What if the reason AI still misses the mark isn’t your prompts, but that you’ve taught it how you sound without ever teaching it how you decide?

Getting AI to mimic your words is one thing. Getting it to understand the judgment behind your leadership is another.

In this episode, Dawn breaks down the difference between an AI voice profile and a thinking profile and shares four questions that help you capture the decision rules AI needs to work more effectively alongside you. If you’re a founder using AI for business, delegation, or decision-making, this is where personalization gets a whole lot more useful.

Want a space to test, ask, and grow with AI alongside other founders doing the same thing? Join the free AI for Founders CommunityBring your answer to Dawn’s question: What’s the thing you never cut, even when it costs you? The community is designed as a low-stakes place for founders to experiment with AI, share what’s working, and build confidence using it in their businesses.


Key Takeaways

  • Why teaching AI your tone and vocabulary isn’t enough when you need it to handle decisions and situations it hasn’t seen before.
  • How capturing your decision rules and judgment helps AI work more like a strategic partner and less like a really enthusiastic impersonator.
  • The four questions that reveal how you make decisions when you’re working, overwhelmed, finished, or completely stuck.
  • Why understanding your own failure modes can make AI more useful when decision fatigue hits not just when everything is going according to plan.
  • How turning the judgment trapped in your head into something explicit can support smarter delegation, stronger leadership, and less founder-dependent decision-making.
