Cardio, Code & Cookout Confidence

THE SITUATION:

You’ve got 12 minutes a day, two old injuries, and a complex relationship with bread. That doesn’t mean you can’t feel better, look sharper, and move like someone who doesn’t audibly groan getting off the couch.

ASK CHATGPT:

“Create a realistic fitness plan for a 30-something dad with no time, two injuries, and a deep emotional bond with carbs.”

This isn’t about abs. It’s about being able to pick up your kid and the groceries in one trip without pulling something.

THE SITUATION:

I needed a site for my thing — fast. No templates, no Squarespace rage, no trying to pick between 12 fonts that all look the same.

ASK CHATGPT:

“Write a prompt I can paste into Manus to generate a clean, professional website for my company.”

Then I pasted it into Manus — a Chinese-built site builder that takes a prompt and returns a full working site in minutes. Homepage, copy, layout — done.

If you’ve got a side hustle or just want to look like you exist online — this combo works.

⚠️ Note: don’t paste anything sensitive. It’s solid for low-stakes public pages, not your tax forms.

THE SITUATION:

You’re at a kid’s party. One dad casually mutters, “Rates are still sticky,” and everyone nods like that means anything.

You want to join in. You don’t want to look like you read three thinkpieces just to say “soft landing.”

ASK CHATGPT:

“Explain the current state of the economy in 4 bullet points I can drop at a backyard barbecue. Keep it smart, short, and sound like I read Bloomberg but still mow my own lawn.”

OPTIONAL FOLLOW-UP:

“Now give me a one-liner about inflation that makes people pause and say ‘huh.’”

Because sometimes being the smartest guy in the yard just means delivering one perfectly timed line while refilling your Solo cup.
