Train Ai to Challenge You...(Not Just Agree With Everything You Say)
What if your AI isn’t actually helping you grow... but keeping you stuck?In this no-fluff solo episode, Bella Vasta pulls back the curtain on a hidden danger in how most entrepreneurs are using AI tools like ChatGPT—and it's not what you think.
Most business owners are using AI to get validation, not transformation. And while that feels productive, it could be keeping you locked in your own mental loop—never challenged, never stretched, and never truly growing.
In this eye-opening episode, Bella tackles the confirmation bias epidemic inside our AI conversations. If you’ve ever plugged your ideas into ChatGPT and felt like a genius after it spit them back out, this one's for you. You might be operating in what Bella calls an AI echo chamber, where your own thoughts are just getting regurgitated—and it’s costing you BIG TIME in creativity, innovation, and true leadership.
But don’t worry—Bella doesn’t just call it out. She gives you the exact scripts and practical strategies to turn your AI into a challenger, not a cheerleader. She shows you how to use ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and all the others to push your limits, poke holes in your ideas, and sharpen your thinking like a $10K consultant would.
Get ready for tough love, bold reframes, and tangible tools that will make your next AI convo actually valuable.

In this episode, you’ll discover:


The #1 mindset trap you’re likely falling into with AI (and don’t even know it)


5 signs you're stuck in an AI echo chamber


The exact prompts to use to make AI challenge you instead of just agreeing


How to program AI tools like ChatGPT to be a strategist, not just a yes-man


Why true growth comes from friction, not flattery—and how to embrace it
