your knowledge of Storyteller os because we've been working with it now for quite a while and you know all of the elements. You know about ads studio and marketing studio and social studio and publishing studio. You know about all the elements, storytelleros and what it can do.
[00:03:59] I think you know about where I am in the process.
[00:04:02] So what have I done so far? What do I still need to do?
[00:04:06] What is optional, what is required?
[00:04:09] Also would love to have something like a meter of remember you know that I love infographics. So I would like this dashboard to be very visual and very easy to understand to see. Like, how am I doing today? How am I doing this week, how am I doing this month? How am I doing this quarter? Or whatever.
[00:04:27] Whatever you think is relevant for me to better understand my this where I am and what I still need to do.
[00:04:35] Just to be clear, we're talking about storyteller OS, although there are some other elements. There is you, Charlie comma, for example, my AI agent using ChatGPT, period. There's also stos s, t o s or your storyteller OS.
[00:04:55] And there is my second brain, which you have access to. We're using a program called Obsidian, period. I also don't want to get bogged down with all of these names of software and tools that that we're using, period. I know that you also have access to my three websites using WordPress and that I have uploaded 40 books.
[00:05:18] So with what I've told you so far, do you have enough information and to give me a dashboard to see what am I doing with STOs with Storyteller OS and what do I still need to do?
[00:05:33] And let's not make it overwhelming and let's also not make it so that I'm going to give up hope because I actually am on step two of 100. You follow me so far, let's see how we're doing and ask me any questions you need from me right now.
[00:05:48] You know that I want you to build a site by the way using ChatGPT sites and where I can have a dashboard that I can check in on and see how I'm doing, period. Okay, I'm going to let you see what you can do for now.
[00:06:06] Okay, back to you. Hi, viewer.
[00:06:10] That's usually what I'm doing, right? I'm talking with Charlie. I'm talking with my, my chat. Whether you're using Claude or Gemini or ChatGPT or whatever, I'm having a conversation. So here I know that my chat here I'm in codex. If you look at the upper left, I'm in the codex.
[00:06:28] This is the, like the work or the cowork or, you know, deeper model and not just.
[00:06:34] And so. And I also know a few things. I know that Charlie here is connected to my Storyteller OS system.
[00:06:42] I know it's connected to my second brain. My second brain. That's a whole nother topic. But basically it's my memory.
[00:06:49] Everything that I've input, everything I put into ChatGPT over the past years, which is kind of crazy.
[00:06:56] It has access to my books, it has access to my three websites, it has access to my YouTube channel, which has been sort of my main thing in recent years, frankly. And so let's see what it's doing and can it give me a dashboard? Remember, part of my goal is also to help me, but part of my goal is to help others.
[00:07:18] Maybe I could help them build a dashboard. And if it's so easy as just talking to my Charlie here and asking him to build me a dashboard, then maybe we can also build a dashboard more easily for students of Storyteller. Okay.
[00:07:34] Okay, let's see.
[00:07:36] Maybe on starting line. Okay, ask me a question. Here we go. Which outcome should lead in next 30 days?
[00:07:50] But this is good. It's a bit of an interview, right?
[00:07:53] Give me stuff.
[00:07:55] Okay, so it knows because I said. I said build me a site like a web page. And so it's going to build me a dashboard that's going to be on a site, which is what I want it. Ask me a question my. With my want in the next 30 days.
[00:08:11] Yeah, I'd love to know also if this is interesting for you. As some of you know, I'm like a closet techie. People know me, they know I'm quite tech savvy, always have been.
[00:08:22] So this kind of stuff is normal for me. But I'm usually, you know, out in the woods and talking about personal development and habits and stuff and change and confidence and clarity and courage and all that good stuff behind the Scenes.
[00:08:38] I use a lot of tech to help me build my business, to help me frankly, to help me even streamline my own thinking and what I'm doing and how it all works.
[00:08:49] So, okay, it's random command site, which outcome 30 days. Got it. I'll use it to prioritize Dashboard. Okay. Let's see what it's doing. By the way, a little. I could. I could pretend here. This episode is sponsored by Storyteller LS.
[00:09:06] What kind of is. Because I.
[00:09:10] I'm working with Shell, helping her get the word out. And this is. This is part of it, right? Because it's. It's quite. It's a lot.
[00:09:20] You go to Storytelleros, you'll see everything it can do. And it has an email service, it has an ads service, it has a social media that she calls them studios.
[00:09:32] There is a sort of the writing studio where you can actually put your manuscripts and have your different formats. You can do formatting in there.
[00:09:41] You can. I'm pretty sure this is possible in a moment. You can format your books, load them to, you know, the variety.
[00:09:54] Needs access to my music.
[00:09:59] What do we got?
[00:10:00] I think it's called marketing. Could be called studio ads, writing.
[00:10:06] There's a different name.
[00:10:09] There's media, there's calendar, there's publishing due to socials. And see, even me, right? I know it pretty well and even I. I can't like bang it out. What it can do. Basically, it wants. I want you to. I want you to run your author business.
[00:10:25] And ideally you can use all of everything in Storyteller or App.
[00:10:30] You do that.
[00:10:32] Okay. I could hit pause here and see what it's going to do, but I kind of wanted to show you in real time this stuff works. I do have a paid account, by the way. If you're. You have free accounts in your AI, you might. This might run. Run out of credits.
[00:10:52] So.
[00:10:53] Hey, in. In other news, I am heading to Las Vegas next week. If. If you're going to come, I'd love to see you there. Oh. Oh, all right.
[00:11:05] It's still busy, I think.
[00:11:08] Separated verified activity from proposed targets.
[00:11:14] We'll check in log.
[00:11:16] Remember, this is to help because a lot of people I know are very new to Storyteller os. Where do I start and what do I do and how do I know how far and that's a bit I want to get across here. I'd like to see almost like a timeline or a progress meter. In fact, it doesn't have a progress meter. I'm going to add it and in fact, I'd like to have. I'm a bit of a dork when it comes to visual progress meters and infographics. I like to know where I'm. Where am I in the process. So maybe we have a built in progress meter where it says and even started the ads studio, uploaded a whole bunch of books to the writing studio or what?
[00:12:01] It's still busy in the meantime.
[00:12:15] There we go. There we go. Okay. Am I easy to please or what? I got two of five milestones. It's already like given me a sense of ease and you know, almost halfway done. Right.
[00:12:27] And so it's my private dashboard that I'm sharing publicly with you right here.
[00:12:33] Built a system. Find your rhythm. Okay. Remember? So it knows me, right? So it knows my work, knows I like about science and spirit about. Here's the rhythm right up. Routine and rhythm.
[00:12:48] Oh, I need to log in.
[00:12:51] Maybe because it's private.
[00:12:55] I'm just saying open my private dashboard.
[00:13:00] Only available to me. Open in ChatGPT.
[00:13:05] Do I really need to log in? Maybe it logged in because I have a. Because it's a private dashboard.
[00:13:15] Okay.
[00:13:19] Yeah. And then it'll give me sort of tips down here. I don't know if you can read that gray.
[00:13:24] Uh oh, my storyteller journey. Does it know that I have to say the word journey like that? Because I think it's a cheesy word.
[00:13:35] Give me the run around here.
[00:13:38] Trying to keep this under 10 minutes. Oh, there we go.
[00:13:43] Okay. All right. I'm gonna. I'm actually gonna say yes to this.
[00:13:47] Can you make it.
[00:13:49] Let it do its thing there and update automatically? Okay, so what do we got? What do we got? How long? I don't, I don't know how I have a clock here, I don't think. Do I?
[00:14:01] Oh, I'm at 14 minutes. Okay, sorry. All right, let's wrap this up in 14 minutes. Ladies and gentlemen, in 14 minutes, I have built here a.
[00:14:10] A storyteller journey. A dashboard, Bradley's private dashboard, which you are lucky enough to see. Now I've got two or five milestones established. Awesome. I've got my little updates. I've got number of books, great social destinations connected. So what I would like to know. Social destinations connected. Okay, great. Eight of how many? Am I done? Are there eight possible, right? Are there 10? And I'm almost done. I should do more. Is there a task that I need to do? 47 titles. It knows me, remember? It knows me well enough.
[00:14:44] Do I have 100 titles and I've Only done half of them. I'd like to see a progress bar, progress meter of what I've done. I have published two social posts and I have one video pilot ready for review. Cool. Okay, so this is a nice overview. I'd like it more visual. I don't know. I like pretty things.
[00:15:00] Here we go.
[00:15:02] Your route to a steady rhythm.
[00:15:04] Gather my assets, connect to my workshop. So okay, you are here. This is what I wanted, right? I wanted a progress meter of this is where I am. So I've gathered my assets, connected to my workshop. I got a website.
[00:15:18] Connected. Oh, and social connections. Great.
[00:15:21] Prove one full routine social media post published video package. Wait. Okay, so it's waiting for me to review a video. Great.
[00:15:30] Next would be repeat next week and learn as a play. Awesome. Okay, so here we go. So today, why does this actually work?
[00:15:39] Wow.
[00:15:40] So look at this. Today.
[00:15:41] This is what I need to do. I need to.
[00:15:44] I think I need to verify that video audit. Edit a baseline. Okay.
[00:15:50] Disapprove it was created. Next small move. Review the pilot and give one round of feedback. Okay. That's what I need to do. Right.
[00:15:58] That's today and this week.
[00:16:02] I need to do a master edit. Vertical edit. Captions, thumbnail. Okay. On my YouTube videos. Captions and thumbnail. Great. That's what I need to do in the week. This month. I mean, I did say this month and this quarter, didn't I?
[00:16:14] Set up repeatable habit.
[00:16:16] First distribution proof to Facebook. Okay. Awesome.
[00:16:21] Just three next steps. Review the pilot, finish, run, release. Choose a gentle cadence. So I would also love. Is there really a checklist?
[00:16:29] My workshop at a glance.
[00:16:32] I don't know what workshop it's talking about.
[00:16:34] Unless it's talking about Storyteller os.
[00:16:41] I'm not sure if this is me. It's like related to me, I think so.
[00:16:48] Format records. Okay. This one's a little clearer, a little less clear. I mean, the rest can wait. Wow.
[00:16:56] Optional. Okay, so when I optional stuff I can do this Charlie can do. It's giving me a little overview what I need to do. Great. I'm going to ask if you want to hold on for just a moment. Defining. I'm going to say.
[00:17:19] This is looking fantastic.
[00:17:22] Period.
[00:17:25] Is this thing on? Question mark.
[00:17:29] Great. Period.
[00:17:31] So I would like a little more visual elements to this period. For example, a progress meter to show that I have connected eight social connectors.
[00:17:46] But what's the total? In other words, comma, does that mean I am done with that particular task and I don't need to do that anymore?
[00:17:55] Question mark. See where I'm going with this? Question mark.
[00:17:59] What else? Period. Because you know that I have 40 books and you know that I've uploaded them all. In a way, we could mark that as finished. Maybe there are some optional tasks that I could do, but again, not to overwhelm me, like, say, I could do for gazillion things, but I would rather have a simple task that I could do, period.
[00:18:37] Okay, comma. So for now, just a quick update to make it more visual. And remember that I like steampunk design elements, period.
[00:18:47] Meaning things like pulleys and levers and ropes. And it kind of looks like a factory, but I don't want it to be dark and dreary. However, I want it to be light and fun and positive and magical, period. In fact, let's use some burnt oranges and light blue turquoise colors, period. You also know that I love vintage travel poster art design.
[00:19:19] And for banners, if it's possible, could you make it in national, US national park, style? If there are titles or banners that we could do from a visual graphic perspective.
[00:19:34] Question mark. I realized that I'm getting more into the design right here than the content.
[00:19:39] So let's try to use that steampunk design to be not just pretty, but also useful to show me meters or levers or indicators to show my progress and also give me some wins, comma. In other words, let me know that I have completed some tasks and they are done so I can celebrate, period. Sound like fun? Question mark?
[00:20:19] Okay, my dear viewers, if you're still watching this, I know I say this often.
[00:20:26] There is so much love in the world and I am sending some of it to you. I promised energy. I don't know if this is draining your energy or enticing it. I think this is pretty cool, right? I mean, like, this is nice. Two out of five things. Okay, that's great, but I want a little more.
[00:20:44] More spec specificity. Okay?
[00:20:48] Oh, okay. So I'm gonna.
[00:20:51] Oh, shoot. I guess I didn't stop my.
[00:20:55] So here. It's still busy. It's actually path and private site, so I'm gonna say steer, which means do this thing. I just said now, please.
[00:21:05] By the way, if you're new to ChatGPT or Quad or any of these things, this is the kind of thing you can do, right? It just built me a dashboard in 14 minutes. It's now more than 14 minutes. It is now 21 minutes. Okay. If you're still with me. Hey, pretty cool, right? Hey, I'd love to if you're an author or some kind of solopreneur, some kind of creator. I'd love to hear what you. I haven't showed you anything that Storyteller actually does, but basically, if it's your entire author business, you know, in a box, then is that interesting for you? Would you like to hear more about it? What? Would you like to hear about it? What. What are your questions and.
[00:21:44] And doubts and fears and. Let's see.
[00:21:49] Okay, so, okay, it made a task. It's going to do this thing at 8am and.
[00:21:58] I just want to see if it's going to make it a little prettier. I mean, I. I really like it. It's very clean. It look. It's very AI Design. Of course. I mean, hello, it is AI.
[00:22:08] So let's see what it does.
[00:22:14] It's busy doing its thing. I think I will hit pause. I'm going to hit pause because I've been blabbing away enough. I'm going to hit pause.
[00:22:23] Although when I hit pause, sometimes it breaks. Thanks.
[00:22:30] I didn't get this. My workshop at a glance.
[00:22:38] Teaching Storyteller os.
[00:22:47] No, no, I think this is me.
[00:22:53] Okay, so here, look. It says if I actually read something, it says here, this site connected, but the other two are not verified. So this could be a checkbox item. Right? Like, I would like some. Some text check boxes. And that, by the way, if I actually check, that means I did something. And I would like it to record that I did the thing and to give me. Remember, I like small wins.
[00:23:18] Big fan of Amy Porterfield. And she says, you know, if you're making sure your clients, your customers have small wins and they win often.
[00:23:31] Okay, This is my update.
[00:23:40] Oh, yeah. Okay, so I want more.
[00:23:47] Yeah. By the way, as you'll notice, my prompts are very casual. Right. I'm just talking and just do. Do this thing, please. Here's what I wanted to look like and here's what I'd like it to do. And the beauty is that I'm just away here.
[00:24:01] It's listening and it's doing things.
[00:24:06] Kind of update things in a minute. I'm tempted to hit pause because you're being very patient. If you're still watching.
[00:24:18] I like this here. So gotta check in. Oh, oh, oh. It's updating something.
[00:24:24] It's worth the wait.
[00:24:26] Okay, so it knows. It knows my design style. It may. So I like vintage travel poster art and sort of.
[00:24:36] All right, here we go. Right? There we go. So this is great. Look, there we go. Thank you very much. It's got a progress meter. Uploaded my 40 books. Upload complete. Boom again. And I can hide it if I want, but. Oh, what's that?
[00:24:51] Eight of eight. Okay, now I know, right? Now I know I've completed that thing.
[00:24:56] So in my next iteration, I would say something like, I would love to have again, a broader progress meter of what am I doing?
[00:25:04] How am I doing? Right.
[00:25:06] Okay, so, like, this one doesn't so much because what are the two things I did?
[00:25:13] What are the five things I'm supposed to do? I don't know what the other three are.
[00:25:19] Me, done this, 40, whatever.
[00:25:26] Might not even be done, but reconnect. YouTube maintenance.
[00:25:34] Okay? So here, this would. I would prefer this.
[00:25:37] A task. A true task area where I can check a box thing. Right.
[00:25:45] Okay. I got to stop pretending it's done because it wasn't done.
[00:25:50] I love it. I love it. See, this is. This is very. Oh, optional. Oh, look at this. Optional.
[00:25:56] Okay, optional thing. Do this right.
[00:26:01] I'm working. I'm clear.
[00:26:04] Hey, look at that. See, it checked. I'm connected to Storyteller S. Great. So that could be like a status check, right? How are the connections? Am I connected to Storyteller? Rest. Am I connected my second brain? Yeah, apparently.
[00:26:16] What change. Okay, recorded a check.
[00:26:20] I need to do this here. What should I do next?
[00:26:23] Reconnect YouTube. Review the video pilot. Use your weekly thing.
[00:26:28] Okay, here we go. This is. This is good.
[00:26:31] Yeah. Okay, we saw this in the previous version.
[00:26:34] Done. I like that they're green. I've done them. Done number one. Done number two. Want number three.
[00:26:39] I gotta do four and five. Great. And remember, what is this, 20 minutes, right. Of me also talking to you, but also talking to my Charlie here.
[00:26:48] And imagine what I could do, you know, in an hour.
[00:26:53] Because I could say, okay, let's talk about the. You know, tell me what the other three things are. Tell me what the two things are. What's the milestone anyway, Right?
[00:27:01] Okay, I'm going to let you go because this is 1, 2, 3, what I should do.
[00:27:09] Love that.
[00:27:11] Doesn't really understand this workshop at a glance part.
[00:27:18] Is there anything. Okay. Oh, look at that. I've done that. I've done this. This, this, this part here.
[00:27:25] There we go.
[00:27:26] I'm going to check in.
[00:27:28] And I'm Created this.
[00:27:38] Okay, I'm going to sign off. Hey, thanks for watching. I'm Bradley Schraviner again. This is the repossible podcast and YouTube channel. And this was me not walkin Pepper. I miss him dearly. If you see him in the Netherlands in the woods. Say hi.

[00:27:58] And again, if you're there at Author Nation, come say hi.
[00:28:02] And this, what do you think? What do you think of this? Right? Is this crazy time? Remember, I'm just talking about Storyteller os. I know this is very meta, right? Like I'm doing something within sort of my, my working relationship with Storyteller os. And then yet I'm talking about how to use AI in a, in a way. I'm also showing you what you can do in under 30. Please. 28 minutes.
[00:28:25] 28 minutes, really? With explanation and me blabbing away half the time and explaining it to you. What do you think? Cool stuff. All right, I'm going to cancel. I mean, I'm going to stop. See you next week.
