Most business owners are using AI every single day — and most of them are doing it wrong. Not because they’re not smart, but because nobody ever showed them the difference between Googling a question and actually working with AI.

In this episode of Unhacked, Justin, Mario, Bryan, and Josh break down the AI prompting frameworks that separate vague, hit-or-miss results from sharp, professional-grade outputs. Josh walks through the PTCF framework (Persona, Task, Context, Format) live — and the results speak for themselves: a generic prompt produced a 12-page document. The same request, properly framed, produced a 24-page, policy-ready incident response playbook.

The hosts also get real about AI’s dark side: hallucinations that send you to the grocery store for the wrong ingredients, wrong time zone answers delivered with total confidence, and why blindly trusting AI output in a business context can be genuinely dangerous.

Plus: a live walkthrough of Hatz, a secure AI platform designed specifically for business environments, and a practical challenge to get you building your own custom AI assistant before next week.

If you think AI is already working well enough for you — this episode will change your mind.

Justin Shelley has been in love with technology since his father brought home an Apple IIe when he was just 12 years old. But more than technology, Justin loves the world of business and entrepreneurship. As a child, he watched his parents struggle, and eventually lose their first business. Today his passion is helping his clients leverage technology to build their businesses, with the ultimate goal of preventing them from losing everything in the event of a cyber attack.

Cybercrime is everywhere, and class-action lawsuits are following in the wake. This deadly combination is destroying businesses and lives. Justin has a simple formula that will prevent both.
