In this live ProfitSurge webinar, host Charles Leikauf walks participants through the latest AI capabilities—especially the new ChatGPT 2.0 image model—and demonstrates how to rapidly generate Instagram reels, carousel posts, and professional‑looking financial charts for fractional CFO work. He shows how to prompt ChatGPT to turn a personal story into a swipeable carousel, replace generic AI faces with real or cartoon versions of the presenter, and batch‑create multiple images at once. The session also covers practical workflow tips: using personal photos, leveraging QuickBooks data to auto‑generate profit‑margin waterfall charts, integrating Claude/Anthropic tools, and setting custom instructions for tone and style. Throughout, participants ask questions about content strategy (reels vs. carousels), pricing of AI subscriptions, and how to train teams on AI tools. Charles emphasizes that AI can cut 10‑40 hours of manual work per employee for as little as $20‑$200 a month, but stresses the need for human oversight, authenticity, and story‑driven marketing for service‑based businesses like fractional CFOs and chiropractors.
