Inspiration for this podcast:
"Muad'Dib learned rapidly because his first training was in how to learn. And the first lesson of all was the basic trust that he could learn. It's shocking to find how many people do not believe they can learn, and how many more believe learning to be difficult. Muad'Dib knew that every experience carries its lesson."
― Frank Herbert, Dune

Prompt Architecture: Mastering Strategic AI Prompting
A practical deep-dive into turning AI prompts into repeatable, high-impact results. We unpack four input types (simple questions, tasks, entity/classification prompts, and completions), the value of few-shot examples, and the power of positive guardrails. Learn how to shape context, use explicit structure with delimiters, and tune creativity with temperature. Then explore agentic planning—internal goal breakdown and self-review—to tackle multi-step challenges. Real-world tips for automation, training, and custom software, with a sponsor nod to Embersilk.
