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.

Bryan Lachapelle
Hi, I’m Bryan, and I’m the President of B4 Networks. I started working with technology since early childhood, and routinely took apart computers as early as age 13. I received my education in Computer Engineering Technology from Niagara College. Starting B4 Networks was always a dream for me, and this dream became true in 2004. I originally started B4 Networks to service the residential market but found that my true passion was in the commercial and industrial sectors where I could truly utilize my experience as a Network Administrator for a large Toronto based Marine Shipping company. My passion today is to ensure that each and every client receives top of the line services. My first love is for my wonderful family. I also enjoy the outdoors, camping, and helping others. I’m an active Canadian Forces Officer working with the 613 Fonthill Army Cadets as a member of their training staff.
