Every tool, every system, every piece of content I create with AI starts from the same place: my values. After 1,000+ days of daily AI usage, the most important thing I have learned is that the technology is only as good as the intention behind it.
This is my AI value system. These are the eight principles that guide how I build, lead, and create with AI every single day. They are the foundation of everything I teach my clients, and I believe they can serve as a compass for anyone who wants to use AI with integrity and impact.
The best AI users are not the ones who know the most prompts. They are the ones who bring the most of themselves to the process.
Why Values Matter in the AI Era
AI is a mirror. It reflects whatever you bring to it. If you bring scattered thinking, you get scattered results. If you bring clarity, intention, and purpose, you get outputs that actually move the needle.
Most people jump into AI without any foundation. They chase prompts, tips, and hacks. They get inconsistent results and wonder why AI does not work for them the way it seems to work for others.
The difference is not the tool. The difference is the operating system behind it. And that operating system starts with your values.
The 8 Principles of My AI Value System
1. Radiate Positivity
The energy you bring to AI shapes the energy of what comes back. When I sit down with ChatGPT, I bring the same positive, creative energy I bring to everything else in my life. I approach every conversation with enthusiasm and curiosity. The result is outputs that carry that same energy forward into the world.
This is not about being naive or ignoring hard truths. It is about choosing to lead with optimism and possibility. When your AI interactions start from a place of positive energy, everything you create carries that signature.
2. Always Learning
AI evolves fast. New models, new capabilities, new use cases appear every week. The people who thrive in this environment are the ones who stay in learning mode. I approach every day with a beginner's mind. Even after 1,000+ days of daily usage, I am still finding new ways to create, new ways to think, and new ways to serve my clients.
This means being willing to experiment. Being willing to fail. Being willing to throw out what worked last month because something better has emerged. The learning never stops, and that is what makes this exciting.
3. Extreme Ownership
AI does not make decisions for you. You make decisions, and AI helps you execute them better and faster. I take full ownership of every output, every piece of content, and every strategy that comes from my AI workflow. If something is not good enough, that is on me. If the output misses the mark, the input was not clear enough.
This principle eliminates the trap of blaming the tool. When you own every result, you become obsessed with getting better inputs, better context, and better frameworks. That is where the real growth happens.
4. YES AND
This comes straight from improv, and it is one of the most powerful principles you can bring to AI. When ChatGPT gives you something good, say "yes, and..." and build on top of it. When you have an idea and AI offers a new angle, say "yes, and..." and explore where it leads.
The people who get the most out of AI are the ones who co-create with it. They do not just accept the first output. They do not just reject what does not match their expectation. They build. They iterate. They compound. That is the YES AND mindset in action.
5. Live in Action
Knowledge without action is just entertainment. AI can give you ideas, strategies, frameworks, and content all day long. None of it matters if you do not execute. My value system prioritizes action above everything else.
This means shipping content even when it is not perfect. It means implementing the strategy today, not next week. It means using AI to move faster, not just to think more. The world rewards people who execute, and AI gives you the ability to execute at a level that was not possible before.
6. Be Relentless
Building a world-class AI practice takes consistency and commitment. I did not get to 1,000+ days of daily usage by dabbling. I got here by showing up every single day, regardless of how I felt, regardless of what was happening in my life or business.
Relentlessness in AI means using it when it is easy and when it is hard. It means pushing through the learning curve. It means refusing to settle for mediocre outputs when you know great is possible. The compound effect of relentless daily usage is extraordinary.
7. Do What Is Right
AI gives you incredible power, and with that power comes responsibility. I use AI ethically. I am transparent about how I use it. I never pass off AI-generated work as something it is not. I use it to amplify my voice and expertise, not to replace the human connection that makes my work meaningful.
This principle also means being honest about what AI can and cannot do. I do not hype it beyond reality. I do not promise magic. I help people see the real, practical, transformational potential of AI when it is used with integrity.
8. Talk with Candor
I tell the truth about AI. To my clients, to my audience, and to myself. The AI space is full of hype, empty promises, and people selling shortcuts that do not exist. I cut through that noise with direct, honest communication.
Candor also applies to how I interact with AI itself. I am specific about what I want. I am clear about what is working and what is not. I give direct feedback and expect direct results. This level of candor produces the best outputs because there is no ambiguity in the conversation.
How These Values Show Up in Practice
Having values on paper is one thing. Living them daily is another. Here is how these eight principles show up in my actual AI practice:
- Every morning, I start my AI work with intention. I know exactly what I want to create and why it matters. That is Extreme Ownership and Live in Action working together.
- Every piece of content goes through my Soul Data filter. It has to sound like me, feel like me, and represent my values. That is Radiate Positivity and Do What Is Right.
- Every client engagement is built on a foundation of honest assessment. Where are you with AI right now? What is actually possible for you? What will it take to get there? That is Talk with Candor.
- Every new AI update gets explored, tested, and evaluated. I stay at the cutting edge because I am committed to Always Learning.
- Every conversation with ChatGPT is a co-creation session. I build on ideas, push for better, and explore unexpected directions. That is YES AND and Be Relentless.
Building Your Own AI Value System
You do not need to adopt my values. You need to know your own. The most powerful thing you can do as an AI user is get clear on what you stand for and bring that into every interaction.
Here are three questions to get you started:
- What matters most to you in how you work and create? Your answer becomes the foundation of your AI practice.
- What standards do you refuse to compromise on? These become your quality filters for every AI output.
- What kind of impact do you want your AI-powered work to have? This becomes your north star for every project.
When you know your values and you bring them into AI, everything changes. Your outputs get better. Your confidence grows. Your impact multiplies. Because now you are not just using a tool. You are expressing who you are through it.
Values are not a constraint on AI. They are a multiplier. The clearer you are about who you are, the more powerful AI becomes in your hands.
